Issue 140- "Just popping in"

Written pencilled, inked by: Heath P Lail

Just poppin in to say hi. Nothing heard from the Shauna camp. Hopefully the camp has moved a far way away to bother me no more, and wallow in her stupidity.

I'm bushed from working hard this week, and it is just Tuesday. Pulling articles is not my idea of fun, but it must be done to appease the Higher Lords of Psychology, or whoever the Hell it is that fated I needed 4 classes of Spanish for my B.A. degree. I'll trudge through though...I always do....the way I was raised:)

Y'know I'm enjoying my bachelorhood quite a bit. I still hate being alone so much, but I can do things I couldn't do if I was still attached to someone, like drive to the city park between classes and read, or take a small nature walk. I enjoy this freedom...it is refreshing after being brainwashed for the last 4 years. I have to wonder though...are women really shallow? Like, as shallow as men sometimes? Just wondering because sometimes I feel as though there are people out there who would date me if a few things they don't like about me were changed. I know I don't have a lot of money but I have learned that money is not everything. A relationship built on money...well, we all saw what happened to me with Shauna. Money was a serious factor to her, and it led to her letting me go, (admittedly conceitedly thinking) the stupidest thing she has ever done. I think women ought to consider more than looks or money when finding their special someone...stuff like intellect (never know when it might save your ass), sense of humor (HIGHLY underrated by modern women) and the fact that this guy, whom you are criticizing, loves you for who you are, faults and all. Ok, so you aren't Claudia Schiffer...big deal to us. If we truly love you, be sure that we mean it when we say "I love YOU, fillinblank". Not saying it to you but thinking of someone else. Guess I'm just tired of all these little preppy chicks on campus looking at me like I'm not worthy to be on the same campus as them...well guess what I don't make 4.0s like you but that's because I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb or a nerd. I could beat the pants off most of the people down there GPA-wise if I wanted but I choose to remain just another face. That is my right, and no one can fault me for it. Ok, that's my little rant...stop being so judgemental about unimportant stuff about guys and just love us for who we are. We honestly don't wanna change anything about you, why change us?

Best,

Heath
