Save Mother Earth: Recycle


So I recently went to an event, and ran into two guys from my past. Both gorgeous, both single, both open to an er, reconnection...and both completely unrecyclable.

The first was The Lift, famous for being constantly high. It could be 6 a.m . on a Monday morning, or 3 p.m. in the afternoon, I don't think I've ever hung out with The Lift when he wasn't high. Sad part is that he's very, very intelligent., and has an AMAZING body. Sculpted by God, I tell ya. But that doesn't make up for the fact that he's always high. But he's little like soiled foil paper...you could recycle it, but the energy it would take just isn't worth it.

The second was Turtle. I hadn't seen him in over a year and he was still gorgeous. We chatted and went over in painstakingly great detail why it didn't work out between us. I reminded him that we'd dated off and on for two years without so much as a kiss. Then he suggested that we try again.
"Do you realize that we'd probably be in the same position today if I hadn't put a stop to our dating?" I asked.
"What's wrong with that?" he wondered. Apparently, he didn't see a problem with two people dating for (what would have been, if we'd continued seeing each other) 6 years without any physical interaction.

That was when I knew he was a styrofoam dude: technically recyclable, but for some inexplicable reason, it's not on the recycling list.

I also saw one of THE most gorgeous guys I've ever seen. He was tall, dark and obviously African, and looked like a model. I was in the process of presenting to him...when a familiar face showed up right beside him. Turns out he's
Mr. Senegal's friend. Go figure. Even I won't take it to the tertiary level with that situation. LOL.

Speaking of recycling, I recently spent an entire day with an ex of mine...

nothing wrong with recycling
people, unlike objects, do grow and change
except for when they stay exactly the same

Recycling is oftentimes a viable option considering that individual offers, at the very least, a modicum of familiarity. Hell, I had a recycle speed dial - about 7 women that I'd had relationships with at *least* twice.

By the same token...they're your ex for a reason, no?

Two years, you say? Did you happen to cock your leg up whilst sitting on the couch and float out an air biscuit - w/o even offering to get up, SE? That will do the trick, you know :)

@ GC, I have a really hard time being convinced that people change. I think they just mask the offending behavior til they get what they want.

LOL @ Jameil: despite my blog, I'm really a traditional gal who doesn't mind taking things slow, but even that was a bit much for me.

@Anonymous: agreed, recycling is useful for physical, er, support...not much else I don't think. I didn't even get to the farting stage. *sigh*

@Ruthibelle: my idea of saving the trees is not getting married so you won't have to waste all that paper on bridal shower and wedding invitations. LOL. Sorry, you asked.
