Guilty as charged- I listened to this bizarre little piece of bubblegum from the same artists who graced the world with "Barbie Girl". It is a catchy song though, and she is kind of cute!
But at any rate, it kind of reminds me of my situation- being a near-superhuman adventurer, and all that good stuff. Okay, maybe not that part. But being apart from the person you love, and going through all kinds of unforeseeable circumstances to get back home. Actually, there are spiders about that big down here, too. We saw one the other day, while out on a chow run. It was in the grass, and apparently is called a grass spider. They are huge, and apparently live (and presumably hunt) on the ground. Interestingly enough, the more poisonous spiders are generally smaller than that. I wonder what they eat- mice?
At any rate, there's just about 20 days until d-day. My ex has that length of time to respond or counter the divorce settlement, which basically says we have no common property, joint custody and nothing else to say to each other. I can't help but take a guilty pleasure in her reaction to receiving the not-so-good news- "It took me three days to read them, as I was furious". Revenge is indeed a dish best served cold, and in small quantities. As I grow older, the number of people whose opinion of me remains pretty steady- exes are not included in that number. I have the mental wherewithal to make my own judgement calls on this one, I think. But at the same time, I feel a tremendous weight off my shoulders- and I don't even want to think in these terms, but looking back on a successful life, I can say, I won. Of course, there are more important things in this world than mere vengeance, however. Like the future, and whatever strange new adventures it may show. I'll face it with both eyes open, and see where this road next turns.
