Ex-land

I don't know what it is about ex-boyfriends, specifically ones I have broken up with....they seem to think that if they wait a few weeks, or a month or so, that I will have changed my mind and just desperately want them back. Riiiiiight. What part of "I'm not in love with you anymore" do you not understand. It just reinforces the reason why I broke up with him in the first place! I mean, he clearly doesn't respect me and my decision enough to take either seriously...or he wouldn't be attempting to second guess me.

EARTH TO EX: WE ARE NOT A COUPLE AND WE WON"T EVER BE AGAIN. That clear enough, you think? I have no desire to be with a fanatic sports-loving, no goal-making, content to rot in job because you are too set in your ways to get another one, not liking me going out with my friends (whatever), Playboy subscription-having at the age of the 36, stuck in the 80's music playing, clothes-shopping at second-hand stores, computer and cellphone/technology hating, contant prodding about baby names (baby, are you kidding me! well, not now anyway), stuck in routine not changing, obsessive Seinfeld watching, no savings account having, Mama's boy who is 21-year-old boy in 36-year-old man's body.

The reason why I choose this medium to rant and rave about him is because he doesn't own a computer, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know what a blog is.

I know this sounds cold, but I have been dying to get this off my chest. I'll leave you with a song from one of my favorites, David Ryan Harris...he totally nailed it:

You should move on, try to move on, and leave this alone.
I'm busy trying to make plans for my future, but you're hanging on my past.
Now in hindsight, it wasn't all right...but it wasn't all wrong.
We had a love that seemed strong at the start, but I knew that it wouldn't last.

Chorus:
We had a good thing, don't get me wrong
But it's not meant to be...so sing a new song.

Go and find some peace of mind
And maybe in time you'll find someone
that loves all that you do, someone that's
closer to perfect for you.

Find someone that loves you baby, find someone that drives you crazy..
I'm so in love with someone new, and I really want you to find the same for you.

See what I mean?
