New Path - Sex and the Suburbs

My thirtieth birthday is coming up in just a few weeks. As I have mentioned in prior postings. And I've been thinking about this blog a bit. How it's lost it's direction since it was started back in 2007. Originally, at least some of you know, this blog was started as a journey of recovery. Recovery from years and years without medication for my disorder. Well, I'd like to say I'm pretty much recovered at this point.

The self medicating (boozing it up) that had started during those years has subsided. Not that there isn't a teeny battle with it every once in a while but, really, I'm doing ok. I can have two beers without having six. And I've found my dosage in relation to the doctor prescribed medication. I've done my battle with my supervisor over my hours, making sure I'll be leveling out soon so I can take it an appropriate hour more days than not. My therapy appointments have been cut down and at this point we're focusing on two major themes. Why do I find myself only fully attracted to guys who aren't so good to me? And why do I seem to think that I'd be considered a fright by guys out in public?

So...

New focus.

For years my sister in friend and I joked about how I need to write all my dating exploits down. We haven't said it in a while but it used to be a topic we'd cover. I even came up with a title for the book (which I probably won't be sitting down to write) Sex and the Suburbs. The other day, I was speaking with my beloved on the phone and I talked about how I'd like a little more traffic flow to my blog. I can't deny that I'd like comments too. He pointed out that I hold some rather strong opinions and that I should start voicing them more. He said he believes my opinions would drive up the amount of visitors I get. Maybe he's right.

So...

Starting today, I'm going to start focusing solely on dating - thirty and beyond. I'm going to start exploring this and giving more opinions, more advice, more explanation. I've done a not so insignificant amount of research in this department and I'm going to expand on it, mixing it with my own experiences. You'll probably start to get some background stories and how I interpret them now. I welcome comments whenever you want to give them. I'd be happy to hear from you, my dear readers. This, my online story, will start from scratch. Me getting back into the game in September and the weight loss attempts I'm making before starting back up.

We'll see. Hope I can keep it interesting, at least for a while. If there are any topics in particular you'd like covered, feel free to email at m2006gush@yahoo.com. Or if you simply want to address anything I bring up. I may even be asking questions of you from time to time... don't be shy, answer please.

Fingers crossed... hope I don't start boring the crap out of people.

Sincerely,
GEM
