Almost

So I got an email from Cherry yesterday:

Hey Herm,

How's it going? So great to hear from you...we should so meet, you should send me some candy and flowers, I love to get these things. I have attached a picture of the scar on my knee per your request.



Hope to hear from you soon.

Love Cherry

XOXOXOXOX

This is so awesome, so I hop in my Geo Metro to head to a local Walgreens to pick up some candy and flowers for my love when my car won't start. So realizing it's way to cold for a bike ride, I call my pops to see about getting a jump. He wasn't happy. I think I ruined his day b/c the battery wouldn't take a charge and I couldn't decide if I should have it towed so we waited around all day trying to decide what to do. Around 10:30 PM I decided I should just get a battery, unfortunately most places were closed at that time, so he was pretty upset about having to waste another day on me tomorrow.

Overall I am pretty upset too b/c I didn't get the flowers for Cherry; does that make me a bad boyfriend?



If I get enough request, I will post the picture of the scar on her knee.

Hold the Presses

I have a girlfriend and I think her name is Cherry. Forget my previous work with Leonard Mark, I now have something more important, yea a girl!

Cherry found my myspace page and had to email me. I will give you bits of the email she sent me.

Heya pumpkin!
em>

Wow she called me pumpkin, this relationship is off to a great start - I love pumpkin pie; it's my favorite dessert.

I was browsing the site for single guys and my sixth sense made me stop at your ad page.

Once you go Herman you don't go back ladies.

I'm good-looking and in shape. I like doing many things, but prefer going to the movies, going to coffee shops or going shopping

This is great, I am only good at 3 things, none of which are the three things she is good at. Together we can do 6 things well.

I really adore shoes and purses! I'm hoping to find something casual and uncomplicated. I did the serious relationship thing a couple of times now.

I own one pair of shoes and one purse. Could she be the one?

I hope you'll be interested in contacting me! I have tons more to say� ask me about the little scar on my knee.

Eewww, I guess one imperfection is ok.

Well that was her letter to me, anyone care to help me with a letter back to her, I get so nervous when I write emails to girls.

I will keep you posted if I get accepted.

iPod

I bought a new mp3 player the other day. I bought an iPod Shuffle. I bought a purple one. Come to find out, I was the only one at work with a purple iPod. I also liked the Shuffle because I could clip it on the chain that I wear around my neck that holds my ID badge.

I got home the other night and realized I did not have my Shuffle. I remembered I had laid it on my desk because I was eating left over lasagna for lunch and did not want to get sauce on it. When I got back to work the next day, it was not on my desk. I looked everywhere and I could not find it. No one I asked seemed to have seen it. I wish I knew what happened to it.

On my way out of the building heading home, I noticed the janitor had a purple iPod Shuffle. It made me miss mine even more.

Depression is no joking matter

I think my Pops is suffering from a severe case of depression. As I mentioned in my previous post, he wanted me to throw away my $50 gift card to Sears because his job sucked. The following conversation took place this morning before I left for work.

ME: Hey Pops. How’s it going?

POPS: (Sigh) I dread going in to work.

ME: Anything special happening today?

POPS: I really dread going in to work.

ME: Did something bad happen yesterday?

POPS: (another sigh) I dread going in to work. I don’t know how I can face another day.

ME: How come?

POPS: My job sucks.

As you can see, it was a quality moment this morning with me and my Pops. Maybe this evening, I can talk to him some more and find out what is bothering him.

Depression is serious

Depression is a serious matter...


Here is an actual conversation with my old man:



ME:Pops, I won a $50 Gift Card to Sears today. This is awesome

Pops: Bahh, I had a bad day, it's just a stupid gift card, you can't find anything at Sears under $50 bucks.

ME: Maybe I can find something for $50.

Pops: No, just throw out the card. I had a horrible day.

ME: Well if I buy something for a hundred bucks, I save fifty bucks. Right?

Pops: No, you want me to throw that card out for you? I had a terrible day.

ME: I may keep it, you never know what I might find.

Pops: I had an awful day today.

ME: You're probably right, I will just throw it out.

Pops: I had a dreadful day today.



Do you think he is depressed? Someone told me he had a good day a few years ago.
