It's been 40 days... or All things broken

A sad day yesterday, indeed. Adrian Peterson broke his collar bone in yesterday's football game. Quite possibly the best player in college football is out for the rest of the year. His career at Oklahoma might be over as well. And I got to witness it in person. It was a good ride while it lasted.

A lot of people now will give up on OU for the rest of the season. No doubt that OU is not as good without Peterson, but one man isn't the team. They will have to find a way to move on. I have no doubt that they CAN win the rest of their games. It won't be easy, but I have faith that they can beat anybody in the country.

Okay... that ends my sports rant.

Last Friday I went to Shawnee to attend something called the Blackbox (?). It was filled with people and music. I mainly wanted to go to hang out with some friends I don't get to see much anymore.

And just like old times, I saw couples there with each other. I don't know about you, but it seems like every time you don't have somebody, everybody you know does. Almost like they are showing off their significant other in spite of you. And I was doing well with the fact that I was single. In fact, I was enjoying the single life. I didn't have anybody to answer to. Nobody to worry about. Nobody. And that could also be a reason why being single bothers me. The word 'nobody'. There is nobody to share with.... nobody to enjoy life with.... nobody to go to.... nobody.

I know people always say, just be patient... God will bring you someone. Yeah... I've heard that for years now. But it doesn't help me deal with the loneliness. Everybody deals with loneliness from time to time. This must be my time.

I suppose I feel like I'm playing catch-up with myself. I "expected" to be married by the time I started a career. Failed expectation. I "expected" to at least have a steady girlfriend by age 25. Another failed expectation. Am I expecting too much?

Until next time, vaya con Dios.
