Online Dating

....Itsa bear. Artist: Nomiya

Lately I've been having troubles sleeping. And inevitably this has made lots of time for me to rethink things and wonder if it really is too late for me now. I glance at the clock before checking the kids' bedrooms to see if they're fully asleep. It's 1AM right now, what should I do? After a long day of work along with taking care of these three hyperactive children I should try to get some rest... Is what I'd like to think, but before I knew it I had turned to the computer to look for some, er, love I guess. This online dating thing has been making the news lately and since I have so much time it doesn't seem like half a bad idea. Hm.., Done basic registration, now for a biography and a picture. From looking at myself in the mirror, I don't seem that old for 35 at all! Aside from the dark eye circles that came with my lack of sleep, I had that wild unkempt facial hair that the ladies loved. My hair didn't seem all that thin from this angle either. I sighed as I shook my head. The more I think about this the more I feel like an old man. I mean, what are all these young people doing on these dating sites? They aren't the ones with kids or full-time jobs or even the lingering thought that divorce wasn't the only choice. Ah well, now isn't the time for complaining. First I should be looking for a picture. I searched in various drawers and odd compartments before I found a small 3" by 2" photo booth picture I took a few years back. It's a little old but I don't have a camera at the moment so it should be fine. I haven't aged that drastically anyways. I proceeded to scan the picture while I went on with the biography. "35 years old, 2 years divorced, single father with 3 children." Ahh, how could I make any of this sound more convincing or romantic?!
"WIEAHAEEEEAAAAAAAAA!!" A high-pitched scream echoed behind me. Was she having nightmares again? I ran at a speed that my kids would only compare to a superhero's, but by the time I made it to her room she was back to sleeping soundly. False alarm perhaps? Seeing that peaceful face was so reassuring. At times like these I wonder why there are people desiring wealth and power when something as simple as this can be so relieving. Maybe I'm better off like this for now. After all, this kind of love is fine too.


3 DAYS UNTIL SCHOOL

Ahhhhhhhhhhh I'm so tired. Back story to this: Daphne asked me for a topic to write and I said "35 year old divorced man with 3 kids lookin' for love". While she didn't use my BRILLIANT IDEA I decided to write in his POV.. Not sure if this is any good but it was interesting to write and I have nothing else to say for today so yeah, if you read it I'm glad you enjoyed it (hopefully..) and have a nice day.

On a weirder end-note..
Hm? Nothing wrong here... SHALL WE ENHANCE?!?.. *ENHANCE*!
...I have no idea when I wrote this nor the memory of writing it, but it is clearly my writing and something I would do. I noticed this while I was standing on my bed (walking around while I am on the phone). My reaction when I found it: O_o?????

Goodnight, World!
