I'm sick of being rejected, over and over

I realize I say this like every four months, but I can't take it anymore. I'm pretty sure I've given up dating for good.

ATTENTION
Acquiring satellite signal. Please wait.

so all that rain that was supposed to show up this morning just came through, raining out my planned viewing of 'Shaun of the Dead' on HBO. oh well, we got the rain afterall, hopefully cooling off the hellish humid air and giving the lawn a badly needed soaking. and it held off long enough for me to finish watching the Twins game, which they actually WON!! yay! props to Lew-Lew for the game winning hit, a double that evaded Nick Swisher's glove.

Maury Povich is ridiculous horrible


'Today on Maury: paternity tests revealed! Or teenage boot camp. Which one did we do yesterday?'

who even finds this stuff worth watching? personally, I don't understand the draw that this program has on Joe or Jane Q. Public. believe me when I say this: the last worthwhile thing Maury did was hooking up with Connie Chung... the blissful union of two trashy journalists.

hey Maury, Springer wants his show back.

Hi, I'm Ehren. Welcome to my website.

I am a straight-shooter with a heart of gold and balls of steel. I coach a hard-luck peewee hockey team full of working-class misfits. My sweat is considered currency in developing nations. I once appeared nude on a Wheaties box. I operate a greasy-spoon diner on the outskirts of humanity. Also, I'm afraid of clowns and small children.
