Very Unexpected!

Ok, so I'm supposed to be all bummed out, right? Nope! Had an interesting twist of the day.

So, around 12:30 or so, I decided to take Titan down to the dog park we have in our building. More of a dog run really. Anyway, as I was coming out, my across the hall neighbor was bringing her dog Charlie out. AWESOME! Another dog for Titan to play with. So we go down to the park and low and behold, there are two other dogs and owners down there as well.One of which was one of my neighbors that we've sort of become passing friends because he too has a pitbull. She's about 10-11 months old and her name is Elle. Titan... LOVES her. LOVE LOVE LOVES her. So he's stoked.

As the dogs are playing, I got to sit with 3 other people that aren't connected to my marriage. Well, he KINDA is because she's met him and his girlfriend several times, but I wouldn't call them one of our "couple friends", if you know what I mean. So we all sat there, and talked as people do when they are in a group setting. It felt really good to just not have to think about the events going on in my life and just "shoot the shit" with some people. The problem I've been having is, I have a lot of people that want to be there for me, but they also want to talk about what is going on. Honestly, I didn't realize that was a problem until today.

Well, after the dogs got to play for about 30-40 min the other two people left, and I was just hanging out with Elle's owner. Her and Titan were just going ape shit, and I got to have good conversation. Well, that escalated to us going over to his place and checking out his animation he's working on, and then over to my place to play some xbox. I can't even explain how awesome it was to just hang out with a guy friend, doing guy shit. Not only that, but also making a passing friendship into one that looks like it's gonna be a good friend. Best part is, he's not some douchebag from a bar or something. Him and his girlfriend are both really awesome people.

So I unexpectedly feel really positive right now. Don't get me wrong, I'm still bummed about this morning, but somehow I was sent a pick-me-up that I wasn't expecting. I really hope situations like this continue to happen, and I'm sure I already know they will.

I think I might make some chili w/ mac n' cheese. Maybe i'll add some bacon or sausage to it. mmmmm, probably bacon.

C'ya!
