So, as you might recall, perhaps in horror, I recently did post about the good possibility, nah, the near sure probability of ruining any chance with the new girl.

Good news everyone!

I was so “gone” on NYE that I actually had no clue what said girl spoke to me at the end of the night that caused my blow out. Well it was nothing serious. I was just way to dramatic and completely too serious about the whole thing and relationship, if you can call it that.

Girl and I have decided to continue to casually date. Huzzah!

What have I learned from all of this craziness? Play it cool man, like The Fonz. There is no damn need to be all crazy dramatic. There is no need to be so serious this early in the game. Just play it out and be the cool guy. I’ve learned not to call very often right away. To let the girls call me. Well, this one must like me pretty well in order to continue casually dating after the NYE night ending fiasco.

Of course keeping busy also helps. Now I have classes once again and I’m still working the same. Starting my new Picture A Day project also helps immensely. It gives me something to look forward to every day, helps my photography skills, helps me to feel productive, and helps me feel more connected to the world. You can read about it, check out the Flickr feed, or view the postings directly on my blog; Be sure to leave me any thoughts or comments. It was a good project to start, and I’m sure that it wasn’t a coincidence. Thanks to two great friends for helping me through the toughness and really speaking clearly to me, even though they slept on my sofa bed NYE without a proper blanket!

So, Who’s cool and has two thumbs?
This guy!
