FIRST, A PAT ON THE BACK
'Slumdog Millionaire' was a movie that I told everyone I could to go see when it was released. Drew 10 Oscar nominations, as well as the big one, Best Picture. This has not been one of my best movie years, so I don't know about the other contenders. Do know that you will have a great time watching this film, so try to watch it whenever you can.
Will find my way to see 'Gran Torino', 'The Wrestler' and 'Frost-Nixon' next month. Hopefully they will still be out and the snow will have melted down.
GOOD CONVERSATION
Nebraska and I traded emails, and I let her know that I am 'sold' on the idea of moving out there. It was interesting, because we got stuff cleared up, and there is a stronger understanding of what we can expect when I get there on a permanent basis.
I mentioned that whatever 'lumps' in the batter isn't going to affect what happens between us. Everything that needs to be said between us, has pretty much been said. Now it the time for trust and faith.
One of the things I hope that is understood, is that there is no 'competition'. It isn't about me being 'playa, playa' here. Everybody knows how the story goes ... and that is that for that. If anything, I am looking for something outside of myself in finding where I should be.
DOING WHAT'S BEST ...
... and getting what you really want and deserve is sometimes a matter of choosing what you want NOW v. what you want MOST. Most of all, I want happiness and to enjoy someone who is special to me company. Since those kinds of people are rare to have in a lifetime, and I have fumbled away two, I am more than willing to take my chances in heading out west.
It isn't going to be easy. I have committed to sacrifice and a lot of hard work to get there. May be some 'Mission Creep', but I will cross that when I get to it. Not going to give up on my plan at the first sign that it may be difficult or not go the way that I had hoped. Didn't get this far by doing that ...
... besides, this year is still going well. Getting over the 'blahs' and rounding back into form. Want to get an 'Iron Gym' contraption to add to my working out. Not much to say, but the dialogue with Nebraska really put a lot of my concerns at ease.

Hard to believe the snubbed Clint and Gran Torino :o(
So pleased that you and Nebraska have things worked out and there is nothing unsaid or miscontrued. Now, just work the plan.
Excellent news about the conversation with Nebraska! Continue the dialogue....
I remember when you saw "Slumdog Millionaire" and your glowing recommendation...I thought of you when I heard it was nominated for best picture. We haven't seen it yet, but definitely will.
Hugs, Beth
there is a stronger understanding of what we can expect when I get there on a permanent basis.
The above is terrific. I find "expectations," especially when some details are not discussed, can get out of hand and not dovetail at all between couples. No one magically knows what you expect. Lots of people wondering why their relationships never work out are abysmal at communicating. ~Mary
I've heard alot of good things about "slumdog millionaire", unfortunately for me the movie experience has to wait until it comes out in DVD. I truly wish this backwards area I live in would upgrade to the equipment at movie theatres to allow me to go to the movies.
I think it's great you and Nebraska are talking things out. As long as you continue to talk, anything is possible.
If more people took the approach you are, there would be more genuine relationships out there. Your right, to back out because things might be a little hard, is too easy and so many take that road. (Hugs)Indigo
Hi Mark,
Sorry I am a little delayed in responding to your comment.
I didn't mean to make you feel self conscious when I made fun of personals ads in my journal entries. That wasn't my goal.
