Sometimes Imaginations Run Wild

"Eh, what the hack," so I thought.
Blogger would seem to be the best place for me to rant.
I mean, these words would need a channel for me to vent.
And it's not like there's enough traffic here to create a controversy anyways.

"But.. but if I behave that way, then how am I going to marry someone as cool and handsome and kind and strong and clever man as you, Dad!?"

You deserve a husband who's not egoistic and narcissistic and self-centered that he thought his worth is more than yours. You deserve someone who is not as cool nor handsome nor kind nor strong nor clever as me, but sees that you worth so much to him; that he's willing to go to great depths just to meet, or see, or talk with you."
