I’m just a regular Joe
With a regular Job
I’m your average white suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and books about war
I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor
My wife and my job my kids and my car
My feet on my table and a Cuban cigar

This year I’ve had way too much self-pity. It isn’t justified. I don’t think there’s anyone that wouldn’t have experienced loneliness after getting out of a long term relationship similar to mine. Even my toughest moments of this year weren’t that bad. Sadness tinged with sweetness.. like an Al Green album. My bottoms tend not to be that deep. I am an optimist at heart. Spacey. Happy. Thoughtful. Nervous.

If I step out of myself and look in, I would think, “He looks happy. He’s single, but seems to have a lot of fun dating.

My life is good. It’s always been good.
