This is my first post. Does anyone really read these things?

Okay, so I've never written a blog before.  In fact, I kinda, sorta made fun of bloggers in the past, because of this demotivational poster I saw on www.despair.com:
I can honestly say that I expect this poster to be completely true in my case, because why the hell would anyone care what I have to say...  I mean, who am I?  I don't have anything too terribly important to say, and I'm certainly not smart enough to come up with amazing insights or poignant prose.

Well, whatever.  I've been told about five different times by five separate people in the past couple of months that I should start a blog about how depressed and lonely I am, so I'm going to give it a shot.  I can't imagine anyone cares, although I'm sure there are plenty of people who can relate.

Why am I depressed?  Because I'm alone.  Because I'm starting to feel like I'm always going to be alone.  I have a really hard time meeting women, an even harder time asking them out, and a still harder time getting them to say yes.  I've been married, but I knew I didn't want to marry her, and I found out later that she never loved me; she just was afraid of not meeting anyone else, too.  She and I parted on good terms, we're still friends, and we had a daughter when we were together, so I get to see her a lot.  But I don't really fit in with them, and I never really fit in with my own family either.  At least, I never felt like I fit in.  They said I did, but isn't that what anyone would say?

Anyway, I have more to say, but not enough time right now.  I have to sleep, because I hold two jobs, and I never have enough time to sleep, so I will cut this short.  I'll try to write a new post in a few days.  Feel free to share your thoughts or comments.  Sorry if I rambled a bit on this post, but it's my first, so I'm still learning.
