So I have a problem I want you young hip people to tell me if I am handling it ok.
For the first time in nearly two decades, a couple asked me to sing at their wedding. I wouldn't mind doing it except I am kind of awful now that I am getting old and losing my upper register. Used to be able to at least eek out an E without having to go falsetto, now it is dicey anything over a C sharp.
So I told them I stink and maybe they should get someone else and they said four people have already turned them down because they are gay. I don't care about that, I just don't want to humiliate myself in public. I suggested that one of my boys is a good musician and could do it and play guitar, but one bride said that would be embarrassing for her because she had a crush on him in high school, asked him out a few times, and asked him to prom. (No he didn't "turn" her gay, she had a long-term boyfriend after him.) I suggested since both brides are great vocalists that they each do it and just have instrumental music for parts, and they said they will sing, but want songs sung at the beginning and end.
So finally, I told them to give me the music and a few days to prepare, and then listen to me try to sing it, since they seemed to be so insistent. They went for that. They also said if it was too high for me they would just change the key. I think I will still stink and they will be horrified, but not planning on tanking it on purpose. So was that an ok thing to tell them? I don't want them to think it is because they are gay. I also think they should be looking for someone else though. Wedding is in October so coming up fast.

I was going to judge you, then realized hey, I hugged an electric fence when I was like four.
Then thought, yeah, when I was four. You're an adult. So I'm back to judging now.
Alright time to get a little serious for a bit. I'm looking for relationship advice.
The chick I'd been dating for 7 months and I think is The One broke up with me at the end of April texted me yesterday and we met at Chipotle and had a really good time there and afterwards sitting on my tailgate talking. She told me about about how she thought I was the one and that she misses what we had. But she's not sure she wants to be together again right now. She says she can't imagine life without me. But she isn't sure she wants to get back together yet.
Meanwhile during our separation I met a girl who I've hung out with a few times and had fun with.
I pretty much gave my ex an ultimatum. I said either we could get back together or it needed to be over because I couldn't just be a friend and a bystander. As much as I enjoy her company my heart can't take not being with her. She asked how long before I needed an answer and I said as long as it takes for her to give me a yes.
Meanwhile I have this other girl who wants to hang out.
Should I hit the brakes with this new chick? I mean I'm single and all but I don't want to hurt anyone.
I was dealing with being unemployed and was kind of in a downward spiral. She is a very independent woman and has set lofty (yet attainable) goals for herself. I questioned her too much and my lack of confidence towards the end pretty much turned her off. Kind of opposite of the way we began. I think that was pretty much it. But our chemistry is undeniable. She's never been as close to anyone as she has with me. We used to talk a lot about marriage and possibly having kids. She said she's never known anyone to silence her demons like I do. She said she's never had anyone build her up and tell her that her dreams and goals were valid like I did. I think maybe she's scared of losing the independence that she is so used to.
Juvenile eagles have been hanging around where I've been working. It's pretty interesting hearing them "peep" all the time. Never hear them when they fly, but the are quite noisy while perched.

You ought to hear the "feed me" noise that barred owls make...at midnight-dark-thirty...outside the bedroom window...
As long as he's casually dating both to try and figure things out I agree.date em both????
