My Blog In the Middle of Your Net

Sometimes when I’m really bored, I sort of monologue in my head about different subjects.   Last night, while I was at work, I had a few of those moments. I decided to jot them down on my phone, send them to my email, and put them up here for you to read.   Here are three things I thought while I was bored at work. The perfect woman for me would be an attractive woman with a personality I don't hate. That much is obvious for almost any straight male. I have one more rule.
