So these are just some of the songs that I like. I know what your thinking "Not a great list." Remember this is just a handful. So what do you think? Do you have any favorite songs?

The Cocunut Donut

I know that I really shouldnt quote reality tv shows to prove a point about anything. After all, a lot of reality tv show is crap. But I remember watching a reality tv show recently and I couldnt help but have a certain saying stuck in my head. The show, was called Wicked Single on VH1 and its about single people of Boston as they go out and have fun and live life etc.

I believe it was in the season finale where one of the guys mentioned that his friend might become "The Cocunut Donut." You must be saying what the hell is a "Cocunut Donut?" Well, it was described to me by this person as this. I am, in a way, parphrasing, but I hope you get the point. What it means is that you have all these donuts to choose from, jelly, lemon, cream, boston creme, etc. and people choose these donuts. Then you realize that the people have choosen all these donuts and what's left is the seldom tried "Cocunut Donut." That donut is all alone and the only type that left. Now, this person in "Wicked Single" mentioned the "Cocunut Donut" because he thought his friend would be alone for the rest of his life and he was making that comparsion of being alone to the "Cocunut Donut." Sadly, I feel like a lot of times I am the "Cocunut Donut." Kind of a social outcast or always being alone. I hate the fact that I feel alone but a lot of times I do. And I want to stress that I understand people have jobs, mortgages, lives, etc. It just sometimes I feel like I'm an island to myself.

I also want to stress that I understand that people have problems way more than mine. I wish people didnt have terrible things happen to them but they do. I just feel like that I want more out of life. I just celebrated my 31st birthday and it was pretty much like any other day. I'm tired of being alone. I'm not Channing Tatum or Brad Pitt or anything so I know I wouldnt make the women swoon but I'd still like to have a woman in my life. I dont really care if its dating or just friends. It just would be nice to have someone laugh at my jokes, if I ever make any. I dont regret anybody that has a family or going to start a family. I really dont. But it just seems like there lives are so complete and my isnt, in fact, it never was.

Then, you go on a date and then what? What do you do? I'm not a blind date type of guy. I dont like those awkward situations and to be frank, the girl could be a nut. I mean who wants that? Even if I knew the person and then went on a date, I'd feel like such a fool. I wouldnt know what to say, or do. I know I'm contradicting myself because I dont want to be alone yet dont want to date but I just can't push myself. I'm not that guy. I'm not outspoken and I'm not the "take charge" type of guy to actually go up to a woman and say "would you go out with me?" Thats not me. I dont flirt with women I dont know. I could never do that.

I mean do you have advice? I could really use it. Now, I did see on wikipedia, so take it for what its worth, but there are Cocunut Donuts out there. They have been created. So in closing, maybe in my life instead of liking or associating myself as "The Cocunut Donut" maybe I could associated or like donuts, like jelly or cream, which I actually do like.
