Old-Man Crush = Spirit-Lifter

So I had a depressing weekend for reasons I won't go into here -- just a profound sadness that kicked in Friday night and lingered all weekend until I forced myself out, on the advice of a dear friend, and went to a SuperBowl party with one of my suitors (the 50something one).

I must say, I don't pay any attention to football, but that was quite a game. That long pass from Eli Manning that was caught by that other guy while he was practically horizontal that ended up leading to the touchdown that won the game -- exciting!

But my 50something suitor blows hot and cold on me for reasons I entirely understand, since I blow pretty much entirely cold on him.

So I return home, mood slightly elevated but not significantly so. Wake up this morning feeling fairly forlorn. Notice I have messages, and start listening to them. And there is the funniest message ever, left last night while I was out, by my old-man crush. I must have listened to it 10 times, laughing harder each time, and will save it forever in my archives because it so sums up exactly what it is that I adore about him -- witty, clever, giggly and silly. The message also contained a surprise ending that would make the most humourless among us howl with laughter.

A great sense of humour has always been the biggest turn-on for me, and my old-man crush has really been blessed in that department.

In one message, my old-man crush really raised my spirits. I am really crushing on my old-man crush!

Snore. Less happening here than at Toronto Scrum. Snore some more.

Can the message be censored for a public audience so we too can enjoy the wit and humour?

Hey, Anonymous ... here's a tip. Don't come here!

GT: I will transcribe it and e-mail it to you.

I never understand the mentality of morons who take the time to come to a blog, read it and then leave a comment to say how shitty it is.

Why wouldn't you just move along and head on over to another blog?

Tanya wrote that for you didn't she? Crush crush.

I am personally fascinated by this dynamic. Younger woman, seemingly financially independent, sweet on man old enough to be her father for reasons that don't sound creepy or weird at all ... they've just made some sort of sweet and almost old-fashioned connection. It is quite lovely.

I want to hear more about the old-man crush. Keep it coming! And yes, can we hear what the message was?

Gosh, if I had the power to make people giddy with my love-crushing, I'd be sprinkling it around to everyone...Dale, I wish I could take credit for cheering up Ms. Jacy. Well, maybe I should take the credit anyway...who's gonna stop me?

Jacy, you're welcome! hah!

Jacy, but what if he dies in five years? Haven't you had enough loss, pain and heartache?

Something to consider.

Tanya Espanya said...

Anonymous, what if he dies in 5 weeks, nevermind 5 years.

What if my husband dies in 5 years, should I just give up now?

I think Jacy should enjoy her crush now, in this moment, and not worry about the future.

Heck, we should all live in the moment, no?

Today is pancake Tuesday, so I'm going to heat up a frozen pizza...it's round and flat, does that count?
