Now the switch to the young stupid male demographic in the programming at TCM lately is a real problem.

First Comcast put them up in the highest cost tier out of reach for most Seniors and then TCM starts putting on crap.

Cannot blame the advertisers for TCM because unike PBS there are none.

Well I can't get youtube to work for me right now. I was going to post Coldplay's incredibly sappy "Fix You."

I'm one of those guys. If I ever try to date again, I *must* force myself not to go for the damaged ones. As much as I would love to help them, I'll only wind up getting hurt again.

Just don't be a door mat. The damaged ones can spot that from a mile away.

It's natural for some people to want to help other people. I'm that kind of person. But over the years I've had to temper it with my own self interest. I've actually helped other people in the past to the point my own detriment.

If I ever find someone else, things will be different. They'll have to be. Having been burned, I'm a somewhat more cynical man than the big-eyed dreamer who got his heart smashed into a million pieces by his "one true love".
