Part 1
Do you ever sit down and wonder just why things work the way they do? I don’t mean how your t.v. works or the motion of the stars. Something much more complicated – the human experience. No, haha, I don’t actually *think* that I can even scratch the surface of that topic without writing tomes… which I could do, but isn’t really appropriate or needed here… that being said, a collection of assorted blogs over time could turn into a masterpiece… I will think on that in due time. For now, however, I will land myself on I guess you could say part one of many. Tonight in “Stew’s Humanity Guideâ€? we will take a brief look at dating and relationships… more on this in continued editions.
In relationships and dating there are really two largely popular schools of thought. Regardless of the person, I would say that 96% of Americans belong to either A, let things come as they may and will not look for anything, or B, I make things happen and actively look for something. The other 4% I feel are either not looking for anything, by religious choice and whatnot, or are a combination of the two. From an objective standpoint there are positives and negatives to each side. By and large, realists are usually more like A and idealists are more like B, with the cynics and pessimists taking sides that they identify with more. While I will not being going in extreme depth this edition on the two sides, I will scratch a little past the surface.
A realistic view of dating and relationships is one that treats many people well. One of its strongest positive aspects is that there is no worry about having someone there. Many of the people with this viewpoint are comfortable on their own, and often happy by themselves. No, these aren’t loaners… not usually anyway. These more often than not are successful, intelligent and more independent. Having dates or being in a relationship is not of utmost importance, and as such it is not something that is actively pursued. Not to say that these people are not lovers, wives, husbands, or caring people, but just to note that dating/relationships are not core aspect of their view of a good world. The only noticeable down sides to this view are of course, the realization… realists of course… that there is probably no ‘the one’ and as such can not be happy, and that some hold little value of dating and relationships because its just one day at a time.
The idealists’ view of dating and relationships also treats many well. Its strongest point is the hope…they are idealists after all… that things will work beautifully. Many of the followers of this viewpoint are more reserved… possibly shyness… but more so a general unspoken worry of rejection. While more people on average that are realistic are successful and intelligent, there is no shortness of those same traits in idealism. It’s important to see the biggest difference here is the strong feeling of a want or need to be dating or in a relationship. It’s a compulsion in some, a large distraction in others. Followers of this plan are more likely to either be dependent, needy, clingy, or some other social faux pa. This stems from a grained-in want to have someone by their side. The biggest downsides to this are an emotional rollercoaster of happiness and sadness, and that many will put forth effort in dead end relations to try and save what may have been there and is now no longer.
It is difficult to talk about realism and idealism without also looking at general views of dating and the ‘one.’ Each person has their own view on dating… There are as many views as colors in the spectrum. The big change or development related to this would be that being a gentleman isn’t something that is expected as it used to be. Most important is that sex is no longer a subject hidden away. By saying being a gentleman isn’t something expected I meant that many would find it odd to have a man date a single woman at a time. By date I do not mean relationship. By date I mean two people going out to enjoy each other without an established relationship. Gender roles and sex rules have changed and with it the rules of the game, for those who play. At that same point, you have to play to win. I do not endorse playing games, but my games edition is one to not miss!
The ‘one’ has been women and men’s motivator for eons. The possibility of someone being perfect for you just sitting there is the reason of the large number of discussions over time. Many idealists view that there may be ONE or TWO perfect matches for you in the country and as such tend to disappoint early in relationships.  Many realists do not believe in the ‘one’ and feel that realistically there are X number of people in a given population, by average, that would be great for the individual. Both theories center on the ability to find a partner and differ only in the method…and as such it makes finding someone with the same beliefs more important.
No this guide isn’t finished… but I am… for now. Sweet dreams all.

Ooo.. a long one
Ahh… another fine evening of studying. I like it. Having really good grades is a nice thing…. Ok, all geekiness aside, things are going pretty well. Yes, still sitting here in bed on my laptop… like that would ever change.. HAHA. Oh.. but all in all, I’ve been keeping busy.
School has been occupying quite a lot of my time… more so than I had thought. Not saying that is bad but that it is a little exhausting. Some of the stuff is just neater than shit… and some of it is like… OK? I know all of it has purpose, but really, I could care less about some things that I know will not apply. BUT… this is me we are talking about… I did switch majors 3 times… learning things that don’t apply is my specialty. I would say I am a student of many and master of none… but luckily I am a master of many as well. It’s hard to pick one thing when you are good at quite a few. That is a bad thing sometimes. EE is good enough to keep me going… may have to get that Robotics bachelors as well to keep me from being bored… need something to play with anyhow.
I also did a free writing exercise in my comp class. It’s basically like my essays that I write for myself in my encrypted OneNote files. I like posting here, but to be able to truly let loose with what is going on in my life… and only be visible to me… That is nice… That and I can add pictures, video and sounds to them… like voice memos of my activities and all. Neat shit.
And, I did feel like I helped someone again today. For much less than the cost of a new computer I built one for a customer. I felt bad that so much had gone wrong with his system, but that stuff happens. He had to buy the parts and bring them in, but sometime tomorrow he should be able to pick up a new powerhouse for really cheap. I like seeing people’s faces when I help them. The only thing that gives me a better feeling than when I help people and they really appreciate it is that look you can give your girlfriend/lover. The “I’m happy to be with you look.â€? And not have to say a word. That is what in life is better. That is what I miss most being single. I’ve had fun and I’ve enjoyed life. But not how I have before and not how I want to. It’s a catch 22 for me… balancing the natural wants of wanting someone there regardless and my heart… wanting something more than once or twice and then a disappearing act…  Like I said… it fits a need. Enjoyment is there too. Sometimes I wonder if I am too picky. Sometimes I wonder if I am not picky enough. I’m not out looking for a wife. I’m looking for someone what could change my mind. I’m looking for someone that I can enjoy being with in the little free time I have. A woman that I look forward to getting the free time to see. A woman that I can be happy to just sit and look at. Yes, it sounds sappy, but it’s me and it’s real. I know that two relationships are never the same. I just want something that resembles it. To be able to do nothing but sit, in silence… comfortably… and be happy – not content, but actually happy.
So many people look at being single as this great escapade of wild partying and sex. Yeah, for a lot of people that’s all it is. To each their own. Statistically I will find at least 16 women in Indianapolis that I would be perfectly happy with… the search begins… *wink* In a seriousness, there are a million women here and I’m a pretty decent looking guy… I know my personality is better than most, and my heart is better than near all. Why is it hard for me to find someone? I don’t know… I think being at a school with almost all guys is a large part of it. Where I work there are lots of cute little girls. I know it’s hypocritical of me to say I can’t date them because I work with them. My dad met my mom where he worked. I have a fear of rejection like everyone else. That said… my fear of rejection in a business environment is nil… I can hear no 100 times and not faze me. The fear that does affect me is that I am afraid of making a mistake or failing. I know that I will not fail. In a work environment I fear that I make a mistake. What if the girl I ask has a bf or some other attachment? Other girls they know automatically know that I’m a schmuck through association. Worse than that, what if the girl I talk to ends up being a twit… stop talking to her… now I’m a dick in ALL their eyes. I shouldn’t worry about these things, but I do. I’m romantic, and an idealist… yet there are some cynic and realist attributes in me. Wow… I guess I wrote a bunch. I have been doing that a lot recently. Guess I will have to post more often.

Hmm…
It appears that 3rd party votes say that I’m not a bad looking person at all. I figured I would be above average, but my vote rate is 4.98 out of 5.00. I can dig it!

Yeah… it’s been a minute since I last posted something. I’ve been really busy with work, school, and holiday time.

Concert
Yep… going to see my friend’s band play. They’re really good, and there are a couple other bands playing as well, like Wonderdrug and Broken Stone. It’s also for charity, benefiting the Riley Children’s Hospital. As weird as this may sound… this is also the first time I will have gone out without any friends. I mean Ryan from Wasted Days will be there, but other than him… and he will be playing… I won’t know anyone. Should be interesting to say the least…
