So, guess what we did tonight?
Well it started by getting drunk. That can be a great start for several things. In this case, it just led the way to where we were already going.
What did we drink? Let's see…a six pack a piece…how many 1800 margaritas? I dunno, but we'll qualify them as "a lot." I guess that's one more bottle of liquor we won't have to split in the divorce. I think the triple sec is shot too. Hang on I'll go check.

Yup, It's gone.
After that, well, we talked about our divorce. We decided we weren't as far from an understanding as I had thought. I told her how I felt, and I explained how I thought she felt. She said "Yeah," and she didn't mention what she thought of me. Then again, I haven't been real hidden with my emotions, and she hasn't been too hidden with her lack of love.
That was our evening. What else? Well…oh yeah, we filled out the paperwork for a divorce.
Yup. Did the http://www.completecase.com paperwork. Which , by the way is quite easy. I'm not recommending it for all occasions (for weddings and bar mitzvahs
it's pretty much a downer.) but it was appropriate for our drunken evening. I recommend a nice Zinfandel, it's strong, but otherwise, outweighs the bitterness.
We have more to do, but filing at 1am is pretty taxing. No wait, that's the other forms…
It's funny, cuz earlier today she gave me a list of music she wanted from my collection. Why is it funny? I have no idea. I've been drinking, everything is funny. What does she want? Well I'll tell ya,

There were more on her list, and yet I listed too many. Forgive me, it was cathartic typing. MyWife is leaving me. In our drunken conversation we concluded that as easily as we concluded our marriage. Also, we concluded a statistic I wasn't aware of until recently. Apparently guys relate sex with love more than women. That's right. She said we'd still be having sex if it weren't for the fact that it meant something more to me. You know what? She's not the first woman I've heard this from. I had no idea! Is this true? I mean, yes, in my case, that's how it really is. MyWife was right. It's just interesting, that from what I've heard, in marriage, more guys associate sex with love than women. Feel free to dispute this, I'm really curious!
Sorry. I'm short on words. Call it alcohol, call it dancing with the death of my marriage, call it whatever you want, I'm too tired, too done, too…yeah just too.. Whatever you call it, I'm cutting it short. I'm outta here. I'm gonna go and..I dunno. Something that requires no thought but allows complete catharsis. Any Ideas?

That Dire Straits song is one of my favorite breakup songs. There were times in my life when I'd listen to it over and over again. This is the part that always gets to me:
...I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All do is keep the beat and bad company
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time
Yeah, it's a powerful lyric. It's always been one of my favorite songs too. And the Live Alchemy version is my favorite recording. Something about the live mix brings out all the raw passion.
