Absolute total freedom.

You know what I love the most about Madelaine? Besides the fact that shes beautiful, and brilliant? She totally, completely, accepts me for who I am. Now of course, The Blonde One will tell you I'm a terribly mean spirited brigand who exists solely to change people and force them away from their wonderful drug dealer friends and attempts to "change" everyone around me to suit my liking, but that's pretty far from the truth and the people who aren't retarded amongst my friends have long since realized that for what it is, rejected angsty bullshit.

In truth, I'm a loveable geeky socialist intellectual nerd.

A currently un-employed geeky, socialist, intellectual nerd, but one none-the-less.

As I spend more time with Maddie I rediscover facets of myself I've let go, or forced out of my life because of The Blonde One. I'm allowed to be friends with whoever I want, allowed to like whatever I want, and spend my time doing whatever suits my fancy. And since I am who I am, a lot of that fancy is spent online, watching cartoons, and reading comic books. And guess what, Maddie loves me for it. I'm not persecuted for liking Star Wars, or staying up all night reading blogs and Twittering away about my political views and told that it doesn't matter who take the white house, and nor does it matter who Iron Man is fighting this week. ALL OF THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

Of course in retrospect I probably should've extended some of that same brand of acceptance towards The Blonde One. But...complete and total apathy, and drugs are fucking disgusting, and politics aren't. Well. Politics are, but just...in a different way. I don't really in retrospect feel bad about it because in truth, she and I were completely mismatched from the start, sharing a similar taste in music and liking to eat the same kindof pizza hardly make for a sturdy relationship. The kindof relationship I have with Maddie is built on a very mutual respect, and admiration of, and understanding of, if not an enjoyment of one another's passions and hobbies.

Its refreshing and wonderful. Well, Madelaine in general, is refreshing and wonderful.

Tonight for instance, sick as a dog, Madelaine and I watched Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the DNC08. And it was beautiful, the speech, and the fact that I was watching it with someone who actually understood what he was saying, and understood the political machine we were witnessing. Madelaine is a great woman, and I'm lucky to have her.

She loves me for all my geeky-bullshit. :]

For instance, right now I'm watching Revision3's "Internet Superstar", hosted by Martin Sargent.A childhood hero of mine, the man who introduced me to some truly strange and wonderful things, not to mention the dark side of the internet haha. And Digg. I'm now addicted to Digg, and Twitter, and Revision3, and fuck, Social Media. I'm completely and totally addicted to social media. I have an account on just about every web 2.0 social media service, Flickr, Digg, Delicious, Twitter, Rev3, Facebook, Myspace, Pownce, Plurk, EVERYTHING.

Also coming into a huge resurgence in my life, Star Wars. And comic books. While I was with the odious trow, I was discouraged from embracing that which is at the very core of my being, that being, a huge obsession with Comic books and Star Wars. Madelaine bought me a Chewbacca action figure. That, was the moment I knew she was the absolute, one hundred percent, perfect woman. Forgoing all other judgment and previous assessments that pointed to that, I KNEW she was perfect, when she gave me a Vinyl Star Wars action figure. I read comic books and she's not only cool with that, she embraces it, offering to go to Comic-Con with me, and so forth. Helped in no small part by her Aunt Julie who is completely obsessed with old-school comics and is a previous owner of Lone Star Comics. The nerd-dom is back. And better than ever. Haha. I've got free reign to be as geeky, and nerdy as I want, and I get to be that nerdy, with a beautiful girl at my side.

Life is perfect.

Now to get a job.
