Attraction is such a bizzare thing, no? I met this guy back in the summer and while I was trying to be “good” and “save myself” for Mike’s return to Toronto (which now is as distant as a Mars lander to some hippie scientist bent over his keyboard hammering out instructions, trying to get his robot to work), I met this guy. Lets call him Sharkboy. Sharkboy is stunningly handsome. The kind of handsome that makes you realize there are more leagues higher than yours, that you are not a part of and probably never will be. Sharkboy is charming: replete with a Quebecois accent that adds character and colour to his speech. And Sharkboy showed me an ounce of interest. We originally met for sex over the internet…<\/p>\n

Oh god will you please stop laughing at me?<\/p>\n

…and the day he walked through my front door I thought “Holy crap, I am not his type!” Then I thought, “Holy crap! He has an amazing body!” True, because he keeps active unlike me who spends his free time sucking radioactivity as nourishment from a monitor. After we finished our internet date (this aint no porn site), I was actually kind of relieved he was leaving and that I would never have to see him again. I honestly thought I was a charity fuck for him. Turns out Sharkboy likes the hairy balding guys with a gut. How odd.<\/p>\n

I dont remember when the repeat romp was. Sharkboy tried a couple times to get more but I blocked him off. I thought that if I repeated sex with someone I was officially cheating on Mike. Meanwhile, Mike and I were going nowhere. Neither one of us were making moves to relocate to either one’s home city. Or find a good job, for that matter, but the emotion was still there. Yet Sharkboy still swum around me like my ankle was bleeding. There were moments where I could actually feel my feelings transfer over from Mike to Sharkboy. Call it sublimation, call it troo luv, call it wrong (believe me I wrestled with guilt – Im Irish Italian Catholic) but it happened. On a cold November day, driving back from a parade I was helping Sharkboy perform in, he fell asleep on my arm. Bam. Hooked.<\/p>\n

Mike. What to do. I still had feelings for him but they had definetly cooled since his departure. I hope I let him down easy. I still consider him part of my family and would walk through fire for him, but I couldnt wait for him any longer. I wish him to be happy. I want him to marry into my family. I still want him around. I know that he will make someone extremely happy as he did for me (still does! …um…but not that way, now, you know?).<\/p>\n

So now Im swimming with Sharks. And lovin’ it. Bada bap bah bah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
