Note<\/strong>: this is a second<\/strike> third starting of the series… I have posted it and un-posted, posted it and un-posted it again and now I’m posting it for the final time. A woman told me my blog would be more interesting if I posted more stuff about myself so here is some that has been lingering around since Christmas but I never felt really comfortable about posting for real. So here it goes, just steer clear of that un-publish button now.<\/p>\n

L’Entrada<\/h3>\n

One developer, two interesting, beautiful, seemingly single women, unsynchronized holidays, our cool chief and a long-time but still somewhat unknown colleague, an angry grand mother, two unnecessary disturbed parents, an innocent next door neighbor and a beloved car with way to powerful sound equipment. This is a Christmas story like no other.<\/p>\n

It was the Friday evening just before Christmas, during the annual Christmas drink of our shop, that something changed in me. Poetically, a long forgotten fire was rekindled. It has been a long time since I really connected with a woman and the last few times I really did she was either not ready to commit, not available or simply not interested. There were<\/em> women but none of those could live up to my<\/em> dreams so in the end no real relations where forged.<\/p>\n

Now there are two women who are seemingly single. They are both intellectually engaging and I am very curious to find out more about either one of them. There is a small problem though – I know them for, like six months and I haven’t shown any kind of real interest during all that time. I tried to answer polite when one of them spoke to me directly but usually I was happy just to mumble something that might be interpreted as a reasonable answer.<\/p>\n

Strangely enough I never deemed myself worthy for neither one of them but a short while ago we had our annual company party followed by the the Christmas drink a few weeks later; both those events made me a different person. Not only thanks to a little encouragement from the chief and a good colleague but also due to the fact that I was finally able to talk to them like myself – even if it was made possible thanks to some helpful beers.<\/p>\n

Continues with part II<\/a>.<\/p>\n
