Warning...drought in progress.

I’m in a devastating drought.

I’m on the verge of ending the 2005 fiscal dating year in an 0-5 slump. I’m also in danger of having my worst dating year of my life.

Unfortunately, ya’ll know about the two-part series with the HC (the hurricane chick) and ya’ll know about the WWC (wishy-washy chick) and I’ve withheld the names of the other guilty parties (for obvious reasons).

I would say, I’m out of options and I’ve raised the white flags (one in each hand) for 2005.

I started dating in 1997 and as I look back on my fiscal year reports (see Table 1.1). I haven’t done too badly. From 1997 to 2003, I was in college. From 1997-1999, I was single. From 2000-2004, I was in a relationship.

TABLE 1.1
1997 – Average
1998 – Above average
1999 – Above average
2000* - Average
2001^ – Above average
2002 – Above average
2003 – Average
2004~ – Below average
2005 – Below average
2006 - ?

*-I was involved in two relationships one good and one bad, hence the average rating.
^-I began a long term relationship.
~-The long-term relationship ended.

Now, I need to do something to break my slump because I refuse to have three consecutive below average years. Until recently, I thought people that dated online were LOSERS (I still do) but right now I’m in no position to make fun of anyone.

So, I’ve created a few free online profiles (I haven’t hit rock bottom yet to actually pay) on some new black dating sites and I still have old faithful blackplanet.com. I'm hoping to at least break even in 2006.

Stay tuned.
