I do not want to fix someone. I’m too busy working on myself. I wouldn’t want to date someone who isn’t doing the same, who doesn’t see the value in growth. I’m not here to hold someone’s hand while they learn how to grow up. I’m not a pre-school teacher; I’m not a therapist. A man is not an art project to be cut up into little pieces and glued back together. You’re your own fixer-upper, honey; do with that what you will.
I don’t want to date someone indifferent to themselves or to me. Is it an oddity that I don’t want to be treated like crap? I do not have time to hopelessly await someone’s phone call; I do not have time to place heaps of unwarranted blame on myself when someone or something seemingly ‘disappears.’ I don’t have the time to jump through hoops to prove that I am worthy of someone’s affections, and even if I did have the time? That’s not how I would spend it.
Which is why, when given the choice, I want to date a Good Guy. I want someone who is a real, flawed human being – someone who, despite those flaws, makes the conscious, ongoing effort to act benevolently toward the people around him. Someone who is capable of letting go of whatever Grave Injustices were done to him, who doesn’t blame the world for his misfortunes. Someone who respects himself, who wants to be with someone who will treat him the way he deserves to be treated. Someone who is nice but not a doormat, someone who is confident but not an asshole.
So, to the ladies who want assholes, keep them. I’ll take the sane, emotionally stable man any day.

Researchers right here in Buffalo have stumbled upon a vaccine to cancer.
CNN reports that researchers in New York have discovered a possible vaccine, and it happened by accident.
Researchers at Roswell Park Cancer Institute have created a vaccine designed to kill cancer cells in the body, and prevent them from coming back … launching a new clinical trial that will harness the power of the immune system to fight cancer.
The vaccine, produced in a special chamber at Roswell that strictly controls temperature and atmospheric gases, will use a special protein that will recruit an army of killer immune cells that seek out and destroy cancer.
What is truly remarkable about this discovery, is that the vaccine is designed to train the body’s defenses to never forget how to kill cancer cells.
Roswell Park Immunologist Dr. Protul Shrikant discovered that a drug called Rapamycin, used for many years to prevent rejection of organ transplants, also produces immune cells that, in a sense, have memory, always remembering that cancer cells are bad, and should be attacked and killed.
He said the discovery was quite accidental.
“It is kind of serendipitous because we just tested this concept that came from nowhere in a laboratory setting, and it did work. It’s hard to imagine,” says Dr. Shrikant tells CNN.
Eighteen to twenty patients fighting many different forms of cancer will be chosen for the first phase of clinical trials.
Nancy Holiman, a fund raiser at Roswell Park, who has fought three types of cancer, most recently of the breast, hopes she will be among them. She wants the potential protection the vaccine offers.
“To know that you have something in your system and have this memory and be there long term, I think would just give you, just another - help you with your peace of mind,” says Holiman.
If the first phase of clinical trials is successful, larger studies will be conducted.
It may be several years before the vaccine could be marketed, if it’s proven to be a cancer fighter for the life of the patient.
To make a huge step in cancer treatment is an amazing feat for everyone but to have it started here in Buffalo is just remarkable.
This really is such an exciting discovery.
