ask me how I ended up 44, never married and with no kids

[Dominic]

Since I turn 44 on Friday, I've naturally been ruminating on my life and my choices...wondering how and why I've ended up where I am.

Not that I'm complaining, but I've always wanted to be married and have children, so it's odd it hasn't happened yet.

Here's my life now:

I live in Vegas in a decent house with a pool, with my dog, a cat, and another 2+2er who is renting a room.

I am technically unemployed, as I am not doing any TV/film work at the moment. Instead, I'm paying the bills via NL50 online and live 1/2 and 2/5 NL, while I, yet again, attempt to get a film financed. I've also somehow ended up with virtually no savings or plan for retirement - so I guess I will work until I die.

I was briefly dating a woman my own age up until a month ago, but that petered out...so no relationship at the moment.

I'm thinking of writing a novel...I'm tired of writing screenplays that don't get made into movies. I have two very different novel ideas and wouldn't mind bouncing them off of you guys to see which one is more viable...

I figured it might be interesting (or self-serving, I don't know) to answer questions about my choices in life...plus, let me know how different my life is from yours!

So gogogogogogogo
