A lot has happened lately. My parents came up this past weekend, during which my dad and I watched a lot of sports. It was nice to have someone that could drive me around everywhere and pay for a meal that consisted more of Ramen Noodles or a sweet PB&J sandwich.
…I guess it was ok to have parents around too.
An inside source told me that around the dinner table the other night, my dad actually said, “I wish George was here too.” Which I read at work while someone was standing at my desk, and then almost cried. This whole tough guy image isn’t really standing up at work lately…
Besides missing family in Texas, I am also missing 65 degree weather. There is snow though, I guess it’s a fair trade? Not. Snow cannot make up for the fact that I have to work Christmas day 5pm-10pm.
Anyway… other stuff. I decided to make it required to register to comment on my blog. This way I can regulate assholes easier and avoid deleting 10 spam comments everyday. Plus, I’d like to have all the lovely ladies emails.
Another thing, Romosexual himself made the Pro-bowl. Yet my favorite receiver of ALL. TIME. TO-Owens did not, I’m slightly disappointed, but I guess he deserves it for being an asshole all these years.
I’ve decided that Gilbert Arenas is now my favorite player to watch in the NBA. After watching all of the Suns-Wizards game last night, it’s hard not to enjoy his… “quirkyness”. Plus the man is not afraid to take any shot, even if it is 35 feet from the basket, which he has now made 3 from such a distance this year.
Another of my ex-girlfriends is getting married. I would normally shrug this off, but that fact that our friendship was really strengthened this past summer, and I didn’t even get a wedding invite from her, pisses me off the most. I mean, so what I broke up with her… 4 times. We were still friends, and it was mutual at least… once. I mean, so what I dumped her for one of her best friends when I was 17. She could still call me and tell me she’s getting married to someone who is shorter than her. The same person who she was, and I quote, “Just dating until I move out to Utah.” I mean, this relationship will work out perfectly, being that it’s built on honesty and he can sing a really good male vocal on “Love Shack”.
I think I’ve decided, I’m just going to set up a dating service where I prepare girls for marriage, so they can dump me and find Mr. Right. This has to be the 6th time this happened. I’m not bitter… promise.
All I really want for Christmas is Bonestorm or Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge.

funny you mention that you are the preparation guy for marriage. my last boyfriend (before my husband) used to say the exact thing. oddly i married after him too (as did three other of his girlfriends).
he is now happily married.

You are the only guy I know that talks about marriage. Whatever the form may be, you seem to always have it in mind. Perhaps it’s the Mormon in you that’s begging to be set free…? Begging to marry many women…?
You know what isn’t practiced enough? Polyandry. It’s a great idea, if you think about it. One woman for two or more men… you never have to worry about leaving her as a widow, assuming one of the men just HAS to outlive her. And satisfying her in the sack? Not a problem since you share the burden with at least one other dude.
But I digress. So much so that I’ve forgotten what I meant to say in the first place.
Oh well, it’s always nice to wrap these things up with a quote or a compliment. I’ll go for the quote…
“If you’re a bird, I’m a bird.”
(I have no idea how that relates, but it was the only thing that came to mind.)

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, George.
I kinda know how you feel about the whole marriage thing, you know. I’m losing my bestest friend. It sucks.
well, hope to talk to you soon.

I know what you mean, about you being the guy that girls date before they find the perfect guy. I had a few other friends who thought the same thing. But they’re both married now so girls can no longer date them in hopes of finding Mr. Right soon after

i’ve prepared a couple of young studs for marriage myself. my feeling is that i’m a little too much for them and they know it, so they go out and find the most simple-minded woman they possibly can that will just go along with whatever they say as long as the chicks can put doilies on the dining room table. can’t wait to find the one that can smell what I’m cookin.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas G, I know it sucks being away from family though!
That girl probably didn’t tell you she was getting married, cos if you’d have been there she would have changed her mind and ran down the aisle back to GEORGE!!! (What other reason could there be?!)

That’s quite the comment control program….any who- when it’s cold outside you find people to hang out with inside. I love being at my parent’s house cooking with my family. Actually I end up watching the kids now so the others can cook and then I pitch in on the clean up. Funny how years ago I hated to be home and now I will drive an hour out of my way to see them for an hour or so.

Oh, and I recommend the ball and cup over Bonestorm.

You dumped her for one of her best friends??? That’s the kiss of death with any relationship, my friend. Consider yourself lucky she even talked to you again.

I’m getting married and we aren’t inviting any ex’s to our wedding. Even ex’s that we’re still ‘close friends’ with aren’t invited. Weddings need to be free of tension and having an old flame there would just make things a bit awkward. And maybe she did want to invite you…but remember that her fiance has a voice in who is invited or not
So maybe she was begging to have you invited, you never know.
