In college it was man city. I once passed out with my best friend spooning, and pissed the hell out of the girl trying to sleep with me. I thought it was classic, hell we all did in some homoerotic manly way. Now I look around, single night, no wife around, and there are no dudes to hang out with. Literally, last night I sat at home drinking Rum and Cokes, watching March Madness, and stalking my cat in order to Furminate. Honestly, I would sneak up on her, hold her down, and de-fur our bad little Maine Coon Cat.
Meg got home at 1am and literally all I could talk about was grooming our cat. "Look at all this fur! Oh My God!"
What has happened to me?
What the hell happened to those nights of male camaraderie? Where did the dudes go? Are you telling me that until I have kids I will be spending Mantown with my dog and cat, Jack and Coke? Surely I can't hang out in bars as a married dude. I've tried that, it's weird, And I don't really like it. Just like in the dating world, you generally don't meet your future wife in a bar...meeting reputable guys in a bar who don't already have a manlove? Next to impossible. Should I start going to church? Maybe cool guys hang out there...
Did all the good guys get married, start popping out babies, and reform? Do I have cooties? I have married the hottest woman in the world, surely if I can pull that off, can't I get a Mandate? In five years one bromance fizzled out(his wife was the pits), and I have one budding romance with my buddy JP...but he travels due to work...so it's like a long distance relationship. So, all of my bromances live in either Chicago or North Carolina. I got bros in different area codes (Rest in peace Nate-Dogg).
We talk of moving down to North Carolina almost on the daily and are making strides towards that goal and the little kid in me gets excited that he might get to reunite with his man friends once again...
Until then, and until I find the answer regarding what happened to all the quality brohams, I will continue to sit home, sip cocktails, and chase our cat around as "The Furminator". Yes, I do pretend I'm Arnold Schwarzenegger...
Dude thanks. I didn't have a clue what furminate meant until you used it in context.
ReplyDeleteHere's to man night in NC sometime in the near future. Cheers!
Oh, wow. That's me when Justin's out of town. NO chicks! I gotta drive up to Durham for that. ;) Otherwise I sit around with a bottle of wine and a couple furry mutts going, "yo! where's my girls at?!"
ReplyDeleteSo I KNOW you guys said you're already booked in May, but Justin's got a friend coming into town for his graduation and (hopefully) Dirk and Alaina will be coming down, and I want you to know that you and Meghan are totally invited if you can make it!
Thanks for the invite, when in May?
