Stopping To Breathe
Just got home from work and thought I’d throw a post up.
The guy who fixed my mirror is officially out of the picture. I’m almost sure that blogging about a guy guarantees his immediate disappearance from my life, but I’ll keep doing it anyway. Although he was cute, and handy, he had dirty hands. They were also very rough. If I’m gonna get scratched when you touch me, you’d better be a chick with nails- not a guy with callouses. He also had a “white pride” tattoo that bothered me, although he swore it didn’t mean what I thought it meant. Um, ok.
I went out Friday night with my bff and proceeded to replace my blood with beer and Tuaca. I did meet another cute guy though. We hung out that night until the wee hours, we were gonna “hook up”, but didn’t. Thankfully. I saw him again Monday night. Still cute, but I kept getting this flashback of Vanilla Ice every time I looked at him. Although he does not share the weird hair that Mr. Ice did, or the ridiculous clothing, his face is very similar- especially his smile. Anyway, a few other friends showed up at Fave Watering Hole and everything else just kind of runs together. Not sure if I’ll see him again or not. Probably not, since I just mentioned him.
Anyhoo… I think I’ll be hanging out with bff after work tomorrow night. I won’t be taking shots, however, as that has been leaving me with nasty, unspeakable hangovers. Not to mention little missing patches of brain where memories should be. Monday night I thought it was a swell idea to mix every liquor known to man, as long as it had Red Bull in it. I do not recommend that.
I’m off to wash my towels now, as I’ve finally used them all and don’t want to have to shake myself dry like my dogs do. Maybe I’ll meet someone cute again tomorrow night. If I stick to my no-shots rule, perhaps I’ll remember him. Then I’ll blog about him, then I’ll never see him again.
Peace and guys who remind you of has beens.

You’re such a crack up. I love that about you {wink}

Wow, I wish I could write about someone and they’d disappear. I have a couple in mind … LOL!

Is that what you have to do to get rid of a man, blog about him. Hmmm. I wonder if that will work for me. I don’t want him to totally disappear, but I wonder.

I’m sorry Mr. Fix-It didn’t work out! Rough hands - ick. You have our unwavering support in your quest for Mr. Right (Now). It seems to be a neat trick, to write about someone and make them disappear. In NYC, it would just be a phone call to the neighborhood Mafia representative.
I’m looking forward to augmenting my brains with a hard drive, from which I can selectively erase things on command - like memories of Vanilla Ice (shudder).

Yeah, but you wouldn’t want him to have baby-soft little girl hands either would you?
I’ve heard of White Pride before, but there was nothing good about it.

Uh, how else are you supposed to take “White Pride”?
And even if it didn’t mean what he said you *thought* it meant - why would you get a tattoo that makes people think it’s something derogatory/negative in the first place?
He sounds a little…off/odd.

Barbara - I’m glad I could amuse you! I’ve been amusing myself lately. LOL
Nick - Normally, that would be a neat trick, but it seems to be making all the cute ones disappear. At least they needed to disappear. Ha!
Natural - I swear! Every guy I’ve mentioned (except D.) has gone MIA after I’ve mentioned them in a post. Isn’t that weird??
Marvin - Thank you, and everyone, for your support.
At least you’ll get to read some interesting (hopefully) stories before it’s all over. Ha! And sorry about the memories of V.I. HAHAHA
Jeff - No. Baby soft is a little girly. LOL However, super rough and calloused is not sexy either. It kind of hurts. Somewhere in the middle works for me.
Angi - I know, right? White pride has always equaled “racist”, as far as I’ve ever known. I’m glad he’s proud of his heritage and all, but that’s an odd way to express it if you’re intentions aren’t the same as everyone else’s. I mentioned it to my gay boyfriend and he just wrinkled up his face.
I think you’re right about him being “off”… Luckily he’s gone so I won’t have to get into that with him. LOL

That’s been my experience…I lived in Oklahoma for 5 years, and I saw my fair share of “white pride” tattoos, and it ALWAYS meant what I “thought it meant”. Hooray for racist boys being gone!

Marvin’s hard drive idea sounds interesting. I think a great thing would be to add some hardware to your brain that uses microsoft programming. They’d find you twitching on the floor and have to reboot the ‘ole sysyem, and maybe do a defrag. Oh no! Fatal error!
I want a wireless card in my head instead, so I can pick up everyone’s thoughts.

Angi - Yeah, it means what we think it means. He just knew I was Mexican and didn’t want me to stop making out with him. LOL
Tim - If you ran Microsoft software in your brain, you’d always be broken. HA

“white pride” = red flag
I always thought Vanilla Ice was pretty good-looking except for the hair. And the rapping.

JD - Yes, he’s very cute. I met him once in Bakersfield, CA… But he looked all pale, skinny and cracked out. Friends With Benefits looks like a healthy version of him.

Maybe he was just a fan of Clorox. “Make your whites whiter and brights brighter.”
No?
