VERY good points! i wasn't gonna do anything on valentines day, but maybe i will go out to a club then, so that they will know that i'm single and wantin to hookup, lol. unless somethin happens with that bouncer that i like, then who knows, maybe i'll do somethin with him (but i think it's too early for all that).

and ya, the girls night out is always fun. but you never know, the girl might just be tellin you she's taken. if a guy comes up to me and my friends that we don't like, we always tell him that we are married and that it's girls night out (which is complete bs). but then usually he says that he won't tell, lol

well i was supposed to see him last night, but he got sick during the day and called in sick at the club. and he called me RIGHT at 10pm to let me know before i even got to the club, and apologized a bunch of times and said he's been waitin to see me for 2 weeks already and is so mad that he got sick. and i know that he didn't make it up, i can tell that he totally likes me too. he actually said that i intimidate him (as a compliment, not as in i'm scary or anything) and that NOBODY intimidates him, so he's all impressed

good for you to not mess with those that are taken! can't say the same for myself tho. and i know that YOU didn't have a problem when it came to ladies and lyin, cuz why would they do that to you?!

BTW - Carly & I forgot about our argument when we drove to Disney World, the next AM.
 

I thought you would have her forgeting that night :p  I agree you shouldnt propose on valentines day that is just so typical. I myself always prefer to be different. I love using the element of surprise. As far as it being a b.s. holiday it is if your single and dont have no one lined up to celebrate the holiday with. Good blog as usuall

Well, ya know that I've been there....

But, it's a catch-22 [when you have somebody, then you sometimes find yourself wishing that you could have some extra money in your pocket].

Man, my pocket gets mutilated in the 50 days between Christmas & Valentine's Day.

Christmas comes, then it's our anniversary, then Carly's birthday, then New Years, & I only get a few weeks before it's Valentine's Day----all the while, I've gotta pay my rent & utilities.

Ok I think V-day is just something that companies made up to sell stuff(lol bitter can you tell)

Valentines Day started in the time of the Roman Empire. Under the rule of Emperor Claudius II Rome was involved in many bloody and unpopular military campaigns. Claudius the Curel, as he was known at the time, was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his millitary leagues. He believed that the reason was that roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome.

This was when a Christian priest named Valentine came to defend love in the empire. Valentine began to secretly marry couples despite the emperors orders. When Emperor Claudius was informed of these ceremonies Valentine was sent to prision where he remained unitl his death on February 14 in the year 270.

damn, you are 30 years old & your longest relationship was only 2 WEEKS before carly came along?! wow, you were a player weren't you?!

i would think it would be sorta romantic to be proposed to on valentines day, but it's just certainly not original at all. why not just make it spontaneous? or if you go on a trip together, do it somewhere that you would remember for the rest of your lives. that way, if it goes sour, you just won't ever have to go to that vacation destination again.

and i mean, if a woman is gonna be THAT shallow to say "where's my gift" after she just got a diamond ring, then if i was the dude, i wouldn't marry her anyways, cuz she is obviously just a golddigger. i mean shit, the guy just shelled out some major cash for that shit, and a girl is gonna have the nerve to want more?! i'd be like "fuck you and your fuckin present!"

i dunno, i'm just not like that AT ALL when it comes to gifts and money, and i can't stand bitches who are like that! i always think "it's the thought that counts". i'd rather have him spend $5 on somethin really really sweet and meaningful that $200 on somethin he just picked up real quick with no thought or time.

and the same thing goes for these bitches who demand from their man/parents that they have huge weddings. like for my wedding (if i ever end up gettin married), if my guy or his family aren't millionaires, i'm gonna want a really cheap ceremony with just friends and fam. i'm not gonna make my parents spend a ton of money on a ceremony and shit, it's just a waste for one day outta your life. like my boss, his daughter's gettin married, and he's spendin about 100grand on that shit. and i'm thinkin like, why don't you just give her that for a down payment on a HOUSE! they live in a condo now! it's just stupid, and is all for show and to boost people's egos, he just wants to show his friends that he has the means of havin this lavish ceremony for them. but shit, i guess i can't complain, since i am invited to the wedding with an open bar

"damn, you are 30 years old & your longest relationship was only 2 WEEKS before carly came along?! wow, you were a player weren't you"?!

I don't consider myself to be a player....    but, I suppose that denial ISN'T just a river in Egypt.

I actually used to get mad, when people would call me a player.  I just expected people to be perfect & flawless in EVERY way [even though it's IMPOSSIBLE for ANYBODY to be this way].

But, I'd always go running back to the women that meant sumthin' to me FOR REAL.

"and i mean, if a woman is gonna be THAT shallow to say "where's my gift" after she just got a diamond ring, then if i was the dude, i wouldn't marry her anyways, cuz she is obviously just a golddigger. i mean shit, the guy just shelled out some major cash for that shit, and a girl is gonna have the nerve to want more?! i'd be like "fuck you and your fuckin present!"

Well, in that case, I'd just have to be a shallow woman....   I often say that I'd NEVER wanna date a female version of myself [& now, you know why].

"i dunno, i'm just not like that AT ALL when it comes to gifts and money, and i can't stand bitches who are like that"!

 LOL - oh, so I'm a BITCH now????

"and the same thing goes for these bitches who demand from their man/parents that they have huge weddings. like for my wedding (if i ever end up gettin married), if my guy or his family aren't millionaires, i'm gonna want a really cheap ceremony with just friends and fam. i'm not gonna make my parents spend a ton of money on a ceremony and shit, it's just a waste for one day outta your life. like my boss, his daughter's gettin married, and he's spendin about 100grand on that shit. and i'm thinkin like, why don't you just give her that for a down payment on a HOUSE! they live in a condo now! it's just stupid, and is all for show and to boost people's egos, he just wants to show his friends that he has the means of havin this lavish ceremony for them".

I agree with you here.  The scary thing is when the couple gets DIVORCED after her parents shelled out all that money.

If I were in their shoes & my daughter got divorced after that, I'd just tell her, "OK honey, you're paying for the next one".

Fuck it, I woulda told her BEFORE the wedding, "You'd better get it right the 1st time around....   b-cuz I can't take another hit like this.  Your mother's expensive enough, as is.  You've got me spending MORE money AFTER you moved outta the damn house & that makes NO SENSE".

ya, you probably would be a bitch if you were a female

i wouldn't think that the girl would have the balls to ask her dad to pay for a SECOND wedding. but some girls do i'm sure, that's why they are BITCHES!!!

I agree with you EM.  I think if a guy is to propose, it should be spontaneous and not on a Holiday.  That's just my preference.  It's so typical for a guy to propose around Christmas, New Year's and Valentine's or, like you said, a birthday.  Hell, if you want to do a Holiday....pick one that no one really celebrates, like President's Day  

Though, I do think there is one Holiday that would be kinda cool to be proposed on and that is the Fourth of July....during the fireworks.  Now that would be sweet.  I don't think I've ever heard someone proposing on that Holiday.  Talk about feeling special, man on one knee while the fireworks are going off above you

For real though, I'm not even too big into Valentine's Day myself.  I mean, I don't care about going out for dinner or getting some expensive present.  A quiet, nice dinner at home and an exchange of V-Day cards will keep me happy.  Then again, I am very easy to please   So, I do think it would be messed up if some woman was proposed to and still expected a gift.  That's straight up BS.  I agree with Ashley on that one....he would have to get rid of her because she's just a GOLDDIGGER! 

"It's so typical for a guy to propose around Christmas, New Year's and Valentine's or, like you said, a birthday"

Again, I've got two 5-letter words....     

B-R-O-K-E and C-H-E-A-P!!!!   Nah, make it three words....  T-R-I-F-E!!!!

I betcha 1/2 those muthafuckaz probably bought the damn ring months beforehand & REALLY did what I said was in their mind [they decided to wait until the holiday came around thinking that they'd be able to getaway with NOT buying her a gift].

"Though, I do think there is one Holiday that would be kinda cool to be proposed on and that is the Fourth of July....during the fireworks.  Now that would be sweet.  I don't think I've ever heard someone proposing on that Holiday.  Talk about feeling special, man on one knee while the fireworks are going off above you"

Actually, that'd be a GREAT idea [especially in D.C. during the fireworks].

You DON'T give presents on July 4th anyway & if you ever brokeup, then it's NOT like you'd STOP getting shitfaced on Independence Day.

"So, I do think it would be messed up if some woman was proposed to and still expected a gift.  That's straight up BS.  I agree with Ashley on that one....he would have to get rid of her because she's just a GOLDDIGGER"!  

Well, now ya know why my profile says that I'm 71% golddigger....   cuz, like I said, if I were a female, then that man would have to come stronger than that.  I guess he'd have to dump me, that night [but, I'd ask for my present AFTER accepting the ring----so that I could pawn the damn thing].

Ha ha!  You are too funny!!!!  I guess you are a GOLDDIGGER   I never looked at from that perspective really, about the guy just being too cheap.  Hmmm....that is something to ponder  

HELL YEAH!  That's what I was thinking when I thought about the 4th.  The fireworks in DC....that would be too perfect.  And you're right, it's not like anyone would stop getting F'ed up on that day if it didn't work out.  More the reason to get messed up

Once again you left me smiling at your rationalizations.  Love the blog and love the Avril Lavigne song.  One of my favorites.

Marion

the first thing that came to mind was , "damn,every holiday AFTER yall breakup will serve as a reminder of being married..n now divorced.NO THANKS!" so i def agree
