Boyfriend Material

Went out on a "date" last night. One thing I realized (I knew this before I went on the date, but this confirmed it) I am in no way at this point in my life boyfriend material. I mean from the outside looking in I may be, young, single, handsome, ambitious (got a job), but I don't feel like having a girlfriend AT ALL at this point. I'm at a very selfish point in my life. I don't feel like asking a woman all about herself, when I don't really care. I don't feel like pretending to be interested in what another person thinks. I don't feel like going to someplace or doing something that I don't really feel like doing to make someone else feel better. I don't feel like trying to impress anyone. I really just feel like doing what I want to do when I want to do it, and am currently very ok with operating that way right now. As for the date:

We went to the movies (to see Precious, which I wanted to see). I bought the tickets and the food at the concession stand (note: I paused after the cashier told me how much the food was to see if she would offer to pay for it. She didn't). She also kept trying to talk to me throughout the movie (which irritates the sh*t outta me). This girl has a habit of talking about herself waaaay too much. Everything can be turned into a story about herself. Granted, I'm not known to be the most forthright with personal information about myself, but at least if I'm going to listen to someone else talk all evening, I would hope that the person is engaging or entertaining on some level. You know one of those people who have the ability to draw you into their story? She's not one of them. After the movie, we went to the gas station where she said, "Pay or pump?" At that moment I realized how much I didn't want to be there. Now being a gentleman, I pumped the gas, but I really didn't want to.

Now understand, my momma raised me right. I know how to be a gentleman and most women who have met me would describe me as such. I just realized last night, how much I secretly enjoyed not having to worry about things like being thoughtful.


Now that I think about it, it may just be that I don't like the girl that I went on a "date" with that much. Because I don't. I'm gonna have to tell her that too before this gets outta hand.

Gay26

People have been asking me what I think about this season of Making the Band and I only have one thing to say; Day26 officially came out of the closet this season. I haven't seen this much open man-love on MTV since Pedro was on The Real World. What's worse, I thought Will was the last guy in the group who could walk into a men's locker room at the local Y and not get awkard stares until he cried too. I'm not mad at Diddy, because he's getting more and more viewers each week with every episode spawning a viral video on youtube. I don't care how many records this group sells its first week, this season has irreparably damaged the reputation of this group. No amount of tattoos can bring back the street cred of this group (if they had any in the first place).

My jury's still out on this reality show to market the album strategy. Brutha ethered themselves last year with their obviously gay member and the lead singer being a 36 yr old alcoholic. Gay26 just threw any possible staying power they might have had out of the window with Rob's audible sobbing on national television.

Wonder why they are now Gay26?
