27 Neck-Ties

January 7, 2012

Man, I am not keeping up on my promise that my blogs would be shorter! I will do better and start being short and to the point.

So, I've been a groomsman or a best-man in like 15 weddings, no joke! Have you ever seen the movie about the chick who was a bridemaid or maid of honor in 27 different weddings but can never get married herself called “27 Dresses”? Well, as I lay here in bed I look into my closet where I have all of my ties hanging and I am seriously thinking about writing and starring in a movie called “27 Neck-ties” for all of the ties I have from being in wedding parties.

Now, I'm not complaining, it has been awesome being a partaker of such delicious rehearsal dinners/dinners/reception food on so many different occasions... but seriously that is a lot of stinkin' ties! It kinda made me hate love! You never feel more “I'm sitting her all alone as people are in love all around me so I'm going to be more bitter than a spoonful of salt” (yes, that is an emotion) than when you are at a friend's wedding and they are disgustingly cute together. Haha!

Now I should probably shift the focus of this blog and be more positive, so, what this blog is really about is the cool stuff! The cool thing about so many ties is that each has a story and I've accompanied friends of mine that have been so disgustingly, hopelessly, gag-reflex-inducingly in love and it makes me happy. As I type this my married roommates are in the living room and he is playing the accordion and singing a song from The Lady and the Tramp to his lovely bride... I know! I threw up a little in my mouth too! However, I've known both of them for a while and I love them and I am soooooooo happy for them!

Normally I would hate anything to do with love, mushy stuff or imagining my roommates sitting in the living room looking rather puppyish as they share a plate of spaghetti and they accidentally slurp a noodle that leaves them kissing but for one of the few times in my life I am not single and I'm extremely happy about that fact. This isn't going to be one of those blogs with me being mushy or anything but I just have to say that my girlfriend is kafreakin' awesome! Seriously, that chick is cool and she's not bad on the eyes either...and that's kinda cool for me. I'm sure I'll write a blog about her sometime but it'll have to wait. Anyway, so, for now I'm not feeling lonely... even though she lives in a different solar system.

Those ties aren't mocking me like they usually do... but if they start mocking me again so help me I will use them to test the acidity of my bath-water then laugh as the clown loses again! (If you do not understand that joke then please read the previous blog)
