Not a fan of brunch either. I have two free days a week. I’m sure as fuck not going to sit around looking at a menu and paying to have someone toast me some bread and fry my egg. I’m pretty good at that myself. I’d rather be outdoors doing something fun that sitting around trying to look fancy. Sorry, I know I’ll get piled on, but I’m not wasting any free weekend time eating. Fucking, yes. Drinking, yes. Sporting pursuits, yes. Swimming in the ocean or surfing, yes.
So what the fuck is going on with straight guys creating tumblr blogs to reblog photos of guys with beards in those stupid brown work boots? I’m fucking baffled by this trend.
I like to dress nicely, but I sure as fuck don’t reblog other dudes who are far too concerned with having an old tyme haircut and a plaid shirt.
Oh, and I haven’t been to Seaddle in over five years, but it was baaaad even then. I actually created a game to play with my friends while walking around the city. Very simple: you see a person and you try to guess: Cool? Or, homeless?
Three of my best friends live in Seaddle and they have reported on how damn cool its gotten. I love where I live but sadly, our crime rate has dipped just enough that we’re now off the “Don’t go there after dark list.” And guess what? Hipsters have fucking poured in. I don’t like to go out drinking any longer, too many D bags clogging the bars up. It sucks.
I’ve found it increasingly hard to be motivated to do anything on Fridays after a work week. But, I’m pretty content doing things around the house/yard and drinking. I swear that most people go fucking bonkers after a week at work so I don’t really like going out in public.
I like routines, so if my weekends go the same way, I’m pretty happy.
I like my job and enjoy making my family comfortable with my income, but I’d easily move to the beach or the mountains and just pursue my hobbies all day long, every day. I’m a very motivated/energetic person, but I’m not really driven by career achievement.
I have a friend who is an artist and he works as a professor. He recently told me his dream is to move to Mexico, live on the beach, and paint. I could see that being great!
I wear a $12 Casio. I’m just pissed they discontinued the model. I like to dress nicely, but I have zero fucking interest in showing off my money. I’m completely content knowing I have a big fucking bank account and can support my wife and son. I think it’s because I grew up working class and have had a job since I was 12 and my parents worked their asses off. They don’t care about showing off their wealth…now they are both retired and travel constantly and don’t have a care in the world. And have a huge fucking bank account that they earned, not inherited.
I actual marvel at my friends all the time as well. Most of my good pals are hugely successful and make nice salaries but are totally modest. Hell, my friend who is a radiologist drives a Jeep, nothing fancy. Guy makes a fuckload too. And hell, my brother was an investment banker and easily has millions in the bank and the fucker drover a 15 year old Camry to work when he moved out of NYC. Only last year did he cave in and buy the Porsche he wanted. Cash too. I honestly think I’d faint if I saw his bank account. Dude has ZERO debt and makes well into the six figures.
My wife just hit the jackpot. I was in grad school for the majority of our relationship. I have a relatively new job and now, after living on stipends, I make enough that she doesn’t have to work, if she chooses. But, she wants a career and has found a dream job with very flexible hours. We’re both really damn lucky. I LOVE making enough money that she can do whatever the hell she pleases. She deserves it, as she stuck with me through some lean times.
Oh, I’ve also cooked professionally so can make her some darn good food. And, I like a clean house so I clean constantly.
Sorry to be a DB but I play soccer Tuesday evenings so I LOVE Tuesdays. Not only do I get to play around for 1.5 hours, but I get to leave work early to get there AND I get drunk with the lads afterwards. I suggest you work something similar on Tuesdays and you won’t hate them.
Oh, and if you are thinking of having children at some point…sharing a dog with a partner is great prep for that. Nothing is the same as having a kid, but still…having something that you always need to consider is definitely a decent amount of responsibility.
And if you can, try to find a teenager or neighbor who will watch the dog before you actually get a dog, because yes, going out of town can be a pain if you don’t have someone.
My lady went away for a few days the other week. I think it had been over a year since I’d been in the house alone for more than a few minutes. It was incredible.
Please just don’t get a big dog if you live in a tiny apartment in the city. Big dogs need space and need to run off leash. Stay under 40 pounds, please.
Also, how long have you been with your gal? Moving in together can be a tough transition as it is, without a dog. Just something to think about.
And yes, dogs can be expensive. I have a rule with my lady: do not tell me the charge when we go to the vet. One of our dogs also has Addison’s disease. She needs medication and her monthly shot was going to be something insane, like $300 or $400. Thank god her father is a pharmacist and the dog can take the same pills humans take and it costs us $30 a month. Much easier to stomach than the shot charge. And…try having a gal that loves animals. Two dogs, two cats, and a field mouse (cats found it and we raised it!, actually a pretty cool pet and the cats get to “watch t.v.” nightly when the mouse comes out)…the bills add up!
Is it me or do hounds seem to sap their energy by being crazy early in life and then they get really lazy when they’re older?
If you an get a hound that isn’t totally bonkers, they’re usually pretty loving and fun.
The GF decided our pointer needed a pal, so now we have two dogs. The smaller one was billed as a pointer…but she’s definitely more terrier/whippet. So much energy and needs to be the center of attention. She even bullies the bigger dog! The good thing is that she barks when people come onto our front porch, while the pointer doesn’t bark at all…just points.
YES! People definitely need to consider how much time the can/will devote to the dog. I get very pissed off when I see overweight dogs hobbling around. All dogs need daily exercise and a proper diet. I walk mine every morning and every evening, with runs by bike and trips to hiking/walking trails on the weekends. Nothing worse than someone getting a dog because it’s cute and then not taking good care of it.
Also…people who live in tiny apartments in huge urban concrete areas and get a HUGE dog deserve to be turned into dog food. Big dogs need space. If you choose to live in a city, get a small dog.
Oh…and dog doors are a great option. GF used to be home daily for lunch and let them out. She took a new job…we have a 1 acre fenced in yard and the dog door allows them to go out as often as they need. Our one dog has Addison’s disease, so she drinks a lot of water and needs to pee frequently.
Yep, I just can’t fathom not liking dogs. I’ve had pets my entire life, so I find it weird when people are averse to dogs. Always makes me think of babies…look, I don’t love your baby, but I’ll pretend I do to not offend you. You should do the same with my dog…don’t pull back in fear when my dogs come up to say hello.
I simply can’t relate to people who don’t like dogs. It’s like something went wrong in their past. I also think owning a dog is GREAT for teaching kids to be responsible, loving, and caring. Team sports and owning a dog – two things my children will partake in, as I think they both teach great life lessons.
One of the worst parts of college was having to move 2-3 times a year. I hated that. One of the best parts of post-grad…owning a house and never having to move again!
I’ve always loved going out solo. In college I did it because I hated waiting around for a group of dudes to all finally get ready. I don’t mind going to the bar alone. It often leads to conversations with new people. Or, you can just get drunk solo…
I play soccer after works on Tuesdays. Short work day because I have to leave early to get there AND we go out drinking afterwards. Get yerself a reason to love Tuesdays.
And not sure where you’re at, but there are TONS of Staffordshire terriers (see: pit bulls) where I’m at. They’re incredible dogs, don’t discount them as aggressive. They’re not. Owners purposefully make them aggressive. We had one and it was a great dog, very smart, very loyal.
We have a terrier/whippet mix and a English pointer. Terriers are BUSY and smart as hell. Ours is 29 pounds and must be involved in everything. The pointer is 48 pounds and couldn’t be calmer, sweeter, or more loving.
Adopting pets is really awesome. Every day you walk them and play with them is a day they wouldn’t have had. We have dogs and cats, they all get along. Dogs are great, but cats are fun too. Though I live in the central city, we’re lucky and have a 1 acre yard. We’ve put in a dog/cat door which is great. Plus, I’m right near a university and there are great places to run the dogs.
If you are thinking about a dog I’d consider how much you want to exercise/deal with them. Our pointer is calm and cool, the terrier is a busy body. They both get dual walks each day. Oh…and food. Food can get expensive with big dogs. Maybe not with one, but we have five pets…so five to feed and take to the vet. I tell my GF…don’t tell me the bill when we go to the vet.

This is one thing to like about that guy!

Rochester? No fucking way. Really? Been a few years since I’ve been and my sister lives there and she’s in no way a dipster.
The bitterly cold winters in western NY are proven to kill hipsters before the grow.

Ha, I wrote a paper during my Master’s degree work on the MK-Ultra program. A bunch of fucking fun to research that paper!
How about women wearing huge, guady oversized watches? Instantly put them in the unfuckable category for me!
