Damn good stuff here. I honestly never thought about the relationship between my parents being laid back and me keeping my shit together/knowing my limits post high school. Looking back I’m 100% glad they did everything they did (except daycare that one summer when I was younger, that place was hell on earth and I hope it’s burned to the ground).
My most recent bachelor party experience was back in May at the Kentucky Derby. We wanted to change it up a bit from Vegas a few years beforehand when another friend was getting married, and Louisville was a hell of a time. Highly recommend it.
Hopefully I’m not to only one, but I feel like I’m in the awkward stage of still “having it”, but not more than one night a week. One more thing I could add to this for recent grads reading, is try not to get into a new relationship as soon as you move into a new city (if you are already dating someone from college that’s different). I did that because I thought it was time to “grow up” and that I’d already “had my fun in college”. Long story short I ended up missing out on a lot of good times/trips with friends. Instead I spent(wasted) my money on my then girlfriend and trying to impress her friends/family. DON’T BE ME.
This peice definitely hit close to home for me. I actually turned 26 a few weeks ago and I couldn’t help but think how shitty 25 was. I knew when I got dumped 4 days before my 25th bday it was gonna suck. Cheers to 26!!
My favorite is when my dad texts me and it always starts with “Hey Scott its dad”. As if I’ve never saved his number in the 10+ years I’ve had a cell phone.
This definitely hit home for me. Parents have been divorced since I was 6 and it still impacts me. My dad said the same thing in regards to why he got married. About two years ago I had 4 friends get married in the span of 3 months, I was talking to my dad about my weekend on a Monday right after one of the weddings and he said “Well don’t do what I did and just get married because all of your friends are”. Idiotic indeed.
Please tell me this review for the HDMI cable is yours….
“But after thinking long and hard, I decided to go for it. I was going to use that cash to get an engagement ring, but cables like these only come around once in a lifetime. I can always find another girl right?”
This is also the same type of guy that when asked what type of liquor he wants, he boarder line screams some top shelf brand so everyone knows he’s getting an expensive drink.
I sleep with a minimum of two fans on. I always have a small one on my nightstand going at all times and then I’ll turn on the ceiling fan before I go to bed. For me it’s partially to keep cool, but it’s also the soothing sound, I can’t sleep in dead silence.
I can proudly say I’ve been following the chase since the first column about “Allison”. It’s been a hell of a ride and I hope it keeps going here in Texas as it’s all I have to look forward to on Tuesdays.
As far as the ex, I’ve 100% been there before, and within the past year actually. It’ll just take some time to realize why it never worked in the first place and you’ll let go. Definitely isn’t easy though.
Haha, as Joe Dirt would say. “Why’s a tree good? Why’s a sunset good? Why’s boobs good? Firecrackers man, put em in mailboxes, shove em up a bull frogs ass”
Good stuff here. Another word of advice that helped me, is to try out new bars in new areas of your city that you and your former significant other never went to. Now I’m in Dallas and this was easy, so being in NOLA I’m willing to bet there are plenty of those as well, or actually probably a lot more options. Getting some new scenery in your sights always helps. Good luck out there.

…Definitely made the banking mistake yesterday. It was awful.

“A meal of food” idk why but this made me chuckle.

I don’t even know if you can get a house in Highland park for $750k? Sad world we live in.

I recently discovered sprouts myself. Game changer.

I’ve never read a series of columns so directly related to my life. So spot on.
