irreplaceable…or not…

“to the left to the left…” these lyrics (which marked my brief opening into beyonce’s love life) sent the imaginary all women’s spin class i was watching off into full super petal (imaginary because i’ve never actually attended a spin class but that’s where i would like to envision that part of the story taking place…i’m sorry…i’m a dirty old man and this is what we do…and it sounds better than “yesterday while i was riding around looking for krispy kreme hot doughnut signs)…

to this day, the ladies anthem of 2006 still evokes emotions in the hearts of the relationship malcontents…and the crips…because the left side is also the crip side…for some reason, as the chorus began this time, i listened with a renewed sense of intrigue…ladies anthems come and go but i wondered if folks ever really took the time to evaluate how many totally replaceable figures were occupying valuable real estate in their lives…

all fun and games…unless you don’t like fun and games…

This past weekend, I was granted access to a single ladies’ discussion which covered a number of diverse topics. To my surprise, one that caused a little debate amongst the Beyonce disciples was whether or not they enjoyed the company of a guy that plays videogames.

As I’ve stated previously, I don’t trust any male under 40 that has never played videogames. I assume he is a robot sent here from another planet meant to suck the good times out of any group setting with boring distractions and then take our beautiful single ladies back to his planet. It’s just a theory.

The group’s opinions varied from: “He shouldn’t play games as they were made for children”…”He can play them as long as I’m not around”…”I like games and want to play them with him”…in other words, there was no consensus. Now the lack of agreement on a dating topic among a group of single women didn’t surprise me. It was the amount of displeasure expressed towards videogames while, based on the other stories in the discussion, seemingly worse things were tolerated.

grown by the weekend…

there comes a time in every man’s life when he wants to dirty dance with someone other than himself… in order to make that happen you have to make sure you have removed most if not all of the barriers that currently have you stuck “in manual”…let’s assume you’re a late bloomer and are still struggling to garner the attentions of the fairer sex… onetrik poked you in the eyes a few weeks ago with a list of lame dude don’ts so we thought it only fair to hit you with a few easy steps you can take to have your sexual revolution extend past the doors of your mother’s basement…so step number
