Take a Chance




This is the greatest American love story.



Seriously? Scott: Where did you learn to drive?


      Between sleep and awake, where you still remember your dreams is where I was comfortably resting my eyes as a laid on my well worn yet still comfy couch.  When I say worn I mean this was a hand me down of a hand me down of yet another hand me down couch that was bought at a second hand shop. I can only imagine what a C.S.I.'s black light could have found on that couch. If there was ever a unsolved crime that needed DNA evidence to have the case reopened and solved I can almost guarantee they could find it on this old couch form the amount of people that used it. As I laid on this DNA soaked couch and enjoying the fantasies my creative dreams were conjuring I was suddenly awoken by the pounding on my apartment door. "Why? Why can't I get 5 fucking minutes of rest? I just want to be in my dreams a couple of minutes to escape my reality,  for they are a million times better than my real life. How do I know this? Because in my dreams no one is pounding on my God damn door that's how I know!" I muttered to myself as I walked to the door to see who was now off my Christmas list.  I opened the door to see who was there but there was nobody there 'Did I dream someone was pounding on the door, well that sucks' I thought. 
" HEY ASSHOLE!" was yelled from my jackass of a friend Scott as he jumped from just out of my sight to now just inches in front of me. When I say jackass think Kramer from the TV show Seinfeld and Stifler from the American Pie movies had a love child and you would about 50% of the way there. "Hey" I answered back with little enthusiasm. "Aw, don't sound so happy to see me, jeez even when I brought you a gift"    Scott said as he let himself in and plumped his lanky body on the couch.  " I'm sorry I'm just tired, I was just falling into a deep sleep as knocked on the door" I explained.

  I then sat down on the chair that no-one ever wanted to sit on but since numb nuts was scrolled over the couch I was forced to sit on what I can only assumed was some kind of torture chair from World War II and Hitler himself said "now that's just cruel get rid of it" and they tried to send it back to Hell but even the devil himself said "get that piece of shit out of here, I might be the devil but no-one deserves to sit on that." So now I'm the lucky owner of the chair that the devil and Hitler thought was "Evil" and I know what you're thinking "Why even keep it if it's so uncomfortable"?  You obviously don't understand the lack of will power of the super lazy procrastinator. Yep this chair will sit here until I move or die what ever comes first and I fear that the chair will somehow in some way or another be  the cause of my death. Now as I sit in this "chair" and ponder what gift Scott could have possibly gotten me as he's more broke than I.  "So, cock-knocker! Do you want your gift or what? he asked.   Scott's gift for getting to the point was unmatched and I will say ( sarcastically) that he had a incredible gift for speech, his vocabulary was amazing, he was a modern day poet,  a wordsmith if you will. 

"Sure, hit me.  What did you get me? I asked with hesitation. Scott then pulled out a small piece of paper and folded it into the second worse paper airplane I have ever seen and so ungracefully chucked it at me. I picked up and began to unfold his abomination of a paper airplane. Once unfolded, I could see he so thoughtfully had gotten me a coupon,  a frigging coupon.  "It's a coupon" he said with utter joy like the kind of joy  when he had just found a girl drunk enough to let him touch her boob under the shirt. "Yeah it is" I answered back with fake enthusiasm .  "It's a buy one get one free ice cream Motha  Fucka,  free fucking ice cream yo!" he again joyfully explained,  and again I concurred it was indeed a coupon "That's awesome!" I said but as I examined it closer I noticed it also expires today    "You know this expires today? I asked   "Duh! that's why I came over today, so we could get our ice cream on. So get your sorry ass out of that broke ass chair and let's go get some ICEEEE CREAMMM Yo!"  he said with this horrible hood/gang accent. I sat there for a second and thought about what could go wrong because with Scott something always does he's like his own Murphy's Law 'Anything at all can and does happen' and with Scott not for the better.  I couldn't think of what bad could come of getting ice cream, mostly because I was too tired " OK, let's get some ice cream" I answered back with what I'm sure would be delayed regret.

 "Awesome! OK! I want the chocolate vanilla swirl" he stated as though I was doing an ice cream run now.  "Well you're coming with me right!?"  I questioned "I mean it's buy one and get one free and since you said it was a gift for ME....." I tried to explain as I was interrupted "Oh, I don't have any money, so I figured you would get what ever one you wanted and you could use the coupon to get me a chocolate and vanilla swirl" the buffoon explained.  "Ummm.... No! That's not how a gift works! And I'm not driving down by myself to pay for my own ice cream and bring you back one" I tried to say as calm as I could but again interrupted  "Chocolate / vanilla swirl" he again stated to assure me of the frigging flavor and continued to plead his case "You know that I'm broke, and I really, really, really want an ice cream....pleaseeee Eddddy" he said with pitiful impersonation of 'Roger Rabbit' that was even worse than his gang accent.  Having gone down this road before and knowing how the conversation was going to end I decided to give in early. "Fine! Fine, I'll get my ice cream and use the coupon to get your god damn ice cream . " "Chocolate / vanilla swirl" again he had to say it like either I was retarded or he was, I couldn't tell "Yeah,  yes Chocolate Vanilla Jesus! And you are coming I'm not your servant"  I said it, I and only I said those last words  and it was going to be only I who was to blame if anything went wrong.  Because I could have just as easily have gotten the ice cream on my own and known there wouldn't have be any problems but no I'm an idiot.

  "Awesome! So you're driving?" he asked " I guess? " I answered back because I thought I just went over this.  "I call driver seat!"  he stated "Wait! What? You can't call call driver seat like shoot gun!" I then stated  back.  "You can and I did! I get to drive" he said with confidence.  "The hell you are!" I explained with somewhat confidence. "Oh man, come on, I haven't driven in so long, I hate being broke and taking the bus all the time.  Hook a brother up, come on , come on .....come onnnn Commmme Onnnnn!"  he begged. "I know with every bone in my body I will regret this but fine if it will shut you up" I said with the thought that this could be my last day on earth but on a happier note it looks as though  the chair won't have anything to do with my death after all but instead I will die in a horrible car accident.   

Scott jumped up and headed right for the door and turned around  with his hands forming a cup in front of his chest and questioned my sportsmanship with the simple words "toss me the keys."  I grabbed the keys off the coffee table and chucked them at him only to miss his hand cup by a mile and half and put nice key shaped hole in the worlds cheapest dry wall "FUCK!" is all I could conjure. This was not a great start,  this was a sign and it was not going to end well and Scott didn't help the situation any as he stood there laughing hysterically at me.  "Shut up! or you don't get to drive and  we won't get any ice cream for that matter, " He shut up but it took all that he had to hold it in.  

So with a new hole in the wall and $4.57 in my pocket I sat in the passenger seat thinking how many people would show up at my funeral and what they might say? It was hard to complete those thoughts as I sat there holding on for dear life. It wasn't that Scott was a bad driver, in fact he was a very good driver.  I might say a near perfect driver but it was I that wasn't a great passenger and I never felt save as a passenger because I wasn't in control.  Scott, being Scott  he liked to push the car to it's limits  and he liked to practice driving maneuvers that were only seen in the movies and yet somehow not being a trained stuntman he always pulled them off flawlessly. 

As we began to pull into the parking  at a speed in which would cause me to buy new underwear and at and angle I didn't think we could make at those speeds he pulled on the e-brake and the car drifted around  the curb and we lined right up  to the entrance of the lot for the fast food joint that we had the coupon for. We however were still going at a speed that was causing me to second think my religious beliefs.   Scott had somehow decided to use this accupied parking lot as his new stunt driving track he this lap after lap untill he was able to find the last spot in the parking lot he pumped t he gas , shifted hard and pulled the e-brake again and spun us right around and we came to a stop right in the last spot without diying.  It was awesome! It was cool! It was like I was in the 'The Fast and the Furious' don't get me wrong  my balls shriveled up because they were more than a little scared but it was fun!  A shit load of fun. 

 Not being a mind reader I don't beleive it was as much fun for the guy in the another car he almost hit and defently cut off to get the last parking spot.  In fact I'm pretty sure I don't have to be a mind reader to know that guy was pissed.  I could tell simply by the fact that when we got out of the car to go inside the restaurant to get our delicious ice cream the other driver rolled down his window to ask us or more specifically Scott a question. To the  best of my memory,  I believe,  I recall the conversation went a little like this : 

Guy 
"Hey asshole!"  

Scott turned around and pointed to himself

Guy 
"Yeah! You asshole! Where did you learn to drive?" 

Now this is where I, a sensible person would have apologized but Scott was anything but 

Scott
"From your wife, but she was blowing me at the time so I wasn't really paying that much attention." 

This is when I decided that it might be better to just sit back in the car 

Guy 
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY !!!"

Scott 
"I said your wife gives good head but shitty driving lessons" 

Yep, time to get back in the car and maybe, just maybe lock the door 

Guy 
"My wife is dead you son of a bitch" 

This is when the man opened the door to get out and we saw that he must have taken all the steroids that were ever created in the last 10 year , now I didn't say a lot of steroids, I said all of them! Even tough I was in the car with the door locked my ass was puckering so tight with fear if I tried to fart I would explode. 

Scott 
"No shit Sherlock, I was there when it happened, she choked to death on my dick! Just ask the other 8 guys that were there, they saw the whole thing. She did put up a good effort tough. I guess my dick was just too much for her to handle, but what a trooper I tell ya, she didn't even try to tap out or anything." 

This all happen back when you had to buy minutes for your cell phone and I didn't have anymore minutes left but I still needed to make a call, a call to 911  because I think I was having a heart attack. 

Guy 
"I am going to rip you a new one, I will tear you apart." 

As he said this he started to flex with anger and what I thought were large muscles  before when he was just " upset" I was grossly mistaken by this display of  pure testosterone pumping in his veins and his muscles now  3 times the size they were before.  I was going to die getting ice cream, this was my fate. 

Scott 
"Hey that's just what the guys and I did to your wife just before she choked on my cock" 

The guy started to get closer and closer to Scott and Scott just stood there and didn't move and inch.  I was about to watch my friend die by fist in the parking lot.  The guy pulled his arm back with all the the juice pumping in his hulk of a body and just as I was about to witness a man punch a fist through another man's head  a voice cried out, a soft gentle voice of a child. 

Child 
"Dad , daddy can we get ice cream please !!!" 

The guy just stood there standing inches away from Scott with his nostrils flaring like and angry bull ready to charge but then something magical happened  just like the Christmas miracle  in 'How the Grinch stole Christmas' the man turned around and walked back to his car got in and turned  into  a now available parking spot, parked his car and took his daughter in for ice cream. 

And then you could hear what sounded like air escaping from the opening of a tight balloon, it was my ass opening up an letting out a sigh of relief . I turned to Scott who was standing there like a dear in head lights, like a paralyzed idiot and says ...... " I could have taken him" 


 "Seriously? Scott" 

We never got ice cream that day in fact neither one of us have spoken about this until just know.

Why I cry




           There is a saying and it goes as such : "People cry, not because they're weak. It's because they've been strong for too long". I know that people have looked at me as weak or judged me some way or another and believe me I wish I could turn off the overwhelming emotion that causes me to cry. Now it's not like I sit here every night cry to myself but if I have to tell someone that I care about thank-you it's hard for me it's like 'The Fonz' trying to mutter the words "sorry" in 'The Happy Days'.


Not the perfect woman.

       


       I was once accused of not fully committing in my relationship because she thought I was waiting for "The Perfect Woman" which was so not true but on the same note truer words have never been spoken.  I wasn't waiting for the world's most perfect woman, I was looking for the woman that had different qualities than she did.  Just because a person isn't right for your doesn't mean they aren't right for someone else . I love the thought of a soul mate, of the one perfect person in this world for each and everyone of us. Are we not allowed to find our happiness in whom ever that is?  She thought I was always looking for a "10" and that wasn't true. I think if you just ask any man honestly what it is that they truly find beautiful? What they find "Perfect"?, you would be surprised what a man is really looking for or at least what I feel I and most men are  looking for. It's just a person  you can connect with, a person you can laugh with, a person you can tell your fears to  and they won't laugh or judge you, a person that you want to cheer for, a person that when you are  tested they stand by your side and you by theirs.  That, when it is their moment to shine, when they have the spotlight, we don't take it away from them,  that we are happy for them and  we stand behind them in their decision to follow their dreams.

So the lady I would love to live that last of my moments on this planet with isn't a perfect mold of every great woman ever imagined; this super model with a perfect body, the perfect  height for dancing, perfect breasts sculpted by god himself ( though that's not a bad thing either). What I and most men are looking for is  a woman that is happy, happy with her body, happy with her family, happy with most of the choices she's made in life (we need to make some bad choice to learn from)  a person that laughs at my jokes, even if she's the only  person laughing in the room just simply because she get's my sense of humor, that she thinks about me during her day , that she generally cares about my day, that she loves that I might be a little bit geeky about somethings.





I've heard the "opposites attract" saying all the time and I feel this to be true but if you don't have something in common then what do you have? Kind words to each other? That's not enough.  I know that "true love " is something that doesn't come to you but it's something you have to work at but if there was a magic machine that you could punch in the features you think will make you happy that would be awesome, but there isn't one.  We need to look ...and look ....and look some more for the person we want to be with and more so wants to be with us.  I think the reason most people break up is that they settled or worse gave up they just threw in the towel and decided "oh well it was a good run". But what happened? Where did the spark go? Why didn't you try to fix it?  If you  are leaving because you aren't happy; were you not happy at the beginning? Were you just lying to yourself the whole time? These are questions I don't have the answers to,   as we are on our own personal and private journey. But at the beginning of every relationship we think they are the one, that this is the person I was meant to be with and sometimes just sometimes love or in most cases lust gets the better of us and our judgement.  I think most people settle because they have low self-esteem and think "Who could love me"? so the first person who gives them attention must the "right" and  "perfect" one for them and think "if I let them go I might never get another chance at love again" - bullshit !   You have to learn to love you first before you can love anyone else . And for the love of  God don't try to change anyone or "fix" somebody  they are who they are and if they want to change on their own they will. You wouldn't like it if someone tried to change or fix you so just stop thinking you can do it.




But I digress, where was I ? oh yes the perfect woman. If I could make a check list of what I thought was a  " perfect looking -'Weird Science' kind of woman; for me it would be a woman that was 5' 10 with wavy dark hair, a  tanned complexion, she would have a foreign  accent preferably Scottish ,  English or Australian, she would have a beautiful singing voice and and dirty sense of humor that would make a sailor blush. She would love movies all movies not just chick flicks, she would  still have the breasts sculpted by god ( I mean come on sculpted by God is pretty damn cool) she would love music and need to sing along in the car and dance to here favorite songs at home.  She would be a kind and caring person, she would  love to cook , not just for me but because she loves it, she would love to learn and never give up an opportunity to learn. She would believe in me but more importantly she would believe in herself.  This is my fictional perfect woman. Alas the "Weird Science" machine is just fiction and we cant just order the "perfect woman" online ( I know we can order a woman online but I'm sure she would act perfect until her green card came in) So for me I'm not looking for " The Perfect Woman" I'm looking for the half of "The Perfect Woman" where I can be the half  "The Perfect Man" that she is looking for so we can complete each other and live out the rest of our lives being happy. That we now feel "perfect" because we found our better half.   I think we are all looking for the person that lets us bring our walls down so we can be ourselves and live a fun life together and laugh our way to the grave holding hands and not looking back. So again I'm not looking for the perfect woman but the perfect better half ......we all deserve it.

Hey Winter you suck!!!

Dear Winter,
Enough is enough, because of you I am no longer the man I used to be. Today I had to crazy glue a nipple back on that had fell off, let me explain. Every morning I have a nice hot shower just before I leave for work and everyday you have been at least - 15 if not -20 something, so as I walk from the house to the car, still warm from the shower and you still cold from being a shitty season, the sudden temperature change makes my nipples rock hard and today they were so hard my right one broke right off and not having any extra time to fiddle fart around because I would be late for work, I had to improvise and let's just say gluing your own nipple back on isn't as easy as it sounds and now I have an uneven non centered nipple.....thanks you big A-hole.
Also, I'm still one ball short. About a month ago, again walking from the nice warm house to the car I hear that sound that ice make as it suddenly freezes, I didn't think anything of it until my next few steps closer to the car and I could feel something shimming down my pant leg, it just turned out to be one of my nuts which as luck would have it, fell right onto to top of my shoe as I was taking my next step with my nut on top of my shoe it got kicked/ flung to the snow bank near my car. I looked and looked for it with no luck of finding it as I was running late for work again. My only fear is a creature of the wild has now found it and has scratched it up or worse ate it, leaving me now with only 3 balls. So again thanks a lot you dick of a season, thanks for leaving me with an uneven nipple and one ball short. You are off my Christmas card list FOR EVER !!!!!!
Not your friend,
Casey
