Living la vida loca.

I’ve been single for awhile now; at least this is how I thought of myself. I’ve never really considered myself a bachelor. However, I do believe I have reached bachelordom. The bachelor is an interesting creature. Most are between the ages of 25 and 35. These men have been on their own so long they have adapted to a lifestyle most would find appalling. From eating habits to grooming, there is something most “normals” would find wrong about the bachelor’s lifestyle. I'm sure I'll get a few comments and posts from this post. Also, heads up ladies, the show The Bachelor, completely false.

Last night I came to the realization that I am in fact a bachelor. I was hungry so I decided to go to the store at 10:30 p.m. Now most people don’t go shopping at this time of night. However, everyone should. The variety of people at night is amazing and you never know what you’re going to see. You might see a midget, a pierced lady, a crazy person, even the elusive bearded lady; it is a good bet it will be memorable. Wal-Mart is usually the best place to go if you’re in the mood for a late night exhibition. I was at Smith's.

As I was wondering around I bought a pack of Ho-hos and a Mexican Coke, that’s it. I didn’t buy any vegetables, cleaning products, toiletries, etc.; I bought Ho-hos and Mexican Coke. I imagine I would never do something like this if I was married. It just wouldn’t be done. I’ve seen enough married guys to know what’s up. Even when I’m dating someone I don’t buy stuff like this, often. Women have a great power and ability to train men. The bachelor is a wild animal that has not yet been tamed. I realize that someday some lucky lady will tame me. Until that day I am going to frolic in the woods.

The Ho-hos were delicious, as was the Mexican Coke. I’m not sure eating the hot pickles was a good idea, but they were in the fridge, so I ate them. I finished my Ho-hos, Mexican Coke, and hot pickles while watching some 17 year old girl finish singing some song on American Idol. I hate that show. I slept soundly last night as I was kept company by the serpent women and a leprechaun army. Being a bachelor isn’t all bad. You just have to look at the positives. They’re definitely there.

Limited Time Offer

Life changing product endorsements are rare. However, I’d like to make one; the Sonicare Toothbrush has changed my life. I was tentative that a toothbrush could really be that great. I’d seen the commercials of sound waves destroying the cavity creeps, but I was doubtful. Could it really be? Let me tell you folks, it is 100% the truth. The first time I used it my knees almost gave out. I don’t know if I was overcome by the sudden realization of what I’d been missing, or the vibrations. It was probably the vibrations. It is an amazing piece of equipment. My mom gave me the tooth brush, because she already has an Oral B. What a great lady! However, as you read this mom, remember, no takesy-backsies.

Other than the toothbrush not much else has been going on. I’m still looking for a full-time job and getting ready, as much as possible, for grad school. I went to my Grandma Gwen’s funeral. It was nice, but I’m not a big fan of funerals. The next big advent on the old calendar is a family ski weekend at Brighton . It should be pretty exciting.
