Man Pretty rule number #1000

Alone I sit in a room, though full of furniture it is empty. She sells sanctuary but right now all I want is a cookie. Who knows where the roads meet and what we will see along the way. Had a psychic today tell me he prays for me though we had never met. Stop rambling Jeff… I wish I could, in the mumbled words that I don’t say the truth finds its way out.

I don’t have height or the ability to not be sarcastic, I don’t know how to spell (which is difficult being an author) and sometimes I pollute and act insecure. Yet somehow in the fog of my imperfections she finds a way to love me. Though I can be irrational and act more like a child than a 28-year-old male she forgives me.

While the ladies are ahhing and the males are getting sick, allow me to present my latest synopsis for life and the way we live it. No one is perfect, something I had to struggle to get. Ladies he is going to let you down and Gentlemen she will do the same. The key to the imaginary door of love is forgiveness and understanding. It’s the ability to see that person for who they are and what they are not.

She walks on water in my world, and snores in the middle of the night. We fight, bicker and call each other names, but in the end she belongs to me and I to her. Don’t stop believing my friends that love can happen. Just know it’s a hell of a lot more work then the movies sell. Life and relationships are nothing but a series of decisions that you make along the way. “You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave” there is no such thing as meant to be just a decision to stay or leave.

The Man Pretty Man knows that relationships can be tough. But when you meet that special someone ups and downs don’t matter so long as you have them by your side.

Man Pretty rule #45 don't end up on cheaters

“Hold me close tiny dancer” is what I sang allowed in a starbucks line as I waited for the hostile take over of caffeine to hit my blood stream. Watched cheaters last night and though I am beginning to question the authenticity of any reality show something hit me. Ready here it comes… if you don’t put the time in they will cheat! If you are not there for them, they will find someone else who will.

Men to often we act like neutered dogs once we get in a serious relationship, replacing the fun and excitement of dating with the stay in and watch TV life style.
So often we fool the ladies we court by trying to present them a life style and romance we have no intention of keeping up. It’s a sort of a show them a good time until they’re hooked and then replace it with staying in to watch a movie followed with predictable sex duping.
In turn the relationship becomes predictable and boring and soon both of you are window-shopping for something to bring back the rush IE your co-worker or newly found friend.

Keep it fresh my friends, this dos not mean breaking your bank account or getting your nipple pierced, unless you’re into that shit. No instead I would suggest making one night a week date night. That’s it pretty simple. Go out and take a cooking class together, learn how to snowboard or just try a new restaurant. Do something that gets you both out of the house and is amusing. All to often we race through life not spending time that counts with our teammate. To often we allow work to be the only conversation, and confuse the three minutes before bed and substantial quality time. Its not, and if you forget about her, sooner or later she will forget about you.

We all have schedules that make the very idea of adding one more thing crippling to our sanity, but trust me it’s a lot easier on the esteem then hiring cheaters!!!

The Man Pretty Man knows that cornerstone of any great relationship is keeping date night alive. Oh yeah and keep the sex fresh!

Man Pretty rule #117 Be bigger then temptation

I ate too many freezies this morning and my stomach hurts. I’m not sure if my headache is from too much sugar or sleeping with my blackberry on my pillow again. I’m going to give it my best shot here but keep in mind… I’m not a very good writer!

I don’t like to sugar-coat things and I like to use the word f*#k. My girlfriend however, reminds me that the f-bomb is for people who don’t have anything else to say, and that a classy man such as myself can do better. So the story continues... Couldn’t write for a week - too much on my mind. However in a coffee shop in a town I have never called home, lyrics from a beetles song brought me back to paper (well, actually a laptop - sometimes facts are not as important as a good story). I don’t remember the song but I’m sure I could whistle the tune. The point? Not really sure there was one, but here I go anyway. Everything in life is a choice. Temptation is everywhere and so to is the opposite which I’m sure sounds like boredom but really it's not.

This goes out to all those guys out there and maybe even the ladies too. If you love someone, really love someone, then love them all the way. None of this half in the boat shit alright. Be there for them when they need you the most, love them as you would want to be loved. I’m not talking about your friend with benefits here or the one you crush on, this one is like an REM song and goes out to the one I love, or the one you love - it's your blog too.

In the cereal aisle of life sometimes it can be distracting and tempting to look at all the different flavours and shiny packages available. Truth is, most of those cereals especially the ones with the most eye catching packaging are high in calories and not very good for you, unless you are just after a good sugar crash. No, what you want and need is something that is part of a complete breakfast and gets your morning or late night snack done right.

The Man Pretty Man knows that you’re the boss applesauce and it is up to you to be faithful and true to your teammate. Love someone all the way and maybe a little bit more!!!
