The problem with closeted friends…
Published on 2011-11-10 11:48:45
Let me just start by saying that I don’t actually have a problem with gays. They’re fine by me, and I respect them. I’m not homophobic and I don’t say “stay away from me” if you admit you’re gay, ‘cos I understand you’re gay and not an anal rapist. Which reminds me… why do guys [...]
The Fourth Meal
Published on 2011-09-22 04:30:25
There’s breakfast; I like breakfast. I have it a little bit towards late morning, but that’s the way I am. Eggs, bread, maybe bacon, juice or coffee – I wouldn’t call it “the works” but good enough. Sometimes cereal. I’m working, eating my eggs, sipping my coffee, I take a cigarette break and BAM! It’s [...]
New Bros
Published on 2011-09-20 07:58:07
In a surge of ultimate socio-patheticness (sic), I decided that I would let go of all my friends in exchange for new friends. Bros, chums, pals, distant buddies, acquaintances, et al. Now, there’s nothing wrong with my current set of friends, but to paraphrase a classic break-up line, “it’s not them, it’s me”. Yes, I [...]
What’s in a name?

I sat around watching Lion King with my daughter the other day. It was before I discovered they were coming out with a 3D version, otherwise I would’ve waited. Dang that, by the way. Now it will be all fresh in my memory – although I feel the added dimension will only help to tug [...]
Lurking at a lingerie store: An intimate tale
Published on 2011-08-01 03:27:21
No, the title is not an analogy – this story really is about just that. If you’re a straight guy, and have had (or are in) a relationship that goes beyond the one night stand, chances are your female partner has, or will soon enough, take you for a trip to the lingerie store. Oh, [...]
The Monkey and the Grape: A (Sad but) True Story
Published on 2011-06-27 13:31:25
Our minds are different, for each of us. And that mind is more powerful than us, as human beings. If it decides that, for example, blood is blue, then come what may, blood will be blue. And if it decides that, when projecting the image of our own reflections in the mirror, we are beautiful, [...]
I hate you. Please love me.
Published on 2011-05-29 16:32:51
For as far back as I can remember, I have always had the undying need to have people like me. At all times. I’m not one of those that doesn’t care about people’s opinions – I do care. It’s very important to me that people like me. I mean, why wouldn’t they? I’m so amazing. [...]
Of Testy Times
Published on 2011-05-26 17:45:53
Getting hit in the balls – every guy has been through that at least once in their life, if not more. I myself can remember three of mine. And it’s nasty, I tell you; nasty as hell. And that isn’t even the worst bit. What makes the experience all the more unpleasant is your usually [...]
How to lose a guy in one wedding
Published on 2010-11-21 06:10:20
My friend Chunky, who had promised himself bachelorhood for life, has decided to get married. It’s okay, I mean, it’s his promise. But, for the rest of us who’ve already entered this holiest of bonds, Chunky stood as an example of perseverance, will-power and balls-still-attached manhood, somehow. He didn’t “fall” in love. He remained on [...]
