It's one of those nights

Well, this sucks.
I really want to start getting to bed earlier. With my son here it is just easier if I get up earlier. And to accomplish that I have to go to bed earlier. But there is the issue of Deadwood. Obviously I want to watch it, or I never would have even mentioned it. But I have a problem watching a program that is measured in terms of “cocksuckers per hour” with my 7 year-old. Yes, even I see that as in appropriate.
So the 8PM Deadwood is out, leaving the 11PM showing. So my ass is still awake, waiting.
While I wait I figure I may as well write something. I could try to finish that story, but the last thing I need tight now is to delve heavily in to a very graphic and somewhat twisted sexual encounter. As I am not going to be having sex any time soon, I do not need to be putting that much thought in to the subject.
I also could discuss those ladies who have seemed possible options for future relationships, but those are, thus far, boring stories. Besides, I’d rather not jinx them.
Instead, I think I am going to just discuss my thoughts on some relationship issues that I have seen lately. Specifically, something I have said about people and their friends. See, I believe sincerely that you can tell a lot about someone by their friends. And I have a pretty basic rule. If I were not going to be able to get along with or trust a woman’s friends, then I wouldn’t want to be with her.
I have seen cases where a guy’s girlfriend has friends that he absolutely cannot stand, but he will stick with her and say that she isn’t like them. Here is my question. If these people are so different, why are they such close friends? I mean, if I am a really nice person (something which is, in my case, debatable) why would I want to hang around a bunch of assholes? I suppose it’s possible someone just doesn’t realize when their friends are mean as hell, but in that case they must be either rather inobservant or dumb. In either case I sure as hell don’t think I want to be with that person.
To me it’s pretty basic. Birds of a feather flock together. These people get along specifically because they are the same kind of people. And when you are talking about a group of people I’d say that that is even more true. While I may have single friends that are dissimilar from me, if we are talking about a group all of whom are friends, chances are they are going to be very similar.
Yet I have seen guys (and women, to be fair) who will convince themselves that even though their significant other is part of a group consisting of assholes, the person they are dating is the one member of the group that is not an asshole. I have even heard them say that they just act like an asshole when with their friends, but the real person is a sweetheart. But which one is the act? And do you want to be around them when they are being an asshole? Well, if you are going to spend any time around their friends, you are going to see them “acting” like an asshole. Not to mention the fact that a person of character would either choose to not be around assholes, or would hold assholes accountable for their actions.
On another note, I recently came across another woman who told me all of her friends were guys. That was a warning. A bigger warning was when she said that none of them were friends with each other. In other words, it’s not like this was a group where she just happened to like and trust the guys more than the women. And, even better, she then admitted that these guy friends never liked any of her boyfriends.
Now, I suppose it’s possible that she dated only assholes and these guys were correct in their opinions. But I’d say it’s more likely that we are talking about someone who has several male “friends” who wish to be more than friends. And the longer I live the harder it is for me to believe that these women are just totally blind to the true intent of their male friends. Frankly it is hard for me to believe that they are so blind. Maybe I am just too cynical, but frankly I am calling bullshit.
Say how full of shit I am in the forums.

I love Deadwood too cocksucker, in fact I'm wondering if it was "innappropriate" to buy season one for my mom on DVD. She has never mentioned anything about it. Hmmm.
I think you're onto something with the friends bit..
