I have seen my future, and it is GAR

Went to a "Barbeque" yesterday, at the house of a former co-worker (who is married to a sorority sister of the gf) Watched Alabama football. Which is like watching Georgia football, minus the personal emotional investement.
Played "North Dakota Retard Ball (which is kind like horseshoes, but its made by retards in North Dakota) drank beer, ate some food. The girls talked about kids and shopping. These Z-grades were smoking cigars and talking about the different wraps/islands/sizes. At one point, I jokingly asked "Wow man, is that Fescue," and these asshats were too daft to even understand I was mocking them. NO MUSIC WAS PLAYED AT ALL.

Then got in an argument with the gf when I told her that if this was what our lives would be like now that she has moved to Montgomery, remind me to kill myself (or something along those lines, I was drunk, natch )

I mean, the white bag, the constant hangovers, and piecing together your night after blackouts seemed to be getting old, and now it looks like I'm stuck with this. Is there anything in between?

no, life is misery and soon it will be over.

yes, there is a middle....im looking for it.

I mean, I guess the middle is gonna be things like The Stones show and shit like that. I just don't ever wanna be like some of these dudes that were there and have hollow eyes, and vague remembrances of The Glory Days.

The middle is somewhere between those schmucks you were with and Captain Redneck; its out there, you just have to make it yours.

Put your girl in training. Buck up.

it's all downhill from here

any story that starts with "her sorority sister" ends with your balls in her purse; treat those words like "wear this orange shirt" and make a beeline for salvation whenever they come up.

Thing is, she's cool. She's down with us (me, you, whoever) getting our monger on, so long as I don't treat her like shit (well, that's another story, eh BUBBA?!)

I think maybe it was the crowd+ knowing these are gonna be the types I have to kick it with week in and week out vs. anything me and the girl will do in our private time.

Or, maybe I just hate Hust?

Nah, you cant help it your girl is in that crowd (a crowd of people that you are better than)

Just put on a good face and ignore the conversations. Also dont be a smart ass. Basically, use whatever act it is that you are using to keep your girl....

he would have more in common with them if they WERE baby eaters.

it used to be that when i was in those situations that i'd try so hard to be cool that i miss the occasional good conversation. make lemonade, my friend. especially if you dig your woman enough.

These things are much more tolerable if you pull up in a kick-ass V-8, per the other thread.

I'm already there, and I find myself for the most part surprisingly happy. Sometimes I still miss being able to drink myself into obivilion day in and day out, and sometimes I still do. However, domestication has it's own perks that you can't really put into words and is hard to understand if you're not living it in my opinion.

You'll probably have to kill her guy friends though. Bama and no music is unacceptable. By the way, Randy Newman- Rednecks is the soundtrack to this thread.

damn, you're gettin' as pussed as Chase now Loog? i expected more balls.

no, you're not stuck with this. if you even think that the situation you're in is "getting stuck", then dip out now holmes. if you don't like that lifestyle, there's no reason you need to "settle" just because you dig this chick.

grow some. tell her what's up.

Egads! Sounds like my married friends' idea of a Super Bowl Party. Fuckin' boring as hell. My friends used to complain as to why I stopped attending their parties. Now, they complain that their lives are lacking excitement. Yeah...well, it IS your choice, right?

just get younger friends.

for real, i have a handfull of friends in their 40s who probably hang out with me because all their friends are now boring. and i have a whole mess of friends in their early 20's for the same reason.

yeah, drinking slightly less, doing the same shit you like to do, or drink more, im not your mother. avoiding the yuppie types and kicking squarely in the groin when you can't.

good luck with that shit.

It's not really that. Its just that Montgomery is a boring city, and the friends we have are content to be bored and boring. I am NOT ok with that, and neither is she really. I just didn't/couldn't find the best way to explain it.

Dat Matt Damon, hunting goodwill

You're in Montgomery now? My sympathies.

I'm still in Mobile, she is in Montgomery. Making me a Montgomery citizen most weekends (at least for the next month or 2 while she moves in, etc..)

Need to get some new buddies:

This thread reminds me of a Whiskeytown song....


seriously, what sort of a society has a party with no music?!?
then again, if they had palyed music it may have been even worse.

I've been to those miserable parties, my wife used to have some...I'm looking for the words....quirky---there, that'll work-- collegues. At one event I actually pretended (In my own intoxicated mind) that I was in a bad SNL skit (this action worked, too,as I recall)
Just remember its the woman, not the scenery, that you love.
