KJ's back in town!

KJ, my long time friend and one of my last surviving MALE friends came into town yesterday from DC for the holidays. Man, being in the FBI has really whipped him into shape! He was looking lean mean and capable of kicking all sorts of ass! (ooo! be still my heart!)

Anyway, it was soooo nice to be shootin' the shit with one of the GUYS again! Don't get me wrong, I love all my female friends to death, but every once and awhile you need to be with your own kind! Get a little dose of testestorone in the ol' veins and have a nice manly conversation!

We talked about everything from politics to the latest movies and of course-- women.

He told me this particular story about how some co-worker is trying to get him to express his feelings, trying to get him to "open up", but of course Kenny wasn't having any of it. While listening to this, I kinda of chuckled to myself... I must've sounded just as annoying to my emotionally stunted ex. Kenny told the woman that yes, he is sheltering his emotions because:

A, He barely knows her.

B. He feels no need to explain his feelings to her.

C. HE'S A MAN!



The last one cracked me up because that is so KJ. Good to see he's not a complete government drone. We both agreed that the woman was obviously interested in him and was just trying to find out what he's about. I told him chicks dig enigmas! I just kept picturing them in a dusty interrogation room as she drills KJ for info under the hot lights! He said he's kinda wary about dating a co-worker which I can understand completely.



He asked me about my woman situation and I told him about my "interesting" year with women culminating to the "affair" with the married chick. KJ chuckled, shook his head and just said "Damn. Women are a beautiful pain in the ass." No questions about details. No holding my hand and encouraging me to talk about it and no sissy group hug crap. Nope, we just started talking about sports. That's when I knew how much I truly missed hanging with the guys! Life is lot less complicated that way. I don't have to hear complaints about weight issues every 15 minutes, no vivid descriptions about "feminine" problems. I don't have to think about the best "lie" to come up with when asked by a girl if they look fat in a certain outfit. (Yes, everyone knows that stating the truth equals certain bitchy death.), no listening to your female friend ceaselessly prattling about a bunch of "bitches" that pissed her off despite the fact that you've never heard of any of them and don't give a damn, and of course, no enduring the monthly MONSTER.



Hanging out with women has made me waaay too "sensitive". Of course it's not all bad, but I've got to have a balance.

I then told him about the PHASES and he laughed and told me that was classic Vincent. I'll take that as a compliment by god!





A third manly man male friend was supposed to join us, but he called in and said he couldn't make it, but he said he was free tonight. I'm really looking forward to it.
