Stay Important My Friends!

Some words to live by in the new year:

It's important to be nice when you have to be, but it's even nicer for people to know you're important.

This is a lesson I learned the hard way. When my last ex wouldn't accept my level of manly as a gift to her and our kids, she was forgetting this cardinal rule. I had the all the "nice" for her she needed, and it should've been enough to show her how "important" I was to her. The girls I was seeing behind her back got even more "nice" because they were important to me. She complained, of course, but I had to give her this explanation of reality repeatedly, letting her see how ignorant she was, and still is (I sometimes have to keep reminding her, AND let her know I point it out to our son). I hope she trains our daughter better, but that's not really my department. My obligation is to my little man. He already gets the ladies, because I make sure he understands the "nice"/ "important" relationship.

It's important that people are nice to me.

It's nice when people realize how important I am.

As the New Year approaches, be planning for where you can be seen, who you will be with, and how you can stroke that man image.

Christmas Manly!

     Men! No...I'm not talkin to you, Christmas Sally, sippin cocoa with your lady and tucking your kids in...I mean YOU, football fan! Yes, you-out workin your Saturday night game in some local bar, trying to score the next gullible chick you can show off to your pre-teen son and rub in your ex-wife's face when your telling her how many of your problems are her fault. Now that I have your attention...Merry Christmas!

     It's been a while since I've written, I know. Things have been busy while I've tried to chase down my next big promotion. I'm pretty sure my ex wife has been screwing my plans over, because I know I'm impressive all the way around (especially to the women around me), and still no call-backs. Still, I keep at it, and let my son know how his mom is royally screwing him and me out of the man stuff that the world owes us.
 
      But being a man means persevering, and knowing that the world respects you for being manly. As a matter of fact, I just went to a weekend workshop, and didn't bother going to any of the waste-of-my-time classes, because I'm already smarter than all of them. Besides, I'm going to be their boss when I get promoted, so why learn the worker bee stuff? I just went to the nighttime fun bar stuff, did some networking and worked the lady-game. I have a couple guys around me who tell me I should be more careful. I shouldn't use work as my own personal lady farm, or use so much of my time riding my ex's case over phone, text and email. Especially when I tell her straight up what I think of her and what I hope happens to her. They swear that in a relatively small town, and in a profession where everybody in the county knows everyone else: people will know. They even try to tell me that my own behavior could be the root cause of all my problems, and that I'm setting a bad example for my son. Guess what? I think they are just jealous. They are nerds. They don't have my cool, and never will. My Christmas present to me, and all of you will be to stay awesome my friends! So hook me up and tell me how the season is treating you.
