Rules

Shocking that it's taken me this long to get back into the world of blogs. November of 2008! Really?

So now the question is, where have I been? What have I been doing? Oh I wish I could tell you... I've noticed that people use their blogs to pontificate their "sense of humor" or give the world their take on something. That is fine, in the world wide web, you can find anything you want, and that is why most blogs are boring.

I would like to talk about rules. Society is made up of people who live their lives by waking up, going to work, interacting with co-workers and colleagues, going to the gym, eating, paying bills, watching TV and going to sleep.

The major part that I left out is that people always have one or more things on their list of daily activities that may or may not be disclosed. This is where the rules come in: I really don't care to hear about why you have been rejected so many times by a "certain" type of girl. I especially don't want to hear about "your" reasons for not going out with "certain" girls (we all know that you are now being passive aggressive by giving us your reasons).

Back to the rules. Guys should always have their friend's backs, literally and figuratively. You do not go into unknown waters without someone who you can trust, otherwise you may never return. A guy can never let his or her guard down, doing so can be detrimental, which means always bring your A game, or don't come out at all. One of the worst things a "friend" can do is be your wingman for the night, but decide to not drink and then complain to you the whole night. Not only is that not cool, but it's totally... well, uncool.

Last week, one of my friends called me and told me about his "terrible night." I figured it was a night that consisted of him being rejected by 1's and 2's... it was much worse. My friend was dragged to a party filled with a bunch of hipsters (read losers) where his friend who dragged him refused to drink. Now I fully understand someone who doesn't want to man up and drink, but if you aren't going to drink, then sit back and enjoy the ride... this was the party you wanted to go to, it's not like anyone put a gun to your head.

Also, guys, if you didn't do anything wrong, never apologize. It doesn't help.
