All About The Rings

This has nothing to do with sports. I went out Friday night with a group of friends I've known for years. The main culprit, my homeboy got married for the second time three weeks ago. This wife is great, almost perfect. He's a good guy and has a daughter from a previous marriage. His ex-wife is a piece of work with skewed priorities. His life was miserable with her. Dude never had a problem meeting women so when he got married to this woman it was an afterthought. The divorce was a motherfucker. My Godbrother is barely thirty and happily married with four kids ten years in. He's a great father and his wife is supportive. So, what got me on this? People believe you're supposed to do certain things between 25 and 30 like get married, buy a house and have a career instead of a job. Look, that ideal life shit changed September 2008 when the economy went straight to the sewer. Now it's about maintaining if you aren't thriving so thank God my life doesn't suck. However, I am single again. My previous posts explain why I broke up with my most recent exes. I plan to record a song about that shit and never bring it up again. I want to be married with children but I have come across some strange women. Seriously, they're strange. I had a show in Lawrence, Kansas I missed due to a frame rod splitting under my car. By the time we finished fixing it, it was too late to make the show. I went out instead. I danced with a married woman all night that danced like she wasn't married. It was crazy because a guy was doing his damndest to buy her and her friends drinks all night. I grabbed a beer and struck up another conversation with an attractive woman that had been looking at me. Me being me I chatted her up. In conversation she said she was married to a nice guy nine years older than her that wanted her to stay in the house all the time. She was NOT wearing a ring. What the fuck?!? Then she said she wasn't looking for any dick because she didn't want to cheat but she was free to sleep with women. Again, what the fuck?!? A couple years ago I would've convinced her she needed my penis in her life but I was cool. I went back to dance with the other married chick's much hotter friend. As I left I thought to myself how messed up some people get when they're marriedm SOME people. Married men that cheat think they can do so as long as they take care of the house. In most cases those same guys would pitch a bitch if their wives cheated on them. You can't justify cheating when you're unhappy. Get divorced or work it out. Some women just want to be married to have a ceremony and they don't give a fuck about the actual marriage. I have another homeboy like that with a worrisome fiancee but the nigga probably marrying her for money. Then there's the ex that sand bagged she was separated from her husband months into our relationship. There's the female friend that sand-bagged her engagement and half-ass remained in an unhappy relationship. She says she ended but I really don't care. I want one woman and over time if it works out that way, I want to marry her. My outlook on things have changed but one thing still remains: I will not marry just anyone and I have my pick. - Moolah
