Wassup everybody, it’s been awhile since I actually wrote a meaningful article, so what better time than now to fire up the old keyboard! I’ve been listening to Will.I.Am’s, Songs About Girls, masterful production, one of the better albums of 2007. Anyways, instead of posting the album as I normally do, I’m going to use the song titles to re-create my own experiences with women, with a little insight added in to boot….

1. Over
I’ve been in way too many relationships that I allowed to drag on for too long because I was too afraid to pull the plug on them. Sometimes you get involved with someone that peaks your interest for awhile, long enough for you to invest time and feelings, then after some time, the person started getting on your nerves and you realize that it’s not going to last. What to do? The relationship is not bad enough to just fuck it off, then again you don’t want to waste your time dealing with someone if there’s no substantial amount of like/love there. My problem always came in the process of ending it. I never wanted to come across as the bad guy, so I said nothing. The funny thing about relationships is that all eventually comes to the surface. My underlying unhappiness manifested itself in me having a bad attitude and I ended up being the one getting the “Aaron, this isn’t working out…” phone call. Not the best way to handle the situation, but I attained the end result that I wanted. Nowadays, I’m straight up about my feelings, plus a little bit more picky about the women that I deal with, as to avoid that inevitable feeling of emptiness and regret.

2. Get Your Money
I remember going to a local strip club here in Augusta a few years ago and seeing an old classmate in there. She wasn’t stripping, but she was damn near naked. The great thing about that whole situation is that she was one of the girls that I wished I could have seen naked back in high school. So me and my partner are in this strip club and as Emeril would say, BAM! There she is, it’s was almost like taking a yearbook picture and photoshopping over the body of Sinnamon Love. Good times. On a side note, how often does it happen when a guy gets to see some unattainable high school chick naked after graduation, then it lives up to expectations? What are the odds? 10:1? 20:1?

3. Heartbreaker
I’ve only had my heart broken once, that’s all it took for me. I became somewhat callous thereafter and went on a run that Dylan McKay would be jealous of. I’ve calmed down alot as I’ve gotten older and it’s always a sticky situation when you play with someone’s emotions whom you know really care about you, that usually comes back to haunt you. That’s why all my ex-girlfriends are fat whores now. (Just kidding, only half of them)

4. Fantastic
It’s weird when you run into a person that you still have lingering feelings for and haven’t spoken to in awhile. I came across the situation awhile back. The ex was looking good and had it going on, I was a little taken a back by how unimportant I was to her, I mean we had been together for awhile and after we parted ways, I kept in touch with her off and on, then I realized that I was doing all the calling. After that, I cut off the lines of the communication. In the back of my mind, I was thinking that she would miss me and call, but guess what? You got it, not a single call. Then I run into her and she’s all happy to see me, at that point, my pride takes over and I ignore her. Maybe not the best move, but at the time I was still a little hurt and I acted out. Fortunately now, I’ve matured and I usually let go of exes faster than Michael Richards lets go of the word “nigger”. Once a relationship is over, you have to mentally remove yourself from that person, sometimes exes get back together and, in the right circumstances, that’s cool, but you can’t linger around hoping the fire is going to rekindle itself. i had to learn that, even though I was once the focal point of this person’s thoughts at one time, things change.
