We Were On A Break
Commentary:
A friend and I were talking about the “Friends” legacy. My friend said, “If you want to see a big fight put four men and four women in a room and say “We were on a break”.” It’s true. Men and women think differently, and this is yet one more example.
When a woman tells a man she wants a break it means: She has found another pony that she wants to ride, and she wants to keep us on the hook in case it doesn’t work out. In other words she is breaking up with us. We think this because that is what it means when we say it.
According to most women I know this is rarely the case. It usually means that they want some time apart so that they can think things over. Here is another problem with in our communication. If this is what women mean, this is what women should say. Then even if they said this, I don’t think most men are going to hang around hoping that the woman decides in favor of us.
My friend and I both agree that if a woman ever told one of us that we were on a break, then we ourselves are done. With one exception: if we haven’t found someone new by the time she decides to come back and we are still head over heals for her then we might take her back, but it will never be the same. The trust is already gone, and she will be nothing more than temporary physical fulfillment until we find someone new.
All About Me:
Well I think my air conditioner is not working again. That is twice in 1 year. Last time they had to replace the unit, so I got a new one. Hopefully I’ll just need to have it charged. My sister has finally got under way for her little mini vacation, so I’ll be spending the next few nights at her house. Sadie and Panzer will be having a blast, and lucky me is going to try and mow my sisters front and back yard, then my parents front and back yard. Wooo hooo…. I’ve got next Thursday and Friday off. Thursday to see Star Wars Episode III, and Friday my friend Matt should be arriving. Good times.
Family Circus:
Beth: Well Beth and the kids finally got the car out of the shop and are underway. They are having a little mini vacation in Tulsa while Brian is up there working. Poor Brian. Beth is real excited to take advantage of the hotel pool, and even more excited that her in-laws are springing for a baby sitter so they can all go out. Beth stressed to me the importance of “going out without kids”
Brian: Extremely excited about Episode III coming out.
TJ: Well he has got a new job. He hasn’t quite made up his mind about liking it or not. He’s also very excited about Star Wars.
Sadie’s Kennel:
Jesse gave me a handful of popcorn last night. I love popcorn. Then I sat and gave him “the look” until he gave me some more. My paw is better so I’ve been taking Jesse on his walks twice per day again. Sometimes I wonder what he’d do if I wasn’t there to walk him. He said something about a surprise for me this week. I wonder what it is.
Good Times,
Jesse
