I have some exciting news. I suppose I have known about this for a week or so, but you don’t know so I am trying to pretend that I am still excited. My great friend Sara, from Florida, is flying up for the birthday which will make the weekend an international party!

Today, I want to talk about being friends with girls. Could this possible? I think so. It might be rare, but it’s very special when it happens. Girls just switch the topic to—being friends with guys—I guess.

Let me start by saying the following is all my perception. You might think it’s obvious, being that it’s my blog, that it’s my perception, but in this case I think I think my perceptions are wrong, yet I still have them.

It seems to me that girls are allowed to be friends with guys and that’s why I added the I guess. It’s not weird if girls are friends with guys. Maybe because there’s a notion that women can control themselves better then men. Which is ludicrous. However, if a guy is friends with a girl—and let’s just get right down to it—and he doesn’t want… well something more than what a normal friendship would offer that would be weird (this is where I am wrong, but I think it’s an overall idea that exists, especially in the macho-man world that I am certainly part of…). On the extreme, I am talking about sex. But we need not go that far. I think, in the ultra masculine mindset, if there wasn’t a desire or some sexual tension it would be weird. I suppose it wouldn’t be weird, but you/I would just be thought of as gay.

Being thought of as gay isn’t really anything that I have ever been too worried about—obviously because I am such an amazing hetero. All I am saying is that I am aware of what a large percentage of people would say/think. But, even though I am not concerned with my appearance, I have never/rarely been just friends with a girl. Mostly because girls aren’t strong enough to resist me being that I am man of such beauty with rippling abs and a bronzed ass. Leah was certainly drawn to my magnetism. Basically, what I am saying here, is that she’s the moth and I am the flame. Although, she’s not an ugly moth. How about, for this analogy, we will say that butterflies are also drawn to flames and Leah is a beautiful butterfly. Princess of the butterflies. I can’t backpedal much faster than that.

Alright, back to being friends with girls. I have found that being friends with girls to be a real blessing. I have found that girls, including Leah, offer a perspective that is… not available to me. What I am trying to say that I am happy you girls are around. I am happy that we can be friends and that’s alright. So c’mon everybody let’s boogy!
