Fellas- Could You Do It?

So you meet a lady. She's gorgeous, smart, cool, funny, sexy, childless, independent and gainfully employed, with good values and decent credit. She's even a lil bit crazy like you like (you KNOW you like that shit.. quit it.) 

Yall hit it off. Yall start dating. Things are going well. Yall fight, but you make up and bone it out before you go to sleep, and wake up happy. Love blooms. 

A year passes. You've begun to notice that the initial quality of cleanliness of her home is declining. She was on her best cleaning behavior in the beginning, of course. But as the months roll on, you begin to see the signs.. not of simple messiness, but problematic dirtiness. Laundry goes undone and piled on the floor. Sheets go unchanged (and yall get it in frequently). She cooks her sexy ass off.. and then the next time you go in the kitchen, dishes are still there.. even if you went home and came back for another visit. 

Time goes on. Everything (else) is perfect! Going strong. She hasn't changed. She's still working out. Still giving head. Getting promotions at work. Watching football all sunday every sunday. Yall hug up and contemplate the future, and its even more appealing to you because she's NOT full court pressing you for a ring. You've mentioned the crib's state. Her feelings were hurt. You argued. She apologized. She pulled it together.. that time. Next time the parquet wood floor was muddy with old tracks when you came over. Her big screen plasma and the entertainment system it sits on are both covered in 1/2-inch thick dust. 

This woman is almost too- good to be true. She's your best friend and confidante, a bad bitch and you're sure she could be a good mother... Except, let's look a little closer at that future. It's natural for the home to be a bit messy when there's a brand new baby. But if this is how it is NOW, imagine where cleaning will rate on the priority list when she's nursing. And babies become ill very easily in unsanitary environments.

And yes, you've even cleaned her home. (She threw that at you in the argument- "If you have such a problem, YOU do it!").. and so, despite the fact that you don't actually live there (it's come up,  decisions have yet to be made) you clean. Until you notice that whether you do clean, or you don't, she's perfectly fine either way. So your subtle hints, your "see how easy this is?" and "If you do it like THIS then the upkeep is much simpler" fall on deaf, uncaring ears.

So, guys.. Here's the question- Could you marry your dream woman, if your dream woman was a slob?

Discuss.

Classic Machinko, Take One

I have been conspicuously silent on the blogging front, for a myriad of reasons. 
(Wait- HAS my lack of blogging been conspicuous? Is that an egotistical thing to say?)
Anyway, I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. But, in perusing some of my older Myspace joints, I realized that I've got some great stuff up there that my whole new group of friends hasn't seen.. and probably that my old buddies wouldn't mind coming across again. 

So, in the interest of getting my feet wet again (and to buy myself some time) I'll be reposting a few of my more entertaining blogs, here. Enjoy! (and comment.. let me know how u feel!) 

Here goes-

I think I've struck blogging gold here, people! 

Im airing out the crazies!! 

Here is a short but amusing conversation from a myspace crazy.. Apparently, I've blown my shot! Dammit, man!

(i've switched the email around so that it reads from the top down.)

LMAO!!

ok, bye. 

P.S. thanks for my next blog topic. :)
P.P.S. i think you meant "opportunistic."

Here's what makes this even funnier- This is how his 'About Me' reads- 

"About me:
Contact me if looking for studio time *** MY NAME IS KIRK,AM IN TO MUSIC PRODUCTIONS, CONTACT ME IF LOOKING TO WORK ON A DEMO, NOT MUCH MORE TO SAY IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS JUST HOLLA AT ME AND THANKS FOR COMING IN MY SPACE."

Now, did I miss the part where he answered all my questions? I think i can read good... right? 

Oh, and for posterity, his Who I'd Like To Meet...

"Who I'd like to meet:
I..LL LIKE TO MEET GOOD PEOPLE, PEOPLE THAT DONT KISS ASS, NO BADMINDED PEOPLE, GUNSHOT ON A HATER!! IF NO BULLET DIDNT REACH YOU , U A LUCKY HATER"


I guess that means me, folks. 

And, the icing on the cake- his page isn't even a music page! He's got NO MUSIC on his page!! 

I get 'em all, folks. And starting now, I'll be bringin 'em to you. 

*TAKES A BOW*

BUT WAIT- THERES MORE!!! 

The conversation continued, as follows:

sweetheart, i just asked you a question. sounds like you have an inferiority complex. maybe i was just asking so i could go listen to the records and judge how i feel about your production. Its a common question, for a lot of reasons.

With regards to working with people who are 'on my level', I work with all sorts of producers, from grammy- winning down to brand new in the game. Good music is good music. And speaking of music, you should put some on your page if you're actually trying to get people to work with you. 

A bit of advice- Your presentation is less than professional. Think about it a little more with the next singer or songwriter you approach.
