Serial Monogamy

Seems to be the new and latest disease among men that are afraid to commit. This is the opposite extreme of men who can't commit, is the man who cannot be alone. As much as they like to think that it's just the way things happen, somehow when you talk to them it seems like another form of neurosis. It was an interesting take to me b/c I have dated a serial monogamist and I said that I would never do it again.

Why do you ask? Well, this is the thing w/ the serial monogamist. They are incapable of being by themselves. As much as they think that oh I just met this girl or this guy fundamentally they can not be single.

Other things that I think are interesting.  The World Series of Scrabble was on.  I watched it briefly and it had just the kind of men that you would expect to be competing in the world series of scrabble. One guy was a professor of math who was wearing tweed and the other was a classic pianist (ok, he was kinda cute and nerdy) For a minute I thought it was classic ESPN, but nope, this was 2004 and in New Orleans.  They even had announcers trying to give the game some flare.  "Oh he has that W, Bob.  Now he can try to go for the triple word score, but it's better to set up the board by going for the double"  They even had percentages from a computer giving the word weights.  Please, try as you will, scrabble is not exciting.

Other interesting things to note, the Nelly song "Eagle" or "Sweat" or whatever the heck it is.  I have to be opposed to a dance and video that encourages women to "drop down and get their Eagle on"

Big props to Madgirl who helped me have a great time in NYC this past weekend.  Also big ups to Biglil who helped me have a great time in NYC this weekend.

So the topic of the week is homogenetity.  Do you have an obligation to step outside your comfort zone and learn things about people who are different from you?  I am not just talking about race, but about people who are fundamentally different from you?  Leave comments at will.
