On New Years Eve, I had the pleasure of doing what all bartenders do on holidays, work. At the stroke of midnight, I watched dozens of couples, many who had just met a few hours before, practically hump each other on my bar. Watching sloppy drunks make out is normally on my list of "Reasons Why Being A Bartender Can Suck Sometimes", but for some crazy reason, I was actually inspired. I decided right then and there what my New Year's resolution was going to be; 2011 will be the year of getting laid. A lot.
A few years ago, I ended up meeting someone that just rocks. Plain and simple. Like every other couple, we've had our ups and our down, but one thing stays the same, he deals with my craziness and let's me be...well, me. Rather than going on and on about my badass bf, I'll get to the point. Similiar to many necessary, but sometimes neglected, aspects of our lives, such as going to the gym and eating the right foods, maintaining all aspects of our significant relationships isn't something we always do. Listening to our partner talk about his/her day, no matter what game is on doesn't always happen. Going on dates with each other and remembering to say thank you slips by us. Dressing up in sexy lingerie and doing it like it's the first time all over again...well, let's just say, I'm pretty sure most of us in long term relationships have built up a collection of dust in our lingerie drawers.
Good boyfriends and girlfriends are hard to come by especially when there are tons of other options around every corner. Finding one is hard, but keeping one is damn near impossible. Letting your sig-o bitch about the stupid chicks at work, spending $50 on sushi and saki bombs once a week, and dusting off the old corset isn't all that hard and believe me, it goes a long way. Moral of the story, to those of you in relationships, if you want them to last a lifetime, you have to jump back in the saddle (pun intended). And singles, have a blast doing what you do, but please realize that the time and the place to hook up isn't at a bar in front of a bartender.
Haha oh you hit the nail on the head. I'm totally guilty as charged...firstly, I've bought lingerie ONCE in the past two years, (it was like 6 months ago), and secondly, I haven't even worn it!! Ahh.. the joys of being in a long term relationship. You forgot to remind the ladies to bust out the razor more than once every couple of weeks too. ;-) p.s. congrats on 1000 hits!!! yay!!
