The Joys of Bachelor Life.
I was driving into work, when my MP3 player (it’s name is Bender) started to play the theme song from Batman.
Not The new Batman.
Not even the cheesy Batman with The Governor of California in it.
I’m talking the old school Batman TV show theme. You know the one.
“Atomic Batteries to Power…. Turbines to speed….”
As I listened to this little blast from the past, I realized if you take away the talking, and “Batman” words, you have a 60’s surf movie song.
Think about it next time you hear the music.
I think that’s what caused the “Chris is wearing Hawaiian shirts all the time” craze of 2003. Not a good time.
Anyways, whilst thinking up that important thought, I decided that whilst I would like to be in a relationship (with a girl ) there are a lot of things that I get away with.
1) Oh, those Hawaiian shirts
2) The Uniform shirts
3) I can avoid going to the Doctor till I am at deaths door.
4) I can be extra lazy. If there are floaties in my water, I just wait until they all settle to the bottom. No going to the sink and getting a whole new cup of water for me!
5) I can make jokes about bath towels. (Yes, they do get washed. I think).
6) I get to eat all this stale food. This is due to the fact I just can’t eat it fast enough. Hardened Peeps. Dairy products that are questionably over the expiration date. – Can my married brethren do that?
7) I can let hobbies take over my life. Some of them include
- Pinball Machines
- Arcade Games
- Belt Buckles
- Photography
- Concerts
- Concert T-Shirts
- Computers
- Belly Button Lint
So the things I don’t get being a bachelor
1) Someone to get me to go to the Doctor, before I die.
2) Someone to scratch my back
3) Someone to kiss (wooooooooooooooooo)
4) Someone to convince me to get rid of my sideburns
5) Someone to let me know I make questionable fashion decisions (Parachute Pants, Woo!)
6) Eating home cooked meals.
7) Cooking home cooked meals.
8) Tax breaks π
9) Someone to rub the stupid knots out of my back
10) The ability to sit next to someone in a movie (since you can’t sit next to another guy in a theater)
11) Someone to laugh at my stupid humor.
Over all I would have to say that while the bachelor stuff is fun, I think I’ll enjoy the relationship stuff once it comes.
For right now though, Carpe Diem!
While bachelor life sounds like it may be fun, having been there and having been married, I pick the later. I am sure from your comments you feel the same way.
Thanks Dad π
