Boldy Saying What Other Men Wanted To...

No, I'm not engaged yet, but can someone tell me what the importance is of engagement photos? The Girlfriend and I are practically Hatfield's vs. McCoy's on this subject. She sees them as necessary, a beautiful way to mark the occasion... Where I see them as frivolous, and the equivalent of putting on the tuxedo to take your junior class yearbook photo.

When did it become the norm? Research must be done to determine this. Upon successful googling, I will power up the Mr. Fusion, and travel back to that date. Then I will find the groom, bring him back here and explain to him how not standing up to his fiancee, or the photographer has made life hell for the future. Hopefully he will see the error of his ways, and then we will return back to the past to alter the course of the future forever. Hopefully my efforts will also in some way subvert the men wearing pink movement, or wraps.

The Girlfriend countered with the argument that the photos mark the engagement. My response was, "Doesn't the ring do that?" Ladies don't get offended, but you know that once you get the bling, you all start doing stuff with your left hand way more often. Like you've been ambidextrous your whole lives. I've seen right-handed women start signing things with their left hands just so you can see the ring. Or my favorite is this move... they start walking around with that rare strain of arthritis that causes the palm of their left hand to face the ground with fingers outstretched.

So I know I won't probably ever get it. Nor do I care to. I don't think my stance will ever change. I will forever see engagement photos as a waste of time, so there is no point in arguing this with me. I will however close with this... Ladies, you get a five thousand plus dollar gift, you get to plan the "big day", you get to run the rest of our lives, and then once we die before you you get to spend our life insurance money. So if your man says he's not really feeling the engagement photos, do me a favor and let one slide...

Now hiring... Inquire Within

I've been sucking, pretty much at life. Well not at life, but everything in and what I'm supposed to be doing with my life, so I feel it is safe to say that I am sucking at life.It's so bad, I don't even blog when inspiration strikes, I now blog whenever The Girlfriend tells me to. It's funny because she wants to hear what I have to say, but she never lets me talk. (yes, it's a little mean, but fairly accurate.)

But never mind that, I am here to talk about the future. I have taken a little while to think and decide how I'm going to live the rest of my life. And I am here to introduce to you to Bobcorp. Bobcorp is my new venture, and my company will focus mainly on providing a better standard of living for me.

So anyways I'm sitting in my CEO chair and in walks one of my employees, upset at their job title. Apparently this employee wants a larger stake in Bobcorp. They want more responsibility, more hours, and adjacent offices. I sat there while the PowerPoint slides flipped one after another. And during lunch, we discussed financials, as well as a possible merger down the road. It was a serious day in the short existence of Bobcorp.

If you haven't guessed by now, The Girlfriend has been talking about a promotion to The Fiancee. So if this goes the way she would like, there will eventually be an opening in Bobcorp for the position of Girlfriend. All willing applicants should send there resumes and head shots down to the Bobcorp headquarters.
