My 20's have been left behind and my 30's has begun. This is my journey into the next phase of adulthood.

So, should I be feeling any different?

Anniversary Hangover
January 29, 2007

Damn. My recovery time after a night of drinking just isn't what it was a few years ago.

Batgirl and I had a great anniversary celebration. The inn we stayed at was perfect. The room was everything I had hoped for, complete with the fireplace and jacuzzi. Unfortunately, I forgot what happens when you mix an espresso martini, a little champagne, some wine, and two margeritas with a hot tub. Talk about intensified intoxication! Sunday was one long nap.

I'm a bit sad that the evening was over in a flash. However, we've got another amazing night out in the future: Batgirl surprised me with an anniversary gift of her own, a dinner cruise for two in Boston. I always wanted to do something like that.

Now, it's back to reality. Monday is upon us, and I am swamped with work. Friday can't come soon enough...

Tale of Two Anniversaries
January 26, 2007

I've wanted to post at least one extra time this week, but the continuously busy schedule has not allowed. Batgirl and I had a college basketball game to attend one night, then I worked late the last couple night. Combine that with working on my 1-year anniversary present to Batgirl, and the blog hits the last rung of the priority ladder.

Imagine that. One year. Me, with someone this long had never been thought to be possible, in my opinion. With an average relationship lifespan of 3 months before Batgirl came into my life, I began to wonder what I was doing wrong. I guess now I got something (and the someone) right.

The gift I've worked so hard on is what I did for her for the 6-month, but I never was able to get the slide show of our photos quite right. She liked what she saw, but I could never figure out how to get the music onto the same CD as the Powerpoint presentation. All the while, she'd ask when she would ever get the slide show. Well, with a few more pictures, I got it all figured out. I even made a CD case cover to go with it. Now I am computer fatigued.

Before I call it a weekend, I wanted to point out what today and tomorrow means to me. Today is the first anniversary of my grandmother's passing. It occured sometime in the very early AM hours, before I was even awake. For as sad a reflection as today is, tomorrow will be at the opposite end. Tomorrow marks one year since Batgirl and I went on our first date.

I sometimes wonder what my grandmother would think of Batgirl. I'm sad she never got to meet her. It's funny that months before she left us, she consoled and assured me I'd meet the right girl after I was dumped by the Midwest Girl. It's ironic that the day after she died, I somehow found it in me to go on the date with Batgirl, have a blast, and the rest is history. You sometimes wonder if someone really is watching over us.

So, to commemorate this milestone, I booked us a night at an inn in a shore town about an hour-plus from where we live. We'll be away from it all. I told her we should just shut off our cell phones and forget the shitty week we had at our jobs, the demands of friends and family (well, her family), and make the 24 hours about us. Our room will have a whirlpool bathtub, a gas fireplace, a view of the water, and we have dinner reservations at a nearby Italian restaurant. While I didn't want to put myself out financially, I looked at my budget and figured out I could swing the occasion if I found the right deal--and I did. All it takes is a little effort and internet savvy.

I already know she's got something cooked up for me, and it has to do with Feb 24. There's a gift that I think has to do with that date, and it's was delivered to her today. I haven't been able to figure it out, and amazingly she hasn't caved in and told me. I thought it was Red Sox Spring Training, but there are no games that day, plus she would have asked me to block more than one day out of my schedule. As much as I don't want her spending money, I'm touched she is willing to go the extra mile.

I'm excited about our little brief getaway. Of course, not to be lost in all this is how grateful I am that I've spent this last year with this woman. I only wish one other special woman from my life would have had the chance to know her.

Testosterone Tuesday: Patriots, Playoffs, & Porn
January 23, 2007

A great day of football on Sunday was had by all.

Except if you're a Saints fan, and ESPECIALLY if you are one of football's most spoiled--a Patriots fan.

As a native New Englander who still has many friends and family who are homers and root for this decade's "dynasty," I can finally understand how annoying us Red Sox fans must have sounded after winning the 2004 World Series after the week. After the years of barbs from Patriot fans, I've made the startling discovery that these same people truly do behave like the very thing they despise during baseball season: a Yankee fan.

If you don't know what I mean, then I'll explain it. Arrogant, like when this past weekend's AFC Championship game against the Colts was set , the Patriot fan started making arrangements to Miami for Super Bowl XLI. Cocky, like when the playoffs begin the Pats fan starts talking matter-of-factly about who they expect to face in the Super Bowl, like it's a given their team will be playing there. Spoiled, like assuming when each season starts that the AFC East will be a cakewalk, and an AFC Championship game is a permanent part of the yearly schedule.

This season, Patriots fan, Peyton Manning and the Colts had different plans for you, just like our mutually beloved Red Sox had for the same type of nemesis Yankees in 2004. These Colts had that something it took to come back from adversity and get over the hump, reminiscient of our 2004 Sawx's 3-0 deficit going into Game 4 of the ALCS vs. the Yank-me's. Yesterday, trailing by 18 going into the closing minutes of the 1st half, the much-maligned Manning lead his team on two impressive scoring drives to cut down the lead to 8, then came back again to tie it. Imagine, his coach Tony Dungy was out-coaching the "legendary" Bill Belichick, the "God of the Salary-Cap Football Era," just like Terry Francona did to the "legendary" Joe Torre in 2004.

Yes, Patriots fan. YOU got the taste of the same thing those damn Yankee fans had in 2004. I hope you remember it in 2007 before you begin to decry that Tom Brady is going to lead the league in passing yards and TD's, the AFC East will be a joke, and you start looking for your tailgate spot at Gillette Stadium for the AFC Championship Game before even one September kickoff. Then, remember how much you hate hearing Yankee fan write off our Sox before one opening pitch, before one David Ortiz game-winning homer.

Sickening isn't it?

Gotcha.

To Close Out The Week
January 18, 2007

I don't know what it is but I've been pretty beat this whole week. Maybe it was the roller-coaster of the start to this week with the baptism of Batgirl's neice, followed by a lot of drinking, then the wake and funeral. It could be the constant pressure at work to stay on top of my projects, or maybe I'm just in desperate need of exercise to get the blood flow better. Since I'm winding down with the week, I won't be getting into much in this post. Just a couple of things on my mind.

First, a week from Saturday Batgirl and I will celebrate our one-year anniversary. Now, in past months, readers have been disgusted with our tendency to "celebrate" anniversaries. This one, however, is important. I've NEVER spent this much time with someone before, and the personal record was broken, as a matter of fact, after the first 5 months. We haven't talked much about the fact our first year is coming to a close next weekend. I'm sure it's been in the back of her mind, as it has mine. I'd like to do something special, but I have a problem: money. The recent repair on my car and the spending on Christmas gifts has left me very concerned about my finances.

A couple of ideas are, going to a couple of ocean-side towns about an hour away and staying in a local inn/bed & breakfast. We both love the ocean, and since it's not tourist season, it could be very private. My other idea is hitting a top-notch restaurant downtown. I think the getaway idea works best, but again, money has me a bit on edge right now and the last thing she'd want me to do is put myself really in debt. Any of you have good ideas you've done for milestones with a significant other?

The other thought at the front of my mind as I call it a week is, do I really like this job? I know how excited I was when I left the old job back in July. You all remember that. However, I feel like I'm right where I was a year ago: overloaded, overwhelmed, and not overly-enthused to start my day each morning. I think 6 months is a good sample of what the job is all about, and I know a lot more now than I did in July. Yet, I try to look into the future, and I just don't see where it's taking me.

Don't get me wrong. I really like the people I'm working with, and the company I work for is still on a major growth trend. Still, I just don't feel reward. The sales people are pushy and actually a bit of a hinderance. The customers are a bit uncooperative, and I'd be the first to be thrown under the bus if the job isn't completed satisfactorily despite the fact the customer fumbled the ball. I don't know. Maybe it's my usual winter funk. I hope that's all it is because at age 30, and with having strong considerations about taking that next step with my girlfriend, I'd really like to be on a patch to the career I'll have the rest of my professional life. Changing jobs doesn't seem like the right move right now, and certainly wouldn't look good on the resume.

Money and working just plain sucks, don't it?

Pall Bearer
January 17, 2007

As you probably deduced from the silence of the last couple of days, Batgirl's aunt did indeed lose her battle with cancer. The wake and funeral was over the last couple of days, and leading up to that ironically was the baptism of Batgirl's 2-month old niece. It's amazing to think that a couple of days after the life of one family member begins (in the eyes of the Catholic Church), the life of another ends with a funeral. Yeah, it was a very busy and emotional weekend with Batgirl's family, and I went along on the ride willingly.

The love these people share is tremendous, and the appreciation for my presence in their lives and in Batgirl's was never felt more evident than when Batgirl's dad asked me to be a pall bearer for the deceased aunt. I only met this aunt twice, with the most recent meeting being in July where I amazed many by holding a long conversation with her at the dinner table while most of the family was off mingling with guests as Batgirl's brother's wedding. I learned that day, and details of my relationship with Batgirl that the aunt undoubtedly would get from her niece, left a great impression on a woman I barely knew. While it felt very awkward, I accepted. That side of the family had few people who could take on the responsibility, and by being asked to do so was amazing.

I was also shocked by the behavior of Batgirl's uncle, who has been devestated by the untimely death of his wife. He is a man with a great many issues (he never told his own family that his wife was dying of cancer; they learned about it in the death notices), and he spent the entire time at the wake slumped forward in a chair, barely greeting mourners, and rarely saying a word to Batgirl's family. For some reason, he never cared for his wife's family, and he kept her away from them as much as possible for many years. This resulted in the aunt missing many-a-memories with her nieces and nephew. It was only in these last few months that everyone learned the truth about the prison her life had become, and in some sick way, I think this was God's way of setting her free.

In all likelihood, Batgirl's uncle will fade into obscurity, and what happens with the 19-year-old cousin (who I caught taking a photo with his cell phone of Batgirl and her mom kneeling at the closed casket, BTW) will be interesting. He handled his mother's illness and eventual death like it wasn't even happening, and he seems to have the attitude of his father that he doesn't need his mother's family being involved in his life. No matter though, because both Batgirl and her mother said they'd try to keep in touch with him.

When I see sad situations like this, it reminds me how lucky I am, and how lucky my girlfriend is, that we have such loving families. This poor cousin of hers is probably going to be as lost of a soul as his father, and there will be nothing his deceased mother's family will be able to do about it. Yes, I felt horrible these two men lost a wife and a mother, but the unhealthy way of dealing with it disgusted me in a way. Shit, I didn't even get a thank you for being a pall bearer from either of them. At least Batgirl and her family were extremely grateful, and that's what was most important to me.

Isn't It Ironic
January 12, 2007

I'm going to bail out on the year-in-review shit. Tonight I got word that Batgirl's aunt, who has been battling all types of cancer for the last 5 months or so, is likely in her final hours.

While this news is of no surprise to anyone familiar with the situation, I find some irony in this sad event. You see, about a year ago it was yours truly who had a family member losing the battle to cancer. In case your reading comprehension is horrible, you read about it a couple of Wednesday. Batgirl came into my life at the same time my grandmother lost to this disease. This new romance (at that time) was a welcome distraction to the sadness I felt, and it certainly helped get me through the grieving process.

Now, flash forward to 2007 and it is Batgirl who is feeling the same pain. While her aunt was distant from the rest of the family, there still was time in the months since her diagnosis that she softened up. Batgirl and her mom (who has never handled her sister's sickness well) feel guilt for the lack of involvement the aunt had with the family over the years. I told Batgirl that for her to feel this way is natural at a time like this as they mourn her likely passing, but the reality is the aunt made a choice to be controlled by her husband and be an outsider.

I foresee in the coming weeks a whole lot of phone calls to Batgirl by her mother while she and I try to spend time together. It's going to be sad--and ugly. When the diagnosis first came down, the woman was a mess. She'd get loaded on wine, and make calls to Batgirl. One night, while we were at Master K's 30th, her mom called about five times, but we never heard the cell ring. I told Batgirl she and her sibs would need to have an intervention with their mother about her out-of-control handling of the matter, but it never came down to that as her mom seemed to get a grip in the last couple of months.

This is a very sad, and strange, repeat of history, I must say. I wish this wasn't happening, but unfortunately it is. My condolences go out to Batgirl and her family, especially her grandparents who have treated me like a grandson. Her Nana is not handling this well either, and I do hope she can find the happiness that still exists in her life like her new baby great-granddaughter, and her three grandchildren who have so much in front of them. To everyone out there who doesn't keep involved in their family, you may want to while you have your health. In a snap of a finger, the opportunity could be taken away like it was from Batgirl's aunt.

2006, According to That 30's Guy Part 2, in Short
January 11, 2007

I provided a lot of color for January 2006, but now we will blow through the next 4 months of 2006...

February--My relationship with Batgirl got on the fast track. We had memorable dates like going to a college basketball game then hitting up a local popular dive bar for dinner, getting dinner and playing pool just before the biggest storm of the winter hit, and skiing together for the first time. Another night, we just stayed in with the purpose of getting loaded since the next day was President's Day. She introduced me to Nim Chow at that day. We also shared our first Valentine's Day, an evening where I whipped up raspberry chicken and coconut rice. I still have the empty bottle from that night. The first 30th birthday bash of 2006 occured, my longtime pal DT who I've known since we were 2 years old. It would be the first of many last year.

March--not to disprespect my lady by kissing and telling, but the one thing I'll remember most about March was the first time Batgirl and I slept together. We fought off the desire to have sex for well over a month, and finally it happened, albeit unexpectedly. To this day, we are both very glad we waited. I also met her parents. I never felt nervous as they made me feel very welcome. When you look my status now, I'm nearly considered one of the family.

April--Batgirl took me for my first ever massage. Man--as strange as the masseuse was, the experience was very relaxing. No happy ending though. Closing the month,Batgirl and I went on our first ever trip together. We went down south for a marathon she was participating in. We'd never been to the city, and we had a great time. It was during this weekend when the realization hit me that I was falling in love with her.

May--This month had a lot happen. To being, a day after returning from our trip, Batgirl and I hit Fenway Park to see Johnny Damon's return to Boston as the Yankees got smoked by the Red Sox. Unlike many in the park that night, I stood and gave Johnny D a standing ovation. Twice. A day later, a former reader revealed they had been able to uncover Batgirl's identity and where she lived based on info I'd posted in the old blog. Immediately, the old blog was flushed into obscurity, regretfully. Flash forward to the night before Mother's Day. Batgirl and I got loaded. After she hit the floor in a drunken pile and I was helping her up, she looked into my eyes and declared she loved me. What else was I to do but tell her the truth I had come to accept weeks earlier. I loved her, too. The next day, we made sure we told each other without any influence of alcohol. Hearing it again--sober--was just as great as hearing it the first time.

Ah yes--these first 5 months of 2006 were nothing but bliss for Batgirl and I. It really hit me as I was doing this recap that my girlfriend played a major role in the more memorable moments of the last year. That's a pretty good thing to discover as you take inventory of what you look back on in a particularly memorable time of your life.

In June, however, the smooth ride we were enjoying would hit bumps, and the road since would continue to continue to hit potholes up through the New Year...

2006, According to That 30's Guy, Part 1
January 10, 2007

Yeah I know. We're halfway into the second full week of 2007. I'm doing my reflection on 2006 now. Some people like this type feature, other's don't. I was a bit burned out on doing work on a computer last week, so call this my "blog catch-up".

As many of you may remember, I had a previously well-supported blog for most of 2005--I'd say about 97% of it. When the end of the year arrived, I thought it would be cool to go through the old posts and see if I'd made the type of progress as a man I had hoped for at the start of the year, or if there was much work still to be done. The piece got a good response from readers as I linked monthly recaps to some of my key posts of the year. It was great for new readers, and it was especially entertaining to longtime fans of the blog. The blog was even up for half of this year, but alas I had to pull it down for over a month. May to June was a dark month in my blog world, but here we are again. We're at a new address, with a new readership (though a minority), and into another year. Why not a look back for the newbies to get to know me more, and a recap of the events you did experience with me?


Let's get into the Delorian...



I'd say January was probably the most pivotal month for me as a person in this past year. Like a great leadoff hitter, January set the tone for 2006 for me. If you've caught the occasional mentions about her in my previous posts, you know about my long distance love who dumped me last November. I began the year with a bit of a heavy heart as I continued to rebound from my heartbreak. I already met a much younger woman (about 6 years my junior) in the beginning of December'06, and after three weeks of dating and with no exciting New Year's Eve plans, she agreed to join me at a party with my friends in Connecticut. We brought the year in in-style: champagne, shrimp, houers d'ouerves, good music, dancing, and dressed to the nines. As the night went on, we couldn't control ourselves, and a couple of hours into 2006, we brought the new year in with a (ahem) bang ;)

The fire from that night didn't last. I was still keeping myself emotionally unavailable, and I was purely content keeping things casual and just getting together once a week. I was definately open to dating other people. Just before the Martin Luther King, Jr holiday weekend, I'm having dinner with my best buddy Ren when my phone rings. I think it's my dad because it comes up as his cell phone. I answer, only to hear a girl's voice. My dad had dared her to call me from the surprise party my mother's former coworkers had thrown for her. As surprised as I was, I found the bold move to be rather attractive. I was tempted to have her come meet Ren and me out at a bar, but decided that may be too forward. I didn't even know who she was.

That woman ended up becoming the woman you all know as Batgirl.

Nearly a week later, after a week of being questioned by my mother and father if I had any interest in meeting this girl my mom used to work with, things with the young girl ended ubruptly (by her choice). My mind was already moving towards going on the blind date with this mystery girl, so the dump didn't quite hurt the way it should. However, the dating situation would quickly take a back seat to a more important matter.

My grandmother had been battling Hodgkin's for the last few months of 2005. I had last spoken to her on New Year's Day. She was so happy I had been able to get back into the dating scene after my heart was broken. In a matter of a couple of weeks, though, her health took a dramatic turn, and it wasn't looking good. I had just spoken with Batgirl to set up our first date, when my mother called to tell me things were taking a turn for the worst. I was ready to fly Florida to be with my dad and uncles, and be able to say my goodbye. However, I would never get that option because on January 26th, 2006, my grandmother passed away.

I was close to my grandmother; she would babysit my brother and I after we got out of school for many years during the afternoons when both of our parents were at work. We'd go over to my grandparents' house every Sunday for dinner. In 1987, my grandfather whom I was very close to passed away to liver cancer, and now we lost his wife, my dad's mother, quite unexpectedly nearly 20 years later. I had last seen her in the summer for a family reunion. She seemed to healthy and vibrant then. Now, she was gone.

I wasn't sure if I should cancel the date with Batgirl the next night, the 27th. I really thought it through hard. I then figured that my grandmother, who had always wanted success in love for me, would want me to meet this woman I already had a good vibe about. Since it would be quite a few days before the funeral, I felt like I could focus my mind on the date. Besides, I didn't want our first time meeting to be at a wake.

Nearly 12 months later, it turned out to be the right decision. We had a very fun first date that last over 5 hours. We hit a few different bars, talked and laughed a lot, and shared our first kiss overlooking the city from a park above downtown. Since then, we fell in love, and will celebrate one year together in 17 days. She had a huge influence in 2006, and it's because of her the year was one I'll be able to look back on fondly.

Coming Up Next: February through May 2006 , at the speed of light...

30's Guy Sage Advice
January 08, 2007

I've been taught a few lessons in the last couple of weeks that I hope I remember...

#1 NEVER take your car to a mechanic other than the one you normally use.
This is probably not a newsflash to anyone, but I learned this one the hard way. The head gasket on my Grand Am was leaking coolant, and since the week between Christmas and New Year's was going to short for me, I opted to have the repair done on my car. Problem was: my regular mechanic is always closed that week. I mention this necessary repair to Batgirl's dad, who refers me to a couple of mechanics he's used and was happy with the service. I'm off the day of Batgirl's closing, and again two days later, so I decide to drop my car off at one of the places. The garage seemed kind of shady, but I figured Batgirl's dad wouldn't stear me wrong.

What follows was a repair that took 12 days. Yes. TWELVE DAYS! First, the repair was done, but the mechanic fucked something up. They end up sending my car to another garage they share business with, with the bill being taken care of. I'm told it would be done last Friday, but guess what...it wasn't. I work out a deal for them to pay for a rental, and low-and-behold, the car gets done today. Now, the trick will be getting my money for the rental car.

#2 You should always set a budget before Christmas shopping.
I haven't added my bills up yet, but I can guarantee you it will take me months to dig out of debt. This Christmas, I didn't get a Christmas bonus like I used to at the old job (it was a very generous one, too). I didn't take that into account, and with the additions of Batgirl and a few of her family members (I didn't spend much on them), I may have bitten off more than I could chew. I don't know what has happened, but suddenly my checking account is looking pretty skimpy, especially after I just wrote a check for my car loan payment and took care of my utility, insurance, and cell phone bills today. I guess making mid to low $40K isn't all it's cracked up to be.

#3 Being committed to one person is actually a little work.
I've always been faithful. I haven't had many opportunities to cheat over the years when I was with someone, but then again, I've never had a relationship to the level of the one I have with Batgirl. As we approach our one year anniversary in another 19 days, I've been hit with a couple of temptations. First, there was the girl from the strip club a couple of weeks ago who clearly was flirting with me all night. Now there is the relatively new, and veryattractive, girl in the office who caught my eye just before Christmas, and continues to turn my head each day. All I know about her is she's about my age, is divorced, and today I discovered she smokes (which is a bit of turn off for me, not that I have any problem with people who smoke). Today I also noticed her flirt a little with me, and that stuck with me for a time. Admittedly, I enjoyed it briefly.

Of course, no matter what happens, I always seem to get her out of my mind when the work day ends, and Batgirl comes back to the forefront of my carnal desires. I guess it's all about discipline, and appreciating what you have with the one you love.

Feelin' Blue
January 07, 2007

I know it's been a while since my last post, and a lot of you non-sports fans care to read sports-oriented writing but...too fuckin' bad. I've been pretty burned out with computer use due to the job, but at the moment I am motivated.

Tonight, hopes that were so high, and declined gradually throughout this NFL season, came to a crushing end. My New York Giants, who I was so confident back in September would be representing the NFC in Super Bowl XL on Feb 4, fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 23-20 on a last-second field goal. More of the same that I and my fellow Giants fans suffered through all season continued on in this game. We saw penalties at in-opportune times, piss-poor playcalling, classic folds in crunch time by the defense, big plays by the opposing team when momentum was moving over to Big Blue's favor, and bad tackling. It was the perfect microcosm of the 2006 season.


Of course, the biggest disappointment--at least for me--is tonight's loss marks the end of the career of my favorite player, Tiki Barber (above). He had another stellar game tonight, except he couldn't get the ball into the end zone when they needed it late. Nevertheless, the Giants lose a superstar player and a classy human being. There aren't many likable players on this team, and with Tiki leaving there aren't many more choices. I sure do hope that if the Giants brass wisens up and cleans out the coaching staff that Tiki will have a change of heart. It sure doesn't sound like it, but I can always dream right? Like, about how Big Blue's going to do next season?

Testosterone Tuesday 2007
January 02, 2007



What better way to bring in 2007 than with a Testosterone Tuesday post?

So you're probably wondering why I have photos of Carmen Electra and Pam Anderson. Well, because I had a hot as fuck dream about the two of them on New Year's Eve. Funny thing was, I had it with Batgirl laying next to me in bed.

In a nutshell, the backdrop for the dream was that I was on some type of business trip and it began with Pam Anderson and myself being alone in my hotel room. One way or another, things lead to us messing around. She ends up having to go off and make an appearance somewhere, and I'm all paranoid the press is going to be on top of our rendez-vous. I'm praying Batgirl won't find out.

Some time later, Carmen Electra makes her appearance in the dream. Once again, we begin to get into it, except we keep getting interrupted and a little hot sex never comes to fruition...which is a the way things would go in real life.

What the hell causes this? It's rare for me to have any dreams about celebs, although some years ago I had a sweet dream about me and Winona Ryder. I've never looked at her the same since. Who have you been hot for while in slumber (celeb or someone you know)?

Yeah. Not the typical Testosterone Tuesday I would post, but I thought it would be amusing to talk about. I'm sure most of you would have like a New Year's-type recap, and I will work on that tonight. Until then, don't be too depressed about returning to work. Afterall, it's going to be a short week anyway.
