Dont be Bush, Cleveland
Iused to date agirl incollege who had a bit ofa reputation as a serialheartbreaker. Youknowthetype:verypretty andgreat atparties,plus the pre-requisitestalkerex-boyfriendthatallthereallycool,newlysinglegirls have. Even thoughHollywood teaches i tsveryromanticto protectand ght for your love,in practice its annoying.Youre trying to watch amovie and hes outsidecrying in your bushes.Youreoutfrontbarbecuing
(in college, you barbecueoutfront)andhescirclinglikeavultureforthescrapsofhisrelationship. Apparently sensing shewasstillonthemarket,one
day hedecidedto stopbyanddemandedtotalktoher--acounteroffer,perhaps.Now,Imallfortheartofnegotiation,butnotonmydime, you know? So, inthemiddleofthestreet,asdiscreetlyasIcould,Iairedout my objections to hisrequestusinghandsignals. Thenextday,remorseful
about the incident andsympathetic to his plight,Igavehimacall.Ascouldbe imagined, he wasntvery happy to hear fromme. Still, I offered a littleadvice: Hey man, shes just a girl. Youll ndanotherone,youllgetoverher.After a briefsilence,helaughed.
Yeah? Well , just youwait and see. Shell getyou,too. She got me all right,forsevenyears (poorgirl)until she dumped me, atwhichpointItookoverthemantle as the guy ghtingofftheurgetodrivepastherbarbecues. Thatepisodeofmylife
cametomindasIwatchedthe recent Lebron Jamessaga.Clevelandrepresentsthe guys in the bushes,and Miami is throwinga stinging, in your face,South Beach barbacoanightafternight. Naturally, Cleveland
-- and Cavs owner DanGilbert, doing his bestimpersonation of acuckolded Mel Gibson-- struggled with feelingsof inadequacy. What doesMiamihavethatwe donthave (besides everythingwedonthave)?Wevegotnicestuff,too! Eventually, the pity
turns to anger. Clevelandsells off LeBrons stuff,posts humiliating picturesonthe Internetand writesangry letters. Tonightyousawwhohereallyis!Gilbert ranted, his way ofsaying thatLebron neverreally loved me! Its like
a bad version of UrbanCowboy. Im waiting forGilbert and John Travoltatoorder Sissyoffthebullandbackintothetruck. Well, Cleveland, forwhat i ts worth, weveall been there. Some sayits better to have lovedand lostandallthat, but Iwont.Thinkofitthisway:
