Wow, last weekend, what a pile of crap it was!
Friday night was one of those nights where all the girls get together to do girly stuff (as I'm sure all of you girls understand, its an important thing to do), and us guys all went and hung out and drank and just had a nice chill night hanging out on the back deck smoking and drinking.
Well, all was fine until my friend Maaren called to see what we were up to, and we kind of told them the deal, girls night at the bar, guys night at the house. She didn't want to go to girl's night because she was thinking that her fiance would have nothing to do (I don't know why he can't find his own shit to do). So it ended up that she went to girl's night and he drove over to the place where all of us guys were hanging out. He arrives and begins this kind of odd behavior of telling all of us that not only does our taste in music suck, but that we're wrong about just about everything, and he knows because (?????). I'm not sure what the deal was, but it was very frustrating. Also, he drank all of our beer at a tremendous rate, even though he had his own bottle of whiskey with him.
So it turns out that one of the girls got too drunk and called for a ride home, so the party pretty much broke up at that point, so a few of us end up back at my place talking, which includes Maaren and her fiance Richard. Richard basically goes on and on about these bands that we 'MUST' check out, like NOFX and other bands like that. I've checked them out, I'm not into them, I find their music abrasive and their lyric writing is like mental masturbation basically. He then starts going off about the things that suck about my roommate's band and all the changes that he 'has' to make to his band to make it good. Now, some things are sacred, and a guy's band, that's made of of his friends, is a sacred thing, you don't start telling him what to do with it (especially if you're not a musician yourself, but a hipster blowhard).
I need to rant a bit here because this is a bunch of shit I need to get off my chest, so bear with me. So this fiance guy hasn't had a job in almost a year because all of the potential employers are either 'not good enough' for him, or he says he's 'too overqualified' to get the positions. In my opinion, he's a pompous asshole who feels like he's entitled to more than he really is. So instead of taking any job he can get to have money coming in, he sits on his ass, sends out a select few resumes a week, and lets his fiance pay all the bills, including his substantial student loan debt. I'm not sure what she sees in him, because she's a good friend of mine, really nice, and generally doesn't put up with a bunch of bullshit, but this entire relationship is based on bullshit, and on him using her as a means to pay off his bills while he sits around and pretends that he's better than the whole world.
I don't know why girls go after guys who are such total unabashed assholes, it doesn't make sense to me.
