Affluent Men And My Great Sense Of Humor
I'm not poor, but I definitely won't be ordering a custom Escalade anytime soon. I mean, when I'm laughing all the way to the bank it's usually to keep myself from crying. I'm not saying I'm completely broke, but I'm badly bent, if you know what I mean. I always think that it must be so much easier for affluent men to find dates. All they have to do is put an ad on a wealthy dating site and they probably have a hundred women a day sending them emails. Well, at least that's they way I imagine it must be.
You always read that the quality women find most attractive in a man is a good sense of humor. If that were true, I should be sitting in a hot tub with about twenty women right now. I'm a funny guy. Well, maybe my humor doesn't quite fit everyone's tastes, but at least I make myself laugh. It seems, however, that I'm probably better off just having a big bank account.
This is usually the time of year when I get most stressed about stuff like this. With Xmas coming and all the added expense, I start to feel a bit like I'd rather just be lying on a beach, cathching a tan and forgetting about all the stresses this time of year can bring. Of course, it all goes back to the money thing and my jealousy of affluent men.
I really shouldn't complain. I have a lot of fun at my job and I make enough money to get by. My dad always said that if you don't like what you've got, then you should shut up and go out and get whatever it is that you want. At one point in my life I thought that I might be able to make a pretty good living writing love songs but, as it turns out, rhyming moon and June in clever ways is harder than you might think. I also thought about becoming a lawyer, but I'm too willing to believe that everything people tell me is true. It would probably go something like this:
"Where were you on the night of the 17th?"
"At my Mom's house. I'm innocent."
"Oh. Okay then."
You see what I mean? It wouldn't have worked. For now, I'll just stick to what I'm doing and try not to complain about it too much. And I'll try not to be jealous of all those guys with great senses of humor - I mean big bank accounts!
