The 12 Days of Singlehood
Starting today there are only 12 days until the wife and unborn child lands at O'hare Intl and the three of us start a new life. For the child, it's literally a new life. For the wife, it's a new country, a new culture, new people, and a new family.It's a little less clear for me. I'll still have the same job, the same friends, the same flat, and the same car, but my life will be totally different. So, in an effort to come to terms with my life changes, I'm having my 12 Days of Singlehood starting today.
12 girls
12 things I will say goodbye to
12 memories
Starting now:
Well, the first on the docket is the most obvious. Goodbye to going out.
Tossing back pints of Newcastle while listening to 80's rock with ringing ears at the Cactus Club ...
Fighting down Belgian Ales at the Onopa ...
Ordering White Russians from the hot Thai bartendress at the Dragon Lounge ...
Drinking Tekate and playing video games at the Landmark ...
Drinking even more Newcastle and flirting with girls at the Garage and Hi-Hat ...
Watching the hot Riverwest dancing girls at the Mad Planet on 80's night ...
Watching the game with my buddies at Tangerine ...
Striking up a conversation at the Nomad ...
Going to the Vox because we've run out of other places to go ...
Spending Christmas night with the barflys at Ynot II ...
Trying to ignore the bad, white-boy, hippie blues at the Up and Under ...
Getting a bar stool at 3 ...
Getting refused admission to Eve ...
Standing outside a bar in the freezing cold for an hour just to get in ...
But most of all, I'll miss that rare moment when I walk into one of these places, see a gorgeous women, smile, and have her smile back.
