Whitey's Back

Was he in jail? Did he leave the country? Did he choose internet porn over the blog? What was going on during the two month hiatus? Was he suspended from computer use by the warden? Well given the choice...write on the blog or do Google searches for this years up and coming starlet...Those darn starlets always win.
On to the topic of weddings. I have now been the best man in two weddings, been in a total of six weddings, and have two more to come.This calendar year alone I have been in and attended seven weddings. That is a sad commentary on the quality of friends my friends have....to make me the best man three times in my life? I feel very lucky to have been chosen three times. I just wish guys all wore the same tuxedo to every wedding. The average tuxedo rental is 175.00. Multiply that by six times folks and that over a thousand bucks!! What a racket these formal wear joints have. Atleast girls get to keep their dresses..even though they will never wear them again usually. Now I have to admit what I did to my tux after the last wedding I was in. I got home that night after driving over 100 miles, and felt the need to get my 175.00 worth. I blew my nose in the shirt. I used the jacket as a towel after I washed my hands. Nothing too crazy so that they could charge me extra. They had a nice surprise in the shoes when they found a couple of sardines though. That made me feel a whole lot better. Not 175.00 better, but better. I have big plans for the next tuxedo I rent. Big plans folks. Look for the post on March 19th for the full story.
This past wedding was great, because I got to see childhood friends again, as well as be best man for my best friend. It stunk in a way because I could not hit the sauce the way I normally would because I had to drive 100 miles and obviously was not going to have any alcohol. I think it really surprised some or all of my friends, because they probably have not seen me without an alcoholic beverage of some sort at any social function. They also reminded me of some stories I had forgotten about and will share with you as time goes on. I was looking through some pictures recently of me at family or holiday get togethers and without fail I have a drink in my hand. In a weird way I am pretty proud of that.
