I've been with my partner for ten years now. Do you know how many times we've said to each other "Nope. Ain't doin' it."? It gets easier as you get to know one another. And a few boyfriends before this one, I was told on more than one occassion, "You can come over, but we're watching football." Did I care? No, as long as there was food. Chili on the stove. It's goin' on a baked potato for a good lunch. Who cares if you don’t want to go to the ballet. I’ve been with my partner for ten years now. Do you know how many times we’ve said to each other “Nope.

I didn't mean any harm by my comments. You didn't explain his side and the free tickets either. Now it makes more sense. I don't think you're mean (aside from your self-confessed ability to hold a grudge - smile). I hope you two find something to do that you both enjoy. Having a dating friend is nice.

That is until I saw an article in the local paper about the new men of the portland Ballet. Holy shit, If they're going to dance without shirts, I might have to go have a look see! All four of the new guys were "Jake" Hot! I never thought I would want to see the ballet. That is until I saw an article in the local paper about the new men of the portland Ballet.

You know the type.. tall, lanky, big feet and nose... Anyway, we went on a date to the movies, and beforehand we were having dinner. and dinner conversation. The subject became one about our favorite movies. He said his favorite movie of all time was " Beaches" yeah .... "Beaches" Sorry, I don't care if your superman himself, THAT'S a dealbreaker, plain n simple. So the date ended politely and that was that. He gave me a sore throat for a few days anyway. I'm not sure what the point of this story was but I hate ballet too. Boring. I woulda socked him.

That photo caption reminded me that JAKE is the only one who can say if you are a Monster or not, but if I sounded like a beast...I am truly sorry. Like some others, I may have misunderstood the situation. However, I NEVER believed you were unkind or mean. Granny would not have raised you to be that way. Forgive me...please. And, whatever you guys do...Have a Wonderful Time! LOL.

I made no comments on his character. I felt he shouldn't use TV or movies as a pre-judgment to live performance ballet, keep an open mind, and go see it. Someone asked about opera. I was fairly certain I wouldn't like opera. My partner likes opera, and he didn't care much for ballet. So we compromised and got season tickets to both the Met and the NYC Ballet. We have our own cross-cultural appreciation thing going on. I'm glad we did it. We're teaching each other. We talk about our likes and dislikes, and answering each other's questions during intermission and after the performance. I'm starting to open up more to opera. I still think ballet has a higher hottie quotient.... By the way, my partner is an attorney, if that makes any difference. I'll tell you what made my "needle slide off the record." KETCHUP ON GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES?!? WTF! I guess I need to take my own advice and try it out. I don’t think I was unfairly judging Tony in my previous post. I made no comments on his character.

I have been prone to ignite one a time or two. I wouldn't mind seeing a ballet at all. I think it would relax me... which I desperatedly need because I am always so tense. I think you should go along and suck it up. I think your real problem is not wanting to dress up. I hear ya brother! I don't really like dressing up myself. Well... have a good weekend. I'll be in Dallas cutting up with some bloggers. BIG HUG. Damn boy…. you generated a controversy that got a lot of posts. ;) Good for you! I have been prone to ignite one a time or two.

Do you think we're inherently evil? Is Satan in my keyboard? We must change our ways, it's certainly given me cause to stop and momentarily reflect on my own conduct and consider a less self-centred approach in relation to others. I atone and repent unreservedly. "When Momma ain't happy, aint nobody happy" and we can't have that can we? It's like a big blog-rehab for wrong-thinkers. Am I blog-born again? I feel cleansed!
