Halloween Parade of Men

As I look back on the Men in my life, I am getting caricature pictures of them in my head. We all try to consolidate the good, the bad and the ugly into something we can make sense of and then move on...so here is my Halloween Parade of Men.

The Husband - 1989-1993
BIKER DUDE



Met at a party, 2 weeks later we moved in together, got married 8 months later, had a daughter 9 months after that, Divorced in 3 years. Not much more to say here than thanks for Kate, the best thing in my life.


The New Boyfriend/Fiance 1993-2001
The Charmer




Charismatic, entertaining and exciting..Think Humphrey Bogart/Frank Sinatra  with the bad reputation and behaviors of Jack Nicholson. This guy did it all..he could dance..and I mean ..tap dance, play the drums and he could sing too. God was he fun..but what a heartbreak it was when it ended.

The Bachelor #1 - 2005-2007
Pirate Bastard



Sailor who drank too much and loved the ocean. We were perfect together.
A northerner ..thank god..and we had the bahamas in common as well.
Couldnt make a decision, sabateur,white lie teller and overall neurotic mess. Two needy people..who couldnt make it happen for one another no matter how hard we tried.

The Bachelor #2 - 2007-2008
SPORTS FANATIC/JOCK



What a doll...we both loved sports and had work in common too.
So nice and sweet and caring...but had a dark side I was unaware of.
Big Crisis..Chaos ensued..I got dumped without getting dumped..still friends but act as if we never had a relationship. Very weird and frustrating..he is still a bachelor and I am still confused.

The Bachelor #1 - 2008 - Current (that is questionable)
The Pirate Bastard AGAIN!





Yes..I know..its that love hate thing...We hate to love each other and we Love to Hate each other. Right now ..I hate to love him and he loves to hate me! We switch back and forth...absolutely dysfunctional..an intervention is needed.

So now I am at the point where I dont have any Boyfriends..meaning men i have intimate relationships with ..Only male friends that i know from work.
One in particular is the reason why this post has been created. I wrote this post..to figure out some way of putting the words BUCK WILD into my blog. So here it goes.

The Business Associate 200?-current (not sure when we were in Lauderdale with your old friends)
BUCK WILD (this pic is actually a real costume named Buck Wild)




This particular man is married and we are friends/business associates and that is ALL!! He has been married for a zillion years and I am so in awe of that! He is the reason why I started My Best Day Ever..because he was the one who reached out and offered me help. He is a positive force and a wonderful friend. We have the most hilarious business lunches and we need to have more. Buck Wild is his wishful thinking, wannabe Porn Star name. He makes us call him that! Even his guy friends...or what he lovingly refers to them as his Bromances..lol

Get out of that man cave, take off the manzier, Festivus is upon us ..lets Party!!! This ones for you Buck!

  1. Men! Can't live with 'em. Can't live with 'em.

    They all have their issues.

    I relate to the sports guy, all sweet and nice, but without the dark side.

  3. Yep. There's something wrong with everyone. You just have to decide if you can stand it every day for the rest of your life or not.

  7. OMG-you have me on the floor with this one...oh it makes me remember all the weird guys I dated, like the jock who cheated on me or the wrestling fanatic who made me mow his lawn. Craziness, that's men in a nutshell!

  21. Super creative post that I really enjoyed reading. Seriously, that was entertainment.

  22. I soo loved this post! However If I attempted to do the same, the parade between Hubby #1 (The Cheating Bastard) and Hubby #2 (The Loving Cuddly Bear)--who is still my Hubby 26 years later--well, that parade would be embsarrassingly long! Needless to say, a cast of thousands--well, not quite, but more than I care to admit! (Went through a little promiscuous spell there--it was the 70s and early 80s)
    Just stopped by from SITS to say hi; hope you will do the same.

  23. Hey, I'm stopping by from Matty's to say hello. This post was hysterical and reminded me of a few guys I dated before hubby. Oy! You can't live with 'em and you can't shoot 'em.

    Nice to meet you . I'll be back again soon.

  24. I could totally topple this with some of the morons I've dated. And that's not counting the down-right dangerous! I came from bad-boy stock (my dad) and was related to it (my brother) and dated them for years, taking their crap. Thankfully I grew out of it and married one of the good guys. I allow bad-guy to permeate me imaginatively only nowadays - in books and errm - cough - the odd intimate fantasy ;)X
