A Recurring Dream Inspired This Rant, Hilarious!

Okay, here's the premise for this rant. A couple of month ago I had a dream where I went out on a blind double date with some friends of mine (not real life friends, dream friends). They set me up with this girl named Heather. She was a really cool girl and very career driven and I thought we had a good time, but we never spoke again after the date. Last night I had a dream and guess who my "dream friends" invited along for a dinner run?? Heather! Now I'm in the dream all pissed off because me and this girl don't really like each other and here we are again out together. What makes it even worse is that my "dream friends" who are b/f and g/f sit at a two person table forcing Heather and I to sit by ourselves. Well of course Heather doesn't like me so she pulls up a chair to the two person table making me feel like an idiot because I was actually looking for another place to sit.

Anyways, all four of us are at the two person table and Heather and I aren't talking at all. Well I'm not, I'm busy munching on some chicken, bacon sandwich (Good taste even in my dreams!) I believe one of my "dream friends" asked Heather how come she doesn't come hang out anymore. I dunno why they asked her that! She launched into this tirade about how she's sooooo career driven and she doesn't have time for fun. She doesn't have time for guys because all they wanna do is play around and play video games and have babies. And she wants to be where she would be at age 32 by the time she's 26 or something like that. I took this as a direct offense and I put my chicken sandwich down and here's what I said to her (not verbatim of course, I don't remember everything, I added a bunch of thoughts from when I woke up) and I will say this to all the other "Heathers" out there!

Why can't you have it all?? Nobody is saying you can't be successful in the world, but you can't forget to enjoy your life. When you look back at everything you've accomplished, do you want to be the person who never went out to eat with her friends or couldn't play around with her friends? Why be so uptight and stubborn? Loosen up sometimes. There's nothing wrong with having fun. I know some women criticize some guys for playing video games or watching cartoons and things like that. Have you ever played a video game?!? They're incredible! Have you ever watched Looney Tunes as an adult?! You pick up on so much crazy stuff, like how Pepe Le Pew is the horniest cartoon character in the world, he never gets any. Enjoy yourself, don't get all pissy at your man if he throws you in the water at the beach... as long as he has the money to get your hair done over, no problem!

You only have one life, and I know that tomorrow isn't promised, but when you look back on your life would you rather have spent that time secluded away from society, constantly focusing on what you're going to do when you get older, and plotting on how to reach that plateau? Or would you rather have spent that time enjoying your life while getting to where you want to be in life? No wonder it's hard out here for successful women to find men. Some of you have forgotten how to have fun (I know it's not only women, some dudes are stick in the muds too, but that's another note). You look at any attempt to be silly and funny as being childish. I say who the hell said you can't act silly and goofy when you're an adult? Children these days are acing grown as hell, so why can't adults get in touch with the kid inside of them? It's okay to get excited about going places, I still get antsy when I go to Busch Gardens and Kings Dominion. I think women grow up too fast, that's why our little girls are fast in the pants because they wanna be grown. You wanna be where a 38 year old is when you're 25, but can you handle a 38 year old woman's responsibilities? Some can, others haven't had enough experiences to get to that point in life.

And stop calling guys who like to have fun "not a real man". Nobody wants to hear that. I look at it like this, as long as the guy takes care of his business and goes to work on Monday morning. Let him have fun! Maybe you should join him, it might improve your relationship.

The motto of this note isn't to discourage you ladies from chasing your dreams because you definitely are on the right paths, I'm just saying, quit being soooo overprotective about it. "no man is gonna stop me from reaching my goal". I'm not trying to, I don't know what foolish man would try to stop you, we just wanna pull you out of that bubble and get you to experience a different side of life for a few hours, we'll put you back in the bubble when the night's over, lol.

WOW! All that from a dream!
