I was featured on a breast-feeding advocacy blog
I’m back, but probably not for long. I seem to be having commitment issues as of late. Don’t break up with me though. It’s me, not you.
Things are uncomfortable here and my bottle of anxiety medication contains about three more hours of freedom from nervous breakdowns so I’ve begun supplementing with alcohol. Now that I’ve actually written that sentence I can tell that things are going to go downhill from here. I should probably clarify: I don’t drink with the medication, just instead of the medication. Wow. I sound like an alcoholic. Hell, at least I have a hobby.
It’s times like these that make me wish Jerry Springer was still on air–I need a visual and audible frame of reference that makes me take a deep breath and remember that things can always be worse.
At least I’m not a 792 lb. man in a tiny pink thong prancing around a harshly-lit stage in front of hundreds of people screaming, “take it off!” while my man boobs sway to and fro in a Cross Your Heart bra as I debate whether or not to reveal the glory of my manroot on national TV, as it will unfortunately be blurred out, but will be featured on Jerry Springer PPV for those who care to spend $9.99 to see all that I’ve got going on.
Yeah. At least that’s not me.
For now, the surplus of male enhancement commercials are doing a decent job of keeping me occupied. At least I’m not on TV brazenly announcing that I need a larger penis in order to satisfy my lover. And at least I’m not his lover speaking saucily about that certain part of the male body and how women all over the world should pick up a bottle of the miracle pill and present it to their men. Yeah, I’m sure that would bring soaring self-esteem, joy, and harmony to all relationships.
What the hell is going on with those commercials? We can watch people hump on non-cable channels and every other day the leading news headline is “Sexy Teacher Gets Busy with Student” but we have to use euphemisms for penises? They can use a minute of my time elaborating on the need for hours upon hours of mind-numbing sex and porn-star proportions, but we have to call it the certain part of the male body? We exist in a very odd place in time.
Clearly, I’ve found the silver lining in the shithole where my life currently resides. At least my nightly prayers to God can thank him for my lack of participation in the Get Yourself a Huge Penis, Get Your Gigantic Penis Here commercials and my narrow escape from Jerry Springer infamy. He either has a shitload of faith in my ability to slug through the muck to make it to solid ground or he’s pissed that I’m thanking him only for helping me not humiliate myself on television.
Jerry Springer, male enhancement, and God. That could be the root of all of my problems. God should help me invent a perfect male enhancement pill and Jerry Springer can be the tester who will then sell it on an infomercial.
P.S. I know the title has nothing to do with this post. The truth is that I sat here for 30 minutes alternating between watching Forensic Files and thinking about how to title this post, and somewhere in that time I received an email notifying me that one of my posts was linked to on a breast-feeding blog. Those people are out of their damned minds linking to anything I write as advice for those who have little people (midgets and babies alike) suckling on their tatas.
P.P.S. I’ve received some awards recently and for those of you who’ve bestowed the honor upon me please realize that I suck and though I will love you forever, I probably will never do what I’m supposed to do with them.
Thank you and goodbye.
