It seems my wife is having trouble getting through to me. She keeps telling me I don’t listen to her. When we argue I usually interrupt what she is saying when I think I understand her point. She interprets this as me being rude and not hearing here out. She thinks I need patience to wait for the other person to finish what they’re saying first before responding back. Yeah right. So let me get this straight: I’m gonna wait for her to finish making her completely irrelevant point which in no way helps our argument. Allow me to give an example.
How long should I wait? Ahhhhh….this is where the hearing comes in and a little patience. I’m getting it. IIIII’m getting it. A few more years and I’ll have all of this shtuff figured out.

Mike, When you figure women out, can you let the rest of us know the secret?

Yes Please do that. Wait I thought you had the mind reading, superpower!!! Hey, you dog, you made Tomoko-sam go pick rice!?!?! Shame shame shame.

I don’t tell her to pick rice. She does it on her own so she can use it against me when we argue. No seriously, she does stuff with the Buddhist group like cleaning the train station toilets at 5:00AM on a Saturday morning. I think she uses that against me. She says the point of doing it so early is so know one knows. It makes you feel like you are doing something good without feeling you have to tell someone you’re doing it. However, she let’s me know right when she gets home.

When’s the last time we went out for a drink? You didn’t accompany me the last three times I went to Licky & Tomatoes. I’d say that shows you really have been behaving. By the way, I’m very happy you’re back at the music again. We’ll have to figure out when we can get together and jam.

Going out. That sounds fun. I just went to the library and rented a video. Now I’m about to play Civilization and drink some beer. Then dinner and a movie. My Sundays. Add some music to the mix and I’ve got a new world. Although nothing really beats the happy head dildo at Licky’s.

PS: Maybe we can all jam on ejamming.com.
