He's old and funny. She's young and hot. It makes sense no?

Ok. So I’ll admit this. I have made many digs at, comments about and even entire T-pisodes about dating young chicks. About banging young chicks. About hanging out with young chicks. And all the drama they have caused me. So many stories about all their craziness. Tales about their annoying immaturity. Why I think they are all stupid. Their lack of life experience. How they have no common sense. But hey, I have complimented their young hot bodies! A lot. And the great sex with them! I just want to take the time to use this T-pisode to realign my stance on young chicks. My stance on the “Age Difference” factor when it comes to dating. Recent life events, dates, self reflection and the women themselves in my life have made me reconsider my stance. Smell that wood burning??? That’s some good ol’ T thinking! I’m going on record right now. Ready? Here is my T “Age Difference” Statement: When it comes to dating someone younger than you just make sure that person breaks all the age difference stereotypes.

That’s a crazy ass statement T!!! Yeah. It sure is! Impossible you say? Not entirely. Her going against young chick typecast is the only way you’ll know that none of that young shit will never become a problem. Now that’s not to say all the other normal dating problems won’t occur. That happens anyways. But at least you know it isn’t because of the age difference. Or because you or her are blaming it on the age difference. So up front you have to feel her out. There will be signs right away if she is going to go young bat shit crazy on your ass eventually. You’ll be able to see the red flags all over the field. So you need to look for the good stuff right away. Then you’ll know her young ass just might not be crazy. T did some due diligence for your ass! Here’s what you need to look for up front:

Her Upbringing
How was she raised? Good? Bad? Raised herself? Spoiled by her parents? Even if her childhood was bad does she appreciate who she is now at this age? She has to be humble. Look for that quality.

Her Attitude
It has to be good. Positive. Sweet. Fun. Selfless. Mature. An old soul even. Basically the girl looks 24 but acts like she’s 54.

Her Intelligence
She may not have gone to college. Or may even still be in college. That is all great. Book smarts are great. But real intelligence comes from living your life. And even though I was a good student and put myself through college, my living life intelligence has a thousand times more value than my college education. So she can still be smart without all the framed degrees. Trust me.

Her Ambition
Does she love life?! Want more out of life? Has the passion to be something. To see something. She has to be able to say something.

And above all us…it’s really about how you two feel about each other. No one else’s feelings or opinions matter. Remember this.

That last one is key in all relationships of course. The like/lust/love factor for each other will make all the bullshit go away. Regardless if there is an age difference or not. But let’s be realistic. This shit might work if the age gap is of certain ages between the two. Nobody would really give a shit if one person was 25 and the other was 40. Like some Don Draper type shit! It’s also doable if one is in their early 20s and the other is in their early 30s. You make the call for yourselves. But like 18 and 35? Oh hell nawww! That’s just crazy. That won’t work. Different worlds there. And it’s true fellas, women really do mature faster than us guys. So as a fella myself I can really only speak about going for younger chicks. You older women messing with younger guys, just remember how stupid us guys are in general. Because we’re even dumber when we’re young! Because I can be stupid now as a grown man so just think about how stupid I was when I was younger. Actually you can just search T-blawg to find out. So that’s that. The “Age Difference” conquered. Now go play.

Until next time. Always take it there.

I had to bust out an old T-blawg T-pisode with all this shit that’s going around because some ignorant fools are giving real Boston sports fans a bad rap with the racist shit they’re saying because of Joel Ward’s Game 7 winning goal against the Bruins. I put on for Boston. Read the entire T-pisode. But most importantly read the last Boston Law section on racism. Thanks.

BOSTON LAW

Winter came hard. That's what she said.

I had my ass handed to me this past Winter. In almost every way possible. Now I am not going to turn this T-pisode into a bitch session because that is not how T rolls. Let me tell you about my Winter and then I will drop my lessons learned from it on yo’ ass. From late April 2011 to early December 2011 I was on an epic run. EPIC. I sat down with a major Hollywood studio and convinced them to take my Family Adventure movie treatment and they wanted to see 10 pages of it. Awesome! So I wrote them and turned them in. I was dating some “almost” normal women who had my attention and were definitely worth my time. One of my bestest bros got married and I was in one of the greatest weddings ever, topped off with the greatest flash mob dance to Katy Perry’s “Firework” to ever assemble under one roof! The Bruins won The Cup. The Sox became the best team in baseball. The Pats became a Super Bowl contender. I had signed on to work for the greatest and highest paying job of my career. I had an amazing time in jolly ol’ London. My birthday was another epic birthday party even though I almost died. As usual. And finally it looked like I was primed for one hell of a holiday run and the best Winter ever. Then boom. The train fell off the tracks.

What happened? Are you ready? Let’s get the small potatoes out of the way first. Forget the Sox epic collapse and the Pats Super Bowl loss. The women came and went. That’s what T said. One gave me “The Fadeout” which was some lame ass shit. Whatever. Water under the bridge. The major studio came back with a “We love this idea. You can write. You have something. But we can’t do anything with you right now. Stay in touch.” That was a punch in the face. So I trekked through Christmas with the family being the tough son, brother, cousin, uncle, single guy T everyone expected. I dealt with it. That’s what I always do. That all sucked but I put on my game face. After Christmas weekend I had the Friday before New Year’s off. I wanted to lick my wounds with my boys. Except none of them were around. The holidays, marriage, kids, vacation…hey I get it. They were busy. So I had two options that Thursday night. Stay in or get into some T trouble. I went with the latter of course. I met up with a girl and had an amazing time. Amazing. We had natural chemistry and we both smiled the entire time. Sure we didn’t make sense being together on paper but that didn’t matter to either of us at the time. We had such a good time together I didn’t want it to end. “Wait T? How is that bad???” you’re wondering. I’ll get there people. I went to my cousin’s house like I always do that New Year’s Eve. My family was there. We ate. We drank. We had fun. My mother was there as well. But not in the best shape this year. My mother has had a variety of health issues her entire life. The past 2 years brought another new health issue. She didn’t look well at all. My mother and the rest of my immediate family left and one of my old school Eastie boys, my cousins and I got blasted. BLASTED! I only did because seeing my mother like that killed me inside. The next day I was hungover as fuck but I got to see that girl again. We had another great day. Then she went out of town for a while and when she came back, she didn’t want anything to do with me. WTF?! I know she had her reasons but that really sucked for me too. On top of all that we found out that my mother had some serious health issues in addition to the existing serious health issues! I would spend the next 6 weeks that Winter on doctors appointments with her. Spent a shit load of time trying to get answers. Stressed trying to make sense of things. And then she had to have a major operation. While all of this was going on a few friends & family members stepped up. Others were almost nowhere to be found. I was surprised and disappointed. But I trekked on.

So even though the Boston weather this Winter was mild my life got hit with storm after storm. It was friggin’ nuts this past Winter man! But I dealt with it like I always had since I had to man up at the age of 7. My sister, my cousin, his wife, my old Eastie pal, my longest Bullpen girl and my “west coast family” were there every step of the way though. Even my lady friend out in LA made sure I had a good time with her when I went out there in February. My mother has made a somewhat recovery since the Winter ended. More to come. I’ll get more shots at Hollywood I know. I really miss that amazing girl even though I shouldn’t. But I do. But hey…it’s Spring right?! And I love the Spring! A fresh start. So the train is on the tracks again. Full speed ahead. T style is back of course! But what did I learn? Absolutely SHIT! I joke! I joke! I learned that even though I can pretty much handle almost anything on my own it’s nice when people who matter come over and lift some of the weight with me. Don’t just sit around thinking your pal can handle things on his/her own people! A text here and there. A phone call here and there. A Facebook comment or tweet…none of these things will ever compare to a “Hey pal. I’m on my way. We’re going out! Whatever you need. I got you.” Be there for a friend. Like BE there. In person. I’ll never let a friend down. And now I know to make sure I know what’s going on in the lives of the people I care about as much as possible. Because maybe some of them didn’t know how bad I was really hurting this Winter. So make every effort possible to help someone you care about weather their own Winter like I will from now on. Lessons learned!

Until next time. Always take it there.
