In Which Lennon Apologizes For Not Posting For a While.....

Well, I know I've been away for a while, but there's a specific reason for that. I make it my business to disappear at least a month prior to Valentine's Day. Though I do, at the very least, keep contact with women I'm seeing (sleeping with), I don't go out on dates or anything that could be considered a date until February 16. In my experiences, going out with a woman more than once too close to Feb. 14 can sometimes present the wrong idea: that they're getting something special for Valentine's Day. And this is going to sound awful, but....it's just not going to happen. It's not that I'm "too good" to do something special. If I were in a committed relationship and my partner wanted something special, I'd almost certainly oblige. For all I care, we could have rooftop candlelight dinner with origami cranes hanging off the moon and a private concert from Prince. But outside of relationships, me doing anything special just ends badly later. The upside of to this year's "cuffing season" is that it ended with the coming of All Star Weekend.

For those of you that don't follow basketball....once a year, the best players in the NBA are assembled into two teams representing the East and the West who play each other for a couple of hours while celebrities from everywhere get their pictures taken being...well...celebrities. This year, these events took place here in Houston. What did this mean for the common people? A few things.....

1). Any club that a celebrity makes an appearance in will automatically have a $50 cover charge. In case you asked....yes, people actually pay this much money. No, the celebrities don't give you a complimentary rimjob upon entry. And yes, people STILL pay this much money. Because people are stupid.

2). Historically, an assembly of rich athletes such as this one almost certainly attracts (some...not all) women willing to sleep with them just for being famous. Try to imagine the Running of the Bulls in Spain, but instead of bulls, the streets are flooded with golddiggers and groupies.

3). This many desperate women on the prowl means that there's a pretty good chance that plenty of everyday men who play their cards right can get lucky.

4). Since All Star Weekend gave me plenty of material to expound upon, I'll have plenty to share with you all for the next couple of entries.

Stay Tuned.....
