Tran and the Wolf
I looked over the summary of “The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of the Pickup Artist” a few weeks ago when you mentioned it on your “away message,” so I know it’s you because I’m nosey like you are. I also thought it might be a nice gag gift for a friend who has what I call “Coleco Game,” or out-of-date game. But it’s not that I have problems finding or meeting women, it’s the longevity of it – 2 to 3 weeks then off to someone new. It is exhausting having to be charming and witty for such a long time, I like to extend myself to my other Seven Dwarf alter egos: Dumby, Cranky, and Don’t Talk to Me, ESPN is on.
But with that said, it leads me to a story. When the guys and I went out to the bars, KC said, “It’s nice to look at the scenery and not get smacked for it.” KC has a live-in, pregnant girlfriend. And sometimes he lives to listen to a story about one of my outings. He said to me, “It must be great being out there, seeing all those girls.”
I told him, no, and he didn’t understand so I told him my theory, “KC, you’re the house dog. You get sit in front of a nice warm fire, occasionally you play fetch to entertain your owner, but you do it, because every night you get to eat Alpo. It might be the same meal, you might even get bored of it from time to time, but you’ll never go hungry. I on the other hand am a wolf. I live in the cold, bleak world. I make my home in caves and the hollows of trees. I roam constantly, looking for food. Sometimes I eat squirrel, wild turkey, possum, raccoons, deer, and sometimes even a pig. Yes, I have the variety in my diet, but I don’t eat every night. Deep down I want to be like you, that Alpo dog – warm with a full belly, except I don’t want my Alpo pregnant flavored – that’s why I Saran Wrap my food.”

Domestication, for me, means no more games. I’m too old for games, I’m looking for something that I can put my trust in because there are more important things for me to worry about in this world than if the woman likes me, is stealing from me, is manipulating me, or is cheating on me. There are bills, W-2s, and vacations to be planned. I’m also a teacher, and there have been 3 other teachers that are pregnant or have pregnant significant others. The world isn’t ready for ‘Little Tran’s’ to be running around. Wrap it up or suck down the pill.
About the dog – there is something all encompassing about the dog. They’re primal, they’re affectionate, they’re loyal, and they hump your leg. It’s the animal that can both be savage, and yet beloved. And like a man, at times it can stink like hell – but in the end, you still love him. Thanks for the comments, and I hoped that answered your question Boo. Yellow Power!
