Today was the final episode of Scott Baio is 45 and Single. Overall the show was not that great but I thought about 90% of the stuff he said was dead on. I feel pretty much the same way. I am not against women or anything like that, as I am often accused. I am against boredom.
My biggest fear in life is boredom. That is why I seem to move around a lot and why I get bored with women fast. I am a “grass is greener” type of person. Always afraid to settle on ANYTHING for fear there is something better I may miss. A place to live, a girl…whatever. I have sabotaged relationships because of this…mohawk’s, beards you name it.
Staying eternally single had nothing to do with chasing girls. Sure it’s nice to meet a attactive girl and hang out or whatever. But most of the time I just want to be left alone and I just feel like there is too much to being with a girl. I can’t handle it, I freak out and feel suffocated. I just want to wake up every day and answer to nobody but me. I can’t move where I want or do anything I want without considering that other person. Too me that just sucks.
Baio had it right until tonight. He was afraid to settle because it’s too much. When talking about his wedding he sounded EXACTLY like I would. It’s too much work…I don’t want to. He made statements like…”One day you wake up and your girl looks like a dude.” No…freaks me out. What if I commit to you but then I meet the raddest chick ever the next week. F*ck! Again, freaks me out.
Tonight Baio folded and asked his chick to marry him AND found out he is going to be a dad. So I guess he was screwed either way. Plus the guy is 45. I mean I don’t want to be out on the scene at 45 either, that’s just weird. Who knows maybe I will end up like Johhny V but that would be awful.
But in the end Baio proved that I am not completely wrong for rejecting the “normal” life. You can do your thing longer than most and still be ok in the end. But I have to say I was still a bit bummed by Baio. I guess I have 13 more years left. F*cking Chachi!
I understand, I actually am a fan of the show. I have the finale episode on TIVO, but because my work schedule takes over my life I have yet to sit down and watch the season finale. Baio could have been single for the rest of his life, but after a certain age the girls will stop coming especially if you still like the 20 somethings. Once you get a girl, that is understanding of your well need space and alone time, (wants her’s too) you are both compatible in bed and enjoy some (not all) of the same things I dare you to give it a chance, the grass might be greener on the other side but your not getting any younger! lol I am going to make sure and check up on you in 5 years to see if you have girlfriend yet! lol Keep me posted.
You are dead.
