So, I have been super excited about writing this post for the last few weeks, and here it is (finally). This is my (our) first attempt at "co-blogging". I'll let Meathead handle the introductions, and then we can go from there (myself in pink and Meathead in blue).
I first met Goose (that would be me... for obvious reasons) our freshmen year in college. She was dating the 9 foot tall kid who lived next door (Ugh, you had to go there Meathead) and would off come hang out with my black roommate and me because we were much, much cooler. Well he was, I was just his half Jewish roommate, but combined we were the most amount of minority in a single room John Carroll had ever seen. We quickly became friends and realized we had some things in common. Mainly a love for vodka and Clone High, and Vegas. Throughout our 4 years at THE Jesuit University of C-town we maintained our friendship b/c of our shared interests and also that we were both able to coast through school, maintaining good grades while not really ever studying (Thank you communications program). After graduation we kept our friendship going because in order to survive our work lives we needed to email each other (constantly)... So here we are now. Two friends, with varying opinions on pretty much everything but respect for the others thoughts... Plus on top of all that... we're hilarious (like really hilarious).
I think it might be the Comm. Majors in us, but we like to debate, and do so constantly and purposefully. We go to each other for advice and opinions knowing that they will more than likely be different from our own (don't try to deny it Mister "How can you watch the Jersey Shore?"). We hardly ever change each others' minds, but we always open the other's eyes. Meathead will probably never get me to fully understand just how amazing soccer is (supposedly), and there is probably little to no chance of him giving the Real Housewives of New Jersey the respect they deserve (but at least he kind of knows their names now).
....well maybe not their names but at least I know what "bubbies" means (obviously “bubbies” would stick in his head). As for soccer, come June you'll understand Goose. I challenge anyone to watch the world cup and not get caught up in everything that is good about Futbol, but that's for another time (blah, blah, blah).
Goose is right... Our opposing opinions have helped each other, mostly because if anyone else in the world told me maybe I was wrong about something I'd completely ignore and blow them off. I respect Goose's opinions. I mean anyone who "mixes their vodka with ice" can't be wrong too often. I am terrible with moderation (ditto) so we figured if some of us separately is good, more of us together should be amazing. At least in my mind.
So here is the important part for all of our lovely readers. Do you have questions? Need for an opinion from the opposite sex? Have a topic that is constantly debated that need resolution? With two serial monogamists with an expertise in alcohol, debauchery, Vegas, relationships, life in general..
