My Caution
So I tried and tried to get out of Athens. Constantly saying that it was just too small of a city to find anything interesting to do, well I may have been wrong. Not about Athens not having much to do, but what it was that I liked to do. It seems now that I am in a bigger city that I am just not cut out for it. I have been faced with some unusual situations that never would have happened in Athens. Maybe I am just not a big city person, or maybe I have just fallen in with the wrong type of people. Me and some friends were hanging out tonight and put of nowhere one of them decided it would be awesome to go to a strip club.......ok, whatever I figured I would tag along. But then they came up with, what they thought, was an even better idea. Since apparently there was a pretty hefty fee just to get into the strip club, they decided that we were all gonna just pick up some prostitutes......umm...what!!! It was just weird how they saw it as no big deal, but to me it was completely crazy. I told them I wasn't going to do that and of course they proceeded to call me the name that everyone knows a guy is called when he refuses to take a risk. For those of you who don't know, it rhymes with wussy. No you all may be wondering why on earth I am writing about this, well, I have a question I need to ask everyone. Is it me that is the strange one, or is it them. Since it seemed like no big deal to them it just makes me feel like the oddball. Like the one who after 22 years still refuses to take any kind of risk. In this particular situation I trust in my decision to not do it, but its not just this situation. I'm talking about taking a risk anytime. Those of you who know me well know that I am generally a very cautious person and I am afraid that being who I am is preventing me from truly enjoying life. I know this isn't one of my usual posts, but I really need some help on this one.

I never thought I'd get a chance to answer this one, but here it goes :)Your just a good guy whose cautious about his heart and.. other things. But to make an analogy to members of the opposite sex (specially when involving strip clubs & prostitues,) Women are like Weapons... Like Guns, knives, or even big swords :) Yeah they're real pretty to look at behind a glass case (strip bar) But If you go handling one that you know has been really well used (prostitute) Then you may end up shooting or gutting yourself...(Venereal Disease.) Weapons don't have to be brand knew, but if they've been exposed to too-much action they might misfire due to wear and tear, causing you injury :) Also Strips clubs can suck up money reeeaaalllll fast. And they really don't care about you... just the money. "Lower your standards and date more"
Hi Jason, The Aunt has called me in to advise on this one. She doesn't have much experience with hookers and strip clubs (at least I don't think she does).
Anyway, don't think you are not a risk taker. You've taken a huge risk in moving to AZ and pursuing a career. That's a great risk to take. Hookin up with a prostitute is a dumb risk. And strip clubs (the last I remember) are usually lame. Let's just say not all the girls are 10s and there ain't no air brushing live.
There are plenty of ways to enjoy life. Not that I'm an authority - my life truely sucks at times - but I am quite happy NOT going to strip clubs and NOT hangin with ho's. Now a nice slut who doesn't make you pay - that's the way to go. Just be careful - no bathroom condoms!
And remember....when someone calls you a *ussy - you are bigger than they are and can kick their ass if you choose.
I think I kind of agree with The Uncle. You can't say that you're not a risk taker after moving yourself out there to go to school and everything. Obviously, you're a risk taker who just happens to be smarter than the losers you were hanging out with the other night.
I'll be the first to admit that I don't know the first thing about strip clubs. I don't go to them and that's my own choice. But, I do happen to know that hookers are (generally) illegal and that your cousin won't be coming out there to bail you out of jail if you get caught with a hooker. If you get caught with a hooker, I think you deserve to sit in jail.
You know, the more I read your blog, the more I realize that you are a really fantastic person... not just my goofball little cousin anymore. I'm proud of the fact that you know that this crap is wrong - and that you're man enough to stand up and say when you know something's wrong! It's too bad those other guys can't say the same thing.
