Now I know what a caged animal feels like after being freed...

I will apoligize in advance for the somewhat serious nature of this post. Now on to the goodness...

So I hope by now everyone has seen the new movie "Free Willy." Pretty sure it just came out. And if you haven't seen it yet, you should. I think it's still in theatres. Someday this movie will be a classic. I don't know how they got Michael Jackson to sing the title song from his grave but he did a great job as well. My favorite part is the ending when "Willy" is freed by the little asshole kid who spray painted "Willy's" house. After a wild chase, "Willy" is superimposed jumping over a huge jetti jumps over a large jetti to get himself to freedom. You should see the look on that whales face. Pure joy. You can't fake that kind of joy.

I now know that feeling. And it feels absolutely wonderful. As some of you may know, late last year I ended a 4 year relationship. I will not bash my ex as I am not bitter and she overall is a nice human being. I learned a lot from that relationship. Unfortunately I had to learn those lessons the hard way(BTW is there an easy way to learn things in life, I am unaware of it). The first little while after the breakup was extremely hard. But over the last month or so I have not felt better in my life. I'm starting to be the real Gato Negro again. A friend of mine even said to me, "you've been less of a pussy lately." My friends are so uplifting.

Anyway when Willy was released back into the wild he could do whatever he wanted. Hunt seal, jump around in the ocean, swim with friends, whatever his heart desired.

Now that I'm over that whole situation I too can hunt seal(women), jump around in the ocean(play golf), and swim with friends(drink with friends). I can do what I want. I did not enjoy the single life at first, now I am embracing it and actually enjoying myself. I am similar to "Willy" or any animal being released back to the wild. You have to learn the way the world works again. The adult dating world is interesting, that's for sure. The last time I became single after a long term relationship was back in college and I went on a 5 year bender of booze and women. And a perfect example of my bender is my previous post. There will be many more stories to be told. While I don't plan on going another 5 years without a girlfriend, I do plan on attacking the single life with the same tenacity as I did 9 years ago. My ridiculous thoughts, crazy sayings and general obnoxiousness is coming back HARD. I guess you can take the beast out of the wild, but you can't take the wild out of the beast. I just compared myself with a killer whale, a beast and used the words attack and tenacity when talking about "single life." This is normal right? Long story short being single is fun again and I will dominate life once again. The above picture is a metaphor for what I plan on doing to the single life. I will soon write a blog about single girls as I find them to be hilarious and "hot messes".

A married friend, with whom I will not mention for fear his wife could read this, said something that was so insightful while cracking a joke that I actually stopped and thought about it. He said "I am rooting for you, you just got a second chance at life." When I really thought about it, he is 100% correct. I could be caught in some shitty marriage that makes me miserable, like most married people. Instead I get to start over and be that Orca that slays seals and jumps jetties. And unlike Willy my dorsel fin isnt bent. HA! I owe it to my idiot friends who got married married friends to make the best of this second chance at life. I owe them stories after every weekend. I will not do this for me, but for all those guys who married for love and now hate their wives lives.
