Acting Without the Drama

November 8, 2009.  Last night I organized a guy’s night out for a few men from my church.  It was all-you-can-eat sushi.

There’s a couple of reasons why that’s significant.  One is that I have a tough time forming friendships with men.  The other is that I have a tough time organizing get togethers with people that I’m not already really close with.

Last night I went a fair ways towards doing both.

I also ate a ton of sushi.  And I’m not really exaggerating too much with the “ton” statement.

I love sushi.  I love all-you-can-eat.

What I didn’t realize I would love was the friendship and good times with the guys.

I have to admit, I used to feel sorry for guys that were always hanging out with other guys.  Leaving their girlfriends, fiances and wives at home alone while they went out to grab beers with their friends.  Truth to be told, I still probably do, but at least now I’m beginning to understand the appeal.

We ate way too much food.  We talked about stupid and crazy things we did when we were younger.  We had fun.

I would say, all in all, it was a pretty good night.
