Not new to this
Single people can be a creative bunch. We come up with the most unique excuses reasons not to date someone. I’m talking about the “relationship resume” that some people prefer to be long, detailed, and has proof of commitment. You say you are a good candidate? We’re going to need references!
While some prefer not to date a previously married person, others would just like someone who is not new to the relationship thing. I can admit that dating someone with no real relationship experience can be challenging.
You may have to become a virtual relationship guide and exercise a little more patience. It’s not necessarily impossible to do but I am pretty sure the inexperienced person would have to put up with something too. That’s why it’s called a relationship.
Do you think those post high school and college relationships really make a big difference in our relationship resume? What do you think is important in a person’s dating history?
What was the relationship from your past that you think helped make you a better person?
Which one do you think actually created some emotional baggage for you?
Would it bother you if you were dating someone who has never had a long-term relationship before?
I want to remind you that the Misadventures in Atlanta blog will be closed on Friday.
Happy Monday!

I want Beyonce to go sit down somewhere, pop a baby out and be a stay at home wife for like 2 years. Then I’d miss her enough to want to see her again. Why won’t she do this small thing for me?
Is LIL MO here? Did you get your Jay Z tix?

Why not rock the Gumby? The Mohawk seem to have made a comeback. Do you, man.
You can rock the Kid (from Kid ‘N Play) Eraserhead look if you can still grow it and want to do it.
I’ve notice more boys get flattops at the barbershop. So, everything cyclical.

PG – You’ve been studying too hard.
Your sentences aren’t making much sense. 
Yes, we were wary of StubHub when they came on the scene. Especially when I used to work with the Falcons. They started securing sponsorship deals that conflicted with some existing agreements (like with Ticketmaster!) they had in place. It was hard to enforce scalping laws when you could walk right up to Falcons Landing and pick up your Stub Hub tickets at one of the booths.
I believe they worked it all out. Ticketmaster also has a resell feature, but StubHub is blowing them away. Which is funny because most folks buy their tix on Ticketmaster and end up selling them on Stub Hub rather than reselling them back on Ticketmaster.

You’ve been studying too hard.

I’m sorry. I got a grand total of 4 hours of sleep for the whole weekend.
One of the wife’s friends called us on Saturday night needing a safe place to sleep. She and her Nigerian boyfriend got into a a serious fight. We spent a time in Crawford Long ER with her. Her actually broke her nose, and gave her a black eye.
I dunno why every one calls us. But we do have a guest room. Actually, we bought her a Greyhound ticket and she is on her way back to Cleveland, OH. (Her hometown and where her mom stays). It is a holiday week and she already had this week for vacation. (Bad way to spend vacation)
However, I am running on fumes here.
Sorry.

Well, you know that it is law that if you get a gumby of any height, you must purchase some Cross Colors to fit the look.
I’m just letting you know that them’s the rules.

She might be watching out for Amare.
Screaming A Smith (Stephen A. Smith) was on acouple of stations (including CBS 46’s Sportline Saturday program) talking about Amare Stoudemire telling him that he wanted to be traded to Atlanta.
Personally, I don’t see it happening. NBA has salary matching provision (or at least equal amounts must go back and forth. I don’t know how Atlanta could make it work. I haven’t put much thought into either, though.

The older bull says, “No, wait. Let’s walk down the hill and f### them all.”
Are you running down the hill or walking down the hill?
