Reduction
All my friends in Vancouver are either married, planning theirs, or ready to plan it. I remember, a year or two ago, that there was one day when a bunch of us guys looked around the room at a party of close friends. And we realized that it was just us left single: Hougee, Mike, and me.
We jokingly called ourselves the "leftovers", and though it was good for a chuckle, I think it struck a chord in us a little bit. It did in me, at least. Anyway, now Mike is about to be gone, and Hougee's got himself a serious girlfriend.
So it's just me now: last man standing.

... but we all know that you won't have a problem finding that special someone...
Oh, I didn't say that being the last man standing was necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I think it's good for me to be "alone" right now. I don't feel like committing to anything, because I can't really. At the moment, it's just about getting what I want out of life, for myself. Once I feel satisfied there, then I can really go around looking to find someone to share it all with. (I'm talking about happiness, not money.)
Heh, when I get together with some of my old friends, I'm constantly barraged with when are you getting married while they're all holding their kids between 0-3 yrs old.
Almost every one of them are married now.
less competition now ehh :P
Yup, me and "Cow Goldfish" were talking about that too -- how we're the only ones left. You can hang out with us!!
Of course, that requires moving back to CA. =)
Less competition? I guess so, except that as I get older, there are always newer models coming out to compete with me. At some point, I will become obsolete, instead of the "more distinguished" that girls keep saying guys get as they age.
What's the club name for misc and CowGoldfish in Cali? Perhaps I need to make myself an honourary member somehow?
Perhaps I need to prepare myself to become the goofy uncle that plays with the kids, spoils them rotten, and teaches them silly bad stuff, before sending them back to the parents (to fix the damage I caused for my own amusement).
Ah, but being the goofy uncle also implies that either I or your other sibling will have to hitch and drop little ones. I don't think you should depend on others to determine your fate.
That said, you will deterministically always be a goofy brother. You've already taught me silly bad stuff. You just have to spoil me rotten now. :)
