A Letter to the Girl my Brother Will Marry

Whether you are in the picture or not, I want you to know how truly lucky you are. You are going to marry my little brother, and become apart of a family that is eager to meet you and already loves you.

I’ve been praying for you for a while now, praying that my brother finds a girl who is smart, caring, compassionate and loyal. I’ve been praying that you come in a time of his life that he needs you to show him why everything will be okay. I’ve been praying that you show him how to love, and that it is okay for guys to show emotion.

I don’t know what you are going through, or what you have gone through, but I do know once you are with my brother, he will show you that everything is okay. He will hold the door for you. He will sing songs just to see your smile. He will pick up gallons and gallons of ice cream just because he knows you have had a rough couple of days. I’ve been waiting for him to find a girl like you, just like I know your family has been waiting for you to find a boy like him.

He has a sense of humor, so be patient if you do not get it at first, he loves to quote movies and sing at the top of his lungs in the car. He can eat more in one sitting than most can eat in an entire day so be ready to cook, and the grocery store will become your best friend very fast.

It will not be an easy task to fill, you will replace my mom and I on a shallow level of life. You will be the one he comes to when he needs advice at his job, you will be the one that does his laundry, and you will be the one to iron the shirt for that big job interview. We won’t.

It won’t be easy to let my little brother go, and I may not completely like you at first, but understand that's because you are taking away my friend who I did everything with. From playing dump trucks in the yard with my barbies, to playing a quick game of baseball in the yard. The brother I grew up with my whole life, the one who I may find annoying most of the time, will be the man that you can’t wait to spend your life with. It will be an end of an era for us, but just know that no matter if I like you or not, I love you because he loves you.

So, like I said before, you are going to be the happiest girl in the world. I hope you know that.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
