Being Bad
First, the answer: My insurance company was $224,468.37 for the total costs of all medical care provided in relation to the surgery. God bless my insurance company for saving me from bankruptcy.
Lately, I've been a very bad man. In fact, I've done something unheard of in the male world (either straight or gay). I threw out my porn.
What is it about men that makes them keep collections of porn. I can remember growing up, and finding each of my father's porn collections. Stacks of magazines dating back over 10 years. And most of my friends have their own stashes.
The thing is, maybe it's just me, but porn videos bore me. I find myself hitting the fast forward button just to get to the splash finish a little faster. Seriously after the first two minutes, do you even see anything new, besides actors changing into a new acrobatic position?
So going through my storage closet in my loft, I found my old porn collection. Marco, Chet, Chad, Rocco, Rob, and Sam...in all their glory for my viewing pleasure. I took them each out of the box, and placed them in a pile, watching it become some sort of statue, erected to commemorate my erections. It felt kind of sad, so I decided it was time to dismiss those men from my life.
I carried them all to the trash bin outside my apartment building and tossed each of them out. Marco, Chet, Chad, Rocco, Rob, and Sam were each were tossed into the trash. I don't need them anymore. In fact, if I don't have them around, I'm more likely going to go out looking, and personally, I prefer to star in my own pornographic films.
As I turned and walked away from the trash bin, I though about how hard it was to meet guys while living on the Upper West Side, not to mention just how hard it is to meet men in general. So I went back to the trash and picked up Sam, and brought him back to the apartment. Tunagirl likes Sam, and I can't have her too lonely while her husband is deployed.
