Jake’s Manhood is on Probation
Posted By startswithanx on May 14, 2009
I love when people are so worried about getting busted that they bust themselves. I’m in the office the other night, typing away, not giving two shits about what Jake’s up to in the living room, when I hear this: “Um, I wouldn’t be watching this if the game was a close one.”
Say what?
So then I stop typing and turn to see my beloved boyfriend stretched out on our leather recliner. He’s wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, Springsteen style and sipping a Corona. Just when I think the testosterone is going to burst, I hear the word “like” being used on TV as an adjective, noun and verb, which can only mean one thing. “The Hills” is on.
Me: So, let me get this right. There’s an NBA playoff basketball game on and you’re choosing to watch a DVR’d episode of “The Hills” instead?
Jake: IT’S A BLOWOUT!!!
It’s probably the one time I would’ve preferred he watch the game. Now I have to forever live with the fact that my boyfriend could care less what Lebron’s up to, so long as there’s Spencer and Heidi drama to catch up on. If there’s a pause just before I one day say the words “I do,” he’ll know why.
The best part? Jake never drinks beer on school nights. You know damn well that, in his mind, holding a cold one excused the CARDINAL MAN SIN he was committing. I guess that also explains the one-arm push ups during the commercial breaks.
There is never… and I mean never any good reason to watch The Hills.
ugh! I hate that show..however it is like a train wreck you just can’t look away. Jake should hand in his dude card.
I love that Jake watches The Hills. I love that show!!
Sorry–Corona is NOT a manly enough beer to cancel out watching a girl show. Maybe if it had been Milwaukee’s Best. In a can. With a koozie that reads “I fear no beer.” MAYBE then. But probably not.
I don’t know why I subject myself to such vicious, unprovoked attacks, just because I’m X’s boyfriend. But I’m not ashamed. The Hills is entertaining. Come college football season X will be begging me to watch girly shows.
Don’t worry, the actual episode is only approx. 13 minutes long. Seriously, I timed it a few weeks ago. I need to get a hobby. Or a man.
i think it is cool that jake watches the hills; cool and funny. i love that he had to make an announcement about it too.
Thank you for not using the term “Speidi” in that post.
Ugh. That show!
I’m not sure why I’m not surprised by this at all…
hilarious.
Jake, KC is coming back for LC next season! X…be nice. Aren’t you glad he is in touch with his feminine side?! And in love with you soooo much that he doesn’t even try to hide it?! (Jake, that’s the best I could do….hope it helps)
This just shows that Jake is comfortable with his manhood! The Brazilian HATES The Hills and my favorite Gossip Girl! BUT in all fairness, he’s the one that got me into Project Runway. p.s. the game yesterday with The Lakes and the Rockets was dope!
I have to say, of any reality show to pick, The Hills is top notch. You can’t beat the awkward moments they find themselves in.
The Hills isn’t all girly all the time. There was a fist fight on the season premiere, that’s manly right?
This is the secret life of men. They also love all the Real Housewives of (Insert City Here) shows too. They just don’t want to admit it. Nor should they.
