It’s easy to get jaded, when all you see are shades of douchebaggery. I work in DCD mecca. Some may even call it the Capitol of Douchebagastonia. There are so many little boys, who think that their fancy suits and badges somehow qualify them as god’s gift to both the country and to women. The frightening thing is those DCDettes grow up into full blown DCDs with actual (yet still grossly exaggerated) power and it can disillusion (i.e. piss all over) even the best believer’s spirit.
So yesterday I got to meet one of my favorite artists, Matt Nathanson (if you don’t know him…you are living under a rock. You should immediately go to itunes and download everything of his that you can get your grubby little fingers on…just get it all, you won’t be sorry. If you really love listening to him for free via the internets, you should go here and see how you can help.) After so much DCD time, I have severely low expectations, especially for men with any amount of success to their name. So I must say a special thanks to Matt Nathanson, who exhibited the most anti-DCD behavior imaginable…I dare say he was actually a real man (and as this blog can attest, I reserve that word for a very select group of those afflicted with a Y-chromosome).
So to Mr. Matt Nathanson, thanks for hanging out, listening to our drunk stories (sorry!), making fun of lame DCDs, and restoring our faith that not every guy that comes to this special city is a big flaming pile of poo. We love you (and Nancy)!
Love forever, fanfrickingtastic, her two fabulous coworkers, and Steve (your twin brother from another mother)

LOL. I just did a similar post ranting on men. Granted I am all married and crap, and SO happy to be over with that scene, but guys are still such douchebags sometimes.

Haha, well I hope I’m still holding onto my real man status.

I’m so jealous that you got to meet Matt! I’ve seen him thrice, and still have only experienced the fantastic singalongs that always happen at his shows. Sigh.

Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only person in the world who was a Matt Nathanson fan! He played at UCONN twice while I was in school, and both times were FANTASTIC. The first time, my friend and I got to (briefly) meet him and he posed for pictures with us (lame, I know). But it was fantastic and I love him and “Beneath these Fireworks” is still my go-to CD when I’m stressed.

I listened to Matt Nathanson’s song “Car Crash” a lot after I got hit by a car in December. I also like “Fall to Pieces” and “Little Victories”, but I think that’s all I know of his so far. Will have to check out more.
