So the other day I called Jason to see what was up, and he told me they were going Condo shopping. When I questioned that, I was told that he had already heard from my dad that it was a bad idea. Then when I said that maybe he should listen to my father, I got the patented Nico laugh. The one that says "ya ok, whatever"

Then I read his post and I start to see his points. Sure those points could have been conveyed over the phone, but thats not the way we work. We are a know it all kinda people, and if you catch us at the wrong time you will not get anywhere with us no matter how hard you try.

So even though I see Jason's points on the condo idea, I'm sorry but I don't agree 100% with it. But if that's what they want to do then honestly it makes no deference to me, as long as they're happy then what does the location mean? I would never dare to give out advise on something I am no expert on. That would be as asinine as a man marrying the only woman he ever dated and then giving out dating advice.

So all I can do is remind Jason that sowing your wild oats at the point in life your at is really a moo point. You have been with a girl for 10 years, she is far from the controlling type (at least in front of us) and if you're trying to save money then moving out to be on your own is really not the smartest thing. Seriously, if you were to have a place alone before marriage, where would Sheree stay most nights? She would be right there with you every night, so how is that sowing the wild oats? And really what oats do you have to sow? Are you going on a banging spree? Is giving you carte blanche to see other woman? No, the only freedom you get from moving out is that you get to watch english TV when ever you want. Thats it... nothing else. You have freedom to come and go as you please at home, so really the only problem is the TV.

But now, if you and Sheree get a place, both of you never have lived on your own. You get married, go on your honeymoon, and when you come back, you can honestly pick her up, and carry her over the threshold, into a condo, apartment, or house that neither of you have ever lived in, to experience something neither of you have ever experienced, and to officially start your lives together... I don't know man... to me that's what the previous 10 years was building up too.

This is not me picking on my brother. I have always believed in this. I said it to Mark and Tanya when they moved in together and I hope that I can stick to my guns and have it happen to me. But in this day and age, its just not something that happens. I know Eddie lives with Liz and I'm not judging anyone. That's why I say I HOPE I can stick to my guns cause I know that things change and shit happens and next thing you know I'll be shacked up with some chick I met on the internet 2 weeks before signing a lease together cause we got matching I LUV U tattoo's, but in Jason and Sheree's case I think they are too close to the finish line (Or starting gate) to be making a change where really change isn't needed.

So that being said, Jase, you can do whatever you please. I might not agree with it, but as long as it doesn't mess you up then I really don't care where or how you live. But all this talk has really refreshed my memory on one thing.... one day I'll be going to Montreal to visit and I'll be stuck at the house forced to watch Portuguese TV alone....

Don't be to anxious to get out... Cause one day you might wish you could get back in.

PS: If there is one thing I know I can be an expert on, its being a brother and a friend, I'll take that over mortgage rates and fashion sense any day.... Bitches!
