After discussing this at length with Techguy today in regards to my absolute refusal to purchase either Rockband OR Guitar Hero for his video gaming obsession (I will add here that I don’t write off video games completely only ones that give you the far fetched notion that you could somehow one day be a rock star even though you are now forty years old with a beer gut and balding) I felt the need to share a quick note with you fellas out there:

1. Playing air guitar after you have graduated college and are not out and drunk off your ass is not cool.

2. Playing air guitar with the use of plastic props and colored dots on video games in the middle of your living room in front of the windows so the neighbors…no, so anyone can see you is also not cool.

3. Thinking that playing air guitar puts you on par with actual musicians is equally as uncool, it’s not the action of playing a guitar that we fall for guys, it’s the actual playing and the whole sensitive emo boy thing that adds to the swoon factor.

4. Even remotely thinking that prancing around like a devil possessed with a piece of molded plastic in your hands whilst attempting to sing (in broken lyrics I might add)  impresses a girl or gives you “status points” is a far fetched idea, so far fetched in fact that I have a bridge to sell you.

The point being guys that if you have a cats chance in hell of getting what you ultimately want from your girl acting like a prepubescent boy with or without your buddies is just not gonna cut it.
