With my shift being 4-11, I was ready to go out and hit the Irish Pub for a beer or two.\u0026nbsp; I was not expecting anything more than a little fuzz and buzz, something to go home to and celebrate another most excellent evening at work.\u0026nbsp;\n\nYeah, I'm a human.\u0026nbsp; Who gives a fuck?\u0026nbsp; In a world mixed with, like, 70% furries and 30% humans, life is fucking great, now, man.\u0026nbsp; Not that I have ever dated anyone \"out of my species\".\u0026nbsp; Not yet, anyways.\u0026nbsp;\n\nAnd that is where this \"tail\" turns.\n\nThe manager on duty that night, Mr. Steve Blasko, told me that I would be able to leave at an earlier time because it was so slow that evening.\u0026nbsp; I thought, _Great!\u0026nbsp;_ I could not wait to get out and sip some beer.\u0026nbsp; I do not like the hard stuff, like vodka, tequila, et cetera, et cetera.\u0026nbsp; No, I am just interested in beer.\u0026nbsp; Four Loko?\u0026nbsp; Once in a while.\u0026nbsp; That stuff _is fun!\u0026nbsp;_\n\nSo, anyways, I clock out and I put away my cutter and nametag, because I work in the deli, and it's a lot of fun.\u0026nbsp; I treat the customers and co-workers like genuine family, because I love what I do, and it makes for a great life.\u0026nbsp; And, I won't lie, I do have a drug problem, but I like to drink and smoke cigarettes, although smoking is not so much fun as it used to be.\u0026nbsp; I don't know, it's just hard on the throat.\u0026nbsp;\n\nAnyways, so I'm walking with my MP3, listening to I don't remember and I stop in the Irish Pub, which is really nice.\u0026nbsp; By the way, I live in Eastfield, which is a \"quaint\" little town and I just love it here.\u0026nbsp; My family is here, and they are so supportive.\u0026nbsp; I have the doorman check my ID, and it clears.\u0026nbsp; I'm 35, but I look so goddamn young.\u0026nbsp; The place is packed, but it is Saturday, so no shit, Sherlock.\u0026nbsp; At first, I was going to look for a small table, because if there is one thing I dislike is being around a crowd, but I decided what the fuck I will take a chance and I moved over to the bar and found a chair.\u0026nbsp; There were all kinds around:\u0026nbsp; sure, humans, stuck up motherfuckers who thought they were better than all the furries (when were they ever going to learn?), but wolves, foxes, squirrels, I mean, it's like a zoo in there, you know?\u0026nbsp;\n\nI have to stop for a moment, and digress.\u0026nbsp; That's cool, because this is a pretty goddamn long story, and there is no way I can tell all this in one sitting.\u0026nbsp; I mean, I can give a few more paragraphs and I will have to stop and fall asleep because what a night it has been!\u0026nbsp; But, I love furries.\u0026nbsp; I mean, I _love_ them.\u0026nbsp; I _lust_ after them.\u0026nbsp; I cry myself to sleep at night, wondering why I was born a goddamn human in the first place.\u0026nbsp; Furries, well, they're so. . .it's hard to find the perfect word, but. . .well, that's it. . .they're _perfect_.\u0026nbsp; Shit, they're more than _perfect_.\u0026nbsp; They're \"_fur_\"-_fect_.\u0026nbsp;\n\nThey are more than just intelligent and possess opposable thumbs.\u0026nbsp; They have a heightened sense of a spiritual nature that I cannot even begin to consume on a full level, and it's just beautiful.\u0026nbsp; In my deepest meditations alone, I have wished for just a fraction of some of their love, and have failed every time.\u0026nbsp; I feel disappointed.\u0026nbsp; I am no half-baked idiot.\u0026nbsp; I am not your run-of-the-mill human.\u0026nbsp; I have been through some shit.\u0026nbsp; I have made some fucked up bad choices, and I have gained more wisdom from the aftermath of those bad choices than from all the \"successes\" of my life.\u0026nbsp;\n\nThere was this one time I met this amazing and beautiful tan vixen named Cindy.\u0026nbsp; She was eighteen and single and had a super body and a great sense of humor and love just radiated from her like it was a rainbow detonating from her eyes and mouth, and as we danced to a club song, I felt entranced.\u0026nbsp; I felt enamored.\u0026nbsp; I wanted nothing more than to be super glued to her side forever.\u0026nbsp;\n\nI asked her out on a date.\u0026nbsp; When her paw touched my hand, I blushed, felt crippled and ran.\u0026nbsp; I mean, I ran for the exit door to the club, and cried all the way home, my sneakers scraping rubber from the soles off the sidewalk.\u0026nbsp; _How embarrassing_, I thought.\u0026nbsp;\n\nIt was then that I realized:\u0026nbsp; _It's me._\u0026nbsp; I was not strong enough for the furries.\u0026nbsp; As a human, my own level of love and passion was real inferior to the divine level of which Cindy had contributed to our dance earlier.\u0026nbsp;\n\nI had to change.\u0026nbsp; But how?\n\nWell, tonight, that change began.\u0026nbsp; And, I am sure that you are just dying to know what the fuck happened.\u0026nbsp; And, yes, I am dying to tell you, because I have found a furry that I really, really am ready to commit to, and even thought I just met him (yes, I'm bi, but I'm down to earth), I know my heart and soul now, I'm ready.\n\nLet's just say he's hung, wonderful, caring, charming, has a great sense of humor, and has that _\"fur\"-fect_ touch.\n\nWhew!\u0026nbsp; Please pardon me, but that bed in front of me looks awful good, and I am about to collapse.\u0026nbsp; I don't know if it's from the Pabst Blue Ribbon or from what happened tonight, but after work tomorrow, I promise to tell more!\u0026nbsp;\n\nPeace,\n\nAndy Pandy\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
