Observations – By Shaft

The following post is probably rated R, only for some words used, but still read at your own risk.

Background

Shaft and I first met in Term 1 of law school. I was in an accident, stuck in a rain storm in the median of an interstate, and I see him in a car drive by …. looking at me …. and NOT stopping !! Later that day …. after finally making it to classes, at a break I approach him ….

“Dude, was that you that drove by me when I was stuck in the median earlier today?”

“Hey, yeah, I thought I recognized ya !”

“Gee, thanks for the help.”

“No problem.”

“By the way, my name is Joe Hairdy.”

“I’m Shaft.”

And that’s how we met. (Names have been changed to protect the guilty.)

We’ve been hanging out for almost 15 years now …. and see or talk to each other almost everyday of the the year. We have complete trust in one another, have been there for each other whenever needed, have a blast together and are the best of friends.

I couldn’t have asked for more support from anyone when I told him I was a transsexual. He’s helped me think and talk things out. And in my opinion, Shaft, my dad and my brother are the three best fathers this world has ever known.

And over the past year that he’s known about my transsexualism, in a very gradual way, our relationship has changed, while still remaining the best of friends, maybe even more so because of absolutely no remaining secrets, there have been subtle changes in our interactions with one another …. we are interacting more and more as a guy and a girl …. not two guys …. and that’s incredibly cool !!

But ….. (there’s always a butt !!)

Shaft is 100% guy …. completely …. cars, motorcycles, go-karts …. anything mechanical … he’s all about …. guns … ohhhh, guns !!!! he’s right there ….. farts …. he loves them …. “Hey, come into my office, smell this one !” …. belching …. he does it without even realizing it …. picking his nose and ears …. “Hey, that’s what my stylus is for, right?” …. porn ??? …. mmmmm, porn !!!! ….. he so loves the internet …. comedy … shock value is the name of the game …. he’ll say anything, whether he’s the butt of the joke or not …. and he is the funniest of storytellers …..

So that being said …. out of the blue ….. following is …

A Recent Shaft Observation

“Dude, are you going to shave your muff?”

“What?”, I answered, knowing full well what he said, just trying to buy some time for me to recover.

“You know, are you going to shave your muff? Because, if you are, you should leave a landing strip,” he says in a very conversational tone.

“Nice,” I answer.

“Seriously, if you go completely bare it makes your hips look wider. A landing strip makes them look narrower, it’s an optical illusion,” said as if he’s Bill Nye.

“My hips aren’t too wide anyways,” I state while shaking my head.

“Doesn’t matter, trust me, landing strips always look better, I’ve seen a lot on the ‘net,” said as he concludes the conversation.

“Thanks dude.”

“No problem. See ya tomorrow.”

“Yeah, see ya.”

I’m still shaking my head !! lol

Not because of the topic itself, but because …. in all honesty, that’s exactly the type of conversation he’d have with our other female friends …. Singer, Sister and OBP …. heck, I was probably the last one to whom he’s mentioned it !!

So in an odd sorta way …. so cool. But definitely odd.
