Don't you just hate it when someone comes up with a catchy phrase that the general population decides to use, but you don't care for it. You obviously would fit into the category of it, but do not like being classified that way. I have a friend from Australia whom I used to make fun of on a regular basis by using the term, 'krikey'. She would always respond with, "We don't say that and I hate it." Which of course this made me want to say it all the more often.
I've come into contact with a term that I don't care for, however it would seem that it will be applying to me soon. The term is 'man cave'. There's not really anything that is wrong with this term, however I get the image of some guy in Malibu, living in a mansion, that has purposely decorated a room or building to have 'man' stuff that he never uses; he just figures that its a macho image and plays with the fact that he's not supposed to have this stuff around women.
So back to, what is essentially, 'my room'. Its not that the rest of the room don't belong to my wife and I, however as she is ruler over the kitchen, I am becoming ruler over the garage. We've established that this is mine to decorate and utilize as I see fit.
My first order of business was to take care of the floor. I don't have to have things to be spic and span, however I'm a big believer in a quote by George Carlin that goes something like make your home comfortable and peaceful because its the place you go to to get away from the world. There are a lot of great George Carlin quotes.
So, at any rate, I decided to put a nice epoxy coat on the floor and start building my room from the ground up. I'm not sure if I'll share pictures of the absolute completed product, however I will share pictures of the floor. You can use your imagination for the rest.
Oh, and if you live in Malibu and just spent a lot of money on 'man-looking' stuff, can I have your old stuff?
