something so ridiculous, but we'd both had a long day at work and we were worn out. Then before we knew it, we were taking out our frustrations out on each other--over who's fault it was that we ran out of toilet paper," Patrick explained.
"Hey, at least you have a wife," Colin admitted.
"Dude man, there's shit you don't understand about being married," Patrick said.
"Yeah. Like arguing about who's fault it is when you run out of toilet paper," Colin joked. "I guess the important question is, whose fault was it?"
"Alright wise guy. You've made your point. I know it was a bullshit stupid argument," Patrick remarked. "But that's the point. It's just funny how sometimes you argue about the craziest shit when you're married."
"Look man. You can complain all you want, but I'd still take your life," Colin said.
Patrick shook his head in disbelief. "I don't know what's wrong with you. You're going to be retiring soon. That easy pussy you could be getting right now is going to go away. You have to get in there while the getting is still good."
"Been there, done that, got tired of it. Besides, I've tried fighting single before. I just find it easier staying focused if I'm in a relationship instead of just chasing the next piece of tail," Colin explained.
"Dude, there's plenty of time to get married. You have the whole rest of your life to get married actually. But the window for boning badass babes is closing," Patrick insisted.
"Let it close," Colin said.
Patrick groaned. "You're killing me man."
Colin's trainer Jimmy then came over.
"Ladies, are you done here?" Jimmy said. "We have a fight to train for."

Colin knew he had to get his love life back on track. And it wasn't just because it would help him for the fight. It was because Colin was tired of being single. He was ready to start the next phase of his life. And for that phase, he wanted to fall in love. Ironically, while Colin was at a low point in his search for love, those closest to him seemed to be at their high point.
That's how Colin found himself at the wedding of his old friend Brant. Now Colin was happy for his old friend. It had taken Brant a long time to find "the one." There had been a lot of bumps along the road. Brant's story actually mirrored Colin's story a lot. The only difference was that Brant had already found his happy ending.
Colin was tired of feeling sorry for himself though. And there was no better place to jump back into the dating scene that at a wedding. Bridesmaids were everywhere. Romance was in the air. The mood was set. What could go wrong?
Then Colin got to the wedding and realized just how awful his luck was. He'd managed to get invited to the one wedding where no one seemed to be single but Colin. The maid of honor, the bridesmaids, even the extended families of the bride and groom--everyone was romantically attached. It was unbelievable. What were the odds that the singles scene at a wedding would be so non existent? Colin wanted nothing more than to dig into the buffet at the reception. But he knew he couldn't. He was in training for his next fight. There was no room there for indulging in cake or other goodies.
At the reception, Colin's friend Mary couldn't help but notice that Colin wasn't having the time of his life. But Mary had news to change that.
"Colin, just the man I've been looking for," Mary said.
Mary was so stranger to heartbreak. She'd been dumped by her long time boyfriend shortly before the wedding. Being on the mend was hardly a treat for Mary. That's why she hoped for a better fate for Colin. All Colin had to do was look into Mary's eyes to tell she was plotting something.
"Uh oh. What's going on?" Colin asked.
"Oh come on Colin. Can't your old friend just be happy to see you without there being ulterior motives?" Mary replied.
"I don't know. Can you?" Colin fired
