My Friend Meghatron

One of the most important people in my life is named Meghan. Meghan knows me pretty damned good. Since I first met her, she has struck something in me that I have never seen anywhere. When I have a problem, she is who I call because she always has an answer for me, even if I don't always take her advice. She knows why I sleep with women and why I don't. She knows why I act like a pig. She knows that riding is a huge part of who I am. She asked me what I would do if I met someone, how riding would fit in, but she put it this way, "What are you gonna do about riding if you meet someone?" Now...there is something interesting to note, here. She knows that there is a possible problem, and she sees it from the female point of view, which is cool. She knows that if a woman puts herself at odds with riding (as most women will do at some point) they are putting a strain on the relationship (though they tend not to understand what they are doing). I told her that riding keeps me sane, will benefit the relationship and benefit me...because it's who I am. "I dunno," she said.
"It either works or it doesn't, but riding is who I am," I told her. "Yeah," she said. Yeah...a brutha's gotta have priorities. Meghan rules.
