Stripping? Taking my clothes off in front of a bunch of horny chicks who were more than likely throwing their husband's paycheck at me, or shoving it down my pants. I couldn't grasp the concept of Magic Mike let alone sit down and watch it. Shit seemed so demeaning and, I don't know, soft. I mean what kinda dude is okay with being felt up by a woman if that's where it ends? Sure, the money's probably nice, but... Yeah. That's definitely the part that hooks em. And I'm in no way materialistic, but money makes the world go round-even for frugal minded folks like myself. Being lead consultant of web development and social media correspondence at Warpfire Management helped to keep the lights on, water running, and enough extra to put away savings for me and my wife's future. But as is usually the case when your career is only a subcategory to somebody else's, things fell apart, quickly and without warning, landing me in a predicament that would soon have me studying Magic Mike 101. The irony.
