Hi! My name is Joe Shmo. I'm an average guy. I have a beautiful wife and soon to be three beautiful little girls. They are awesome and make the 60 hour work weeks worth it. All of the women in this family are red headed. It is not a cliche when I say that "redheads have a temper like a chipotle pepper." That is a simile - But it is true. The temper starts out kind of sultry and exotic and then quickly will burn your ass if you get too much of it. I'm very lucky to be a Cajun so I can take a good bit of spice. All kidding aside, my family is the reason I am who I am and I do what I do. I wouldn't have it any other way. However, I feel that with them being all redheaded and all of the female gender, I will be out-voted pretty much on everything for the rest of my life.
Most guys in my situation have the garage or out-building where they can go for their solace and "me time". I have no out-building and the garage is filled with containers of "women things" which my daughters and wife either currently use or will use in the near future. As a man, I need tools to do "man stuff" around the Kingdom to keep it operational and in proper working order. I have been quartered to a simple 4 shelf organizer for all of my manly tool items and such in the garage.
The only "Dude Room" I have is the toilet room inside the master bath of our house. It is cramped, noisy, and hot - but it is mine and I cherish it. This 4.5' x 2.5' room feels like a vast expanse to me sometimes and even though my legs are now numb because I can't stretch out - I am happy because I know that I have claimed this part of the Kingdom for myself. Welcome to the glimpse into my life as Joe Shmo. I'm just an average guy who absolutely adores his family and wants to share some of the funny reflections in the day of living with my girls. I will try to make nightly posts on a regular basis from The Dude Room.
