rock and roll ain't noise pollution

An impromptu survey: (Wholly independent of the "what the hell am I doing with my life," thing, i assure you)

The Data:
Consider four close friends from high school and then four more friends from college, all men, and then divide the stages of marriage into three parts, distributing the subjects into the appropriate categories:
1) Married, engaged, or having at some point been married.
2) Involved in a relationship that everyone around them can clearly see will lead to marriage.
3) Clearly not going to be married anytime soon/possibly gay

The results:
Three men in the first group
Two men in the second group
Three men in the third group

The Analysis
Honestly i don't really have anything to say about all this. It's just an interesting trend. If i was feeling really spry i would re-calculate the results for 2 years ago and 4 years ago and get some trend lines up in this bitch. Hell, i might even be able to predict new relationships. I've got some really nice graphs and charts that go along with all this text, but i'm too lazy to post 'em.

And where do you fit into the data?

They say love is blind and vengeful like a tree with a bad case of squirrels. That being the case, a man can never know how deeply his squirrel infestation runs.

Then one day the lumber jacks will come.

And they're okay.
