- so in my lunacy and boredom yesterday, i crafted a new (unrealistic) theory as to why i am still single. (please note that this is not serious and by no means am i depressed about my single status)

everytime i meet new people, it seems that someone in a group always brings up that i look like someone they already know. “oh you remind me of my friend so and so!” super. i have never met them, but i am sure they must be good looking.

the majority of people, upon first meeting, are relatively superficial. admit it. if they look a certain way, that is how you are going to develop your first impression. so not everybody takes the time to get to know the real person beyond that first glance or two.

here is what i think: if i already look like someone these people already know, that void is already filled in their lives. their quota of people that look like me is already filled by so and so. so they might not take the time to get to know me and miss theYerg boat. so, i grow a beard…

- day nine of fun with facial hair. first time i have seen my boss since he was in india all last week. his proclamation to the office staff: “do we have any good purchasing agents that can buy Jared a razor? going for the bearded look huh?” i will give him credit for incorporating our line of work in there. not bad.

- so i was asked to investigate the appeal of fantasy football… here you go. if you went to a school that didn’t have a nationally televised game. if your closest city growing up’s team sucked ass. if you have no “gear” as a fan of any certain pro squad. then fatasy football is perfect for you. like the game itself, with free agency these days, its all about the players. so if you really get a chubber over the way matt leinart plays, but don’t like arizona, you can depend on the stats he cranks out week in and week out to compete against your buddies. it is the best outlet for smack talking for adult males with no inate athletic abilities. you don’t have to be able to rush for 200 yards every sunday to be able to make your buddy feel like shit that he can’t. you just have to be lucky enough to have ladanian tomlinson do it for you to gain the points to beat your buddy’s imaginary squad. and throughout the season, you get to make roster moves and gamble on a second string QB or change a defense at the last minute because you know that the skins aren’t going to be able to put anything on the board. its the knowledge of the players and the game that gives you success. either that or being the girl in the office whose husband has nothign better to do than monitor injury reports and dominate the waiver wires.

- the u-phonik show was pretty good on saturday. musically anyway. for the life of me, i seriously could not understand any of the lyrics. i know they only sang one song in french (crazy canucks) but they all sounded french to me. no clue. but great music.

- and i finally made it into solstice after that. nice little joint. and double bonus for having the kitchen open until practically closing. nice job on the faux brick too sam.

- i didn’t get to disc golf this weekend. my couch had some sort of invisible substance that would not allow me to get off of it all weekend.

- the monday before a holiday weekend is poop. just the anticipation of not being here NEXT monday eats you alive. it will get worse as the week goes on.

piece out.
