It’s not often, but on occasion I meet a person who inspires me to question my faith in humanity. The type of person who makes it seem like I’ll avoid children not because of my aversion to such matters, but because I don’t want my kids to see a world with people so unfathomably dumb.
Tonight I saw some of that and it just made me think, “Wow, I am really happy to be 23. I am fine with being away from college where it may have been easier to meet new people, but I kept meeting people like you. Thank god I have entered the real world and I can now just, um, go over here…away from you…no, please don’t touch me…”
I actually thought all of that. It seemed sort of liberating to know I no longer have this set demographic of people I had in college. See, as a collegiate you’re kind of stuck with whatever 20something will date you, but once you’ve torn free from the shackles of the tuition-based life, you can pretty much to whatever you want. At least in my experience, I may be wrong.
Friday’s, as usual, provided me very little material. Especially today. I spent the whole day trying to assemble the feature I’m authoring in issue eight (my last issue on staff). Then I just grabbed beers with Zane, ate some OP recession special – the aptly named dish for the economy these days – and now I’m home, blogging, watching Heat, and drinking a nice bottle of beer.
Some may say Fridays need to be spent out, fraternizing and carpe diem, but I feel fine. Damn fine. Especially given that Jamee Greer over at 4&20 dropped a “holla.” That made my day. (By the way: Crazy avalanche photos...)
If nothing goes on tomorrow I’ll be back here, same Pat time, same Pat channel. If I find stuff to do, I’ll see you Sunday.

Weekend: Days five and six
Well, I’ve already received on Facebook message about failing to update this blog yesterday, but I have an excuse. I got up with a bit of a headache (Bill and I went out Friday and, um…yeah). I sat around with John for a while drinking coffee and watching him play Resident Evil 4 until Sean and Tonya and Bill got up and we all went to Old Post for breakfast.
After that I played guitar until late into the afternoon before deciding to go to Cloverfield with my friend Tom. Just so you know, that movie rocks. You need to see it. My only complaint comes from the 9/11-symbolism that sort of sticks out as if to say, “Hey! Sept. 11 was bad, huh?! Feel bad about this too!” Luckily they get back to the monster and things improve.
Then we watched – and this is completely true – Christian TV programs. One show had to do with missionaries having car problems. The guy spoke in this overdramatic way about it as if he were saying things like, “There were no survivors,” but he was talking about a Subaru. Tom, his brother Karf and I all sat around mocking it until late when all of the primary and caucus numbers were in. Boring day actually.
I have an aside here: Tom and Karf are both Mormon so we had a long talk about how if Romney gets the Republican nod the amount of veiled Mormon hate spewing from TV meat puppets will be amazingly high. You think Lou Dobbs hates Latinos and Hispanics? Just you wait…
But anyway… that’s why I didn’t update yesterday. I had other things going on.
Today I’m watching football with a bunch of people and rooting against the Patriots. I can’t wait until hating these bastards becomes political issue. Imagine it. Bill O’Reilly will say things like, “Of course Hillary Clinton won’t be cheering for the Patriots because doing so would be raving for the flag and she is controlled by far-left elements who hate patriotism, families, puppies…and freedoms…and they love gays!”
The love gays part will be essential. He’ll have to add that in there if only because homosexuality must always be a divisive issue in his mind.
The only other news I have comes from 4 & 20 Blackbirds. They found me. I don’t know how, but they found me. (Run for it Marty!) So, welcome everyone. I hope you have a good time reading about my life. I only wonder who over there posted about me... they didn't use a byline, but apparently like my work. Thanks people. I like being liked (much better than hate).
