HEHE. CUE THE "LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS" SOUNDTRACK

I figure I should explain why this is funny, particularly the last profession listed (dentist). A few weeks ago, Michael and I ran into a delightfully obnoxious man named Vincent. (Apparently, I have a knack for attracting the crazy people in any crowd)

He mentioned that he was a barber, and after a few moments of physically showing me what my hair "should" look like, he mentioned that I looked "like that guy in the movie with the plant that eats people." We're still not sure if he meant Seymour, or The Dentist.

Ok, I'm pretty sure it's just funny to me. I guess you had to be there, eh?

ONE MORE FRATERNITY-RELATED QUESTION, THEN I'LL STOP BORING THE NON-BROTHERS:

Ok, kids, does anyone know anything about the Region Consultant position? I'm thinking of putting my hat into the ring, why not? Any pros/cons that you can think of?

WEIRD.

So, I'm driving up to 7-11, to get a Dr. Pepper (and. . . a paper? Would you believe a paper?).

*ahem*

So, I'm driving to 7-11, and the car directly in front of me has a PSP Decal in the window. (OK, it wasn't that one, it was the one that some chapter sells every year at convention. Bros, you know which one I'm talking about, right?)

The car was a Maroon Toyota Celica. The car didn't look familiar to me, but whoever it was lives or works somewhere nearby, because Morganford isn't exactly a main artery of St. Louis, really.

I really wanted to honk, and wave, and make a scene, but I figured it would've involved me basically sticking my head out the window, and yelling our Fraternal word, in order to get this person's attention. (I couldn't even get a good enough look to see if it was a man or woman)

So, now I'm intrigued. Anyone have any ideas who it might've been?

HEHE. DOES THIS MEAN I'LL NEVER BE ANYONE'S PERFECT MATCH? *SNIFFLE*

So, just on a whim, I tried searching for my profile, to see how compatible I'd be with myself. And, surprisingly, I'm only 90% compatible with myself. But this is the most interesting part. I'm not sure if I should be offended or congratulated:

Compared to males his age:

He is less moral than most.
He is more arrogant than most.
He is less old-fashioned than most.
He is more adventurous than most.
He is greedier than most.
He is less pure than most.
He is more independent than most.


Greedier than most? I think it's all relative if I have a job or not. *sigh*

I'm kidding, Internet. Ike loves you, baby. I just get so angry sometimes. . .

No, I'm just dabbling today with random job websites, reading blog posts that I'm horribly behind on, and toolin' around on OK Cupid.

Oh, and I want a cigarette like noone's business.

And a Dr. Pepper.

The problem is that if I run up to the local 7-11 to get a Dr. P, I'll be likely to buy some smokes too.

Aarrrgh.

It doesn't help that my grandmother is in the hospital. I've never been very close to her, but I'm sure Dad's going to be on edge until she gets better.

All well, I'll just amuse myself with other's writings, and the lovely Nina Simone. (This is my favorite song of hers, btw)

Well, it took me a little while to sort through the 80+ links on my multiple blogrolls, I've simplified it down to. . . nearly half. I've got quite a few that I can access through my news reader, so I think I'll definitely be keeping better tabs than I have in the past. We'll see, I guess.

Mental note: Springfield, MO isn't nearly as much fun when 1) you're not in school there, and 2) most of your close friends graduated when you did.

There were a few things that were different: Ziggie's is now totally non-smoking, and have a new "North" location. I was a bit worried, because at first, I thought they bought out George's steakhouse. (Luckily, they didn't.)

The funniest thing about Ziggie's is that a competing restaurant opened across from the original Campbell location. They offer similar food, and allow smoking. It's appropriately named "Ciggie's". Crack me up.

I didn't need to help at College Bowl, so I spent the weekend in total "relax" mode. I definitely needed it after last week.

Martha's was the same as usual: bad DJ mixes, complete with times of silence; same people, except a surprisingly large amount of older (post-college age) straight couples in the mix. Chanon told me that apparently, Martha's is the "trendy" place to go. *shrug* I can't imagine why.

WOW, WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THIS FREE TIME (AGAIN).

So, I found out (as I was leaving) that my assignment at SLUH is officially over. So, I'm a bit sad that I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to all the friends I made, and that I realized on the way home that I left some computer speakers and headphones there (which I will pick up on Monday), but it was for the best, I think. It wasn't really a good match, job-wise, and the last week has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth towards the management there, anyway.

Next week, it's back to the drawing board (job-wise), back to some hard-core blogging, a new template change (I'm jealous of Jen's new digs), and hopefully, some eventual switch to MT.

This weekend, however, I'm off with Greg to Springfield for Nerd-Fest 2004 (aka College Bowl). I plan on being good and drunk for most of the weekend, hopefully take advantage of Sober Driver, for old times sake, and maybe, depending on what time we're done on Sunday, and what time Greg wants to leave, help out with Street Cleaning at 2 pm.

WELL SAID, MY BROTHER.

Jen has this to say about gay marriage and Democrats. As usual, she's pinpointed my thoughts into a much more eloquent rant, which I'm happy to post here:

A LETTER TO DEMOCRATS ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE

Dear Democratic Party,

I want you to know that I, and many other Americans, are disgusted with your cowardice. In your efforts to garner votes so you can win upcoming elections, you are turning your back on a fundamental denial of rights to an entire class of citizens.

Soon -- maybe in this decade, maybe in the next, but certainly in my lifetime -- the gay rights equivalent of Brown will be handed down by the Court, or the equivalent of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 will be passed by Congress. In my children's lifetime, people will marvel that there was a time when We the People -- the citizens of the most free nation on earth, embracers of liberty -- thought it was okay to deny certain citizens the right to marry whom they chose when other citizens were allowed to marry -- and divorce -- with impunity. It will be akin to the Civil Rights movement, and we'll tell our kids that yes, some people really felt that way and they said and did everything possible to hold back the tide, but fortunately it was to no avail. Yes, the politicians of the day preached "seperate, but equal" -- in favor of civil unions, against gay marriage -- in an effort to appease the voters from both ends of the spectrum, instead of doing the right thing and taking the moral high road dictated by our nation's governing documents and the principles of equality and fairness that this country was founded upon.

Some day, maybe in my children's lifetime, maybe in the lifetime of their kids, people will scratch their heads and wonder what all the fuss was about -- of course people can marry whomever they choose! It will be akin to how we now see the women's suffrage movement, and it will be so normal that arguing against it will only make the advocate look like an idiot, a caveman, some strange oddity left over from an intolerant and unenlightened past.

Americans will remember that you were bigots. Unlike during the women's suffrage movement, and the Civil Rights movement, your words are being archived every day on the Internet. They will still be there fifty years from now, a hundred. In digital form, your image and voice will remain, speaking words of compromise and half-victories. Your cowardly stance and the damage done by this denial of fundamental rights and human dignity will be around far longer than the current waves of win-at-all-costs Bush-hatred. When Bush is long gone and equal treatment for citizens remains a distant dream, Americans will remember that you stood by and offered platitudes, rather than taking a stand and risking a little for your constituents. My dear hope is that your words will come back to haunt you, and you will be forced to explain and justify why, in your hunt for power, you were willing to set aside your principles and judgment, and your party was willing to allow that, and the people stood by and did nothing to hold you accountable.

Shame on you, Democrats!


Seriously, is there any question why we're friends?

HOWEVER, LAST NIGHT WAS AN ENTERTAINING EVENING.

I went to dinner with Michael and his friends Donna and Darren at Zoe, a pretty good restaurant in the CWE, then headed off for drinks at Dressel's Pub. Good times, but the drinks were a smidge pricey.

The topic of the evening was a planned trip to Spain the three of them are taking in October. This actually made me feel a little bit gloomy. For one, I'm horribly jealous; it seems like they'll have a good time, plus, the idea of having disposable income again to go on a trip seems so far off these days.

But anyway, this weekend is a trip to Springfield, to help out with the nerd-fest . . . *ahem* . . . College Bowl with Greg. Maybe a change of scenery will make me feel a bit better.

THE BEGINNING OF MY EVERYDAY HABITS, AGAIN.

I took the day off today from work; I called in apathetic. . . err. . . "sick." The next few days are going to be tough, as I really hate training the dimwit woman they replaced me with, and yesterday, my suspicions were confirmed when I found out this woman had not 1) completed an application, nor 2) interviewed with anyone. My guess is that she was a friend of Lea, who is the manager who I don't really like, anyway.

The only thing that makes it a little bit better, is that it seems that most of the staff will miss me. It's nice to feel missed, especially with such a sudden departure.

So, today, I went crazy applying for all sorts of jobs. I followed up on some leads that I found at the job fair I attended yesterday. Plus, through a little networking through friends, I applied for some jobs at Wash U, and am looking for opportunities at Enterprise and Walgreens, of all places. No stone unturned, at this point. I need desperately to get out of this house, get a new car, and get on with attempting to being an adult.

HEHE. OF COURSE, TOO MUCH OF AN "APHRODISIAC" CAN BE. . . . A LET DOWN.

Alcohol



The Aphrodisiac You Should Try Is: Alcohol


Your sex life is not lacking in performance, just in theatrics.

And while you might be a bit shy about bringing out the double headed dildo...

After a few drinks, nothing seems like that big of a deal




Alcohol has been proven to lower inhibitions, making it the perfect aphrodisiac for the shy.

It also, raises the testosterone level in women (temporarily), causing higher libido

Ever heard the term, "liquid panty remover?" ;-)




Just make sure to remember moderation is the key

A little Red Bull and vodka can keep you primed - and focused

Or else, be prepared for some thick beer goggles!

I SPOKE TOO SOON. . .

Well, my day yesterday sucked. At least, while I was at work.

I found out "officially" that I was not going to be hired at SLUH around 10 am. I was then informed that my replacement was coming later that afternoon, to begin her training. Interesting. This woman obviously could not have finished the application and interview process in the time between 2 pm on Friday and 12 pm on Monday. I've a feeling that I wasn't *really* a contender for the position, and they were just yankin' my chain. Which of course, pisses me off even more, and makes me not even want to go in today. Besides, my position will officially end as soon as next Tuesday or Wednesday.

But, I've burned enough employment bridges in my time, and the little cash I'll make this week is less cash that I'll owe my parents, etc.

Last night, Michael and I celebrated his birthday at Modesto with his cute friends, who are a lesbian couple. I had a good time, but I obviously had a lot on my mind. (On top of finding out about my imminent unemployment, my direct deposit didn't go through on Monday, because of the fucking bank holiday. So, I couldn't even pay for dinner, as was my original birthday plan)

Michael noticed, and continually asked if everything was ok. I appreciated the concern, but after the third or fourth time, I became less appreciative. All well, it's the thought that counts, eh?

Well, I guess I'm off to work. My replacement has hours from 8-4:30, but *my* hours don't start until 9 am, and I'm not coming a minute too early. Fuck 'em.

GOOD WEEKEND, GOOD WEEKEND.

Which is good, considering the shitty week I had.

Friday night, I went out drinkin' and trivia playin' with some old school friends, in which I heartily won two of four games. (I rock!)

Saturday, after a relatively painless installation of a new window (grr, grr.), I went with Greg and Stephanie to The Taste of Soulard, where we stuffed ourselves full of food and drink.

That evening, I cooked an absolutely wonderful meal and watched a few movies with Michael, before heading to bed.

Today, the two of us had breakfast, headed back to Soulard for the Barkus Parade, then vegged out with a few movies. We ended the evening with fish 'n' chips at Dressel's Pub, and now, I'm home. Tomorrow is dinner with a few of his friends for Michael's birthday, and followed by a probable less socialized week, ending with a trip to Springfield this weekend with Greg.

Of course, I realize, as Jen has reminded me, that I'm not playing "The Rules," but I'm thoroughly enjoying myself, all the same.

Hopefully, tonight will be better (Steph's in town), and the tomorrow is V-Day, which I'll actually be celebrating with someone for the first time in about six years.

A PAIR OF BREAST THEORIES

Courtesy of one of my favorite people, Cory.

Read on, won't you?

The parallel coincidences of celebrities and mams.

Something occurred to me last night while listening to Diana Ross on the computer and even though I only have 2 examples to present in this case and the examples aren't exactly 100% dead on to one another, it still seems a wee bit mysterious, all the same.

Now, I'm not saying that Justin Trousersnake and Diana "whoa, look at the pink elephant in the rear-view mirror with the glowing cherries.." Ross' situations with female's breasts are as identical as most pairs of mams themselves but let's break down the similarities.
Diana Ross:

Starting in her youth, Diana was involved in one of the most successful all-girl groups of the sixties, The Supremes. As the band played in the background in most television appearances, they captivated audiences with infectious harmonies and glimmering smiles.

In the seventies, she broke free from the Supremes for her own solo career, driven by her own ego, which spun off numerous number one singles while performing duets with anyone who had a pulse during that decade. Her solo peaked somewhere around the late seventies/early eighties with the combination of her duet with Lionel Richie ("Endless Love") and her number 1 smash in 1980 ("Upside Down") working with one of the most successful producers of that time, Nile Rodgers. For a minute period, she was known for merely speaking in the middle of her songs, instead of singing.

From then until now, Diana has reached success in the club charts but pop charts paved the way for more sprightly acts. Diana is a class act but let's face it, fans can be fickle.

In 1999, while presenting an award along side Lil Kim in a purple, sparkly, evening gown that was intentionally cut a bit too low on one side with a pancake sized covering matching the dress while barely (literally) covering the nipple (as if there's a nicer way of saying 'nipple'). Diana, in her motherly way of showing disapproval, index fingered Kim's left breast like an unbroken dome of jello.

Justin Timberlake:

Starting in his youth, he was a regular on the Mickey Mouse club along with Britney Spears (she's a whole other post in itself -- but really, her "talent" isn't worth a whole lot of keystrokes from my fingers). Eventually, he was involved with one of the most successful boy bands of the nineties and after 2000 by the name of NSYNC. As NSYNC performed most television spots with pre-recorded music or the band in the background, they captivated the hearts of the young girls and gay men* around the globe.

*Provided that you are a gay man who finds the Trousersnake irrestible. I know he's not everyone'e type.

In 2002, Justin broke free from NSYNC to evolve as a solo artist, driven by his own ego, and released one of the most successful albums of 2003. Justin is also prone to duet either in the studio or live with anyone with vocal chords and a pulse. He is in the middle of his peak as I type this while he's still milking singles from "Justified" which was partially produced by two of the most successful producers as of late, The Neptunes and Timbaland. Justin, like Diana, is also known for spoken word as interludes included in his songs.

Last Sunday, at the 38th Super Bowl in Houston, TX, he ripped off part of Janet Jackson's costume and deemed it as a "wardrobe malfunction" creating Total-Eclipse-of-the-Breast effect with Janet's exposed mam behind a silver sun strategically placed in front of... the... nipple. *shrug*

As interesting as it was to call this a "wardrobe malfunction," I've seen some forms of velcro put up more resistance from a yank of his caliber on stage that night. Nonetheless, her eclipsed breast was exposed and controversy followed.

So, the similarities between Diana Ross and Justin Timberlake did occur to me last night in deep thought while listening to "You Keep me Hanging on." Heh... uncanny.

As of 2 am this morning, I am now an alumnus of a different University. No longer an SMSU alum, I'm now an alum of MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY.

After nearly ten years of defeated ballots, a five-day filibuster, and a compromise, we no longer have to see the annoying initials of "SWMU" on ESPN broadcasts. Of course, according to FOX 2 this morning, it won't be official until there are something like $190 million in bonds sold for the University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) campus.

Obviously, the finalized version hasn't been published yet, but for an idea of the bill's text, check it out here and here.

Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right.
