The unicorns go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah...
This is another random thoughts column, but there is going to be a recurring theme running through it. Instead of focusing on sports or movies, I will use this space to bash and sell out my friends and acquaintances. Good times should be had by all.
Rita, otherwise dubbed the "Wacky Iraqi", makes her debut in my column today. Any girl who has a crush on Jesus, thinks that "totty" rhymes with "batty" because they both end in 'y', and who says lines like "I miss Uday", will likely become a fixture in this column.
One more Rita note: when she and her friends stopped by Saturday night, we showed them pictures from last weekend's party. This seems like an innocuous enough activity, but Rita seemed to take great offense to this picture. With no words, only a grunt, she ripped it into three pieces. Sorry Liz.
Vanessa, it was nice to finally get a chance to meet you last night...even though I am not sure if you were in the state to remember that this occurred. If you have any questions about it, ask your boyfriend. I never got his name, but he stuck closer to you than a shadow when you came out of the bar to meet me. Insecure, much?
So far I have only been making fun of people I don't know that
1) "Honey and the Moon" - Joseph Arthur
2) "Move Your Feet" - Junior Senior
3) "Steppin' Out"- Big Gipp
4) "You Can Have it All" - Yo la Tengo
5) "Heroin'" - Velvet Underground
6) "Black Math" - The White Stripes
7) "Into the Mystic" - Van Morrison
8) "Thin Line" - Jurassic 5
9) "The End of the Road" - Virginia Coalition
10) "Where Have All The Rude Boys Gone"- Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
I love Jeremy because he is very multi-dimensional. As Exhibit A, I offer an email I received from him this weekend. In discussing his recent trip to Cuba, he starts off seriously, but quickly moves on to what is important: From a political and cultural standpoint, it was the most interesting place I have ever visited.It also had some pretty sweet beaches where I saw some boobies!!! Whoo!!!
There is comedy, there is high comedy, and then there is watching Rob walk that fine line between the good guy everyone knows him as and his inner id.
For those of you who don't know, I have an adorable pet hamster whom I love very much. And, no, I do not mean in the Lemmiwinks kind of love. Anyways, Matty the hamster, whom I inherited from an ex, is a major source of amusement for me. But I must admit, I am a little bit uncomfortable being a single guy who owns a hamster. Let us look back a year to the movies of 2002. What guys had a pet hamster in the movies? Marcus from About a Boy and Cy, the photo guy, from One Hour Photo. What do these two have in common? They are both very disturbed social outcasts. I love Matty and am definitely keeping her, so all of you make sure to check in on me to confirm that my mental state stay stable.
I am thinking about creating a new specialty page for this site. On it would contain all those memorable quotes that seem to happen every weekend, but often get lost amongst the drunken haze. I would need help from all of you for this endeavor. Basically, anytime anyone who I know says something ridiculous in your company, please email me and I'll update the quote board. I know I'm stealing a little bit from the Thresher Backpage...so sue me. I never claimed to be original. Give me feedback and let me know if you like this idea.
As I mentioned earlier, our neighbors must have a totally distorted sense of the prowess of the guys in my house. Last week, it was very evident that four girls stayed with us all weekend. And this morning, Rob, Jeff, and I ran into our next door neighbor Mike as we left for breakfast with three cocktail waitresses. I wish my life was half as interesting as it appears from the outside.
I really, really like playing poker, but I have come to the realization that I am absolutely terrible at it. So I either have to resign myself to losing twenty bucks every time that we play, or I have to stop playing. Sadly, that is a very tough call.
ATTENTION ALL MALE READERS IN TEXAS...
We are currently planning foran event in a couple weeks that you most certainly want to be in on. If you want to be involved (and trust me, you definitely want to be involved) please contact Rob, Jeff, or I to help plan the details.
To my knowledge, no one hooked up on Rob's bed this week.
Finally, I'm not in a place in my life to give any of you crap about anything. Hell, I'm Glenn, the guy who is going to law school because he needs the financial aid money to pay his rent.
