Old Friends, New Friends, Red Friends, Blue Friends

I can not believe how many people have called me or sent me messages because they read my blog so why not. Its pretty cool seeing that I like people and everything. Maybe this will also make red friends or blue friends.

Also two other people have started blogs so hit up http://degausser24.blogspot.com and http://yousillybear.blogspot.com/

Right now the Jets are owning so that is always good... and the Giants are 3-0 also (its a good year for teams who say they are from NY but are really from NJ.) Applying to jobs so I can get in the 9-5 grind and actually watch some more games.

Two questions I would like to pose, one with some backstory:

1) So the other day I went with some friends to a trapeze event and an 8 year old girl missed. Everyone ended up giving her another shot and she grabbed it. Thunderous applause while Dan could only call it ageism. So is ageism good/bad? Should we keep kids happy so they can be happy at some point or just have them "prepared for a life full of lies and failing relationships"?

2) Does anyone put their wallet in the back left pocket...cause I do and everyone else seems to think right is the way to go.

Get at me at blog ideas, and keep reading cause it might get better and what else are you doing...

Here, not there

I stayed in tonight because I had a pretty stressful night. It was relaxing but I wish the stress had ended a little earlier or I could sleep in tomorrow. Hope jobs call me at some point in life.

On the plus side I see Eddie tomorrow and Dawes on Sunday so life is good.

On the more amusing note I am only 17 pages into Chuck Klosterman's book Downtown Owl and I am starting to enjoy it. Unfortunately I am getting to sleepy when I read but the idea of how an older man, a 23 year old teacher and a high school football quarterback all relate in a hometown should be good - also his first work of fiction. I do think it is crazy that getting high has already came up twice. You think your environment is normalcy and damn is Chuck Klosterman around a lot of weed.

As long as he is successful and not politically lobbying for or against it he really is not hurting anyone. Right on Mr. Klosterman write stories about your life that aren't PC.

Who is the main character on The Office?

This question seems like a pretty reasonable one. Their is a television show that is going into its 6th popular season so it should be apparent by now who the main character(s) is/are, but really it isn't. I started talking to Dan yesterday about this at the infamous diner and it led into today talking to Jay and we got three very distinct answers. I am going to try and explain all of these answers so we can figure out which makes the most sense...

Steve Carrel/Michael Scott:

One: the British version of the show was centered around this character because he was a creator of the show.

Two:Michael Scott has the advantage of being played by the only actor who was at all famous before the Office

Three: Steve Carrel was nominated for the Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy series.

Four: Many people believe the humor is based off of Michaels character

John Krasinski/Jim Halpert

One: He is the character that develops throughout the show and has the most involved personal life

Two: The character that you are most likely to relate too

Three: Part of the main romantic relationship

ChaCha's answer was: Jim, Michael, Pam and Dwight **If you don't know ChaCha is a free service that will answer any question that is asked through a text message, only standard text messaging rates apply. 1-800-224-2242**

This answer did not make sense to me at first but then I remembered why I thought Jim Halpert was the main character. It is because I feel that the best type of entertainment is entertainment that I can relate to. I can relate to him because he is always making sure everyone around him knows what ridiculous things are going on and is always thinking about awkward situations. This is the same reason why I like the dialog from Thank You For Smoking at the Carnival...

"cause I am not after you...I am after them"

Once I realized the I like Jim because I can relate to him and I enjoy relating to characters I realized why Pam and Dwight could be equally main characters. A female looking for someone to relate to would clearly go to Pam and anyone who thinks that Cramer is the reason for Seinfeld's success or beliefs that ridiculous comedy is the key to The Office would have to go with Dwight.

So there you have it folks... I think about the Office way to much. Who do you think is the main character and why?

How I Got Here

So it is 2:54am and I have been thinking a lot about how I need a hobby and I do not think that blogging is the solution... but it IS 2:54am and I am mad about tonight so my options are limited. This blog will probably fade after 5 or 6 posts but that is what I thought when I first started tweeting and I enjoy that so much it inspired me to get here. I also posted the first Facebook note of my life in the last two weeks so this is almost inevitable. Although this may keep my attention I would really appreciate anyone with any ideas for other hobbies to come forward sooner rather then later (or job opportunities for that matter.)

So back to tonight and why I was enraged. I would like to preface the story by explaining that I understand I may be wrong but this is about more then just coffee and $1.30. My friend Dan came home this afternoon because his school was being evacuated (this world is unreal) and we wanted to hang out and not spend any money. For those of you out there living pretty much anywhere (especially suburbia) you realize that this is an almost impossible task because if you are anything like me most of your time is spent driving around in circles, at a food establishment, or doing some illicit activity that costs more then it should. We decided our solution would be to go to the Mohegan Diner and get a cup of coffee with some free refills and chill out.

The reason that this is about more then a coffee is because the Mohegan Diner is basically where we all grew up. We went to the diner after every theater show, school dance, bad night, good night, snow day and even prom. I have probably spent more money there then I made throughout my high school career. When I went away to college the diner changed and prices went up and we all realized life was different but some of my friends still go there and we enjoy ourselves.

At the least its free refills on coffee, or so I thought...

We had four cups of coffee each and kept getting harassed about buying some food. After the the fourth cup we realized we had overstayed our welcome and asked for the check. We were again asked if we wanted to order food and politely declined. We were then given a check with four coffees (as I thought might have happened after the third cup of coffee when we both got different cups) and this made me livid. As I told this story to people and write it down I realize that I am wrong on paper. I got two free cups of coffee but as I said that isn't the point.

If I can not go to my diner and grab a few cups of coffee for the price of one what is this world coming to? And why do I not have anywhere else to go?

Feedback is appreciated...
