EMAIL: A good way to stay in touch (but you have to make the effort to write)

Since my brother is the only person who reads this blog anyway, I may as well write this entry instead of emailing him. At least it’s on a different site and I can feel like I’m doing something different.

Initially I was going to rant about the fact that my brother doesn’t write me ever but I just received an email from him so he’s off the hook for now.

Today I’ve had a productive day at work. It feels good. I’ve noticed that I actually feel bad if I’ve spent the day doing nothing. Maybe its knowing that I’m getting away with something and that one day it will come back to haunt me. Who knows.

Last night I stayed up late to watch NBA 360. Man that guy has a gay voice. What was also wierd was that there were stretches of up to 10 minutes where there was no commentary, just highlights. Strange.

You know what else is strange? Eddie House has a tattoo on his shoulder that reads “E.House”. Maybe he thought he would forget his first inital and last name. Why not “Eddie House” though? Or his social security number? Or AIM password?

Maybe it was two for one at the tattoo parlour that day and he just couldn’t think of another tat. Or maybe he had credit on his account at the parlour for another tat that would run out at the end of the month and he wasn’t going to go back, they charge by the letter and he ran out of cash and there was no ATM around and they don’t accept credit, and being thrifty, he thought he might as well use up his points.  Who knows, there could be a number of logical reasons.

I also noticed something else last night. I was watching an episode of Columbo with my dad and one of the characters said “beef”. And by beef I don’t mean the meat of a cow, but “drama”  or “jump off” or “Rexel head”. Maybe not Rexel head, I just made that up.

Anyway the point is I had no idea that “beef” had been in the american vernacular for so long. But then again I live in the age of the remix, maybe even blogs are retro. Everyone probably use to do this ish with typewriters.

Speaking of typewriters, I watched a little bit of Mad Men the other night, it’s basically a show which gives white guys a chance to be  really racist again. But it’s “accurate to the period” so like, keep it in context. Obama’s president okay? What more do you want?

Also, what’s up with the huge black frame Steve Urkel glasses trend? Get real.
