Wow, really?

So perhaps some of you got my email about this volunteer opportunity in Brooklyn. I had signed up for this organization to help plants trees. I traveled a lot in August and wanted to 'offset' my carbon footprint a little bit. This organization wants $100 for a damn TWIG, so I decided to donate my time instead. Well this day I was suppose to be out in Brooklyn at 9:30am. For those of you who don't know how far away Brooklyn is from my place, well, trust me - it's far. Anywho, I had plans to take it easy Friday night and stay in so I could wake up early. Well, wrong. I got a text from a friend about Boy's night at Fuerza Bruta. This is a picture from the show:Now, I know what you're thinking: 'What the hell?' Well, that's exactly what you think the entire show, but you bask in it's amazement at the same time. This is the type of show that you can't be 100% sober for. So we had dinner and Benton's bright idea was to do sake bombs at dinner, and you know I can't say no to sake bombs. I was successfully tipsy by the time we arrived for the show. I allotted myself to go out after for 1 drink and 1 drink only. Cause in the morning I had to:I even set 4 alarms to wake me up early enough to get there on time! I woke up at 11:45 looking like this:

Ok, not AS bad as this, but I did sleep through my alarm which was annoying since I clearly made an effort to volunteer. Don't worry, I'm checking myself into: www.promises.com

Naps with Erin

Hello All-

Now Erin sleeps over sometime. In case some of you don't know who she is, well, it's not that important. Anywho 'this girl' sleeps over at my place sometimes. I like it. She's enjoyable, and I like the company in bed. Now, I know what you're thinking: wasn't he.......

....well yes I am. This is why this presents a problem. Well I let her sleep over under one condition. I get to build a barrier. It's actually more than a barrier, it looks something like this:


Because I know what she secretly wants which is this:

Erin and I were bored at work, and you benefited....

My dearest Erin-

I have drafted this note to you in order to tell you that I'm quitting my life and moving to Hogwarts. I'm tired of my boring life that involves me moving papers around, shipping things to people, socializing with people I dont really care for, and drinking. Well, let's hope Hogwarts has some great booze, otherwise I'm not going.

Now, I know what you're thinking! This is why I decided to email you and inform you of this decision. Yes! A million times YES! You are MORE than welcome to join me on this adventure. In fact I hope you do, for that train ride looks scary and I don't want to do it alone. Think of it you + me + magic!

Now, comes the part where we have to decide which type of wizards' we want to be. I am shedding this life and with it, my personality (why are you applauding?). So I'm up for suggestions on what type of person to be in the future. All I know is that I don't want to be the red headed one. For I do not like red heads. Except the one from Will and Grace, she's pretty. Enough! That was our old life, no more referencing reality tv shows, the friends we associated with, and a benefit to the both us: our past sexual escapades!


Dear Play Doh Boy,

I recognize your desire to get away from it all (especially the redheads of the world), but really, do you think this is the bests olution? Hogwarts is a boarding school, so I'm sure there's more cocaine than alcohol, and I know you don't like to be away from absolut for too long.


Besides, I've seen the movies, and there only seems to be one or two minorities (although the way Hermione's hair is, she's definitely gotsome coffee in her milk), and now that you live in Harlem, me thinksyou'll miss the colorful palette of humans and Nikes alike.

Alas, if you're set on going to Hogwarts, I'll of course go with you. We'll join the Slytherins, and I shall shed my sunshiny demeanor and torture people by feeding on their insecurities and making them cry themselves to sleep at night. It'll be just like high school all over again. I shall call you Mr. Biggems and you shall wear an eye patch.

Of course, there is still time to reconsider. Maybe instead, we should move to Chicago and be on Dance TV with Sarah Jessica Parker....

Love,Erin

Erin-

As I do in life quite often I have changed my mind. Instead I think you and I shall become reality tv stars. This way you get to be what you've always wanted to be: famous for no reason and I will get laaaaaid.

This way I can have cocaine AND alcohol for starters. You know I can't live without my vices. Also, you're right, a uniform everyday? I'd go mad (Slytherin mad). I definitely need a place where I can express my freedom and individuality with mass produced Nike's!

Now as far as our shedding the old identities and obtaining new ones this is perfect for reality tv. Not only will the edit dept. decide what kind of people we should be I've put some thought into it also. You can be the 'black woman who is bitter at the world for opressing her on so many different levels' and I'll be the 'Naive gay boy who doesn't understand why race is such a big deal, yet constantly mad at the world for thinking he is the typical gay (said with a lisp)' However we find common ground in Dance Dance Revolution. End scene.

Love,Matthew

PDB-
The only problem is, I'm Blackish, not Black. They'll want that"attitude" thing that Robert Townsend describes so well in his masterpiece "Hollywood Shuffle," and we all know that deep down, I'm white, sadly. But that's what comes of growing up in Kansas. Wait!That's it! Our reality show shall be called Growing Up Kansan, and we'll watch as two Kansans (us) try to make it in the big city. That way, we don't actually have to go to Kansas, and we'll still get to be on TV. And maybe, just maybe, there will be cookies....

Sincerely,Erin

Kansan Erin (for this is what we shall refer to one another during the show-no it's not awkward)-

I'm afriad, if there aren't cookies, I wont be doing anything! Now, I did have this plan to make you 'blacker' and it was going to be a lot of fun (since it wont be happening I wont dangle all the fun in front of you then take it away but it did involve a lot of kentucky fried chicken and possibly a rental of a hummer with rims) This is going to work! Now, do we know anyone in the entertainment, show producing, making random people famous arena? No. This could possibly be a problem. However, at my job I've learned to be a 'solution thinking' individual. I say we sleep with as many people as we possibly can and then we'll eventually sleep with someone who can help us. This process can also include cookies. Just fyi. (disclaimer: This photo was the only picture available at time of post, however there will be no women used in this sleep to become famous game)
-Kansan Matthew

Kansan Matthew,

This sounds like the best plan I've heard all day. Now go. Go sleeparound! But careful not to get crumbs in the bed.

Love,
Kansan Erin

Whatever happened to pogs?

Well when I was a bit younger I totally use to collect these useless things called: Pogs. Now the great thing about them was you just wanted as many as possible. You would gather later at night and go through all the cool ones you have in your pog holder tube. I remember always loving the skull ones. Not too sure what that tells me about my life, but meh. Anyway I was discussing with Jill about the absence of pogs and she said 'you seem like the type of person who would have all the cool accessories, etc. Um, hell yeah I did:
The neon tube, the numerous pogs, the slammers, and the SLAMMER BOARD! Mine was red in the cut out of a saw with an 8 ball painted onto it. I pretty much rocked. I wonder why I stopped collecting them......oh yeah, I'd look like the guy below if I hadn't:

The summer of high fives!

So I've noticed something I've been doing a lot recently. It's a high five. I searched and searched and SEARCHED for a picture of the Saved by the Bell high five-but alas the internet was not on my side. So I found a few images of high fives for you as an 'instruction manual' to your summer of high fives.

The classic, up in the air High Five:

A high five for freedom?!:

My favorite, the high five with cartoon characters:

Now, you may be wondering, 'When is it appropriate to do a High Five'? This is a good concern. You dont want to do it too much that you kill it before the summer is over. So here are the top 5 reasons to do a high five:
1 You just got laid
2 Say a witty joke "That's what she said."
3 Scoring a goal during a game
4 You shell out a fierce come back that usually involves an 'oooooooo'
5 You went to get ice cream and its 2-4-1 day!
******Virutal High Five***********
