makes me so sad

There are a lot of things that make me sad... things that other people do. The people that do them... well thats another story.

For one thing, Now that I am in my thirties I try to avoid talking about things I did in high school. Not that it wasn't a great time in my life, I've simply lived enough since then that I find I have other things to talk about. I find that people who are still talking high school sports glory stories at my age are really, rather pathetic.

Worse than that are people in their twenties that have no high school sports stories to tell, yet manage to find plenty to talk about thanks to time spent playing peewee football or Jr. Jazz...

If the best you can do in the realm of conversation is talk about your city league sports days when you were in 8th grade, you should probably shut the fuck up. I don't care who you tackled, or who you boxed out to the floor, or how many times you fouled out... there is no one on this planet who gives a flying fuck. Not to mention the fact that it simply rubs the guys who have only Junior Varsity stories the wrong way.

JUST LET IT GO!

Another thing... I was recently privy to a serious debate on what was the better show, Sesame Street or Between the Lions. I guess there may be a time and place for that if you happen to be a parent or... I don't know... six years old. If you are a single male between the ages of 21 and 25 and you have no kids and you are having this discussion there is a very good chance that you are never going to get laid.

Ever.

Never ever.

And just so you know the Mr. Belvedere Fan Club guys are going to beat the living shit out of you. Not only because they can, but because you desperately need it.

You should probably start running.

And for the record, Sesame Street is WAY better.
