This episode is brought to you by fifteen minutes of crush on the 32 yr-old pretty-the-way-models-are-pretty profile that just popped up on whatever.com. A (different) favorite feed of mine occasionally has these fashion / lifestyle / photographer show-off pieces with the beautiful girl in the giant, black, frames. The glasses become symbolic of the photography process itself, it’s just that beautiful. One of her profile photos could be from that hipster portfolio. Maybe it is. She was holding a (real) camera in another one. If it was done poorly, I’d tell you she was probably just spam.
She’s studying Same Major As My Wife’s. Sure statistically, plenty of cool women will study that. Just like plenty of women will be sitting in The Place We Met. It won’t play well. It’s going to add definite friction to an already high friction situation.
Yeah, yeah, “not the good kind.” Ba-dum-ching.
So I got nothin’. Nothing else I know to say to her. Saying something about the music, movies, or books she listed would require Google. It’s like when you’re watching Jeopardy and a category comes up and you say to yourself how you’re going to kill this, and then it’s “Don’t know it. Don’t know it. …”
I went with a touch of existensial angst re: her major and how cool I think it is, but, … you know. Detonate it early and collect whatever consolation points for being honest. Followed this with a quick reference to related books I had both liked and neglected and asked how mere mortals get access to her department’s library of brain candy.
We’ll see if she stops by to borrow my copy of the one that’s always checked out. Not banking on it.
One of the younger guys I met over the weekend confessed the levels of douchebaggery he was drunkenly talking, but we all know, and he knows, that douchebaggery will get you a lot more ass-tappery (ahem…as it were). I over-compensate for the filthy, disgusting things that go through my mind with real life confessions of imaginary, future slights. The fear of the slippery slope to flipped collars and Too Much Hair Product keeping me the wrong kind of honest.
I happen to came across onto this site and it is a well written article, a little on the long end of the read but pretty satisfactory one.
Really like the graphics and navigation of the blog, nice color scheme and well put together.
other blogs are just way too stuffed with advertisements
