Waaah Waaah: That's the Debbie Downer noise you'll make when you realize what a slacker you are too
So I’m sitting here, all a-titter about writing my blog. After trying to shamelessly promote this thing to all my friends I received nice emails back from many people telling me about their blogs and their amazing – shit, strike that I’ve banned that word -unbelievable lives. After reading their blogs (and published articles for God’s sake) and hearing about what’s going on in their lives, I decided that maybe me talking about how last night’s episode of “Lost” REALLY pissed me off (right?) seemed kind of…lame.
So allow me to introduce you to 3 superbly cool, fantastic, talented, funny, creative wonderfully wonderful dudes. I don’t know if they watched “Lost” on Wednesday but if they did, I don’t want to know because it would piss me off even more that they had TIME to watch it.
Jaime: Jaime’s a copywriter and he too is seeking full-time employment. He’s very funny and talented and he’s pretty busy as he’s read about 611, 232 books. And that’s just since I met him a little over 2 years ago. I imagine his life total is somewhere in the gajillions. He knows a lot of stuff.
Ryan: I met Ryan back in the salad days of dot com. Ryan works for American Conservatory Theater, by day as a web guy who knows a lot of complicated programs and by night as a director, actor, writer and overall theater expert (I’m sure there’s a better word, but that’s what I call him). He’s unbelievably talented. He’s also starting his own theater company in San Francisco. He’s a photographer. And he built a 6-story building all by himself in less than 4 days. (Ok, so I made that one up but I'm sure he'll email me one day telling me he built a 6-story building one weekend for the hell of it)
Steve:: I’ve known Steve for um, 23 years. (Can that even be right? I work with people younger than that) I adore him. He’s got a doctorate in psychology and theology, a mortgage, his own practice, a dog and he and his lovely wife Shelley just made FOUR BABIES AT ONCE. QUADRUPLETS. That's a lot of babies. Oh, he also has a book deal pending. And he is some sort of contributor to this online magazine thing. What a fucking slacker.
So….who wants to read about how I badly I want a dog right now instead of a baby? Anyone?

funny stuff, rebecca. where are you? whattaya doin? your favorite teacher ever wants to know.
also, you should check out my blog. it's a diatribe on the socio-economic impact that papaya beans have had on southern guatemala.
First of all, I totally agree the last episode of Lost sucked because now it's getting predictable. I didn't watch much of the first season (I came in late) but I'm sensing a trend. The new shows that do well always have that problem everyone asks, where the HELL is this going? Prison break is not going to get a whole season out of this, Threshold is going to turn into the x-files if they're not careful, and I totally predicted that the son on American dad was gonna make out with his dead, fake grandpa's 90 year old friend! And no, I have no time for this stuff, I'm sooooo busy!
Though I appreciate your kind words, nothing I've ever written or done has as much penache as (1) your blog, (2) your overall sense of self-possesion and charisma, (3) your globetrotting goddessness, (4) your mastery of all things in culture, both high and low and (5) the rudiness of your cheeks at Yuletide.
Sorry I don't watch Lost. I watch Battlestar Galactica, and you wouldn't think I'm a nerd if you bothered to watch it. Best show ever. I think my mother-in-law watches Lost, though.
I wanted to start a blog, but I can't do better than this. Guess all that's left is to make another baby or ten.
Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a clancey brothers lyrics and music site.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
Greetings.
