In high school, we used to play this game called the Funny-Awesome Key Game. The two players would sit about five feet away from each other with their backs against opposite walls. Before the game, both participants would agree on a set of keys to use, preferably heavy ones with, like, a bottle opener or a Swiss Army Knife. The first player would throw his keys against the opposite wall to make them slide down onto his adversary's head. If you threw the keys really high, you would lose accuracy, but the impact would be all the more intense. Then the second player would get his turn, and so on, until Math class. The game was called the Funny-Awesome Key Game because it was both funny and awesome, and because it involved keys. My life is like the solo version of the Funny-Awesome Key Game with no keys and no Math class. I also have a cat.
Now I have a blog that's in video format!
It's called The Ex President. There is also some good, old-fashioned text in it, so people don't get too frightened by all the novelty.
Who I'd like to meet: If I could go back in time and stuff, I would like to meet myself on the day that I lost my black Redskins hat, so I could figure out what I did with it and tell me not to do that.

Ok, this thing is messed up...I was trying to leave a comment about your photo in your album, and it says I'm not your friend. Hell, you're in my Top 24! (go check)
:)
Anyway, had to get a closer look there. I swear I thought you were holding a mouse and those were little traps...I thought "whhhaaaaa???"
hello dear friend. i miss feeding you. i barely cook these days. your hungry and inability to cook was obviously my inspiration.
so i need your help, dear friend. i'm 33 now and my memory is going to hell it seems. i can't remember who opened for rilo kiley in june 2006. you know, the night i broke my right foot. was it the brunettes or was it blonde redhead? i believe it was the brunettes, and i'm only thinking blonde redhead because we saw them at a different time but the band name still has a 'b' in it.
Oh Jack Shepherd, my dear Jack Shepherd. Why have you not been tending to your flock? Your sheep continue to show up on my land and devour all of my asparagus plants. Please do a better job at shepherding, my asparagus plants thank you in advance.
this is going to sound semi-insane (but who isn't?), today was my first day sitting down and reading your blog, most of the comments, etc. and i posted for the first time too...Question: is it always this heated? I should go off and read all the other posts but I know I'll just get lost in it, and I DO need to do some work today. lol, great fun. love the dialogue. ;) ta!
