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.

Hey, this is your reminder for what you need to do this month according to Cosmo. You have less than thirty days to accomplish it and report back. Apparently, you will be having a fight with a close friend this month (start one if you have to) which will end up with a heart to heart over drinks (I suggest a few rounds of appletinis), eventually bringing you closer. It looks like a busy month for you ‘cause in addition to that, you have to somehow end as the target of office gossip (I’m sure you’ll manage it). However, it seems that after all the stress at the office; you’ll have to blow off some steam, quite literally. (I’m quoting this so don’t blame me...) After meeting a new fling “don't be shy about asking them to head south when Mercury increases your need for oral affection tonight.” How’s that for a Happy Birthday? I expect to hear how it all went (minus certain details of course) by the beginning of next month, so you can receive your next set of assignments. Good Luck! P.S. Happy Late Birthday
Will we be seeing you for Christmass? Hope so, but if not, Ashleigh and I will be coming to NY (you know what for...) in January and if I can fit you in between my illegal shopping trips, I'd really love to see you.
Jack Shepherd, you are the reason for the agony we endured last night. Your moving to New York promised this crap. Come back home and let's hope the Redskins Gods forgive us for breaking tradition. That is all.
True story: I saw the dude from those annoying FreeCreditReport. com ads (you know, with the singing and the guitar-playing and the lamenting over the lack of forethought that prevented said annoying man from visiting said web site prior to, say, buying a car?). And I thought, "Is that Jack?" But it wasn't you. Then I went to see the movie Choke. And I brought the FCR. com guy along with me (sans guitar). And everyone in the movie theater was like, "Woah, you brought the star of this movie to the movie." And I was like, "No. This is the guy from FreeCreditReport. com." The star of Choke is actually my friend, Jack Shepard.
