Give me $2000 and I'll Tell You You're Pretty

You ever come to work and someone notices how you and your co-worker are wearing the exact same thing? For instance, today I am wearing dockers with a red golf shirt. My boss is wearing the same thing. I think we look like Circuit City employees. Someone invariably says,"Are you twins?" and then I always say,"Didn't you get the memo?" The common geek style is golf shirts and dockers. That is defined as real "Business Casual". At my last job the common style was button up shirts and dockers. That is defined as "Smart Business Casual". I do remember reading some article about how our geek style of golf shirts is out of style. If I was a metrosexual then I might be concerned. At the IRS it was a combination of Smart and Geek styles. There were at least one set of twins everyday. The common thing being wearing single color button shirts with dockers. For instance I had red, green and black shirts, so the odds are it would happen. Girls OTOH don't seem to have that problem. I think for them if someone else wears the same thing they have to go back and change. With guys we are like, cool I am glad I am not the only one. In other news, this weekend I got zero inches of rain and was stuck on the hurricane coverage all Friday night. I really think the media loves to blow things out of proportion, even before something happens. If I never hear the word "devastation" again I'll be happy. On Saturday I jammed with the remnants of my band and we brought in a praise and worship singer. He was pretty good. I can picture us being a band like Third Day or Caedmon's Call. I hope it sticks, that'd be cool to be in a band again. Saturday night I went to Macaroni Grill(Italian) and bowling with my Sunday School. I got at 111 and had to tell everyone about the "Patch" that I never got. Sunday I did the usual. This time when I was feeding the homeless a cult stopped by to help out. They called themselves Millennium 3. It was a weird thing. They brought food and everything and made it a contest to feed 100 people in 1 hour. Then they had to get back to their "Learning Center". Some girl in the cult then hugs me goodbye like we were family. I never even talked to her. Something is really weird with that. I think it was the ole "Franklin Covey" cult on steroids. People pay $2,000 to learn how transcend their minds. What hooey. They told me their group was from all around the country. Like it was "the group to be in". Why don't they give me $2000 and I'll teach them anything they want to know. Then I went home and watched the Cowboys win and Family Guy. Now that's transcending my mind. Go Cowboys!

Thought of the Day
"So you're angry that this bizarre carpet cabal made no attempt to abduct you?"
"They could've at least tried."
"You know, maybe they thought you look too smart to be brainwashed."
"Please."
"Too dumb?"
- Jerry and George, in "The Checks"

Comments:
our weekend was pretty busy. My folks stayed with us on Friday night. Jess and I got out for a little bit and went to the Frisco mall. Saturday, Jess had school, so Mom, Dad, Elaina, and I ent to Evan's 4th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese in Garland. You've never seen so many kids as Chuck E Cheese on a Saturday. Saturday night, we stayed in. I cleaned out my closet, watched Family Guy on DVD, and had a few Bourbon and Cokes. Sunday, we went to Jessica's niece's birthday party. It was at a roller skating ring in Lewisville. I didn't know those places still existed. When we got home, I watched the Cowboys win, then saw a few Sunday night shows.
