So the electrician working on my wiring has a Nickelback cell phone ring. It just went off. “LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRALF!!!! EVERY TIME I DO IT MAKES ME LARF!!!” I think that’s pretty special. It’s so nice of Clearchannel to give those poor retarded boys all that radio play. That lead singer guy might look like Jesus on methamphetamines, but the way he overcame that speech impediment to become a platinum selling artist is still pretty inspiring… or alternatively… a sign of the apocalypse.
Speaking of inspiring stories, everyone should go out and rent “Murderball.” It’s a documentary about the U.S. Paralympic rugby team. Basically it’s quadriplegics ramming each other with wheelchairs that are modified to look like something Mel Gibson would drive in “Road Warrior”. If you are feeling down on yourself or unlucky, then that movie is a kick in the ass. Seeing guys who have limited access to their extremities who are that passionate about what they are doing and who are enjoying their lives is a humbling thing. On the other hand, if you are feeling awkward, or like you haven’t been doing that well with the ladies, that movie is a kick square in the testicles. Half of the quadriplegics on the squad are dating really attractive girls. Coming to that particular realization while watching the documentary by myself on a Friday night wasn’t exactly a morale boost.
