average joe: hawaii

man…average joe sort of pisses me off…wait, no. larissa of average joe sort of pisses me off. she continues to be the superficial wench that we all suspected her of being. sure, put a bunch of hot guys next to the average joes and i guess one should expect that the beauty queen would gravitate towards them…but argh.

what’s surprising to see is that all of the insecurities of the guys really comes out. one of them was quoted as saying “all of the insecurities of 6th grade came rushing back.” which is kind of sad.

insecurity is such a powerful force. it can take what normally is a sane, rational person and turn them into an unreasonable and mean person. these guys on average joe who suffer from the insecurity problems immediately became hostile to these average joe hunks just because they felt threatened by their presence. nevermind that these hunks did nothing to provoke such hostility. nevermind that these guys could actually be decent, good guys. no, instead, we let insecurity reign in and insults are thrown, hostilities mount, and everyone is left uncomfortably mad at each other.

it’s a shame because we see that these average joes are actually pretty good guys and then their insecurities get the better of them and they turn into these monsters which ultimately is a big turn off for larissa and they shoot themselves in the foot.

it’s a pity, really.

i’m not really liking this season of average joe much. i wonder how it is doing in the ratings.

catching up

ooooh, i haven’t seen one of [url=http://www.daydreamy.com/2004_01_01_archive3.htm#107519333481314656]these[/url] in a long time. it’s an ally mcbeal quote! i thought i was the only one who remembered that show. i guess i’m in good company with [url=http://www.daydreamy.com]gg[/url].

i miss the show. i thought the first several seasons were quite good. before all the insanity started to kick in. but it was nice to see the spirit of the show live on.

speaking of which, i think i have the dvd of the first couple of seasons. maybe i ought to go watch them again for nostalgia’s sake.

super bowl sunday?

oh man…the super bowl starts at 3pm on sunday. 3pm. i have a volleyball game on sunday at 7pm. which means i should be there at 6:50, which means i need to leave my place by 6:20. which means i have to start getting ready by 6:10. which means that i probably won’t be able to throw the usual super bowl sunday party….what’s worse is my fear that the game will last more than 3 hours….what if i miss part of the game? i wonder if it’ll be a good game.

hmmmm. what to do? what to do? i had grand plans of BBQ’ing up a storm too! maybe i’ll have a very early dinner….or a very late dinner. hmmmmm.

be aware of what you wear

i bought a shirt from geoffrey beane over the weekend. today, i decided to wear it. in the shirt pocket was a little scrap of paper. it read:

BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU WEAR
Over 2/3 of the clothes supplied to us are made in SWEATSHOPS.
Was this garment made in a sweatshop?
Ask the manager or owner — Let them know your views on worker exploitation.
More info? www.u-can.org
Don’t wear their suffering on your back!

hmmm…i wonder how many people check the pockets of the garments they are going to buy before buying it. it never ocurred to me to check the shirt pocket.

but this begs a greater question: did a bunch of people raid this store and secretly put all these scraps in every pocket without the salesmen finding out? hmmmm.

little more variation

i learned a few new games last night to try out for poker night. the two new games introduced were steal my heart and duck, duck, goose! both games were interesting, i think that i enjoy the heart stealing game more. i want to learn a few more games to vary the card night. we had quite a lot of people last night, so much so that 7 card games were not possible.

i think that i may have to start expanding the games to something that may span multi-decks or learn more card-sharing games. we’ll see.
