• Friday Afternoon Natural Sunlight

  Sometimes, I want to remember an event or story in my life without actually blogging about it.  And I have a method to take care of that.  I just put in a seemingly random odd sentence, and then when I read it like 2 or 3 years later, I'll remember what I was trying to say.  And I'll think, "Oh, that happened on that day.  Good to know."
  
  For example, on one June day a few years back I wrote "My favorite magician from the early 20th century is Harry Houdini." Seemingly random.  Not at all.
  
  So, for the record: Worst Night Ever.  Rodney King.
  
  I need to make some major changes in my life.  I guess my current pattern is perfectly acceptable for early 20s, but I don't really wanna keep it up much longer.
  
  I go to Kroger all the time because it's like 50 yards from my house.  And I often go wearing my work clothes - generally a polo shirt and some slacks.  And I've now been mistaken for a Kroger employee 3 times. This happens most when I wear my red shirt / black pants combination on the last work day of the week - ala Tiger Woods.
  
  I mean, come on! Didn't you see me in the parking lot? I drive a 99 Mustang!  Do you think I could afford that on a grocery stocker's salary?  And my shoes! They are genuine leather.  I don't have plastic bags ducttaped to my feet instead of shoes.  Conclusion: I don't work at Kroger.
  
  Here's another Kroger related phenomenon.  When I just want to take a trip to the store, but I still kind of want to look dressed up, I'll put on my NWO shirt.  It was originally stolen ERRR permamently borrowed from George Deutsch about 7 years ago now. 
  
  
  
  It is like a man-crush aphrodesiac for all the 30 something Kroger workers.  I've worn it there like twice and have gotten multiple comments.  They always light up with glee and say something like "Yeah! New World Order!"
  
  I guess wrestling fans from 10 years ago often turn into grocery store employees.  Go Figure.
  
  Epilogue - Some other show was on instead of Cash Cab on the Discovery Channel at 5 the other day.  I hope this was a temporarary phenomenon or there will be hell to pay.
  
  Epilogue to the Epilogue - I go to Austin tomorrow then I have the Nike10K Sunday Night.  It is a chip timed race.  If I don't beat my time from March I will be sad. I wish I could race against my ghost, like you could in Time Trial in Mario Kart. 
  
  Basically, I want this guy running next to me in ghost form.
