It has been kindly brought to my attention something that may interest you if you find it hysterical to read up on the dumb dicks and douche bags from www.thedirty.com.

There is a relatively new find that emphasizes the douchbaggery that inundates our society every day.  If you are unclear with the term, it references those douche bags in action.  This includes, but does not limit to, Jersey Blow Outs (jager bombs), bandana wearing/thousand cross bearing/west side throwing white dudes from North Dakota, or balding yoked dudes wearing speedos (they do exist).

So it is my pleasure to give you www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com.

Let me just clarify this is not me claiming they are hot chicks; in fact, The Dirty should steal some of their evidence and use it if they haven't already.

True Story

I walked into the elevator of one of my hotels this morning and was joined by one of the construction workers. I pressed the top floor, he pressed the second. He then says:

"Is heaven on the top floor? Because I see an angel."

Really? Has that ever worked? Be honest, I won't judge.

America's Best Dance Crew Live

Have you ever been to an event/meeting/gathering where you didn't really fit in? Did it feel awkward, yet no one else, but the person you are with, noticed? That is basically the feeling I got going to see America's Best Dance Crew Live on Saturday night. Usually I wouldn't admit to going to such an event because, let's be honest, it's lame and you know you will immediately get made fun of. But since I have such a great sense of humor, I can rough this one out. Oh and let's throw Julia under the bus too because she commuted from Orange County to see it :)

Regardless, can we please talk about the people in attendance. Let's just say for those of you from San Diego, it was Mira Mesa meets Lemon Grove. If you aren't from here, shoot me a message and I'll fill you in. Needless to say, Julia and I stuck out like sore thumbs. We also sat in the back so no one would bother us, but low and behold two girls deemed it necessary to sit directly next to Julia because the three rows ahead and behind us that were completely empty apparently weren't sufficient.

The best part of the show is when the rap remix of the most mainstream songs came on and the 11 year old girl in front of us lost her shit. She acted like this was the high point of her life and started to have what looked like a seizure. I believe it was dancing but it was hard to tell. I thought her and her silver Dorothy shoes, leg warmers and teal leggings were the peak, but when Soulja Boy came on, her and the 30 something year old man across the aisle (she wasn't with him) busted out the dance like it was nobody's business. It was the most aggressive rendition of Soulja Boy I have ever encoutered. Julia and I were hypervenalating with laughter.

And if you haven't seen JBWKZ before - They are pretty entertaining and from San Diego, so, as you can imagine, the arena went ape shit over any performance they did. For those of you who aren't familiar with JBWKZ stands for Jabbawockeez; I am well versed in this nomanclature because I am now ABDC educated. Thank you Randy Jackson.

The Pharmacy

As some of you know I haven't been feeling to hot the past few days, so I caved and got some medicine to remedy the problem.  I went to the pharmacy to pick it up like normal and the pharmacist is explaining what the deal is.  Now let me set this up:

Me [tired from work, sleepy, need a nap]

Old Pharmacy Dude [old, wrinkly, awkward, white hair, 6'1", glasses won't look straight at me]

Now he does the explaining, I grab for the bag of goods and then he pauses and holds onto the bag.  He looks at me awkwardly and says:

"You know the deal when you take antibiotics, you should use another form of birth control within the next week."

I just stared at him blankly, said "I know.  It's common sense," and walked away awkwardly.  I wasn't sure if I should be offended or not because I've never been stopped like that.

But thank you old man for that reminder, now go home and tell your wife you did your good deed of the day for not bringing another adolescent into the world.

Dating

Dating in general is weird. You are sitting through a dinner/coffee/drinks/etc. with a stranger you don't know and trying to figure out if you can tolerate them in large time frames. What a freakin concept. What is more, is that you do it repeatedly - Probably torturing yourself more than you want - Just to find something that clicks. Did the knight in shining armor and prince charming give up? What ever happened to the fairytale playing out?

I know it won't, but its fun to dream, ain't it?

What's cool, on the other hand, is when it works. Not sure if it will in the long run or last until next week but if you have a good time/laugh/talk/etc. it makes for a good night (and good gossip for your girlfriends the next day). I think I forgot what it was like to date people - not exclusively or anything - but casually -it's fun. I say forgot and what I really mean is I never have; let's be honest, for those of you that know me I've always been in for the long haul and that hasn't happened in the better part of the past 3 years.

I'm picky sometimes, don't judge. Moving on.

So if it doesn't work out, you met someone that is rad and fun to hang out with or someone you want to delete from your life completely (which my luck would probably stalk me for months on end and/or propose to me and/or be completely dramatic and breakup with me even though we weren't dating to begin with [not that any of those things have ever happened to me....ahem....])

What's with the weather?

I don't know if anyone noticed, but its five million degrees outside.  Not four, five.  And apparently (I have just been informed) tomorrow it's going to be even hotter.  Anyway you look at it, it's still October and sweltering.  Usually September and October are our nicest months in San Diego, comfortable 75 and no humidity.

Thank you global warming.

It's 88 with no breeze on the coast and I can only imagine the damaging UV rays that are penetrating East County.  (I will have to consult with my East County friends that live on the other side of the 5).

Not even going to mention that it rained over the weekend....
