philadelphia versus houston

Month 40 here in Philadelphia is drawing closer. The latest nuance that I just picked up on has to do with shoes. For some reason in Texas we call Foot Locker purchased shoes ''Tennis Shoes'' or ''Tenny Shoes'' or some variation thereof. At least that's what I've been calling them all this time. Somebody let me know if I've been seriously confused. Here in Philly, however, everyone I talked to was clueless about what I was talking about when I talked about my new tennis shoes. It just didn't occur to me that I don't play tennis, I don't plan to play tennis, and what makes a cross-training shoe a tennis shoe, anyway? ''Those look like wrestling shoes'' was the most common critique. What the hell does that mean? Wrestling? Like Wrestlemania wrestling? I've never paid attention to the shoes those guys wear. All of that throwing each other around and fake falling on your head stuff has distracted me from the finer points of what kind of footwear they were using. I'll try to pay closer attention the next time I'm watching Hulkamania. For the time being, I'm just calling them My New Shoes. Pfft.
I think I might be coming down with something and I somehow only have one sick day left for the rest of the year. The other sick days were used up when I dislocated my left pinky, went on doctor visits for aforementioned pinky, stabbed my right index finger with a palm tree twill, and got sick on some rancid chicken I bought from a WaWa. Toss in a couple of sore throat and fever days and I'm down to the one sick day I have left. I was wondering what would happen if I became so contagious that I got everyone else sick to the point where they'd have to just call off work altogether because nobody could show up. That'd be cool. Well, sorta. Okay. Maybe not.
I'm flying back to H-Town on the evening of 10/1 and returning to PA again on 10/4. Number's Night Club, anyone?

And now for the latest on the Spider-Man body transformation. The front shot is pretty good, but the profile shot says it all. Attentive followers will note that I'm trying to find just the right angle to take this photo so the before and after don't necessarily match. It's all a matter of perspective. Har har. My apartment sucks for taking photos -- trust me on this. I need the remote clicky thing. As usual, if seeing a grown man in his boxer briefs is offensive, please cover your eyes.

I really need to update my site. Not just my journal, but my look. It's so... 2003. Expect change as soon as I get through delivering a carpet tonight. Long story. I saved it from certain destruction. I'm sure I'll get Good Guy Points from the Spirit of Lost Carpets for doing this. [Sigh].60 pounds
2004.09.14 3.10
So... I've been hitting the gym several times a week. Twice a week I work-out with a trainer. Why am I doing this? It started back in April. I was 147 pounds and super skinny. I'm talking holocaust skinny. Emo boy skinny. It wasn't working for me. It's now been five months and I've put on 17 pounds of lean muscle. This has been a good thing with very few exceptions: I was at the movies recently and ordered the giant big-ass diet Coke with no ice. When they handed me the cup I thought for sure it was empty. Upon closer examination, however, I realized it was completely full. I just couldn't feel the weight of something that light anymore. I've been handling 60 pound weights in each hand recently and realized that my dog *also* weighs 60 pounds. So, technically I should be able to hold him up in the air with one hand. He's not willing to let me try that, though. Too much squirming and attempting to escape my grip.l0s3r5 i wan+ +0 hAx0r **updated**

Dude,
You are a real dick. Why not try to make money on molding the bat mobile and
selling it? You could make seriuos money and would make people really happy not
to mention you could get some friends. I'm guessing you don't have many. You
are really a loser to and need 2 stop with the sucky movies. Sorry but They are
really bad. I think it's hard to believe you got second place. Was the
first movie a film of someone taking a dump on a neibhors lawn. I'd definately
vote for them. You should make anyone who buys the mold give you and whoever
helped you full credit.

Now, let's dissect this guy's email. He's obviously read my Batmobile FAQ. Perhaps the 50K price is too high for him so he felt obligated to write me a persuasive letter. Perhaps he thought he could talk me into letting people make molds off the car and in exchange I'd get ''credit.'' I don't want recognition, though, so the exchange isn't appealing to me. Now... let's go over some of the things that went wrong in his ''persuasive'' (and I use the term loosely) letter. Ahem... I know it isn't much to ask for, but nobody likes it when they have to decipher what the heck an email says. Let's go over all errors, not just spelling.
- ''bat mobile'' -- this is one word: batmobile
- ''ur'' -- I'll let this one slide in lieu of ''you're'' cuz you're probably l33t
- There's a period at the end of your subject -- don't do that.
- ''try to make money on molding'' -- how about ''by molding''
- ''seriuos'' -- Nuh, uh! Are you serious?
- ''...you could get some friends'' -- NO WAY! I could get some friends? Wow! Thanks for the tip!
- ''I'm guessing you don't have many'' -- I thought I had one somewhere... in the basement.
- ''You are really a loser to'' -- to? too? two? tutu?
- ''Sorry but They are really bad'' -- you find the CAPS key and go crazy, huh? Look at you!
- ''Was the first movie...'' -- I like how you don't end a question with a question mark. Neat.
- ''neibhors'' -- did you mean Neighbors?
- definately -- common mistake -- it's definitely misspelled, however...
