eyes in the back of your head

When does looking both ways before crossing the street not help?
-The time you get rear-ended.


I'm not sure what I'm about to write, but it probably won't end well.

This won't be anything funny. In fact, it might not make any sense at all. But I write often enough to entertain, and rarely do so anymore to put all the pieces next to each other for a good looking over.

My life:

I have been blessed with abilities and plain luck for which no man should ever reasonably ask.

But I have no family.
Certainly not like you would think.



Whatever family seemed was a myth enrolled by misery, alcoholism, violence, terror, vertical jealousy, and hesitation. Either you know some of this or you don't. Doesn't matter.

My brother and I got through it together.

More ability/luck: I found Christine. If you know her well, she is one of your favorite friends. Smart, sweet, stronger than you'd ever first gather. I want to spend the rest of our lives learning from each other.

These are the two people that I'm supposed to grow old with.

I want them both. Family.

But I have no family. Certainly not like you would think.
I have love, unconditional.

But mainly, I have me. You can't stop me.

Victoria's Secret is a sense of awkwardness

At VS downtown during their clearance event. Was there with the woman. Shoulder-to-shoulder contact with strange women. Underwear flying everywhere.

Jerm: I think I'm gonna go to the men's section
Miller (quizzically): Uh, I don't think they have a men's section
Jerm: Turn around

6 or 7 dudes sitting quietly on a ledge by the storefront window, bags in hands, heads held low.

Can't they put in a men's fun section like stores used to do for kids? Here's an XBox. Here's a magazine of all the 2007 car models. And while we're at it, here's a catalog of all the 2007 VS models....seems like good business to me.

Results of the bet

Skins threw a halfback option.

That's okay, I can make even blue and khaki look good.

Men and Football

It's awfully late and since a lot is going down tomorrow, I'll try to chronicle these events in brief. Men and football is something that at times I feel I could write 50 pages about, and at other times feel entirely speechless. Men and football just are, and it's beautiful if you get it. And part of the fun is gambling on the games, the players, the weather, whatever; a morally indefensible act....*yawn*.....and guys just love it. Also well documented in male culture are the acts of domination, typically done at pointless times over meaningless events. Dominance is usually in the form beatdowns, submission, or humiliation.

Harish and I know this last one well. We do football, we gamble, we banter. We hunt, gather, do whatever is necessary to be free on Sundays to watch the fates of our ill-conceived bets. And at times we disagree, leading to male clashing and that dominance thing. If you don't like football, or don't care, I'm not sure why you've read this gibberish this far. Thanks for coming by. You are dismissed. If you're like Ryan, Neil, Marty, Justin, Jimmy and all other football- and shame-loving guys, you'll appreciate this.

I made the off-handed comment that I'm calling a crazy Joe Gibbs play this week. Either a flea flicker or a double reverse (probably to james thrash). This in all likelihood isn't going down. But since it won't, I agreed to let Harish get equal odds that the skins won't run the HB option. This should be fun.

The rewards?

I have agreed to wear a New York Giants shirt if he wins, at my expense. He has agreed to wear a Washington Redskins shirt if I win.

The chances are slim, but this game is getting better and better as it draws near!

Jeremy if 'skins run HB option











Harish if 'skins run flea flicker or double reverse






The winner tells the loser when he will be wearing this apparel.


You can be damn sure the winner will be present for its grand showing.


And the best part is that to strangers we both look like the types that would wear this unknowingly!


Good times.

GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(go double reverse!)
