Race Relations and Superheros...



The Southside Irish Parade. Could there have been any more white people? On the whole train ride down there was like me and one black person. I sort of wanted to give him a hug and tell him to "stay strong, brother," but I didn't because black people scare me...

That was a joke. I'm actually more afraid of white people. Especially ones full of green beer and Irish pride.

I ate corned beef that day, which is against my religion, but you know what?...blasphemy tastes pretty f-ing spectacular on a piece of rye with mustard. I also drank beer, which tastes pretty f-ing spectacular with some corned beef on a piece of rye with mustard.

I'm having back pains, plus my shoulder hurts and I think I have shin splints. My girlfriend keeps calling me an old man, I really hate my job and any people who actually read this thing are starting to get fed up with my non-updating... so life's great on this end... how about all of you?

At work we had Baja Fresh in celebration of St. Patrick's Day, which I'm still confused about. Plus I had to eat it all cold because I was on a call, plus the tortillas were chewy and stuck together, but I'm not the type to complain... the food was still free and free stuff always tastes better. A while back a co-worker said to me that she sees me more than she sees her own husband, but I think she has a thing for me and stays late at work just to be close to me. No, actually we just work similar hours, but the staring thing is getting a little creepy.

In all actuality, there is a guy here that really does have a tendency to stare at people, plus he loves giving out high-fives, and he loves sky-diving. I'm conviced he's training to become a superhero, but he doesn't quite have the physique for it. He's into Tae-Kwon-Do, which could explain his eerie silent calm, but he doesn't have one. He's actually a little flamboyant, not in a gay way, but in a weird arm-flapping-while-he-talks-like-a-Jewish-housewife-let's-discuss-this-later-amongst-ourselves kind of way. But, you know, he's really a nice guy.

There, you bastards, I hope that satiates your hunger for my greatness... at least for a little while.

P.S. I don't know who those dudes in the picture are but it's a white guy staring at a black guy and I thought it tied everything together nicely.

So you noticed the lack of diversity at the parade but the real question is: did you have a good time? i know i did.

Yes, I did have an amazing time at the parade even though I thought I was going to pass out from being so extremely tired from the night before. The Irish are okay in my book.
