Life's goal

I want to be just like this guy:

aaa

The Most Interesting Man in the World.

I want to have awkward moments just to see what they feel like. I want to live vicariously through myself.

I love these commercials. They make me smile. I admit it, I’ll rewind and watch them again (and maybe even again). The Dos Equis Web site is pretty cool too. You can learn the skills necessary to be the MIMITW’s assistant.

These skills include, but are in no way limited to, arm wrestling Mao, Churchill and Joe Stalin; how to use a blowgun to plug holes in his luxury submarine; or how to avoid a shiv in the ribs by using the proper insult in the proper location. For instance, in Polish "Jak ma ciebie patrze to mi oczy zachodzą musztardą" means "Watching you makes my eyes go blind with mustard." You wouldn't want to throw that out just anywhere because you risk finding yourself face down in an ally.

Me? I’m staying thirsty.

Not so manic

A lot of people I know like having Fridays off. Not me. 

Given a choice I'll take a free Monday every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Especially on Sunday.

If you get a Friday off, you still have to work Monday through Thursday. But, if you're off on Monday, Friday's a whole day closer. Makes the whole week that much more tolerable. 

Of course, as I look back over the past month, because of the places I've gone and the weddings I've attended, I've only worked a full week once in the past five. How cool is that. 

Anyway, since I'm off today I think I'm going to take a little bike ride down to the Mall and maybe walk around the National Gallery. The image above is by Sol LeWitt. Don't know who he is, but I'm headed out to get some art. 

See ya.
