They'll Ask For My Help....And I'll Look At Them And Say "Fro"
Since it's been awhile since I've been here and I have no one specific item to share at present, I will take this opportunity to just expunge on a few thoughts before the weekend.
Tomorrow is my 33rd birthday. Seriously (and I say this every year), it really doesn't feel like it. Aside from the normal social expectancies that most people assume will occur in their lives by this age (ie; marriage, kids, house, inability to smile), I have avoided the personal interest traps that many willingly dive into by this age. Most people by this age it seems are all too willing to give up what they were once so passionate about in order to blend into the herd more easily. Why bother attempting to stand out when you can buy a bag filled with Affliction t-shirts and learn to like Bon Jovi and Dancing With The Stars? Pass. I've long since embraced my personal interests and nerd-isms with no slowing down. Though it may not net me that kind of life others desire until they actually acquire it, I still feel I'll get more out of watching Afro Samurai and Frisky Dingo. All I seem to share with married people in my age group at this point is the lack of intimacy (at present), but not of my own volition, I assure you.
As a birthday present to self, I went to the Chicago Theatre to see Speaker Series 2009 with Bill Maher and Ann Coulter. Being that this is Chicago, the crowd heavily leaned left but there were Ann Coulter fans to be found. Overall, it was an excellent experience and, for me, a chance to see Bill Maher live as I am a fan. At one point, Ann Coulter took it upon herself to refer to the entire crowd as "a room full of idiots". Prior to this, she made a point to state how she does not like to judge people for their personal lives and decisions. Interesting how this woman thinks one thing, does the other and deludes herself into justification in her own head. In a way, I'm sort of jealous that she can be so delusional and live in her own head the way she does.
As for this weekend, I have some plans in the works of sorts. Actually, it's back down to the theatre district to see "A Bronx Tale" at the Cadillac Palace. It's kind of weird to me that I feel like I'm becoming somewhat of a theater fan, but I do like the change of pace from movies and the like.
