I’m not worth a $22 bottle of wine, but I’m worth half a $80 bottle of wine. This doesn’t quite make sense, but I suppose the situations were different. The expensive wine was when I was out with my HLP (heterosexual life partner) Il for his birthday dinner, and the $22 bottle of wine was what I drank while I was watching the TV shows I had stored up for this week. I have a couple of winner movies from Greencine<\/a> this week, Alphaville<\/b> and City of God<\/b> but I know I have to keep up with the TV shows or I’ll have nothing to talk about when I meet normal people.<\/p>\n

\nI have to relate this memory I have of you in high school because I keep thinking about it and laughing!
\nSenior year in chemistry class, (the teacher) was reading off a list of job prospects and you piped up and said “I wonder what the prospect of being a bum is?” He got really mad and said “Fine Todd if that’s what you want to do is be a bum then go ahead!!” He stopped reading off the list of prospects after that (thank God!). I’m not sure why that sticks so vividly in my mind, but I’m sure entertained by that thought!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really, every year I’m a little less of an ass. So those of you who know me now, you have no idea how much worse it could be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
