NOT!

Is this too much blogging, or what? Or what you say? I agree.

Well it was funny because after yesterday’s blog about how good Andy and I have gotten along, I finally got mad at him! We were playing tennis and he hit a ground stroke that looked like it was going in but it was going to be close so I just let it bounce to see and it actually landed about .5-1 inch out. I had really thought that it was going in (so why didn’t I hit it?) so my hand made the “In” symbol (a flat palm facing the ground) but my eyes saw a ball that was out and I said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make the in symbol, the ball was actually out” but I didn’t say it loud enough and Andy didn’t really hear me. So when he realized I called it out it made him mad (which I can see why he might be) and he asked Scholes, who was sitting on the ground by the net, what he thought and scholes said he thought it was in…. so Andy kind of nodded like “yeah I knew it was…”, and that is what made me mad. I don’t call stuff unless I’m sure about it and while it wasn’t out by much, I was about 2 feet away and I could clearly see that there was green between the ball and the back line… I guess I was just mad that Andy decided to question my call with scholes who 1) was in a bad position to be able to clearly see if it was in or out 2) is a very inexperienced tennis player and calling him a player might even be a stretch (nothing personal, Scholes… you know I cant play basketball or football worth a flip… who am I kidding- I know you don’t read this- AND I’m on your “list of cool people list” as being, in your opinion, one of the only two people you know in the world who isn’t cool…oh well). So yeah… I was mad about that, and it actually played into Andy’s hand because everyone knows that playing tennis angry is tennis suicide so to speak. I mean... I still won 6-1, but those last 3 games I had to try a lot harder to earn the points. Of course we are fine, and we talked about it before we played Risk last night and obviously that isn’t a really big problem or anything, I just thought it was funny because it happened about an hour after I wrote the blog yesterday saying how well we got along… and this hasn’t changed my opinion of that, just thought it was funny. NOW its time for lunch and then looking at dead people… did I tell you I do that? In anatomy lap you look at dead people. Nothing really puts your fragile humanity in check like seeing a dead human body strewn across a cold metal table… we (people) are really pretty bland and gross looking on the inside… It really makes me want to pause before I say that it’s really what’s on the INSIDE that matters the most to me, because I could really just go without seeing any more insides for awhile. The fun part is this is directly after I eat lunch, so the whole combination of chemicals mixing with recently eaten food and the sight of dead people that just makes me look forward to my Wednesday and Friday afternoons so much… NOT! (I really think “NOT!” needs to make a comeback… its kind of like the new fall color… but its an expression… yeah you just wait and see).

Peace, Love, and Spleens- Scott
