I just finished reading The Favorite Game by Leonard Cohen. It was a pretty good book but honestly I really prefer his music. There really wasn't a lot of story, but I like his use of words for the most part. Maybe I am missing something in there, but I don't know. Next I guess I am going to read Empire of the Sun by JG Ballard, so I hope that's good.
It seems these weekends go a little too fast....which is funny because I am pretty much bored through most of my off time, but still it is maybe 2/3 over now and still it seems as if there should be a lot more time before I go back again. I need to be more proactive and find something to do, otherwise life is pretty much a waste it would seem.
Does anyone know the title of the Dinosaur Jr song that was a hit back in the early ninties? There was like a golf ball rolling around in the video. I was talking about this song with another guy at work, but I can't seem to remember what it is. If someone knows it would help.
My brother is getting married next week. I won't be there though, because it is in Hawaii....I haven't seen him since early 2001 when we were both still in school and on xmas break. I also haven't met this girl he is marrying, and I don't know when/if I ever will....They are going to be living in or near Pittsburgh. It's funny....he had been basically a bachelor with no serious girlfriends I know of for maybe 8-10 years then he went on eharmony.com and met this girl and is getting married to her.
After he told me about that site (a long time ago) I went on there because he made it sound good, but they rejected me (the site that is, not the women, it didn't even get to that point) It's a pretty lousy feeling, like....."hey, you are not good enough to talk to women and you are doomed to be alone! HAHAHAHAHA!"....or something like that.
So anyway, I wish my brother luck and such. and I was thinking how I was reading this thing on this site about how this guy had a crush on this girl and didn't want to ask her out and was sick and tired of cultural norms that guys have to make the first move almost always in that regard.....I even gave him advice to ask her out or forget about it which is advice that I doubt I would follow in the same circumstances (well technically I am sort of in those cirucumstances sort of) and I haven't followed my own advice so I am a hypocrite, but so is everyone and maybe someday I will be able to do it, but I sort of have been looking for the right time and not seeing it materialize so maybe it never will and I will maybe have to just pick "a time" and anyway now I am rambling so I should go and do something. I came on here to write like two sentences and look what happened! AAAAAAGGGHHHHH! bye

I get that all the time, the 'you look like someone I know'.
