Stealing Blog Games From More Smartier Peoples
From Ang:
Okies, let's play the game ...
Rules:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
"It was on this rather revealing bowl that I metEddie Gilbert, who would go on to be one of my favorite opponents, and his wife, Missy Hyatt, who at that time I thought was the most beautiful woman in the world. I quickly wiped my avatar and once dressed, proceeded to tear the house down with Troy, who by this time was wrestling as Troy Orndorff, supposedly the nephew of World Wrestling Federation superstar Paul Orndorff.
The next day, several of the UWF wrestlers were raving about the show."
I dunno if it's cool or just sad that the closest available book was Mick Foley's "Have A Nice Day! A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks." Either way, there is nothing I can do about the fact that I just posted the tale of an overweight wrestler taking a dump on my blog.
Despite that, there is one part of the book that describes me almost exactly:
"Being boring, or, more accurately, having nothing to say, had been a longtime fear of mine- a compulsion almost, which unfortunately led to avoiding conversation with strangers whenever possible. I even feared one-on-one conversation with all but my closest friends. With them, I could be myself- with everyone else, in a one-on-one situation, I was always petrified. As a result, I remember wearing headphones and keeping my head down when I walked back from classes at Cortland, just hoping I wouldn't run into someone I knew only moderately well."
Replace Cortland with Utica College, and that's Evil Brian.
Oh, and yes, initially I did start digging through my closet's shelves for a non-embarassing book.
