When I was 19 I was 6' 3" and 140 lbs. People were concerned for my health. I was in fact trying hard to gain weight.
On my 28th birthday, a friend said, "You've gained weight. You look good!"
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm comparing myself at college graduation
Fair enough -- I consider baby fat to be mostly gone before graduating college anyway. I was chubby and short for half my teens, and then managed to add 6 or so inches without appreciably increasing in weight. It was ... weird.

Did John Lennon coin the phrase, "Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans"? (He used that line In his song "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)".)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Everyone who's awake, anyhow. Sleepy people GET NO PRETTY.
Wah.
OK, I know I'm obsessed with my own friend-of-a-friend celebrity stories, but I just can't hold it in anymore: I know someone who had sex with Donovan McNabb!! (His mom is on Ellen right now, which is what makes me think of it.) (He is the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles.) (The Eagles are a football team, and the Super Bowl is Sunday.) (The Super Bowl is the national championship of football.) (American football.) (FYI.)

In other Ellen DeGeneres show news, she now has Peter Gallagher on, and the clip they showed is from next week's episode. WTF? I feel spoiled now.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Gah. I had a dream last night where I tried at great length to convince someone that really, I swear to god, I look better now than I did at baby-faced 19. They didn't believe me, and told me I'd never look that good again, not even if I lost weight, which oh by the way, they didn't think I could do, anyway.
THAT was annoying. I checked in the mirror this morning, and I look good, damn it. So mystery dream person, kiss my large yet attractive ass.

What is even happening?
I know someone who had an affair with Robert Parrish (The former Boston Celtics center). I worked with her. I used to take a lot of his calls for her.
Just trying to keep up with the Joneses Jesse

Ack, Steph. Stupid subconscious, telling you weirdo lies. It's probably really about getting your work done or something.

My subconscious is wrong, and it knows it. We had a stern talk on the way in to work, and if it doesn't start to behave, I'm going to put some really boring shit in there, like tax codes. I think that scared it enough to behave.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I saw Tom Brady in an airport once. I know somebody who knows somebody who went home with Nomar, back before he was married.
Yeah, actually, I lead a very unremarkable life.
