The END TIMES are upon us!
well, i never thought i would be alive for the Apocalypse but, here i am, and here we are. i was under the assumption that i could move through life smoothly and quietly relying only on my previously blogged about 8 t-shirts and single pair of jeans... unfortunatly, that seems to not actually be an appropriate presupposition, for i reciently discovered that i need a suit for my oral interviews conductucted by the fire department.
now, keep in mind that i choose my words carefully, and the use of the word 'need' was fully meditated and completely intentional, because TRUST ME, if there were any way to circumvent this, I WOULD! over the past week or so i have been trying to envisage an elaborate and labyrinthine stratagem wherein a suit would prove inessential and possibly even anti-productive... only it doesn't help that the fire chief himself told me 98% of applicants appear in freshly pressed suits... and the ones that don't... well, 'let's just say we look at them a bit differently, that's all,' he said...
great.
plus, i'm pretty sure i read something about John needing a suit to prepare for the end times...
Revelation chapter 3 i think...
...
NO! no, no, no, that's stupid. i think, actually one of the four horsemen had to buy one 'cuz he was interviewing for some job at microsoft or something...
...
the mere thought of a suit makes me sweat...

two items, jex:
first of all, you're telling me that the handsome gentleman pictured here has never owned a suit?
and secondly, speaking from experience, microsoft doesn't require well-dressed applicants.
take plenty of pics!

i don't think the thought of a suit should make you break out in a sweat...really...maybe it would be better to think of it as some sort of rite of passage! an inaguration into a new season in life. i say congrats on the accomplishments you have made thus far, celebrate by purchasing a suit! i equate it with my purchase of real true mom-ish high heels...i love them and despise them at the same time :o) yes i think it is ridiculous to actually pay money for ugly and uncomfortable 1950's-esque footwear. but in some small recess of my heart i smile because it means something has changed in my life (good or bad i don't know) and i have found a use for something i had never hoped to wear! life is weird.

This is a word to MOON--poster of previous comment--you're a genius to be able to post a pic of this young dude digitally; I squealed with delight to see our Jex looking out at the world, in all his suitliness, with that sweet young face--you made my day! Jan Forever
wow, what an outpouring of e-messages!
to moon: how do you know how to hyperlink? frick man, i don't even know how to hyperlink... your spotless brilliance always puts a smile on my face! oh yeah, and i bat lefty for you... wink.
to raquell: your positivty and kind words are both comforting and spirit-lifting. it is always a pleasure to hear you relate the silver lining...
to jan: i'm glad you got to see that pic moon left, because any other copy is being destroyed... just kidding. but it is nice to see where the roots of my geekness begins to fourish...
wow...
that was so nice it's gotta be fattening...
