Jason says "read this blog!"
Just when I'm about to sign the DNR papers for this blog something comes along and inspires me to write another post. One of these days Jason Segel will come to his senses and beg me to befriend him. I just hope he isn't waiting to see the 365th reason. It may take years.



365 Reasons Why...An Explanation

Well, hello there (said in a very sexy voice). You're looking quite lovely today. Welcome to my blog. Feel free to take off your shoes and get comfortable, maybe leave a comment or two. This started out as kind of a funny thing to do after I blew a phone conversation with Jason, but I've found I really enjoy writing every day and researching new and interesting things about my future BFF. In January I met Jason at a comedy club and the few words we shared only reinforced my belief that he and I would get along famously. As a dear friend of mine recently said, "why wouldn't he want to be friends with you - you're awesome!" Perhaps the 365 reasons in this blog may just convince Jason of what I already know to be true: separately, our awesomeness is great; combined, it may be enough to take over the world.

Reason 89

I want my two dollars (and other quotes that I can seamlessly work into any conversation)! Once upon a time an incredible, underappreciated movie about a high school loner who skis the deadly K-12 to impress his obnoxious girlfriend was released for consumption by the American people. The response by said people was less than stellar. Thankfully, I, along with many other hip children of the 80's, discovered the brilliance that is Better Off Dead and have been weaving strange gems of dialogue into our social discourse ever since. It becomes apparent very quickly who the cool folks in a crowd are when you throw out "I think I froze the left half of my brain" or "I'm really sorry your mom blew up" and get immediate recognition, or even better, a different line in response. The characters are bizarre and lovable, the acting is inspired, the screenplay is comic gold, and the music is a true reflection of the 1980's sound. I mean, it was directed by a man named Savage, for Pete's sake. Does it get any cooler than that?! Be honest, Jason. Would you actually want to be friends with someone who wasn't a fan of Better Off Dead? I sure wouldn't. I say next time I'm in L.A. we get together for a viewing. I'll make French bread, French fries, French dressing...and to drink - Peru. I even promise to keep my testacles off you. How can you resist an offer like that?
