Life as Jacob

Survey of instant-messagers finds any two people just 6.6 degrees apart

Sometimes the best thing for a bad day is food. Dusty and I headed over the river to Rock’s Italian Grill for a little emotional soul food.

After a nice belated birthday dinner, I headed over to the homemade ice cream and pie kitchen. They have some great stuff.

I must give props to Jerry and Stacy for indulging me in on a food safari.

Tonight we went to a restaurant on Bardstown road called Ramsi’s on the World. It’s a nifty little place with a good atmosphere of vintage artwork and strange collections.  They have a patio for those who dare brave the environment of Louisville and two indoor seating areas with an eclectic assortment of chairs and tables.

The menu is about as far away from cheeseburgers and fries as you can get.  I don’t get to eat there very often so a birthday dinner sounded good when it left my lips.  Then, as my voice electronically traveled the 30 miles to my gift givers, I heard a collective sigh.  This is generally a, “Shit, where’s Jacob dragging us now?”

Stacy and Jerry arived just a few minutes after I was seated.  I had already ordered some Foccacia which the waitress sat down on the table with our drinks.  At this point my goal should have been to take out my iPhone and snap a picture of the looks in their faces.  One would have thought the bread, covered in diverse cheeses and spice, was a chopped up platypus on a plate.

The menu, although extensive, was to hold no prize for my company.  Although they had both seen the online version, each gawked at what creations were printed on it’s laminated sheets.  Desperately searching for something close to the edges of a box, Stacy ordered chips and salsa while Jerry went for something similar to a cheeseburger.

As we waited for the main course to escape from the kitchen, we amused ourselves with some fanticiful backstories to for the people around us.  The couple to my 7 o’clock caused Stacy some problems.  We both discussed the possibilities of the older man being gay and eating with his son or a younger man having a gay sugar daddy.  Both possibilities were fun.  Stacy kept saying the younger man was straight and I could see he was gay.  Stacy argued with me on this point, but could give evidence to the contrary.

When the food was placed on the table by our lesbian watiress with a Zorro haircut, I was the only one who had eager tastebuds.  Stacy took a bite of salsa and snarled her lip at it’s temprature.  Jerry disected the bun before him to get to the beef patty in it’s doughy depts.  My eggplant parmesan was hot and delicious.

You can’t blame me for liking what I like.  My expirence at Ramsi’s was good and I will likely return.  Stacy and Jerry on the otherhand will be avoiding this quiant spot in our fair city like the plague.  I was good of them to brave this new world of cusine for me on my birthday, which is why they are both good friends.

At 1:33 in the morning, getting up at 6:30 seems like a relatively simple process. At 6:30, that will change substancially.

I found this while browsing the Internet and had a good laugh. If you think this is funny, check out the other three videos.

Girlfriend you made my day today.  I can’t say your name but you know who you are.  My little fly on the wall.

There is a strange Man Hair phenomenon going on today at my workplace.  I’m the weird one here because I notice these types of things, but still, it’s happening.

One guy who usually has a goatee type of thing has decided to do a mustache.  It doesn’t look bad, just different.  I don’t think I like mustaches in general.  I’ve known too many people who let that little caterpillar on the lip turn into a monster.  Then, hair seems to constantly be in their mouth with little bits and pieces of food on it.  Then again, if you don’t let the hair get long enough, it looks like you just forgot to shave your lip.

Another guy who usually goes clean shaven, has decided to grow a goatee.  He’s returning from vacation and has a bit of a tan which is throwing off the facial hair.  Right now it just looks like a darker tan line around his mouth.

I myself, pretty much stay the course on facial hair.  I have a mole on my upper lip which looks odd when I shave.  Then, since I’ve had this goatee thing so long, my face seems all tingly if there’s nothing there.

Today I feel like an old man.  This weekend I shot a wedding and it required me to be on my feet for over 6 hours.  Generally this would be fine, accept I still have stitches in my knee.  About two hours in my knee was swollen and pulsing.  Trust me when I say, it sucked.

I guess because I’ve been walking around on a gimp leg for the last week and laying around on the couch, I’ve thrown my back out of alignment.  I swear to you I can’t scratch my own butt without a sharp pain going across lumbar.  Then when I get out of the car, I have to move my leg real slow as to not have a shooting pain in my kneecap.  Once I place it on the ground, I have to do this balancing act so I don’t put too much strain on the ligaments.  Then I have to brace myself so I don’t fall over because my back goes nuts.  JEEZE!

I’m SOOOOO not used to this at all.  I’m 26 year’s old for God’s sake.  I should be doing marathons and mountain biking and stuff.  I even had trouble folding my clothes last night because I had to reach down and into the dryer.

I know there’re people out there who live with back pain and I feel sorry for them.  I’m sure my issues will go away once I can get back in the gym and start working those muscles out.
