Doppleganger watch

Christina showed me this video of some kids covering a Dave Matthews Band song... which features me on saxaphone. Check it out:



Obviously, that is not the real me, but he even has red shoes like I used to wear! Side-burns are a *little* long, but whoever he is, this kids is doing a pretty good job of replicating me. And I am freaked out!
Not that there's a clone of me. I can handle that. I am freaked out that there is a clone of me who probably sits around grooving to Dave Matthews all day long, and that, my friends, is truly frightening!

Disc Jockey

So on Saturday I ...
-wore a Lacrosse t-shirt
-got up early to run a 5k race
-ate two hearty breakfasts
-played ultimate Frisbee for about an hour
-set my line-up for Sunday's fantasy football game
-watched the riveting second half of a college football game on TV. It was USC vs. OSU ... and the Beavers won!

Then I realized, with a shock, that this is all evidence that I could be becoming a *gasp!* jock. aaaaahhh!!!! that would be like the worst thing ever. if I were a jock I would have to beat my geeky self up. Which would be unpleasant, I think. I like my geeky self!

Everyone I talk to seems to be surprised that I ran a 5k race, and then almost unbelieving when I tell them my time -- 21:08, just about 7 minutes per mile. Do I really seem to be THAT unathletic?? I am in pretty good shape, honestly! I haven't got big muscles, but I can run OK.
At the Chapman 5k this weekend I out-ran not only President Jim Doti, but also Orange Mayor Mike Murphy and Congresswomen Loretta Sanchez! Ha! I even got a medal! And a tee-shirt!

Jocks rule?????
