Why Bother?
Brian has requested I post something new. I wonder why I should bother. Pleonast is dead. I check it maybe twice a week, and there are rarely ever any new posts. I assume that most people have jumped to Facebook, and that's is understandable. Why keep posting here, when you are primarily writing to yourself? Looking back at my previous entries, it's striking how the same 4-5 people have made all of the comments. Unfortunately for this site, they may be the last 4 or 5 people here. R.I.P. Pleonast.
Anyways, on to my life. I'm going to my cousin's wedding this weekend, which should be a drag. Weddings are like funerals, in that they are really only for the people who are front and center, only the people who are front and center really can't enjoy themselves due to their circumstances (taking pictures, having to talk to everyone, or in the case of a funeral, death). Those who are in attendance just get to dress up so they can sit in an auditorium, church building, or park, listen to the same ceremony they've heard 1000 times before, and then eat mediocre buffet food and listen to a 23 year old DJ play the Chicken Dance and the Cha-Cha Slide over and over. As you can tell, I'm thrilled about having to buy my cousin a toaster, drive clear across the state, experience all that I've listed above, and then drive all the way home the same day. Best wishes to the bride and groom.
I'm going to the dentist tomorrow. Clean teeth are always nice. Does anyone have this issue, though? My hygienist (sp?) is really nice and extremely chatty, which is great, but she'll ask me a question or try to carry on a conversation with me while her hands are in my mouth. How am I supposed to respond when your fingers are inside my head and I'm just focused on not choking on my own spit? I appreciate her warmness, and I think she's probably just trying to be friendly and maybe trying to put me at ease, I just hope she doesn't expect more of a response than a grunt or an "uhhhhnnnn".
On the 24th of this month I am attempting to organize a football game for whoever would like to play. I've created an "event" on Facebook (there's that Facebook again) and invited everyone from ECOC and elsewhere, as well as some friends and relatives I thought might like to attend, but if you didn't get that invite and would like to come, please feel free. As the saying goes, "The more the merrier". Or even better yet, "the more, the less I have to run". We plan on playing at Ferris Park off of New Ballwin Rd at 9 am on 10/24.
To round out October, there is going to be a big church get-together/chili dinner on the 30th, which I'm looking forward to. Apparently, there will also be a talent show to accompany this get-together, and unfortunately I have no talent. I guess I'll just have to make fun of those who do participate. It should be a good time. Especially since I like chili and making fun of people.
That's all.
