hi...are you 19 or 27? thanks


so i cruised by U of M pickup tonight and saw 55 of missoula's finest ultimate players displaying their athletic prowess. i picked up with a team called the TH seagulls. now that's original. the standard uniform consisted of homemade capris, awkward dreadlocks, bare feet and tie dye, or a conglomeration of all of the above. luckily nobody was hurt. its always fun hanging out in a college scene and realizing that some of the girls recently turned 18 and others are 26 year old grad students. its amazing how blurred the line is becoming. back me up jcd.

and then there is the job hunt...
5, 10, 19, 50? how many blasted garbage restaurants, gear shops, grocery stores, bike shops, and sandwich and pizza joints do i have to apply to before someone throws some money at me.

right now i'm at 19 and recently heard another college educated girl reached 37 before she landed a lucrative job at....johnny carino's. i can just imagine it.

"hi, im ethan and i'll be your server today! (insert fake smile and gelled hair) Can I get you started with some drinks? Great! I could use a drink too! Im gonna run back into the utility closet and shotgun a 8% tilt and I'll be right back ok? Great, thanks!

also, i've come to the sad realization that 3 out of my 4 roommates are jamokes. undoubtedly. im going to do some careful observation throughout the next week and then i'll provide case by case profiles. hopefully with pics. Lord help us all.

ps. lomen, did you forget you have a blog? with all of my unemployed time floating around i need some new reading material. get some!
