When I look in the mirror, I see a Douchebag
Tue, March 13, 2007 - 12:27 PMIt goes like this: There is a fancy english party...18th century. The Butler, Garrett Morris, announces the guests. "Earl of Sandwich" "Lord Salsbury" "Lord Worcestershire" and finally "Lord and Lady Douchebag" who get greeted with a "Well, well, well.. I was just asking Lord Sandwich, "Where the devil are those Douchebags?"
This is kind of hard to explain, but, these days, every party Don and I go to....Every club we visit. We walk in the door and feel like this old couple making small talk...or occationally big talk...but never quite making the deeper connections. "What have you been working on, Lady Remmington?" "I must compliment you on the meat, Lord Salsbury" I dunno...I'm just always reminded of this skit and I can't seem to snap out of it. Sometimes when looking into the eyes of someone I respect and want to feel a connection with, It will hit me....I can tell that they're lookin at a Douchebag and there's nothing I can do about it.. And that's a shame, because I like these folks A LOT! I just have no idea how to share the moment like I used to. I need a change.

Yes, I love that skit....aaahh Garrett Morris...and now he's on Mar--in. Sigh. I hate that feeling for ya though. Maybe if you look deeper into them you'll get there. Dunno. Ecstasy has been shown to clinically boost those types of connections, but it's largely one-sided, only temporary, and so last decade! (not to be too flippant - sorry - good luck)

I think most of us, unless we are really are that cool, unselfconscious, or else just a total douchebag ;) feel a little out of sorts every now and then in public.
So you guys haven't gotten out as much lately...it happens. Whenever either of you is brought up in public (and it happens every now and again!) it's always with awe and respect. |

club. party. deeper connection?
theres so many people and so little time.
theres people who are your friends and people you will se around. sometimes it is a difficult distinction to make. focus on the people who you feel there might be a deeper connection with and see them outside of the party or the club. change is good. |
