man, i love milkshakes. they're so damn good. haha, good times. one of many fun things about today, including but not limited to:

> writing another cool poem for my poetry exercise (about the exhumation of civil war remains in order to plant crops upon a field)
> figuring out how to change the colors of the scrollbar on my website (yes, i'm a nerd)
> surviving another shakespeare class
> running into john phelps (you might have seen him last year w/ blue hair) = punk john that goes to awakening church
> meeting this cute girl in my shakespeare class. and by cute, i mean smokin.
>sitting through a three-hour geology lab
>eating sushi for dinner
>men's BS! and talking about control freaks
>actually studying for my history class (yay for staying on top of things this semester)
>working out my liturgy for tomorrow (still has a little more to go)
>completely kicking ass in this pinguin game



and otherwise having a pretty damn good day. however, i have lost my cell phone, and i'm gonna need a good excuse for my parents. therefore, i have decided to open up a contest for the best, most hilarious, off-the-wall excuse for how my cell phone got lost/stolen/telekinetically removed from my pocket/whatever. the less plausible, the better. it'll give my dad something to laugh about. so what are you waiting for? the winner gets a prize!

i hope you have nightmares. :)

The advent of genius: The Scarlet 'B'

I have had in my mind this idea. A brilliant idea. A useful idea. A flamboyant idea. ...Ok, so maybe not the last one... It is this: Girls with boyfriends should wear some kind of sign to indicate to males that they are currently "off the market." This way, guys such as myself will know not to waste our time talking to them. Haha, well, or at least know in what context to speak to said girls. Seriously, I'm sure all of you have talked to some really cool girls(or I guess guys, if you're like that...why, I have no idea.) and been like "wow, maybe I'd like to get to know this person more" only to have the B-word come up out of nowhere. Now basketball is cool and everything, but then they allude to the boyfriend (dun dun DUN!!!). And you know how it goes:

Marcus: (Man, this girl is cool. I think I could talk about anything...) ...So, uh, how about that war in Iraq? ...(*mental slap* STUPID! You should seriously major in Shutting Up...)

Random Cool Girl: Oh dude, that's so crazy, my boyfriend's in the army, he benches like 350, that's almost 3 of you... But I hope he stays near me so he can hold me in those big, strong, stupid arms and never let...*blah blah lame boyfriend talk*...

It's inevitable. However, if girls simply wore like a scarlet B (or teal, or neon, really whatever) somewhere on their person, I could cut out the middle man and just move on to other things. So, with the new method:

Off-Market Girl: Hey Marcus, what's up? Do you want to maybe get together and study later?

Me: *Noticing the Mark of The Attached* Hi Off-Market Girl! I'm allergic to human hair!

Girl: Oh...now that I think about it, I can't study later...my favorite show is on tonight...and uh, is on everyday for the rest of the week...and uh, the rest of my life pretty much. Byeeee!

Da' Man: FLAWLESS VICTORY!!

So you see how much inconvenience is saved by the Scarlet B? It's funny when you think about it. THINK ABOUT IT! Haha, I mean, girlfriends have no way to deter unsuspecting guys...unless they actually just said right up front that the position for boytoy has already been filled by another fellow. Perhaps it'd be even better if the dude was actually around his girlfriend! Honestly, where are these guys? I highly doubt it's "Guys' Night Out" everyday... It is interesting when you think about how women who are engaged have an obvious defense. The engagement ring is nature's way of warding off ignorant prey from a potential emotional predator. The mental process for guys (or at least for me) is:

Woman: *BLANTANT RING FLASH!!!*
Some Guy: Wow!! (Oh my, oh my, what do I do, what do I do? This wasn't in basic training...just back away...nice...and slow...nice and...) RUNAWAY!!!!

As you can see, ladies, it's time to move up the evolutionary ladder and bust out the Scarlet 'B', or time to be less attractive. Your choice, choose wisely love. Choose wisely.
