It's me.
I might be up late tonight. Not necessarily doing anything in particular, but no real reason to go to bed... except for the fact that I'm tired, but you know... that's nothing.
I've got the Simpsons on. I decided a while ago that I was going to go through the show one by one, and right now I'm just about done with season two. And by a while ago, I mean... months and months ago. It's been slow going, but I'm still doing it. I had watched most of these episodes years and years ago in reruns, and while I always enjoyed them, I never really realized that a large portion of the audience considered it one of the greater TV series of all time. So now I'm going through it to see if it actually achieves that greatness. It's been alright so far.
I spent a large portion of my weekend watching Ninja Warrior on the G4 channel. It's a series where people go to Japan to try this ridiculous obstacle course that only three people out of thousands have done. I don't typically have cable, but when I'm at work, and there's nothing really for me to do... it's the best thing on Saturday mornings (well, I think it was a marathon, so it's probably just a one-time thing, but still.)
I had a friend who tried out for the show... and I think actually went to Japan to appear on the show. I was watching to see if I would be able to spot him, not knowing at all whether or not he would keep appearing every season (as apparently others have), but I did not see him. I ended up Googling to see if he appeared on the show recently... which he hasn't. And it kind of weirded me out that I Googled him at all, since I usually use Google to find out cool bits of info and not to see what old friends are up to.
I completely lost contact with the dude. I think he deleted his Facebook account, which unfortunately is akin to removing yourself from society at this point in time... and I don't know if anyone else I know is still in contact with him (and even if I did, I'm probably not in close contact with any of them either). So who knows... he could be dead, for all I know. Which would be unfortunate... because, you know... death is not the best thing in the world...
It's kind of weird when I think about it. I've essentially lost contact with a lot of people over the course of the years, but most of them are still Facebook-able. But right now, I really only want to know what's going on with one particular person, and I have no way of finding out what he's up to. I'm assuming in the old days, you could search in the phone book to find his number, and then call him like that. Now it's Facebook. And Google, I suppose. Makes me wish for the old days... (that's a lie, I am terrible at talking on the phone. I don't know why I said that.)
I guess I am getting a little tired.
Going to bed is probably the best option...
Dude. That guy was RIPPED.
