"No rich, white guy has ever gotten anywhere with me comparing himself to Rosa Parks"

Ever needed a good and accurate barometer to judge where you are in a relationship with someone else while at the same time maintaining a sense of disinterest and indifference but still showing a...this is nowhere. I'm going nowhere with this. I was thinking of some good "Scenes From A Hat" scenes and one of them was "If Jesus was alive today". At first I thought of short little vignettes like "You made that guy President?" or "First church of scienwha?!". But then I started granting the premise heavily and I seriously think the guy would be disappointed. He'd come back down here and just be like "Guys, what the hell? Come on. I leave you alone for a couple of centuries and...The O.C.? Reality TV? Supermodels? Porno? Anorexia, American Idol, two parties, racism, pro-life, pro-choice, gay hating, social security, Vietnam, Ashlee Simpson? Look at you. I give you a world and this is how you repay me?" And then he'd backhand us all in one fell swoop One of my oldest friends just got into a relationship (or courtship as the term is preferred) that will most likely lead to marriage. It’s just odd to finally see him in a relationship of any kind. Him and I have been sharing our experiences, unrequited and unwanted both, with the ladies for some time now and finally he’s found himself within the real deal. Only now does it seem like his life is real. I don’t know why that is. Some philosopher dude (Never get the names straight) once suggested that love was merely the realization that something in this world is real besides yourself. Jealous, much? Naw, probably not. It’s just such a change of pace to see him taking off in the plane while I’m still at the airport we’d both been waiting at together. In all fairness though he probably arrived at the gate far before I did. And yes, the iPod is one of the most beautifully practical things of modern invention. 2500 songs in my pocket. Come on! 25
