Like A Man Who Has No Conscience...

Outerspace - Third Rock

For some unknown reason, this video is a minute longer than the song is, so there's just a minute of silence at the end. Yeah, I don't know.


So I had an odd encounter yesterday. One of my friends, a hipster (dear God...), said to me, "I was a hipster before hipsters were cool." "Huh," I said. You see, this is all I could think of to say, because I was unaware hipsters were cool.

Personally, being a hipster would be my worst nightmare. Don't get me wrong, I like indie music, and I like wearing awkward clothing, but I'm far from a hipster. You see, I also listen to non-indie music, and my awkward clothing is homemade. Also, my favorite movie is Rocky, not Amélie (though I do love that movie), and I don't think I'm intrinsically a better, cooler person than you.


OH. Also yesterday. I started working as an athletic trainer for the women's gymnastics team. It was such a change from the football team. It was crazy. For example, instead of over a hundred athletes, there were a dozen. But the biggest change was a total change in mentality. At gymnastics, for example, I would do treatment and rehab and whatnot when the girls came in, but when there was nothing to do, I didn't do anything.

I felt so weird doing it. As I was standing around looking for things to do, the head trainer says to me, "you know, you can sit down. There's no work to do." I confusedly sat down. You see, if I tried such a stunt in the football training room, I'd be viciously berated, and then sent home. Because that's how they roll at football.

So this was a pleasant change.


Also, I had my first day of classes yesterday, and my English prof might be the coolest person I've ever met. As much as I'm not good at english, I can deal with a teacher who prances around the class and giggles. And I'm quite certain that she described herself as feeling like different colors ("I was feeling purple yesterday"). I like her.
