An Ode to The Gube (for Lindsey)

Alright, for those of you who watch crime shows on t.v. like C.S.I and Law and Order etc you've been missing out on truly an amazing show: Criminal Minds.
Its basically about a team of people who profile criminals to catch them and ivolves psychology, intense action and overal awesomeness.  

Anyways continuing from this, not only does the show have characters that are smart, strong and pretty (darn) cool, they have one thing that other shows do not.... The Gube.

Lindsey and I, who pretty much watch the show every week have come to love the nerd on the show; Spencer Reid.   Because I have too much pride and would like to pretend I don't have a lot of free time of my hands I won't go too much into depth.  Spencer Reid is a genious with an iq of 187 (according to Lindsey), been kidnapped quite a few times, drugged with dilaudid, set on fire, held at gun point, infected with anthrax, wears mismatched socks and is just overally awesome.

How you know who your friends really are

As for anymore who's been in writing for the past day or so, you've most likely noticed my face,
 or rather what's been on my face since friday.
No, I didn't get into a fight,
No, I am not on the rugby team,
And NO, I have absolutely no idea how I ended up with a black eye from getting my wisdom teeth removed.


Yet this sparked a debate among my friends of how I would actually react in a fight, which by the end caused me a great deal of pain from my attempts at laughing.


Most people were too timid to even ask me in person, (yet by the end of the day I had gotten a ton of texts asking) which I have to admit was hilarious.  People were judging me wayyyyyy more than being concerned.


Anyways, most of those who knew me decently, believed I was in rugby, while those who knew me much better believed I had gotten into a fight, and lost.  (I have to say, I was a little insulted.)  They said that I was just too timid and cautious to ever even get into any sort of a fight, and couldn't see me winning one at all.


Yet those who knew me very well, (who I didn't tell, or who I asked about it later) fell over laughing at this, and told me that it didn't matter what condition I was in, who the hell I was fighting, or if I was fighting on Mars; I might lose, but only at the cost of myself (and hopefully the other person) lying in the hospital incapacitated.
Or as Lindsey put it "you'd march straight up to them beaten and bruised, and demand a re-fight".


That defiantly made me laugh and wonder about what people thought of my character, if I seem quiet and shy or loud and obnoxious.   I know I'd have too much pride to go anywhere if I got beaten up, and I'd like to think I'd land in a hit or two.

Priceless.

Dictionaries

Getting there,
after those once wicked laughs 
became remembered by
pleasantly infectious sounds,
much like the tingle of aluminum bells
to the roar of a lion.

Familiarity makes me smile,
yet makes the corners of my mouth twitch
with an illusion of annoyance,
for I fear I’ve picked up
too many bad habits of my friends;
such as flailing my hands too much,
at some point during every minute,
of every day.

Words have become infallible,
often making me ponder what
the english dictionary will look like in ten years,
Will the words “dude” and “Lmfao”
be included?
Will the word “sick” change it’s literal meaning?

Those wicked laughs,
now make me laugh happily,
as I get asked the strangest questions
about reality t.v. and tanning,  

Yet a question that I oddly get asked often,
that really shows how far humanity has come;

"Why haven’t you gone on Facebook since November?"
