29 on 21, and i'm spent
My AOL Instant Messenger is set to automatically log on from a computer in either Invercargill or Te Anau. I think Te Anau. In any case, one of the people who found himself or herself logged on to my account, with my friends showing up, decided to add one of their friends - aain222 - to my buddy list.
Tonight, January 19th, 2005, aain222 is captivating, is a mystery to me. I am a little drunk, maybe. In any case, let us explore him.
We know, from his profile, a number of things about him. Were we profiling a serial killer using the evidence presented here, we could probably catch him, and drifters everywhere could breathe a sigh of relief. His name is Adam. He is either a marine, or likes using "semper fi." It is possible he is referencing Rushmore, but I find this unlikely, as I checked, and neither Stuart Robinson or Joel Steinhaus has the first name "Adam." Nor do they go to Williams College, a college I almost applied to before I realized it wasn't on the common app. I think it is on the common app now. There but for the grace of the slow roll-out of the common application among Northeastern schools go I, you know? Instead of being where I am - an internet cafe in Queenstown, full of curry and about to complete yet another exhaustive round of nightlife research - I could be hosting my own sports talkshow on WCFM. It would be called "The Beta Males."
I'm assuming, given the evidence above, that the "29 on 21, and I'm spent" that is both Adam's away message and the title of this blog post, refers to a really, really crowded game of pickup basketball. I would probably be really, really good at basketball, were I to apply myself, or become tall. With both? We're talking Bill Bradley level basketball wizardry.
