the genetics of competition...
well i will be going to sleep very soon since the wedding i am involved with is in about 10 hours. we had a great time tonight finding out what everyone has been up to over the past year, what has changed, what stayed the same, and theories as to who will be next to take the plunge (quite an entertaining bet that has been going on for years now). either way, it has been great to meet up with some of the old undergrad crew (yes, i was in undergrad at one point) and hang out. we also got to meet the bridesmaids and other people involved with the wedding. those southern girls are something else, haha.
anyway, getting back to the topic of this post. i will leave you guys with a recent excerpt from my sister sarah's live journal. she raises some interesting points, but also demonstrates why for some reason us davids don't get much done or put a lot of effort into things unless there is some sort of competition at stake. yeah, sounds clinical. here is the post:
" so i'm thinking that everyone is probably boggled by my recent lj update craze. i owe it all to solo...you're going down by the way!
that brings up an interesting concept that i was thinking about the other day. i mean for the past couple months i've kind of slacked with updating and what not,and then once word of a competition was brought up, all of a sudden i'm back in the game. it made me think, would i be a slacker at other things if there were competition involved? or am i just really eager to beat the golden child at something? hmmm...i guess i'll never know. chances are i'll probably always be a slacker though."
well i found it entertaining/interesting. i need to get some sleep, one of my best friends is getting married tomorrow AND i will also be able to watch the Michigan game...in the words of Aundrea and company (from back in the day at ONU) "bonus, double score!" <:><
and some random pics from rick's that i promised in the last post:
what AJ has titled 'the oreo'
hal and brian as statues
