wristband challenge 08

2008-11-10T19:43:00.002-05:00

The Wristband Challenge 08 is a contest to see, really, just how long you can keep one of those rubber wristbands on your arm. The rules are simple; put one on by Nov. 8, 2008 at midnight, and keep it on. For more information and to formally join the competition, visit the Facebook group here.

Update, Sunday Nov. 8
Handicaps have been added. If you have not joined the challenge by Saturday, November 8 by 12:00 AM, it's okay. I'm allowing a 7-day handicap. You must record the exact hours:minutes past the original date, however, when you place the wristband on your arm. After everyone else has removed their wristbands (or have had them removed by force O.o), you still will not win until the handicap period has passed.

Also, don't worry if you haven't joined the Facebook group. The way you enter the challenge is by wearing the wristband. I don't even have to know about it. This just helps everybody keep track. So, if you are playing and you haven't joined yet, that would be great. Pics of your lovely wristband and your handicap period (if you have one) are greatly appreciated! Also, when you remove yours (trust me, you will), please post here or tell me or tell someone to tell me or tell someone to tell someone to tell or so on, so we know for sure who's in, out, etc.

If you have any questions about rules, qualifications, odd penalties, etc, just ask. Have fun!

proclamations of love
crammed in five kilobytes
takes just a minute to send
and a second to write
it's got to be quick
cause it'll end by tonight
you wouldn't know
cause your mind isn't right
oh my gosh, this is the end of the world.
i wrote this earlier today. by my standards, it's one of the better songs i've tried to write. i'm working on the music in finale, but i doubt it will come out right. we'll see.

later
so i've finished the music. you can download it in a pdf here. let me know what you think. ps: ignore page two.

the days are getting longer, shorter, more interesting, and more boring, all at the same time. a paradox, no? i find that, after years of solitude, the social butterfly inside me is waking up a little, and the process of ripping that cocoon can be a little painful. i feel a little held back by my own mistakes in the past, in terms of being antisocial. yes, i admit it, i have been antisocial in the past. not just a loner, or 'by myself' for a while, but for a very long time i avoided people and was kind of proud of it.
but now i've seen the problems with that. in (most) everyone's life, there's a need for friends. don't get me wrong, i have great friends, but there's part of me that says i could be doing better. that sounds terrible. what i mean is - i don't think i'm the best friend i can be, or the best contributor to society i can be. i know i always say society is evil and everything, but it has its pros. the cons are what happens later when you're alone...

i'm listening to ben sollee right now. he plays cello. it's soothing. (http://bensollee.com/)
