got to blog a couple times...went to the bank...spent some time with my dad...all good. well, i thought it was all good until i found out i was in the running for a JOD (Jackass of the Day award). it's definitely a performance award, similar to the Oscar, Tony, Emmy, Obie, etc. the statue is not golden, but a bit furry and looks like Shrek's head.
i was in no danger of winning the prize, as it had been a pretty quiet day. i didn't have to compete with the guy who tried cutting down a beehive with a weed whacker or those two soldiers who were merrily playing a drinking game that involved simultaneous Russian Roulette and landmine leap frog. i hear those guys are the most nominated...
so what put me in the running for the JOD? i accumulated some points when i went to get a haircut from my stylist, KC. i asked her to cut it a bit shorter than usual...i didn't know that 'a bit shorter' was 'let's cut an extra inch off and make his jug ears stick out!' good thing it'll grow back...but for the time being, i look like my brother who is on a blacklist that i share with my sister...grrr
a few hours later, i was watching the rain hammering everything in sight...talk about a drench-fest. well, this is when i got those extra points, making me a contender. mesmerized, i was watching the sheets of rain crash on the roof across the street when i realized that i had left two of my car windows ajar. you know, it's one of those 'AW, SHEEEEEYYYIIIITTTT!!!' moments...and the jackass ears just come up, like some cartoon.
so instead of gallantly running out to the car and rectifying the situation, i sheepishly watched as Lake Honda and its feeder, Lake Accord, built up some reservoirs...sigh. ah well, it's not the first time that has happened. in fact, i've probably let it happen 15-20 times in the last six years...poor thing is used to it.
therefore, i'm not sure if that performance will get me the award, since the multiple occasions in which it has happened will count against me. still, i'm keeping my fingers crossed...if i win, i can add it to the other two that i won in my teenage years...i'll blog about those two incidences soon...they're classics!
such aspirations. i hear that there's a similar, but more prestigious honor that is much harder to achieve. it's called the Horse's Ass of the Decade (HAD) award. although it may be awhile before the next winner is declared...and a few more opportunities to gather appropriate contenders...but i hear the front runner (by leaps and bounds) is a guy named Dubya...i don't think i stand a chance.
