Let’s Make The Water Turn Black
Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated, again. How many times can a person apologize for not writing in a month? Rather, how many readers will be left after this? Not too many, but we’ve been down before, right? We’re still here.
I thought it would be a good idea to take a month off everything: Magic, Poker, writing, friends, games, everything, and try to get back on track. Lately, I had this nagging feeling that I should be doing something, the problem being that something was an undefined variable. Still is, actually, so this may be an on-going change process. That, or I’ll get sufficiently narcotized by my entertainments so I’ll stop caring for another, I don’t know, 10 years?
One can only hope.
In any case, I went ahead and signed on for The Caledonian Challenge. If you’re too lazy to follow the link, that means sometime in the middle of June me and 5 team members will walk 54 miles in 24 hours. It may also mean that sometime around that date, you’ll never hear from me again. I’m taking it seriously, running and doing exercise every day, playing basketball on weekends and giving up Coke (capital C, “Always Coca-Cola” Coke, not “Roll up a Bennie and powder your nose” coke) and candy. My latent suicidal tendencies might have something to do with this, rather than the feeling that my life is coming to an end. And here I was, thinking that I was over the 27-year hump.
I also enrolled myself into a moviemaking college. Because that’s just what I need right now: more unfinished stuff. Truth be told, even if I get the call tomorrow that I made it through the tests, I don’t plan on attending, which translates to: I just paid a bunch of money for absolutely no reason. If anybody needs a head check it’s the guy that wakes up one morning and goes “Hey, I need more standardised tests in my life. I wonder whether these guys will take my money”.
The answer, for the second question at least, is yes.
So, I’m still alive. The rest, I’ll let you know as it unfolds.

54 miles in 24 hours? When you say “me and 5 members will walk”, what is that a metaphore for? I want un-edited video of this feat of strength. Mr. Costanza would be proud even though it isnt Festivus.
Later
F it

Well, it occurred to me that something like a deadly challenge would be more appropriate for a contest that is to attract people with suicidal tendencies. It would be more interesting too, although in a more sadistic and morbid way; and it would make that Caledonian walk of yours look like a pussyfied walk in the park. I would call it ‘The Long Calendonian Walking Massacre’: it would be like a reality show inspired on this famous Stephen King book.

That’s the ultimate prize:
“The winner gets the opportunity to donate money to a charity. This charity is super-secret, and in desperate need of money. Only by winning will you learn its name, and be able to save them from certain death!”
