| | You can do it all by yourself. I thought about titling this post "Likert's Scale of Hipness". I stuck with "Snap yo fingers..." because it's Tuesday which is usually a day of solitude. The banter on the fantasy message boards has slowed, my friends are 2 days into their respective work weeks, and I am diving into a new and exciting chapter in "Learning Chinese characters from Ms. Zhang". Will anyone understand the reference in my title? Probably not. Does that bother me? To quote my Chinese friends, "Not at all". It amuses me and that's what Tuesdays are all about. Don't worry. The post will still feature a Likert scale. If there are any marketing majors reading try to control your excitement.
I went to OKC this past weekend to visit Luke and Tyler. The time with Tyler was good. We ate some black bean burgers, hung out at a coffee shop, shared some music, and pondered the mysteries of life. When we parted I felt thoroughly hippified. If I had to explain the experience graphically, I would say it left me about here.

Unfortunately all that indie hipness was quickly washed away by Luke. We listened to The Fray, saw Borat, and argued over the relevance (or lack thereof) of symbolism in the latest episode of Lost. I left OKC restored to my original level which is roughly here

In conclusion, it's nice to have friends that provide me with a healthy balance. It makes me more relateable (word?). This is good because I spend most of my time in coffee shops surrounded by people who are vastly different from me. I'd like to put that thought on hold and apologize to the aspiring artisis and musicians I have previously labeled "unemployed", "lazy", and "good for nothing bohemians". Chase those dreams no matter how unrealistic! While I may not be one of you I'm certainly in your corner. That's all. Also, J.J. Abrams is a punk. I don't care how much good press he gets.
