And I am officially a sell out

So Friday was Good Friday and I was excited for Easter. On my way to dinner with my girlfriend, who is white with blonde hair and blue eyes, we passed two black women who gave me what would be called an “approving look-over,” followed by a disapproving look of my girlfriend, followed by the “OJ, Tiger and now this fool?” look. I then began to smile because just like budding flowers and chirping birds, when more people start recognizing my half-blackness you know spring and sunshine are in the air. It also guarantees that your girlfriend will try to pick a fight through scowls and “hating your jokes” for a few minutes.

The rest of the night was spent trying to convince my girlfriend why Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is awesome. Unsuccessful.

Saturday we went to Inherit the Wind with Christopher Plummer and Brian Dennehy. Excellent play, but what made it more awesome was the fact that Steven Colbert was sitting six rows directly in front of me. I know what you’re thinking and no, he hadn’t heard of me. It was just awkward watching my girlfriend sit on his lap for the second act of the play.
