Dave Bazan on Monday. Possible Andy Davis on Friday. <3 Exit/In. This should be good. On to the meat and potatoes...

A few weeks ago, Michael, Jake and I were entering my house to watch The Office, which I had taped. Lights were out and the three of us all had some delicious ice cream in our hands. To set the stage, the light switch in the living room doesn't work. We pull the cord on the overhead fan/light to turn it on and off. Anyway, I continue...

So Jake is on my right, the non-working light switch on our left. He proceeds to reach across my body to flip the light switch, knocking my plate out of my left hand and the ice cream to the floor. This is the point where I leave my normal, relaxed countenance behind and enter the irrational.

Me: "Oh my God, Jake! There's no freaking light switch there, it doesn't work! Ugghgh! You knocked it out of my hands trying to reach over me, what the heck!"

Jake and Michael: "It's okay, Scotty, we can get some more"

This is the part of the outburst where I walk into the kitchen and throw my keys up against the wall and on to the counter. This is also the part where I realize that I'm being COMPLETELY irrational.

So we sit down on the couch and watch The Office, but no one really says anything. Eventually, Michael offers me a bite of his ice cream. At this point, we acknowledge what just took place. I apologized, we laughed, etc. However, I've been reminded of these events about two dozen times. Pretty much daily.

Just felt like telling everyone how I 'earned' my nickname The Rage :P


Apparently the facial expressions I was making were similar to this picture of my 'Gears face' for the rare occasions I play Xbox with him.
