The Wednesday Commute, Brooklyn to Manhattan

Last night, while I hoisted an umpteenth thinly sliced marbled disc of cured meet slathered in olive oil into my already over-lubricated gullet, Roger facilitated an interesting revelation: it is impossible to talk oneself into feeling something, while disquietingly easy to talk oneself out of it.

Todd, aren't those two seemingly opposite things actually the same thing?

Toddy said...

No.


Maybe.

Toddy said...

Yes?

Toddy said...

Stop it.

BigDan said...

Whether or not they're the same, I disagree with Roger. More importantly, don't ever Photoshop a bourbon belly on me again without my permission.

I couldn't get a pure bead on exactly what Roger was saying, but this morning, the whole talking-yourself-in-and-out-of-stuff line is what I came away with from the interaction.

I don't agree with you not showing up for soccer games. Rather, it disagrees with me.

BigDan said...

I don't like missing games either, but every once in a while it's good to remind people what it's like when you're not around.

Toddy said...

I think you are the only one who doesn't know what that feels like pretty well already Dan.

what?
