Proof Of My Sexiness: Exhibit A

Posted
August 12 2004

From What's in a Name? Well, Matt Is Sexier Than Paul:

Men with "front vowels" in their names -- sounds formed at the front of the mouth like the "a" in Matt -- were considered sexier than men with "back vowel" sounds like the "au" in Paul, she concluded.

Now consider my name: Alexander, and I ask you… need I say more?

Freaky Occurrences

Posted
August 12 2004

The day before yesterday, I heard that had been bombing attacks in Istanbul, Turkey, in the same area (Sultanahmet) as where I spent a great week with some friends from school, almost a year ago. The weird thing is; our trip had been canceled a couple of times back then, in fear for exactly what has happend now.


Yesterday, when I was walking to Tram 2 Court—in order to play some basketball (which went well)—I was thinking about whether basketball legend Michael Jordan would reply if you were to send him an email via his site. I have no idea why I was thinking about that, as there was no event in my life that should lead to it: I hadn't been to his site… nothing.

This night, I was talking to Enrique on MSN Messenger. Out of the blue, he tells me he has received a reply from MJ, to an email that he had sent via the site. … Weird!

We've seriously been experiencing too much of this sort of shit lately.
