it's worked for me so far....

[mark at 10thumbs.org]

i'm curious how -- other than punching little kids (great story MB, i
laughed out loud here at work) folks are coping... what stage of the grief
process are you on?

i guess this won't work if you're married (i don't know maybe it will) but
here's how I, (the other) mark, have been coping. No little kids punched
in the face... yet. I was in a state of shock last night, just before i
fired off the i'm gonna go get sh*t-faced comment.

well i did and it worked.  Got to the bar, had 4 beers and a quart of malt
liquor and i talked to a pretty girl. but then made a drunk fool of myself
(2x) and have been laughing at what an idiot i am all day.  I try to think
of Oden in Black and i just giggle about what a fool i was to have botched
it with the woman from the bar.

i feel like i'm a bad C's fan (this on the heels of the Lakers-colors
design dilemma yesterday). I want to be bitter, not giddily embarassed.

So my perscription:  Go get drunk with your best friend.  Embarass
yourself in front of a pretty girl/boy.  Then look up ignominy the next
morning.
