arm wrestlin'

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2005.04.28

Much to my amazement, I got into an arm wrestling match this evening at a bar. With... a woman. I won, per se, but does a man arm-wrestling a woman ever actually win?

I was out with the gang from Jon's outfit, with whom I'd interviewed yesterday. I was told I'd be wrestling "for the job". Good show that I didn't actually lose.

rand()m quote

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
