Date Blog: The Blind Leading the Blind

So...uh.... I guess I have a date the weekend after next...a blind one. Well shit. To be totally honest, I didn't really think I'd have to follow through with this whole blog gimmick thing. Then Shelbfest had to get all saucy and and actually find someone!

Lucky for you, you get to watch the spectacle. We'll get into specifics (dress, talk, food) later, but first, I want to hear some awesome date stories from you. I need the " I wish someone would've told me this" tidbits. The more embarrassing the better. I'm taking some of you down with me and, frankly, I could use all the help I can get.

I hope he looks like Jon Hamm.

Wanted Blog: Who Knows a Sucker?

You know what this blog needs? If you say good writing and less f bombs you might as well stop reading now. This blog needs a gimmick. A shameless gimmick just to get this blog attention. So, my friends Shelbfest and Emily have come up with the first blog gimmick of 2010. We'll call it "I Didn't Think They Would Actually Be Blind, Date 2010."

Here's how it will work. One of you guys set me up on a blind date, and since I'm incapable of making my own decisions I'm going to turn to you in my preparation. Things like, what to wear, what to say, what NOT to say ( I mess that up about as often as you would think). You get the idea. It will be a series of blog posts dedicated to allowing you to watch me inevitably fail. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this fail has the potential to be pretty epic. You won't want to miss your chance to be a part of it. 

If you need basic guidelines, please see my most recent Advice Blog. Hilarious and good looking are pretty large pluses, and if you happen to know a guy with a British accent that won't hurt either. Please use your best judgment here people. My self confidence is hanging by a thread and Robert Downey Jr. not calling me back isn't helping.
