I'm Famous Part II...Even More Famous

So I told you I’d let you know when the video of me talking about the David Eccles School of Business was posted. I lied. Apparently it’s been up for a couple of months or something. Anyway, here it is.

But before you watch, some disclaimers. The video seems to emphasize the fact that, at times, my eyes don’t look symmetrical. Or that maybe both halves of my face are slightly offset. Well, they’re not. My nose is crooked. I broke it when I was 9. Well, I didn’t break it. My Dad broke it. We went 4Wheeling and I did fine riding on my own. But my Dad wanted to go with me and drove us into a dry riverbed. In his defense, he honestly thought we could clear it. Not in his defense, he was a fool and there was no chance in hell we were going to clear it.

Anyway, it actually healed crooked and they had to re-break it to straighten it. You want tickly, itchy torture? Try bandages that cover your nostrils and never come off for 3 weeks. It was hell. And as you’ll see, I have big nostrils. (Wow, I’ve already written “hell” twice in this blog. I’ve come back from summer all saucy.) They told me then that if I hit my nose again before I was 16 to come back because it would probably go crooked and they could reset it. About 2 weeks after I got the bandages off, my older sister pulled my face down onto her knee all Hacksaw Jim Duggan style. And that was just the first of a steady stream of incidents that spread my nose all over my face. So I didn’t go back and resigned myself to looking like a Roman boxer. Or a Picasso.

Incidentally, I’m trusting Google that the pic is a Picasso. If it’s not, let me know. An art scholar I’m not. Unless Bob Ross counts. Watched him religiously as a kid. Happy little trees. Half painter, half philosopher, all afro.

Another disclaimer. I’m apparently boring. I’ve only shown this video to one person, my friend Brittany. About a minute into it she asked if she could check her Facebook. Then she started skipping forward through the video. She did, however, giggle a little at the end when they had me talk about this blog.

Maybe it would be better if you just watched the 3 others they interviewed...Jarum, Varun, and Nana. I spoke way too quickly and frenetically. You can actually understand what these three are saying. Please watch at least one, though, so this blog conveys something about the program and not just something about my busted up face.

In retrospect, I should have taken this opportunity to talk about Jarum, Varun, and Nana. But I wrote all about it me. Narcissistic. Oh well, I’m not going to rewrite it.
