Another summer project! Even now that I'm a working man, in fact especially now that I'm a working man, I still need to have my fun. Not just any fun, mind you,
my fun. But given the circumstances, I'm going to set up some parameters for this exercise before I find my victim(s) and get into it. The initial requirements for her are the same as for anybody I choose to associate myself with, and if you aren't aware, I set as high standards for my friends as I do for myself. I don't really have any specificications outside of the non-negotiable 5'6" rule, so beyond that I'll call it when I get to it, but y'all know how I roll. And of course she's got to be able to keep up with me intellectually, otherwise it just won't be worth it. Anyway, the bigger problem is finding said sweet little something. Naturally the game will be much different depending on the girl. I can think of several quality untapped sources that I already know, each of whom could create interestng developments and plenty of fun, but as we know, I'm only charming, entertaining, and interesting for two weeks, so for my game to be at it's peak, it's going to have to be somebody I don't know. And the added bonus of people I don't know is that I won't have to ever see them again if I don't want to. I imagine the best way to do this is first to find somebody who's down with what I do and in on it, and then get her to bring me one of her desperate but good-looking girlfriends. I know of a few who love playing match-maker, especially with an case like me. So my project can actually start out by letting all of you have the fun of finding me a project, just like the last two years when I cut some people loose to get me a prom date. Anyway, let's pretend I've found somebody, one way or another, what am I going for here? I'm serious when I talk about doing serious field research, and I'm only serious about having some fun with no call for commitment, especially with it being summer and going back to school in August and all. I'm here to break paradigms, not hearts; I never try deliberately to hurt people without it being simply a side-effect of my research. You can't make an omelete without breaking some eggs, and you can't make a new life-saving drug without killing some monkeys, and it's no different in the psychosocial researh I do. The results of my previous research have gotten me to where I now feel the need to put them into practice. If I can get somebody to bring me smebody new, I can drop some straight mack on it and finally prove to myself I haven't just been making everything up so far. They say you have to repeat your experiments over and over again to verify your results, so that's what I'm up to besides just for some fun. And of course if I can convert one more to my out-of-the-relationship-box reality, the world will be that much better. You might say "Watson, you alone can never possible make a difference in the world." but at least I will have made a world of difference to that one. So if you or a friend are going to be in the Winston-Salem area and want to be in a taping of an episode of the hit sitcom "WATson!", then bring your name and number by our studio and we'll see if you meet our eligibility requirements. The contest winner will recieve what everyone who has ever met me hopes to God they are never threatened with.
