Why didn't anyone tell me I was wearing a red shirt?
I know it's been awhile I'm sorry for those of you who enjoy my infreqent but fun tirades. Alot of it has to do with the Mac PC war in my household but believe me I will comment on that later oh yes I will. But my apparent red shirt wearing has otherwise occupied me, this started about two years ago in a land called Boston. I hated Boston still not a fan, there the red soxs (previously red shirt wearers themselves) won the world series, while I sadly wore my yankees hat. I must admit, football is my game and not baseball, but Nyc is my city (since living there) and Boston is so not (even after living there) so simply from the territorial perspective I was disappointed, being spit on and hated on wasn't very pleasant either. But that was awhile ago, since then I have moved 5 times will be moving again in two months and although now I reside in FL, with sunshine and nice people (often drunk , but how is that different from MA? besides these are happy drunks) . I must say growing pains is an understatement for my late 20's, my parents blame themselves for my nomad lifestyle, I blame the redshirt. I used to wear the green shirt mini dress ( like a girl kirk) everything I touched was golden and I beleive that outfit still hangs in my closet waiting to be worn but right now my life is in constant danger with this redshirt clause hanging over my head, from car accidents, ipod's wiped, sprained ankles, broken glasses to we want you just kidding interviews, it's beyond red in the face it's a red shirt. However today I say no more, I am not going to go into a sob story I am simply going to say no more and ask for a a main role on the series then the red shirt comes off and the mini dress goes on and who knows what happens in between. I say to all reddies out there say no more embrace your life and burn you red shirt ( also just say no to away missons for a little while).
For those of you ignorant to pop culture first I weep for you and secondly this is the definition according to Wikipedia, (online free encylopidia) :

A redshirt is a stock character, used frequently in science fiction but also other genres, whose sole purpose is to die violently soon after being introduced. Redshirts are a plot device used to indicate the dangerous circumstances faced by the main characters at the start of a narrative without having to kill any of the vital main characters. The term comes from the popular American science fiction television series Star Trek, in which security officers wore red shirts, and were often killed on missions under the aforementioned circumstances.
