The Chronicles Of…

You’re that guy that tells people you’re reading books but you’re really blogging from your iPhone…

• You’re that guy who doesn’t blog for months and then dumps like 4 blogs in one hour….

• You’re also that guy who doesn’t blog in ages and then expects that everyone will read and care about what you’ve written…

• You’re that guy who stays up late on the internet and then complains in the morning when you’re tired…

You’re that guy… Who waits until just after Council Cleanup day, and then puts a load of rubbish out on the street, which you just know is going to stay there for months, because there’s no way the garbage collectors will pick that lot up.

You’re that guy… Who is too busy twittering, Facebooking, & texting on your mobile device to engage with people face to face.

You’re that guy.. who drag races people and drives like a tool just so you can be the first to the next red light.

• You’re that guy… who doesn’t use toothpaste.
• You’re that guy… who parks their car on church property 24/7 so that people who actually come to church can’t get a parking spot.
• You’re that guy… who pays lots of money to get good tickets at a concert and then watches it through a 2″ LCD screen on the back of your camera.
• You’re that guy… who has a pony tail and where’s a big bloody cricket hat and a backpack and loves to have a whinge at people who actually enjoy being at the front of a concert.

That tries to manage people when in fact you’re not their manager at all…

I’m starting a new series of blogs and I’m encouraging everybody to get in on the action! It’s called (wait for it…) “You’re that guy!”

That’s right campers! “You’re that guy” is about trying to box people into narrow minded stereo types. Here’s how it works: all you have to do is notice a trait, or common thread that vaguely links certain types of personalities or behaviours and then say “Oh, you’re that guy who has a bottle opener key ring…”

That’s it! So simple. You don’t have to make any value judgements, just pick it out and label it.

Here’s a couple to start us off:

• Oh, you’re that guy who wears skinny jeans…
• Oh, you’re that guy who spells the abbreviated ‘you are’ as ‘your’…
• Oh, you’re that guy who has an apple mac T-shirt…

See how fun it is! Give it a go!

I bet Pete’s got some good ones (eg. Oh, you’re that guy who dares me to pepper spray you…)

look forward to hearing from you.
