Reason 53

Spontaneity. I like to think of myself as a fairly spontaneous person, although sometimes I need a little push to get there. In high school I had a wonderful friend named Michelle who made me feel daring and confident. One night we were hanging out on our school's soccer field with some guys we were crushing on when we both decided to whip off our shirts and run a lap in the moonlight, whooping like banshees. I keep that memory tucked away in the back of my mind and access it when I need to tip the scales of spontaneity. Like now. Yesterday I found out you are performing as part of Sketchfest in San Francisco on January 30, a mere week away. Now, any sane person would think "huh, it would be cool to see Jason Segel live, but the 3,000 mile trip seems a tad excessive." Lucky for you, Jason, I am anything but sane. Driving for 12 hours on Friday, enjoying the City by the Bay on Saturday, and turning around to drive another 12 hours back to Seattle on Sunday seems like just my cup of tea (metaphorically, of course, since I don't like hot liquids - see Reason 51). Don't you want a friend who occasionally throws caution to the wind and who is willing to drive 3,000 miles to see you? Spontaneity, Jason. Ya' dig?
