Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2494990, member: 488"] I took his post as tongue in cheek. He's clearly joking to at least some extent, but I do think there is an undercurrent of excitement being expressed there as well...kind of like he is willing it into existence. Kind of like how "my boy here is going to kill it at the bar tomorrow night!" is both meant to make light of the situation while also revealing a subtle vote of confidence. Then again, I could be way off. His prose tends to contain an unbridled wave of adrenaline no matter the circumstances. My read is that he's just a fun guy to be around who makes everybody feel better about themselves. I sort of think you can be that way and be bitter about the current situation at the same time.
