Tonight, after the show, I met a brilliant guy.  Brilliant for two reasons.

First, when I asked him what he was studying at the University of Florida, he told me he wasn’t in school at all.  Why is that brilliant?  Well, the show was at the weekly meeting of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and this brilliant single guy attends that meeting regularly.  I can think of no better place for a guy i his early twenties to meet a girl in her early twenties than a University, and who says you have to pay a University thousands of dollars in order to reap the, um, social benefits of being at one?

Secondly, did I mention the brilliant guy isn’t going to school at all?  That’s not brilliant on its own but I think it is when said guy doesn’t have a good reason to.  You see, this guy gave college the good old, um, college try and then wisely realized that he was going to school (and paying a bunch of cash to do so) pretty much only because he was expected to.  It’s what you do next when you’re a middle class white kid with a high school diploma.  But this brilliant guy bailed on that and decided to work instead while he figures out what he loves enough to study hard and what God might have actually made him for besides making enough cash to pay the bills.  And, like I said, he goes to all those meetings of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Brilliant, man.  Just brilliant.

Also, last night and tonight combined, students at the University of Florida sponsored 56 kids.  Also brilliant.
