Back by Blogular Demand….

Well………..after much nagging from the “blogmaster” it is that time again for another DGoodz Top 5. As you may have noticed recently, the blog has been like the stockmarket crash of 1929. It had much success and bloomed in the “golden years” but since then has crashed. It has had days that had as low as 25 hits! So after much discussion and advice from experts, we have decided that a way to stimulate the economy (blog) is to have another DGoodz Top 5. I decided to take off from helping 3rd world countries, creating a cure for floppy gum disease, and getting Britney’s life back in order to write another blog.

DGoodz Top 5 Most Awkward Moments:
Well, as these last couple of weeks have gone by, I realized that life is full of awkward moments. So it inspired me to write a blog and here are some personal awkward moments and general awkward moments that I have experienced.

5. The Awkward Instant Message/Text:
This is sometimes how a instant message will go.
Nagafooki96XO: hey
DGoodz2993:  hey

Nagafooki96XO: whats up
DGoodz2993: nothing much, u?
Nagafooki96XO: nothing much
DGoodz2993: cool
And that is the whole conversation and no one else has anything else to say after. Very Awkward!
 
4. Stairway: A couple days ago, on my way to art class, I was walking with my friend Tim down the stairs and when we got to the bottom of the stairs I said goodbye and walked away, but it turned out he was going the same wayas me too. I had nothing else to say to him, so it was a silent awkward walk the rest of the way.

3. “Well that’s awkward!”: Once in awhile when its silent, someone will just blurt out, “Well this is awkward!!!” No it’s not awkward, but you just made it awkward by saying that. Then, occasionally someone will say after “DId you know everytime there’s an wakward moment a gay child has been born?” How do you respond to that? So thanks a lot for making another situation uncomfortable!

 
2. April 6, 2008 at St.Bernadette’s Gym: So after church one day, my family and I went to the pancake breakfast and while we were waiting for our food, my mom calls over this guy that is the head of the religion program that she teaches to meet us. Well, it turns out that he used to teach at the school my brother and I attend. So he asked my brother, “Who’s your religion teacher this year?”, my brother’s response is “uhhhhh, (5 seconds later) …..Mr.(anonymous)” Then, he told us that alot of people don’t know a lot about the Old Testament and my dad said “oh yeah didn’t that have something to do with Pope John the 23rd?” It was dead silent afterwards and he got up and left shortly after. Now he thinks my brother is illiterate and my dad is crazy.

1. The King of all Awkwardness: I find one of the most awkward places to be on the elevator. Let’s face it, you’re cramped in a small cubicle with about 50 other people. Sometimes you start cracking up for no reason and everyone looks at you funny, so you face the wall. And then you have to deny the handicapped into the elevator because “there’s not enough room”. I suggest the next time that you are on an elevator, you introduce yourself to everyone and break the extreme barrier of awkwardness.

Honorable Mentions: You see someone waving and you are not sure if they are waving at you but you wave back anways, someone comes up and talks to you but you have no idea who they are, you keep laughing at something that you’re thinking about and when you try to explain it to someone else they say “That’s not funny”

Blogmaster’s Note:  This is precious, Dgoodz… Opens up a world of awkwardness, can not wait to view others’ awkward moments, as I once road an elevator with Clip Smith (old TV news personality)…

    a few things to say: first, my religion teachers name is mr gehl, not mr anonymous. second, me not knowing his name had nothing to do with illiteracy. just because i forgot someones name doesnt mean i cant read. third, i have never seen an elevator with 50 people on it. fourth, naming being on an elevator the king of awkwardness is like saying cous cous is the king of hors d’oeuvres. not gonna lie, a little disappointed

    I think it’s a good blog topic Dave. Another one for me is meeting someone who you were an acquaintance with years ago. You feel obligated to talk and be polite but you shortly realize you have nothing in common anymore and have nothing to say to each other.

    thank you father
    but dr sack and chris mean nothing in my book, i only accept reviews from profesional bloggers

    first off, dr sack i would like to see some form of college degree before you continue to go by this ‘doctor’ business. second good post dave, although i haven’t had many of these experiences first hand. i can say that falling in the mud during recess in 5th grade, then having to go through the remainder of the day wearing a shirt from the lost and found bin that read “Sheep Expo 87′” on it would qualify.

    donnie you may have fell in the mud, but in fifth grade i got crapped on by a bird, at school. not fun

    Having to watch sibling rivalry played out in public is a bit awkward.

    But I enjoyed the good doctor’s list… #4 made me think of meeting a neighbor in the grocery store (let’s say aisle 1), chatting them up for a few, then seeing them again in aisle 3, 5 and 7!

    I think most awkward moments are hard to explain (minus the boys and their school debacles). Mine usually involve rambling to someone and seeing that stricken look on their face that screams “I wish you would shut up!!” and of course I can’t and don’t. My most recent is that I was sure that this Puerto Rican “cart man/ greeter” at Walmart was hitting on me (you know smiling and getting me a dry cart in a rain storm and letting me cut thru one of the cashier aisles.. saying hi in the parking lot, til I found out he does the same for my friend Diane. I feel embarrassed, awkward and of course betrayed…yet will still smile back and snag that nice dry cart on my next trip in (probably to buy more red vines..)

    I was just reminded of another REALLY awkward moment. One day when dave was home sick, after giving him the usual milkshake and some sort of vitamin water/gator aide, I was like “let’s watch this super funny old school movie that I loved watching with my family as a teenager” “It is called 16 candles and it is sooooo funny”. We settle in on each end of the couch and to my horror after the first “period joke” there is a scene with the one girl showering -YES NUDE!!!!!!!!!! rubbing soap all over her bosoms. After quickly trying to retrieve the remote and slamming on the off key.we stared awkwardly ahead and put on Nick. Enough of “mother son bonding during a sick day!! Dave forgive me.too many Rhine wines and sodas and shots of tequila made me forget.

    Another awkward moment, someone holds the door for you entering or leaving a building, you say thanks, but it is immediately followed by another door. They might hold for it again for you, do you say thanks again, or you try to get ahead of them to hold it for them in return. Very uncomfortable.
