Whatever Happened to Subliminal Man?

My good buddy, BRLII, brought up a good question: whatever happened to subliminal man? I think this is the theme of my life right now and representative of some things I've been going through.

Some background. When I was in college I would frequently give announcements to the entire student body in the form of Subliminal Man modeled after Kevin Nealon's character on Saturday Night Live from many years ago. I think I have two legacies from college: Subliminal Man and playing Van Halen from the bell tower on my synthesizer for the entire campus to hear. Ten years later I still hear, "Oh, you were the guy who...."

Looking back on those days I realize I'm a lot different than I was then. Better? Probably not. I used to be fun, a little outgoing, a bit crazy, and a lot friendlier. Why the change? No idea. All I know is that I've been in a funk for about 5 years and it's only been about six months since I've realized it.

Exerpt from one of my fav movies:

Ray Zalinski: Goin' a little heavy on the pine tree perfume there kid?
Tommy Boy: No, it's an auto air freshener!
Ray: Good. Good, you've pinpointed it. Now the next step is washin' it off!

Now I just have to figure out how to get out of this funk and see about returning to my old, fun self. We're on a quest for Subliminal Man.
