Michael Cera's strange 8 month 'friendship' with an unknown texter

Whenever a friend asks me if I have any interesting tales involving text-messaging, I think of Jeremy. Jeremy, a man I am no longer in touch with, was someone I once considered a friend. It started out very simply: one day I received a text message from a phone number I did not recognize. Intrigued, I replied, and thus began an intimate and illuminating correspondence. I wish to share with you now my record of this peculiar kinship.

Pretty entertaining read, but if I can summarize, basically Michael Cera (the actor) gets a text from a guy he's never met in his life.  And from reading it, it looks like he began to communicate with him in a fictionalized version of himself.  (otherwise, he's a weird dude). Michael does most of the texting, and does a lot of over-sharing, and at least one time pretends to angry with him after Jeremy stands him up when they were supposed to meet.  So finally Jeremy invites him over to a party and one of his friends' home.

 

And this is where things get weird. He never really explained what exactly what happened, but from I can figure-- Jeremy (the unknown guy) brings along this girl that he likes ( or maybe they were dating, I have no clue).  She was fan of his movies.  Something happened, and in the texts Michael said something about kissing her, and made a comment about her having a nice butt.  Jeremy ended up changing his number and stopped all communication with him.

 

I'm assuming Michael Cera did this as a social experiment.  Found it interesting, and very very weird.

    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season? 
    • Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in. 
    • JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
