Looks like it is shaping up to be a good summer. I have some good stuff planned on the horizon. Not exactly what I initially planned to do but when you tempt me with the prospect of fried green tomatoes and trying alligator meat, well hell. I’m in. I’ll also be able to sing “I’m on a Boat” again, which will be fun. More details on all of that to come. And photos as well. Come to think of it, I still need to get my friend to email the photos of me perilously perched atop a giant mule. Bloody hell. I remember the first time I rode a camel and it felt a lot like I was teetering squarely on my anus. Oddest experience. There was a massive hump and I was sitting right on the apex of it. With the mule, it was like a grape on top of a watermelon. Except that the watermelon is 6’ from the ground and solid muscle. I told him numerous times that he was a good boy and to please not kill me. I have come to better understand the cliché “stubborn as a mule.” I wanted to ride, he wanted to stop and eat grass every five seconds. LOL. Typical man.
I’d like to give a shout-out to a friend. Nice guy who deserves some happiness. Sounds like he may have met someone who’s a good match for him. Only time will tell, but I’ve always thought he’d be great with some chick like Blossom’s character on Big Bang. (I don’t know her name on that show because I rarely watch it. I generically call her “Nerd Blossom” in traditional Cowell fashion. LOL) That’s what I see for him and the kind of girl I think he’d be happy with for the long haul. Good lookin’ out. I hope those kids make it. Maybe by next summer, I’ll get an invitation in the mail. :)
As for me, well, as my friend put it: “you have the hammer and the nail. Now you wait for right time to start hammerin’.” That sounds really perverted (giggity) but it’s a good analogy. It’s hard to wait on the timing to come together on things but I know it will be right as rain when it does. I think of it like that scene in the Disney Robin Hood movie where Robin is in disguise at the archery contest but when he looks at Maid Marion and their eyes meet, they have a total connection. Oooh-de-lolly!
Quotes from the blender
(10 year old kid is walking down the expressway by himself carrying an Oxford shirt and a necktie)
S: What in the hell is that kid doing? We will see him on the nightly news.
D: Maybe he is walking to work. Is he old enough to have a job?
S: I doubt it. I’m sure we’ll hear some horrific story that he has been savagely raped after being abducted from the highway.
D: That’s right. Pedo bait. Don’t tempt some dirty old pervert with a child carrying a man-suit.
S: *screaming laughter*
B: There’s some shit I’d really like to get out of. And flip the bird while I do it.
S: Ya know, I can’t really say as I’d recommend doing that to your employer until you’re sure that you’re leaving, pal.
D: Did you hear that the store manager got murdered?
S: No, I didn’t. But gee whiz, you sure are full of sunshine today.
V: Is that Harry Potter kid still around?
S: Yeah, he is. And still skinny as hell, too. I feel like telling him, “Come on to the house and let mama fatten you up.” He could stand about 10 trips to Braums.
S: He told me he’s left his wife and he wants to see me. I ran. I didn’t know what else to do. In that scenario, there’s only one scene you can imagine. And it doesn’t involve me playing counselor.
D: If danger breaks out, just let me know. I came prepared.
S: (pulls out two cans of Mace) Yeah, so did I.
D: I thought we clearly said “cheap” and then she starts talking about $450!
S: She had her head in her ass. Because “cheap” to me does not mean $500. I was like, “Um, $100 tops.”
D: You also said simple and easy to use and she starts asking about whether you want to change out lenses.
S: I know. Apparently she thought I was asking for the paparazzi / stalkerazzi starter kit.
S: Did I dream that conversation or did it really happen?
P: No, it really happened.
