Chun and I went to eat at Jim N’ Nick’s new barbeque place last night to scope it out. I figure it’d be good to have eaten at places that I recommend to people when they come into town. At some point during our evening, I realized just how “together” Chun and I looked.
I had to go to the bathroom before leaving because of too much not-sweet-enough tea I had. I had quite an experience while in the bathroom. I mean, it’s always a little awkward when someone resides on the throne while I’m in there, but this guy was givin’ ‘er the old heave ho. Thanks to ole Bob VanGroanerson, I nearly peed myself immediately after using the bathroom.
When I got back, this music video of “If You Ever Stop Loving Me” by Montgomery Gentry was on CMT. Frankly, it sickened me. The contradictions were amazing. They sang all about this rough stuff happenin’ to them, followed by
That’s all right, I’m ok./ It ain’t nothin’ but another day./ But only God knows where I’d be,/ If you ever stopped lovin’ me./ I need you,/ Gotta have you,/ In my life, on my side,/ Every day I’m alive,/ Every might when I’m greedy an’ needing,/ You!
This is all being shot in scenes of riding motorcycles out with the boys. Good things she loves him so much, else he wouldn’t be able to have all that boy time… (sissy)…
Last week I spent a few days helping my bro and his wife move their stuff to their new townhouse. At some point during the trip–I can’t remember exactly when–he passed me a $10 all secret-like, coming up close, slipping his hand into mine, and passing off the bill with ease. That instantly took me back to the day mom took us to East Town when we were kids. She went into some store for a few minutes and let Daniel and I stand out in the corridor. For some reason, D had this idea that I needed possession of the $20 mom had given him. So, since he was older, I listened to him. We had it set up; it was all perfectly planned. He would pass the sweet green off, and none would be the wiser.
He looked at me, and my eyes narrowed at him from across the atrium. We each began our slow, determined walk. At the precise moment that had been destined for ages, I met both Daniel and Mr. Jackson. We experienced no complications during the exchange, and sunset saw a strange calmness cast itself o’er the region.
Today at work, I stumbled across a gem for the walls: a WAYLON JENNINGS most wanted poster. We were printing T-Shirts for the old boy, and so I saved me one of the test cloths to hang up. Before doing so, however, Chun, Waylon, and I played some video games.
Hmm… maybe I’ll start an Adventures with Waylon! series. We shall see… we shall see indeed.
One last thing must be mentioned before signing off: Chun is currently out looking for various hotels and apartment complexes that have pools. Hey, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do when his college doesn’t have a swimming environment for refreshment or sport. Anyway, I have to go make sure I have enough to make Chun’s bail… just in case.
