ive been doing this gangsta shit since 2001 and in that time this blog has gotten me jobs and travel and friends and fancy cars and pretty much everything a man could ever want.
but today, a little bird reminds me, is the tenth anniversary of when a beautiful young lady, aged 21 i think, flew across the country to meet me.
and when she arrived i picked her up at the airport and drove her to my house and she put her suitcase on the floor and we looked at each other
and i said, well. and she said, yep.
and i said you flew all the way here to meet me?
and she said yep.
and i said here i am.
and she said and here i am.
so i slowly took off my cowboy shirt and hat and she took off hers.
and we stood there, hatless looking at each other as my christmas lights twinkled and i said, so you’ll do whatever i want right now?
and she said yep.
so i said twirl around a little so i can see if youre carrying a weapon.
and she said you are way better than i expected.
and i discovered that she was not carrying any weapons
and that was just the first of many discoveries that we had that weekend and it was, ive gotta say, one of the top ten things that have happened to me that wouldnta happened if i hadnta written a blog way back in 2001
which is one of the reasons i try to convince everyone out there in the world to write write write write or draw draw draw or whatever you do
do it.
because it just might ring true to someone else. and they might be tall and tanned and way prettier in real life
than on flickr.
