This & That
June 11, 2017

What is “This & That”, you ask? Okay, you’re probably not asking that, but I’ll tell you anything. It’s exactly what it says. I speak of whatever comes to mind with a few brief comments and then move on. It could be just whatever I’ve seen or heard of today or something I took note of a while back and just never got around to mentioning. I take lots of little notes to myself so anything is possible. No political correctness here and nothing is off limits. Well, maybe jokes about the Jewish community and the Holocaust. I’ll save those for when I’m with my brother on the Live.Me thingee. Also, I won’t post any pictures of myself holding the decapitated head of a sitting President. That’s tasteless, tacky, sickening and has already been done. Maybe I’ll post a picture of myself though holding up the decapitated head of Kathy Griffin? Nah, people might get mad and I’m not (quite) that low and reprehensible of a human being. I have (some) standards. Let’s just get to it, shall we? Time is wasting and the rent is too damn high!

RIP to the greatest Batman of all time, the best Mayor that Family Guy ever had, and a truly iconic and legendary member of the television community. RIP to Adam West, who passed away yesterday. My condolences to the family, friends and fans of this amazing entertainer and actor.

It never fails. In the few moments it took to write just that small piece above, we’ve had the phone start ringing, several texts from my bro, and my Mom coming into the room to stand over me and tell me about her experiences at the car wash. Whenever I sit down to write, no matter what time of day or night it may be, it seems as if the world is conspiring against me with distractions and interruptions. They don’t want me to write. Why? What are they trying to prevent me from telling you? What don’t they want you to know? Why is it such a big issue that if I even begin to get into the zone and sit down in front of this computer, I must be stopped. It never fails, be it the phone, the other phone, the TV (turned up as loud as it will go because some people in this house can’t hear very well), someone talking over the TV and telling me about people I don’t know, from places I’ve never been, doing things I could care less about. I need a secluded quiet place to write. I need to get rid of these phones. I need to unplug the TV and take the batteries from the remote so she can’t turn it up to extreme loud. I need peace, quiet and salvation. I’d settle for some Chinese food. I’m getting hungry.

I remember a guy from school. 8th grade to be exact at Townsend Middle School in Maxton. Haven’t thought of this guy in twenty years and don’t know why I’m even thinking of him now. His name was John Dash and we didn’t get along at all. Many fights, many arguments and just total disdain for each other. I wonder what ever happened to him? And why am I wondering this now, after all these years?

I saw a man the other day at the store and the physical transformation of this guy from the last time I saw him to now is amazing. It’s a little short dude that used to work at Food Lion. He’s tiny and cute as hell and a bit on the arrogant side. But he’s cute as hell and so damn tiny. He left Food Lion and then worked at a Pizza place for a bit and then kind of vanished. Well, he came into the store the other day and he’s lost all of the baby fat. Had a little stache’ going on and several tattoos. He was dressed differently too, all kind of butch and shit. And damn, he looked different and freakin’ good! I didn’t even recognize him at first as the same person that I used to see at the grocery store. I carded him for his purchases and when I realized it was the same cute little fellow, just WOW! He still had some ego and arrogance in his strut and manner, like he knows he’s the shit, but hell, right now, I don’t blame him. He looks great. I’d do him.

And now, my cat has decided to join the conspiracy against me. She just walked into my room and jumped up on my desk. She is now sitting on top of my mouse, looking at me and quietly meowing, demanding attention. I guess it’s not meant for me to write today. The whole world is against me, I swear it. So I’m giving up. Time to close this up and spend time with my fur-baby child, scratching her knobby little head. And then, a quick shower and it’s out into the world to chill with my bro and the mini-me for a bit and see what kind of shenanigans we can get into. So I’m out of here. Sorry this is so short, but it happens sometimes. Thanks for reading and I’ll see you later.

Have a great day!
