** comments at the end today**
I’m leaving the bay area for the ride down south later this am, so again I’m going light and sweet on the subject matter today. It’s been a treat to visit with Mischa and Boggzy, they are amazing and so easy to hang with I wish we lived closer to each other…
Deeper issues manana, yes? – Today…today is about ‘moments’
I’m positive we all have ’moments’ with strangers but why does it seem like I have more than the average Jane/Joe? I don’t really mind, I love a good laugh, but I often wonder, if this is a universal thing for most of you, too?
Here’s just a sampling of this past weeks’ incidents:
One night I stopped in a local venue to meet friends; there was a band, I wasn’t into their music but the singer had a deep raspy voice I liked as background music. I made busy talking and all that and then they played their last song of the set. It was hysterical…it was called, ‘the only good thing in life I do is eat pussy’ and the singer stripped down to a US flag g-string and walked around wailing this chorus, it was a very funny finish to an ‘eh’ musical set.
A minute later, a man walks up to me, not any of my friends and two of them are totally gorgie, and he says, ‘Hi, oh God I hope you won’t slap me in the face for this…’ I said, ‘wait, what, why would I slap you in the face?’ he says, ‘well, my friends told me to pick a woman in this place and I chose you, (sounds pretty juvie so far, right?) then they told me I had to come and tell you that the only good thing I do in life is eat pussy.’ I won’t tell you my response, but we couldn’t stop laughing. His friends also wanted the woman, me, to turn around and smile back at them, I did but I held my hand up high like I was going to crack their friend upside the head. It was a lewdly funny and random thing, yes? no?
Three days ago, my kid talked me into going inside Carl’s Jr to get her chicken stars, (I hate fast food) so we’re standing in this insanely long line. I watched a man clean windows and then I complimented him on his style with a squeegie, then a woman in front of me line chatted me up and when a natural pause occurred I heard a man yell loudly, ‘excuse me, miss, can you tell me what time of day it is?’ I looked up bc my kid poked me and she was giggling. I looked up to see him staring at me, bag of food (garbage) in his hand…everyone else in Carl’s Jr looked at us, too. I said, ‘oh yes, it’s 12:30′ he still stares and finally says, ‘oh good, then I have time…’ Hmmm, ok. But, clearly he looked for my response so I said, ‘well, then, I’m glad you have the time…good for you’ and I shrugged at my kid. The man walked away and the whole line broke into laughter. Is that just weird or what?
…then Friday morning, an older man, an ex-body builder who now has a penchant for training blonds at Gold’s Gym, walked up to me and said, ‘Listen, I’m old and you know I am harmless, but I just wanted to tell you that I think you’re perfect and you make this old man wish for younger days.’ Then he leaned in and kissed me on the forehead. When he backed up he focused on my face, and said, ‘I’m going to tell you something from a 78 year old mans’ perspective, bc you notice and measure beauty differently. YOU don’t even need make up,’ (yeah, right, but I appreciate the thought) and then, ‘what color are your eyes?’ I laughed at that, ‘I know, they’re weirdly camouflage colored, huh?’
Then he totally dropped me. He said, ‘I wouldn’t say they’re weird, I would say they’re soulful’ – the only other person to ever say that was my father…
He told me to just have fun with my work out’s bc ‘you know that you need nothing changed.’
I just think it’s sweet that I can make an old man’s day…and he could totally make mine, too : )
I am curious though, does this kind of thing happen to any of you???
Dave, a two word comment about aliens? ‘It’s true.’ That’s it?! Would you care to elaborate? Please? Share a good story maybe…? I’ll be checking out your site later…
