sittin under a tree drinkin' corona
ch ch check 1-2
ok here we go
angie & i were talking yesterday or the day before and she brought to my attention that construction workers (she pointed out hispanic ones, but i'm purty damn sure that all workers qualify) always sit under a tree to eat their lunch. i had noticed that before, but never paid attention to detail. have you noticed that it doesn't matter if the tree provides any shade whatsoever, they will still sit under it. like it could be a twig, and they will sit under it. or beside it, rather. funny how we notice things like this. and catering trucks.
this subject reminded me of a happier day in my past when i went to the state fair of texas. yep. saw big tex. raised my beer to him. i went to see ragweed acoustic with my mom & dad (grandpa didn't want to go, it was sunday afternoon). we saw ragweed, very brief i might add, they were tired, it was only noon. oh and my friend zach & i had a beer, then mom & dad went to the dog show. i had bigger plans in mind, however.
being the music junkie i am, i made a beeline to the mainstage. rumor had it that EDDIE MONEY was playing. well, besides the fact that he SUCKS, he is also stuck in the 80s. i wasn't all "oooh, eddie money, gotta see him, he rocks". it was more like "dude...i gotta see this shit". so i did. when i said he was stuck in the 80s, i was not kidding. the dude sang a few songs (sucky ones) and then as proud as ever put up the rock & roll sign and exclaimed "i love the 80s MAAAAN!!!" what is funnier is that there were all these people that graduated in the late 80s and they were all like, in a stoned sounding voice, "hell yea, rock on dude, eddie money rules". i actually embarassed myself (big surprise?) because i busted out laughing so loud that people were looking at me. now i know you're asking "WHAT does this have to do with workers sitting under a tree?" well, not much. except that it was a beautiful summer day & i sat under a big tree with my corona for hours and watched all of this unfold. crazy shit i tell you.
ok, sorry for all the rambling. i am having a terrible week and wanted to take a trip back to a really happy day.
so, what else? well...the anniversary is upon us. saturday the 26th, to be exact. 6 years. good night nurse. we're going to jasper's for some booze & dinner and then i'm sure back to the house to crash by 10. you know keith, he parties like a rock star. his wife just lusts after them.
well that is all. its almost friday kids, put on your party hats.

THE ROYAL......WOW, what a blast from the past.....I'd give ANYTHING for a large Coca-Cola from THE ROYAL!!!! And NO Diet Shit either. We're talking a REAL COKE, calories and all, poured over the world-famous (at least Collin County famous) Royal Drive-In ICE!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, besides an ice-cold beer, there's nothing better on a hot summer day...or any day for that matter!!
Peace out homegirl,
