I'm feeling a bit nervous. Tomorrow is Robert's memorial service... I have so much I want to say and yet, I don't know what to say...
I'm too easily distracted today... for example, I received this in an email today... and it's just so wrong on so many levels... but I can't help myself...
It's called, "Dating Tip"...
I met a girl in the park the other evening...There was an instant spark between us and she fell at my feet... and as we laid there on the ground making love, I thought to myself...
"These taser guns are well worth the money..."
I know... I know... it's wrong in SO many ways...
______________
I was cruising videos and found this... I had forgotten what a wonderful song this was... and how sensual it is...
I've read that Chris Isaak kept experiencing 'difficulties' during the taping of certain scenes of this video, and he would have to excuse himself and go take care of the problem...
____________
So, Liam Larry and I go to lunch today... Liam Larry is SUCH a fuck-up... As I've said before, he's extremely brilliant, yet in social settings, he's a time bomb...
Sitting across from us was a married couple from the university, who... just a few months ago, she caught her husband screwing a colleague at THEIR own home... needless to say, sparks DID fly... Much to their credit, they are trying to work the problems out...
... so Liam Larry turns and looks over at them, and he tells her, "you are looking VERY nice today..." She seemed to blush and she thanked him... and then Liam Larry asked...
"Are you dating other men yet?"
It got VERY uncomfortable...
Sometimes, Larry just doesn't think...
_______________
So then I get THIS email... and it says...
i don't know why (and this could be your influence on me) but I feel like one is checking out the others ass.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am I THAT corrupting?? Am I that... ummm... lewd???
Maybe so...
_______________
So, I'm thinking... this may be a great example of how I hide behind humor sometimes... I am really struggling with the words for tomorrow...
~shoes~
nah... i don't think you're that lewd.... i'm betting the sender was just thinking about your ass? and the checking out of your ass? just a guess...
ReplyDeletethe words will come to you... they are there in your heart - just give them wings...
and i will be sending ALL of my hugs to you tomorrow.

I am going to skip over all of the lewd and say that I love the song Wicked Game. One of my all-time favorites. Actually that entire record is really good. Most of the music on that record was recorded in a minor key, so it all had that haunting sound to it. The whole thing flowed. Makes me want to pull it out and listen to it, now that you mention it...
ReplyDeleteYou're the best, Shoes.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking about you (and Robert) tomorrow.
@ Gobbles... yeah, tomorrow will happen ok... I just want to be sure that I say the right things... the right words... he was such a good friend.
ReplyDelete@ Robin...Yeah, isn't that song great? I like songs in minor keys... something about that flatted third really makes a big difference in the sound. The other evening, I was showing a friend how many people play 'For Your Love' by the Yardbirds incorrectly... the chords go from Em to G to A to Am... and so many don't hear that half step change from A to Am...
I need to listen to that entire recording. I like Chris Isaak.. he always has the best bands...
~shoes~
@ Jessica... thank you, I so appreciate your thoughts...
ReplyDelete~shoes~
Oh Shoes, the words will come. You'll pour your heart out and into these words.
ReplyDeleteAbout the joke:
ReplyDeleteI met him in the park one dark and cloudy evening last week. There was an instant spark between us and he fell to the ground at my feet. As we lay there on the ground I got on top riding him like a pony and thought to myself, these taser guns are quite a lot more fun than a vibrator.
The music video: That's one I just loved when it was new. Today he's be bare chested and she's be in a thong and her breasts would be artificial. I wonder what her reaction was. Did she go somewhere and use a guy?
I love what Larry said! Her cheating husband needed to realize he wasn't the only one who could "find a date!"
About your comments on your friend Robert, say less than you want to say and more than you think you can.
Oh Shoesies....... we love your lewdness, or at least I do. Loved the tazer joke, perhaps wrong but very funny.
ReplyDeleteI also do what you do and hide "real" things I need to deal with behind humor. It is sort of like behind every bit of sarcasm is a shred of truth.
I have no doubt you will do a great job in honoring the memory of your friend, Robert. Your good intentions will not go wrong. I'll be thinking of you.
I used to have such a thing for Chris Isaak when I was in my late teens, and it was all because of that song!
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes okay at Robert's memorial. I'm sure you'll be able to find the right words.

Stop thinking about and/or thinking about writing about clowns and you'll be able to find the perfect words for the memorial. Clown thought, pictures and anything to do with clowns rot your brain. Stay far away from clowns.
ReplyDeleteChris Isaak is sooooo sexy! He never thinks about clowns.
Love that taser comment. Sick but hysterical. I have a taser in case I run into any clowns.
You seem NORMAL to me, But LARRY - That guy's got BALLS OF STEEL, LMAO !!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that is funny...Just talk about what is in your heart...It will flow
ReplyDeletethe words will come. i have faith in you. thinking of you...
ReplyDeleteI think Larry is the physical manifestation of our inside voices.
ReplyDeleteThinking about you today!
