True story..

I’m living in a motel, in the Okanogan Valley, of BC, Canada.

The neighbours change every couple of days. Friday night, a couple checked in for the weekend.
As I usually spend several hours on the stoop outside of my room everyday.. (Reading what’s going on in here. Watching, or reading about history. Watching Rock and Roll videos, smoking, ect).

You have to enjoy the summer while it’s here. It doesn’t last very long in Canada.

I always greet the new people with a friendly welcome.
The guy, and I talked for a bit outside Saturday night. They seemed like a cool couple, imo. Yesterday morning as they were loading up to check out. The guy was wearing a “WARRIORS” t-shirt.

I told him I’d never seen one in RL before. And that I thought it was cool, AF. I said, “I love that movie. When I first saw it in 1979..”

He said “but it came out in 1972”. I said. No.. it was 1979.

I knew 100% that I was right.

He said.. “Google it”. I said.. OK.

But I didn’t. lol,

I KNEW I had him. But I didn’t want to embarrass him. I was 14 years old, when we first saw it at a drive in. There was my brother. He was 16, and owned his own car.. his gf. And my gf, and I occupied the backseat.

I looked at my phone again. And he said, again.. Google it. So I said.. “Yeah, okay, I’ll Google it, then”

I showed him..

Yes, it was released in 1979.

The regs in the Heavies, know my affinity for that movie. I showed him a couple of pics from my first trip to NYC. I’ve posted them in here, as well. I had a bucket list, for NYC. (as it pertained to that movie). In the subway to Coney, Coney, itself, etc.

I proved him wrong, but took no pleasure in it. I just told him, it’s easy to get years mixed up (lol.. Not for me).
A few minutes later. After we had both gone inside for a couple of minutes. While he was still loading up their car.
He says..

“Don’t say I never did anything for you”.

He tossed me a small black bundle. It was inside out. But when I caught it.. I knew instantly what it was.

I said, “NO WAY, man!” “This is fucking awesome”. And I gave him a hug.

I don’t use the word “karma”. I call it “Cosmic Justice”.

But, I donate to certain charities, or give the pan-handlers a loonie, or two. When I have change. I never really expect anything in return though.

But when it does happen.

It can be COOL AS FUCK, imo.

I dont get why that shirt would be rare?
 
Did you come out and play?

So the black bundle wasn't free drugs?
 
Yeah, sorry.

Did you literally just make a post to demean me? Because of my appearance?

Yeah, I’m sorry.. @Brom Bones

If you think I’m ugly..

July 1985..

I was in an horrific car accident in 1985, that the Doctors said I wouldn’t survive. I only learned that a couple of weeks later.

After breaking 97% of the bones in my face. And 15 major surgeries, later. You actually just posted that I’m ugly?

I literally also lost 90% of my hearing, as well. I’m clinically deaf, now.

This is what I look like now.

But some fucking loser, on the backside of a Karate message board. Says that I’m ugly?

Trust me.. I’ve seen places, done things, and every gf I’ve had since then says I’m not ugly.

Ask Courtney Love..

At Edge Fest 1999, in Edmonton. I was suggesting a couple of small changes (using reverb in a particular way). To the guys doing the early sound (we were friends. And had taken a Studio recording sound class together). I gave them a couple of minor changes.

Then I had to pee.

I was backstage at (Commonwealth Stadium) trying to find the bathroom.

I found it, and took one of those 45-60 second pisses. You know what I mean. Then I washed my hands, and left the bathroom.

It was a short hallway we were in. And as we were walking towards eachother..

About 15’ feet apart.. Courtney Love fucking flashed me. I wasn’t expecting that. All I could think of to say was..

“Nice”.

I mean they were silicone, right? But lovely, all the same..

Next month, I’m going to Greece, Italy, France, and Morocco. On a Mediterranean cruise.

I’m curious.. What do you have planned?
 
Maybe I misread but the fella threw you heroin after you proved him incorrect about the release date of The Warriors?

You aren't ugly you kinda look like me but less fat less beard and less gray and white hair.

I am really chatty with folks I meet and have had all kinds of cool experiences like that where I end up trading trinkets or hats or give away an old band shirt. Ya never know who you'll meet when you are out in the world.
 
I met a guy named Josh in the loony bin. He was a cool guy, don't know what his deal was but he had this bad ass Samurai T-shirt and I loved it. I had a dumb Gap sweater that I didn't like but I think he was really poor and just saw it as a quality garment so we traded. The t shirt was definitely cooler. That was 25 years ago, I've still got the shirt. Maybe pull up a pic if I can go find it.
 
I once traded my Batman t-shirt for this

with a dude who was wearing it at a jobsite LOL
 
Yes, I might be ugly to some people. But, I think most people would say I’m not fugly. And in 50000 views. There wasn’t a single person that said I ugly.

I don’t give a shit.

On YouTube I gain comments for my drumming.

It was not easy. But I kept playing anyway..

Remember the part where I started, and then I QUIT?

Mostly jus a deaf asshole Of course?

I didn’t expect to post anything. But I put myself out there.

It’s easy to ridicule.
