Weirdness. This is Gary Young singing “Plantman”. Enjoy.
I dislike his hair in this one, but love the song. It is “Nice Dream” from what I considered to be one of my favorite CD’s in the mid ’90’s - “The Bends” by Radiohead. I am in a mood and a little out of sorts, so . . . enjoy.
Well, I made it to and back from Piedmont, OK this weekend rather successfully. I only got lost a few times, so I think I did pretty well. Did I sleep well without my family? No, I did not. Did I have a good time and enjoy hanging out with one of my best buds from my school days? Yes, I did. I was going to mention her name here, but it turns out that her husband thinks I’m a little weird, and probably rightly so, so I don’t want to upset him in any way by putting up her name or his name here. I will just refer to her as “M” and him as “J” if need be.
Anywho, “M” and I talked a great deal about a great many things and it was almost like not much time at all had past since I hung out with her. She is pretty much the same as she has always been . . . head-strong, smart, and inquisitive about things. She has her hands full on a daily basis and I have no idea how she does it, but she is amazing and I look forward to seeing her again.
I think “J” finds me a bit “different”, but, then again, to be fair he doesn’t know me and I do find myself getting interested in strange things from time to time and that might be a bit off-putting to some. Am I perfect? Heck, no. But if my friends ever needed me or needed any kind of help that I could provide, I would be there. I like to help family whenever they need us, I love watching our nieces and nephews (at least I hope I get to watch the new baby soon), I like animals, and I like to learn new things. Not many people dislike me (though there are a few), because I tend to be very helpful, nice, and quiet, but, due to my anxiety disorder, sometimes I have a hard time and feel really awkward around people I don’t already know. Okay . . . enough of that.
Hope all is well in Piedmont today, tomorrow, and always. I’m glad to be back home, as I love my family to pieces and dislike being away from them, but I had a good visit and I would do it again. Have a great week, “M”!!
Also, a big “THANK YOU” to Dan and Pam for allowing is to use their lovely home this weekend!!
