Whoa
Good morning
Just a quick note
G and I are playing Buster’s tonight

Saw McClure at Longhorns last Thursday
Linville opened
Dusty was there, among others

I got Wade Bowen’s latest CD
Filled with superstition and pop country
Lookout Nashville

Gotta scoot

People clear nearly off the sidewalk as I approach. Phones come out with fake calls and suddenly the concrete sidewalk has the attention holding power. Others rummage in their purse, hide behind mirrored sunglasses, and manipulate their Mp3 players to look busy.

"Good afternoon"

My greeting is once again not returned.

"How are you doing today?"

Silence.

I try for the time honored "hello" but still nothing.

Yet I am ‘that guy.’ The guy that seems to be having too good of a time to be on campus. The guy without inhibitions to speak to every single person I meet. Maybe that is weird. Maybe it is because I am the overweight, scratch that, fat guy. Maybe it is because my head is bald.

Maybe when you snubbed me yesterday, you didn’t mean to. Maybe you will see me again in class as your teacher. Maybe then you will say hi.

Until then I will just be ‘that guy.’

I saw that Mason posted so I decided I better say something.

Something.

You rock man!

Is your other band playing anytime soon?

Do I get to play with you again soon? We should, gasp, practice sometime. How long has it been now?

Well, it’s been a hell of a long time since I’ve posted anything and I apologize. School is really swamping me this semester, I guess that means that I’m learning something… right? Things are going well however, just don’t have time for much else. I’m hoping to see both G and Aaron sometime soon though, I really miss playing with you guys. Well I don’t have too long as I am working so I’ll try to update this more often now.
