AND SHE WAS...

Could last night have been any more random. I THINK NOT...

Spent some much needed bonding time with NL. We talked about band names for a while. She confessed that 3/4 of her day is spent thinking of a name for her band. Pretty hilarious. We went to this weird place where you sit at a table with saloon doors closing it in. When you want to order something you press the service button and the waiter shows up to take your order. Kind of like your own private stable, if you will.

D met us- had some good convos. Went back to her house and played guitar and sang songs while D looked at us like we were retarded even though he toterly loved it.

I called a cab to drive me home and a lady showed up in a mini van. She was a big puerto rican woman in a crushed velvet evening gown. Day one of fall begins- I guess.. She was super energized and oddly happy. Suddenly she started shuffling her CD's, in her radio thingy. I found it funny that she had her cds loaded. This woman was a good 36 id say, prolly older. Next thing you know, she starts blasting SANTANAS- YOUVE GOT TO CHANGE YOUR EVIL WAYS and singing it really loud. Playing air drums and all. She picks up her phone and calls her son to remind him to wear his jersey for his game tomorrow. The song finally ends and she puts the song back on and screams "I need to play this song for someone" She then proceeded to sing it completely off tune into someones answering machine. At this point im hysterical laughing and texting D all about it. Suddenly, I looked up and she was batting her eyelashes at me and staring. The woman was flirting with me.

Heres the exchange...

ME- Holy hell, this cab driver is hitting on me- shes nuts- I just caught her staring at me.. Gd help me..

D- I knew she would actually lol.

I was completely perplexed- huh?? how would he even think of that?

ME- OMG shes beatboxing to SANTANA and cracking herself up

D- ask her what shes on and if you could have some..

Funny thing was, she didnt seem drunk, just certifiably insane. Only me, only me. I am convinced that I am living in my own private twilight zone most of the time.

C says that when he produces TV shows one day, hes going to give me one. I honestly do believe that cameras should follow me around for 2 days just to document the things that happen to me on a daily basis. Seriously people wouldnt believe their eyes. Or they just wouldnt care.. Whatever.

N kept talking about A A Bondy so I checked him out. Um yeah. Good stuff. Im kinda hooked on the song HOW WILL YOU MEET YOUR END. THERES A REASON is great too.. I think this man might have the newest sexiest voice. His lyrics are intimately blunt. Just straightforward honesty. So heartfelt and matter of fact at the same time. I always appreciate an artist that lets his music speak for itself without too much accompaniment. Sometimes too many instruments take can diminish and take away the actual beauty of a song. I actually like his whole album, AMERICAN HEARTS. His guitar playing is consistently pretty throughout and the harmonica addition is perfect. I love the sound of the harmonica.. Theres a noticeable religious presence in his music which I always find sweet as long as its done in moderation. I dont like preachy music- Im okay with the way he does it.

READ this great article about him from DAYTROTTER... Great writing, totally captures the essence.
