It’s Not About Me
Posted: October 22, 2012 Filed under: Drivel 17 Commentsas i prepare for the long drive back to Jax, i was sitting at the comeback inn waiting for my muffelatta to be up and i sat thinking to myself how this trip was a wash. i didn’t do shi….let me rephrase that.
i didn’t do 90% of the thing’s i’d planned on. i missed both family reunions (LOOOOOONG story), didn’t get to hit up HOS, and didn’t even really see any of my friends. but then i realized something.
i didn’t come out here to REALLY do that. i came out here to spend time with Paw-Paw (he’s 89 btw, and is starting to look/feel it). we hung out, drank beers, i took him to the Quarter. we SWORE we were going to have ONE drink, and had 2 rounds bought for us. when we walked back to the car, i had received a ticket. lol. we ate at parasol’s in the irish channel, we watched baseball, talked, made jokes-
and got VERY sick. both of us have been out of commission since friday. hell, last night was the first time i actually slept and ate. he’s still battling over it though. good thing mom will be back tomorrow morning.
as i sat back i realized- this trip WASN’T a wash. me and paw-paw will remember this trip for a long time. he’s resting right now, so i decided to post this. but much like the blog, my visits to NO aren’t for me. sure, i enjoy them. but i primarily come out here to visit Paw-Paw. Lord knows he hasn’t got too much time left.
the blog, while cathartic, is mostly for the readers. i can’t wax philosophically like Badger, Mentu, Ashur, Privateman, etc. but if i decided to close shop tomorrow, my life wouldn’t change a bit. i’d STILL do just fine with women. i only care to share my experience with those that could stand to learn a thing or two about the fairer sex. i simply try to give a grassroots POV to the SMP as i experience it. so this blog is really for the readers, not me. it still blows me away to have as many female readers as i do. who’da thunk it? AMIRITE!!!
thanks to all the “lurkers” who commented recently. it meant a lot to me. i’ve read why us bloggers care about comments- well…….it’s encourages us to keep blogging. GOD KNOW’S i don’t want this turn turn into discussions of Tia or Dal proportions. but every once in a while it’s good to see a new faces here. so again…thanks. and-
stay up.

Yeah, I could just eat him!
See Danny.. look how i setcha up!
Call me Iceman… i’ll be YOUR wingman anyday! 🙂
OMG. Now that would be something to see: the two of you picking up chicks. That would make great television. I’d love to watch that!
Hey stranger things have happened. If the Kardashians could do it, we could make a reality TV show too lol
I feel the need…
Carolina is a good girl. Lol. I’d get pervy, but she’s married.
Family is important, more important than you realize until you don’t have any. Remember this.
Dude, of course. I have zero regrets about this trip. Aside from the pinche chorros, it was great.

It’s not about what you didn’t do, it’s about what you *did* do. It sounds like you had a great time anyway, sickness notwithstanding.
Besides, you got sick. Sometimes that stuff can’t be helped.
Troof.
And I didn’t get sick….WE got sick. Lol. My uncle came over to visit and all 3 of us were laughing about it. Oh the “shit” jokes that ensued.
He’s asleep right now and Brody is racked out right next to him. Should’ve taken a picture.
