I Don't Have Words To Say It, I Wish That You Could Feel It...

Duke Special - Mockingbird Wish Me Luck

I'm a fan of Duke Special. He's a baller. And he has a bomb haircut. I love white men with dreads. But not all his songs are like this one. Take this one for exampe. A totally different kind of song. So as usual, if you like him and would like more, let me know and I'll send it to you.

Speaking of which, I recently got my first ever request for the mp3 files themselves. I can't believe it was the first one, because I love all the songs I put up, so they're clearly great. But I mean, to each his own I suppose. But I'm right.


So let me tell you a little story. So a couple nights ago, at 2ish in the morning, I get a call from my friend. Her long-time boyfriend just broke up with her, and she's wondering if I'd come over. I get many a call like this, because I'm the guy friend, and it's my job. Plus, I keep a supply of Ben & Jerry's in my freezer for such occasions.

So I say yeah, I'll be right over, and I stop in the middle of working on a Stats project that's due the next day, because that's just what friends do, yes? So I put on my shoes and coat and bust over there. Now this girl lives 15 or 20 minutes away, so it takes me a little while to walk there, but I arrive, and she opens the door.

I say hey, and she promptly says this exact phrase to me: "I don't have time for half friends who come over out of pity. I only have time for real friends who come over because they care about me." She then slams the door.

What?!? I was in the middle of a big project that was due in a matter of hours, it's the middle of the night, and I walked over here in the cold. I care! And what makes her think I don't? All I said to her was "yeah, I'll be right over." That was the single sentence I said before we said goodbye and hung up.

So what happened in those 15 or 20 minutes while I was walking over. I mean, we had no contact with eachother. What could I have done? I honestly feel kind of bad. I mean, I seriously upset her somehow.

But I've never been called a half friend in my life prior to that night. And I don't like it. Come to think of it, I've never heard anyone use that phrase. It's a bullshit phrase. Half friend my ass.


So after discussing this with several people, the conclusion we've come to is that she was upset from the start, even when she called me, and apparently called me to come over purely to be a bitch. But again, I understand. They dated for a real real long time. She didn't really mean it. And I'm assuming that she's going to be calling me again soon for me to come over for real. I just acquired the Sex and the City movie, so I feel as if we're going to watch that. I'm going to make her watch it. Because I love it.


Oh, and after further discussion, we also decided that half of me that I have is my torso. I'm leg-free now.
