Last night, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable…out of my realm…unsure…kinda like I was waiting for something to happen.
Schmoop was at work; I had nothing meaningful to do, and well…the internet was void of anything exciting upon which to comment.
And then…
My brother Party Marty called (far right).
Marty didn’t have anything going on either…so we talked about crap we did when we were kids, and guess what? We laughed, and laughed out loud.
And, we talked and laughed for about forty-five minutes.
Let me tell ya…
As far as people here in Bagwine, Ohio, there are but two people who I open up to and leave a conversation out of breath because I have been laughing too loud and for too long…and that is my BFF Schmoop, and my brother, Party Marty.
I am happy…er…happy to exponitiate (it’s a word now)…that I am grateful that I am blessed with at least two people in my hometown that I can not only talk to, but visit via e-mail, phone, or in person, and any time I want to, share a laugh…or a hundred.
Y’know…sometimes we’re not totally unhappy…sometimes we’re not altogether sad…but, when we need a pick-me up of sorts, because we’re bored…Ol’ Party Marty, lead singer of The Dreamboats and friend of the IWS Radio Show, is the man.
He is as hilariously crude in private, and yet, he is reputable and thoughtful in public. I like that.
I’m not verbally cloistered like that by any means, but I enjoy a sense of brotherly love and pre-emptive laughter when I hear Marty begin a comment with…
“Matt…Let me tell you what I said the other day…but don’t repeat it.”
Ha. Schmoop is the same way.I admit…I am out there on this website and our radio show, and want to make a name for myself and IWS Radio, but Marty and Schmoop? They want to go through life calmly, nicely, yet anonymously. (And in my brother’s case…successfully, that bastard)
But anyhoo…
I have to admit, that if I had neither Marty or Schmoop by my side, I would be selling used pencils and erasers at the Beer Mine…
Conveniently located at the corner of Elmore and Burnett Rd, but instead…
Even though they want to go through life anonymously, those two keep me laughin', keep me motivated, and keep me trying to make them laugh, and I know if I can make them laugh...I can make otherwise normal people laugh.
Cheers!!
