What happened today ?

Chris called me in the afternoon and we went out to eat. Then he said we are going to the RODEO, so that surprised me !

We got there and, well, there was no-one there. We finally saw some people unloading longhorn steers but they gave us an odd look. We walked around checking out things for about a half hour, still no people and it was really quiet. Finally Chris looked at his schedule and determined that we were there a week early. So - well, okay, and we looked around anyways.

I took a few photos of statues and tile-paintings but that was about it. He said we'll go proper next week.

Then we went to his place and watched the amazing Ashers movie. And it really was pretty good, I give it 4-stars (I'll review 10-more movies this Tuesday, you can find the current selection I've done so far HERE). I'll add my review of this very unique film then too.

Then we watched some good old Doctor Who with my favorite Dr, Jon Pertwee. He always was kindly. I wish he was my grandfather.

Anyways, finished that up, borrowed Chris's, "The Host" (the Korean one, not the English one) so I can run some experiments on it, did a bit of frivolous shopping and back home again.

Tomorrow (Monday) I'll post the first chapter to Barrier, a mega-major science-fiction comedy novel series of mine, and - oh yes - a new Monday's Wit & Wisdom which seems to be pretty popular now. :)

And yes, every time you see a new page in here, it means I've logged out for the day and am headed for bed (or am working towards it).

You ever make fun of someone so much that you think you
should thank them for all the good times you’ve had ?

Hehe. I had to re-read this question to understand it.
I guess I do have an example of this, thinking about it...
There's a particular manager at work who just doesn't get sarcasm at all. It's quite fun to throw the odd comment out there.

I'm pretty sure if Chris couldn't tease or trick me anymore like he does, he would soon tire of me. I know that's not the best basis for a friendship - but I watched a Family Guy episode today, not sure if they name them or anything.

But the girl who wears the hat, she said, perhaps I need to be the lightning rod in this family in order to keep it together. She was talking to the dog at the time. At that point watching the episode - a good deal of my life seemed to make sense then.

I think I've made an exceptional lightning rod in the past from many different jibes and barbs from bullies and - well, maybe that was something good for me, so other people wouldn't get it cause I was the target.

And because I'm sorta used to it, they would do less damage on me than others.

Anyways, Family Guy really surprised me. Usually they are just silly or rude but that one episode truly impacted and hit home ...

I honestly can't think of anyone I've ever made fun of myself, not really - but Chris, I think he could honestly say THANK YOU to me for all the good times he's had making fun of me. And - that's fine. If you never get hurt, you never learn. :)
