Roebuck...GOTH? Huh?
Explain later. I am taking on more and more of my late Dad's personality as I mature (read that, grow older.) Dad never met a stranger and he used to embarrass me introducing me to people he'd just met. His heart was in the right place. For some unknown reason, Dad was proud of me. My parents were never less than supportive of anything I was involved with.
Tonight, I met a delightful brunette (actually black-haired...even BETTER, but MARRIED, boo!) Her name is Erika and she told me there's a guy in the neighboring town of Cary (Concentrated Area of Relocated Yankees) who looked "just like me" but that my eyes are more intense.
I'm always interested in getting peoples' reactions to me.
I had been listening to a local band with friends. The band actually did some material I can relate too, such as Hendrix' treatment of Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower." Got some ideas of songs I'd like to have in our upcoming band.
Earlier tonight at a karaoke venue, an employee said people keep asking her if I own Locked & Loaded. My answer was a bit vague, in that I replied, "Well, I've certainly INVESTED in it!"
I said that only because of the lunches and dinners I've consumed there. They have a killer menu/ I have never not enjoyed a meal there.
As I was exiting, the bouncer was "keeping an eye" on two cute little blondes. (He must LOVE his job) One said, "You remind me of what I imagine Goliath, in the Bible must have looked like!"
Immediately I said, "I'm not sure I know how to take that, because I wind up getting my head cut off!" I did a little one-act play, scorning little David and saying, "You send this little pipsqueek to fight ME!?"
The little blonde said, "Well, at least you know your Bible!"
I said, "Yeah, I need to stick my nose back in it a little more than I have lately." It was a nice little exchange. So, by now, you may be saying, "So Roebuck, where does the 'Goth' reference come from?" David's opponent was known as Goliath of GOTH!
