PART I
Okay so I have NEVER been a guy who has ever really been good at remembering important dates. It’s just something I never really cared about. Yeah I remember birthdays of those close to me but I do have to write them down. It’s just who I am. But with Denise I remember things. I pay attention. If there are any “ex’s” out there that are reading this I appologize. I just never really looked at it that way.
I did care but just not about dates. However, with things have changed since I met Denise. I DO care. I remember the little things. Like how our first phone conversation was at midnight (3 a.m. her time) and she was a little tipsy. I only gave her 6 of the 7 numbers in my phone number and made her guess the last one. I remember that we danced to “Georgia” by Ray Charles the first night we met. I remember listening to Justin Timberlake with her while driving to Jacksonville for Ellie’s birthday.
I also remembered that the 30th is our anniversary. Yeah it’s cheesy, velveeta in fact, but I remembered. But for some reason it was a little different when I brought it up.
Here is my math: We made it OFFICIAL on the 30th of December. There are only 31 days in that month and SO our anniversary is always gonna be the day before the last day of the month. Some months don’t have a 30th so that’s the way I looked at it. I think she sees it “sort of” that way but not quite.
From talking to her about it (me being a lil bitch and sort of pissed and her explaining) she doesn’t really worry about dates. That’s fine. But this time around I finally do. I can’t MAKE her care about that but I guess she doesn’t look at it the way I do and that’s okay. Everyone sees things differently and I have to accept that. But this is how I am gonna be. I will always try my hardest to remember the dates. The first date. The first movie. The first kiss. The first fight. The first time I knew I was in love.
PART II
I purchased the new NIN DVD today and after waiting 4 whole months for it all I have to say is that it was WELL worth the wait.
But I do have some things that I was wondering while watching the DVD. They aren’t really things I am mad at or anything like that. They are just things that made me think about.
1 Why is there always some girl sitting on some dude’s shoulders? Seriously, do you really have to be up higher to enjoy the concert? I mean if you are 4′2″ you should have thought about that before you bought a ticket for STANDING ROOM ONLY!
2 What is with the whole holding up your cell phones when a slow, intimate song is playing? Doesn’t anyone carry a fucking lighter anymore? And aren’t you afraid of losing your phone and having it trampled on by about a million people that are pushing and shoving in the pit? Okay, great, you bought insurance. WOO Fuckin’ HOO! Pay the .75 cents for a BIC lighter. It’s okay if you lose it.
3 I love it when the crowd claps along in beat with the song. When they pull that off and keep in time is just amazing. Well, done “crowd” that was in the video. I tip my hat to you.
4 Back to the girl on the shoulders. If you MUST do this and get on the shoulders of someone please have the decency of dancing in beat of the song. Doing the “Elaine” from Seinfeld is not dancing. You need to stop it…IMMEDIATELY!
PART III
This Thursday I go in for my MRI for my knee. I am very scared about this. Not the whole process but what the outcome might be. I have seen improvement in my knee and that makes me happy but there are certain things that happen when I bend down, try to squat or even just getting up from sitting two hours in a movie that make it ache and sometimes even bring me to the floor almost in tears from the pain. All I ask is that you, my readers, think good thoughts for me on Thursday that everything comes out alright.
