For some reason or the other, the movie Full Metal Jacket has been showing on my tv on a regular basis. \u00a0 The director of that all-time great war flick is Stanley Kubrick. \u00a0This dude has made some wicked good flicks, some weird flicks and some bad ass movies. \u00a0One of the weirdest movies that I have ever watched (numerous times) is Dr. Strangelove. \u00a0I love Slim Pickens riding the bomb. \u00a0James Earl Jones, George C. Scott, etc.<\/p>\n
I don’t know, something about Full Metal Jacket always ties me up inside. \u00a0It seems real. \u00a0And recently, it seems like it is really real.<\/p>\n
Got home from making rounds and picking up parts tonight and the favorite son was cooking himself a bacon & egg sammich. \u00a0He had Alexa playing tunes. \u00a0I asked, “What is that one?” \u00a0 He replied Shine Down.<\/p>\n
Dude, I like some of their stuff. \u00a0So, he said, “Alexa, play a bunch of Shine Down.” \u00a0DUDES, I did not realize how much of their stuff that I like. \u00a0Good, good tunes.<\/p>\n
Sunday morning, I got out of Mass and headed to the best grocery store in NW OK–Shattuck Venture. \u00a0 I gathered up some items (I went in there for Raisin Bran & bananas–came out with a cart load and headed towards the bananas (last thing on my list).<\/p>\n
Yes, the question is—Why did I have a list if it was just cereal & bananas? \u00a0This is why Tammy does NOT send me to the store.<\/p>\n
While there, I saw Tammy’s brother. \u00a0THE Todd Atha. \u00a0He was picking up some breakfast items. \u00a0Todd should hate me. But we have a lot in common. \u00a0We both married above our pay grade and raised kids that are really good humans. \u00a0I shit you not, we both (along with some strong maternal genetics) raised a pair of kids that are WAY better than the paternal genetics. \u00a0Damn good dude! \u00a0I was blessed with two brothers that are wicked good people. \u00a0This brother-in-law can hold his own with them.<\/p>\n
I would have spent more time bragging about Tammy’s brother, but she showed up as I was hitting the keyboard and handed me a hand-laminated thank you card from a kid. First year showman that gets it. \u00a0We are going to need a seatbelt for the next few years. \u00a0 Those of you that really know me, now know that there is a kid (not from Shattuck) that is getting ready to beat somebody in the coming years.<\/p>\n
It is the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
