tfw your future mother in law gives you a nod to her secret liquor stash at the family reunion but you've already brought your own (and she thinks you're smart)

Ftfy.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

This was a friend that I had mentioned in my journal in the Chum Bucket. When I first heard Ritchie Blackmore on Don Kirshners "Rock Concert" back in 1980, it was at his house. He was part of a drag racing/pro street family, and while we were watching the show that night, his Dad was building a Cushman motor right there in the living room. Over the years him and his brothers all had made names for themselves in the local circuits, so this is a shock to everyone and there are a lot of mixed emotions from a lot of people about this right now. Recently, he had been going through some personal problems along with a rocky relationship, so there's a lot of finger pointing going on, and it's really ****ing sad. I've dealt with many deaths over the years. This one feels like a piece of my childhood just died.

Oh man, I remember that entry! When you first heard Rainbow? God, somehow (and don't take this the wrong way) this makes it feel a little more personal, as if through you I knew the guy. Which I didn't of course. But it's just you mentioned him, so it's a little closer than it would be otherwise. Maybe you should (silly ideas copyright Trollheart MMXV) write a tribute song to your friendship? I dunno. Take care, man. I'm here if you need.

No worries. Might be a good idea since I may never have picked up a guitar if that moment never happened that he was huge part of. But, that seems a little egotistical to me. I don't know. Maybe I'm over thinking things.

Just play a little "Man on the Silver Mountain" and hoist a brew in his memory.

Funny you should say that. I've always hated playing that tune. Just about perfect.

TFW: You wake n bake and some how find yourself watching Bruce Jenners reality show...And on this show Kanye West appears and has to have an actual human conversation you know one not in Kanyeland and you come away thinking...dweeb.

Proof that marijuana is a gateway drug.

Whats mind bending is not that I actually sat through the whole thing, but that I really have no opinion on Jenner whatsoever.... More power to her whatever...Back to Kanye, kei kei kei dweeb.
