Will, this is for you!
So last night while we were on the phone discussing my 4 hour marathon phone call with HP, which basically ended with me realizing I should be a MAC and not a PC, you mentioned me writing a blog for you. Of course I agreed as I do with most things you suggest me to do, but sadly I completely forgot the actual point behind the blog. I realize and understand for the most part blogs don't have points, but for some reason I feel like this one did and I feel like in the heat of the moment it was good one. Throughout the day I've sat at my desk staring at people, as I most often do, reviewing our conversation in my head, but for some reason I am only able to remember the conversation being had at the time the words, "you need to write a blog about that," were being uttered and nothing leading up to it. For a brief moment I even thought maybe that was the point of the blog, nothing- but then I only thought that about a minute ago when I finally gave in to the fact that I can't remember what we talked about. Perhaps one of those aforementioned statements came while we were talking about March Madness. Considering I was slightly engulfed in ESPN at the time of that conversation and rudely, partially listening (sorry), I have the idea you might have said it at that time. I also think it was brought up while you talked about the new logos now appearing on the NBA jerseys and when I first learned you know Spanish (slightly impressive). -For everyone else- Apparently the NBA has started putting the name of the team in Spanish on the jerseys. Well, the problem with this is it's not really in Spanish, it just has the word El before the team name...ie..El Bulls...hmmm?!?! Granted please keep in mind, I haven't seen this new diversification but I highly trust Will so I've taken his word for it. I noticed in the conversation and because we were actually having this conversation in the first place that this is a bothersome issue for Will. Basically his reason was the fact that putting El in front of an English word does not make it a Spanish word...totally understandable! He felt as though children will start running around saying El in front of words as if they were speaking Spanish. Naturally we had to remark the fact that just about every comedian in the world and many everyday people have made the passing joke of doing just this when pretending to speak Spanish- perhaps politically incorrect, but admittedly sometimes funny. I've come to the conclusion that frequently our conversations involve New York (imagine that), Memphis being Memphis...oh and which I've recently learned is also very country-ghetto; therefore has it's own vocabulary- ie..safetivity...yeah go look that one up. However an alarming fact came up during our conversation and that was that Will has NEVER seen the Godfather! Okay maybe it is just me that has seen that movie about 4.8 million times and will continue to watch each and every time it comes on AMC, but I have never met anyone who has never seen that movie. For about 2-3 minutes I was speechless and unable to formulate a complete sentence. I hate that I've forgotten our blog topic, but now in hindsight I'm wondering if this might have been a test to see if I would remember today or just so I could forget and Will can have bragging rights for the moment. At the same time, I also wonder if our blog topic was personal and in that being the case something I wouldn't write about out of shire respect considering aside from me all the people Will and I normally talk about are the psycho females he finds himself occasionally intertwined with. Granted they are respectfully nicknamed after their residing state, as we discussed I am still fearful of one of them hunting us down one day and shanking me out of a jealous rage. At any account, I am sorry I've forgotten our topic, but I hope this one will at least make you laugh for the time being!!!
