Paul turned to me and said, "You play guitar?" and I was like, "Yeah," and he was like, "Cool," and there I was playing on stage with my hero. Sir Paul McCartney was singing "Hey Jude," close enough for me to hug him or punch him, or do what I did, which was dumbly strum along, with President Clinton smiling from the wings. (Of course, that pun was totally intended.) Ten minutes later, my novel was finished, cancer didn't exist anymore, and your favorite hot actress was texting me emoticons. The hand of God had clapped, and I liked it, better than even your mom, whom I loved.
Sadly, I knew, the moment was fleeting, and the bitter wind of destiny would blow me on my course, a path beset with hungry wolves and other scary metaphors -- and long and winding run-on sentences, probably ungrammatical. I thought of my youth, and I thought of my sled, and "Rosebed" fell from my lips like a loogie.
Being the Greatest Man was a curse...
Who I'd like to meet:
1) Editors, producers, managers, agents...
2) The founding member of my fan club.
3) Dope emcees who spit hot fire.
4) The Kirsten Dunst character from Elizabethtown.
wow my last comment is so pathetic! 4 pages?! Are you kidding me? anyways i thought it was time to send you a new comment. how's life man? Mines ok i guess. I got xbox 360 and you should come over and play it.
Dude, I just heard about the city council shooting in your hometown. (I suspect ((and hopefully I'm right)) that your family is all fine..??..) Crazy. A few months ago, in Salina, a school board member (whose wife was a teacher) threatened to 'go all Columbine' at his child's school. Small town America. Wow.
On a more pleasant note: When I got home yesterday there was a package for Seth. My curiosity was peaked, but I had to wait until I had returned from the gym/he'd gotten home from work to revel in the surprise. The purchase (which I know you'll appreciate)? A freakin' t-shirt with a picture of Whiplash doing what he does best - riding some dog. It's all, like, artsy, complete with a faded image of Whiplash, sure to make him seem like the ultimate badass cowboy-esque figure. I'm sure you'd heartily approve.
Matt, pray tell, what's going on in this photo? Reading or magic? (Or, are you showing us that reading IS magical?)
ps I've got two jazz cds done, but I want to do one more bf I send them off. (No, I'm not making this up to save face, I really do have two made. Ironically, I got the Oscar Peterson part finished - then he died.)
Considering the fact that the last time I saw you was in 2005, please describe to me in full detail how the Matthew Webber of 2008 fares in comparison. We don't talk enough. Every time I drive by Kohl's, I think of you.
