Sparks...

The Song:
Sparks by: Cold Play
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Coldplay is like catnip for women.  Anything that Chris Martin is singing, I'm playing on my iPod.  There has never been a Coldplay song I haven't enjoyed.  It's not quite the kind of music you can rock out to in your car, or blast at your tailgate/BBQ.  But it's always been the music I play while on the train, or during a flight, or even on a Saturday morning when I'm making breakfast.  It's great "Chill the Fuck Out" music :)



The Date:
Sparky McRedneck
So I "dated" a guy in a wheel chair once... I put the word "dated" in quotes b/c I later found out he was engaged.  But that's another story for another time.   People always ask "why was he in a wheel chair?" and look at me with that awkward look and furrowed brows... ok he wasn't mentally retarded (in the literal sense, figuratively: he was a complete retard), he was in a bike accident and was paralyzed, but I digress...

One weekend we decided to head down the shore to his house.  He picked me up and when I got in the car there was three full McDonalds bags.  I looked at him and said "What did you get the whole freakin left side of the menu?"  He said "umm basically".   Ok great, so me and Chubby Checkers are drivin down the shore, and we're not even THREE SECONDS passed through the EZ Pass Toll Plaza and he whips out his bowl and says "You want some, darlin?"  Now, maybe 5 years ago I would have been a little less paranoid, but no such luck now of days.  I said to him "HEY, Cheech... there are state troopers wallpapered all over this highway, you wanna put that shit away for say like when we get to your house?"  Well he wasn't listening and I soon figured out he wasn't hungry at the time he bought the McDonalds, he was just coming prepared and thought ahead.

I have to say that I was a little impressed that he thought that far in advance, he bought the munchies first.  Good thinkin, now you don't have to stop at Farley's on the way and make me get out and go in so you don't have to wheel yourself around all high taking everything they have at the KFC and BK stands... thanks for saving me the trip.

He finishes he's little smoke and eats EVERYTHING he bought at Micky D's - nothing like a cold Big Mac.  I said to him "aren't you nervous you'll get pulled over seeing as how you drive with your hands and smoking while driving is a little extra difficult for you?"  His exact reply, no joke... "Nah, i'm not worried my windows are tinted dark for a reason and besides even if they do pull me over the little wheely guy on my license plate always pulls a few extra sympathy points for ya man".  I should have known at that point he was a douche bag.

Cut to today - he's now married... she's a lucky lady. HA!
