A meeting with Dad.
3 Months.....since i've seen my Dad. I've been so busy with work and gigz and stuff that I just can't seem to find the time to go home anymore. Today waz a different day though, he came to visit me after work, and I am super dee duper excited and stoked, but of course I don't show it, and I just play it cool when he arrivez. In hiz handz are some of my mail, and 2 "Jack Daniels holding containers", you'd have to see them to know what I'm talking about, but still he knows it's my favorite drink and I love the gift. Since my microwave is broken, and being the Dad that he iz and would rather fix it than take it back he bringz a screw driver to take it appart and see what the matter iz. Classic! Soon we are on our way to get dinner and a few drinks and he tells me about what haz been happening in hiz life since I've last seen him. Now my Dad iz a Hi-Fi nut, (Randy you know what I am talking about.) and az we eat dinner and down a couple beerz, like a kid in a candy store he tells me all about this new sound board he saw at a church conference a while back, he explains to me all the knobz, settingz, USB,Wireless, crazy controls and thingz you can do with this sound board that makes it so amazing hiz eyez light up like Christmas, then I tell him a bit about what I have been doing and my plans. We talk and talk and talk, about everything from the latest cars to women and he az alwayz givez me valuable advice about mine. (Thanks pop) Suddenly we start to talk about music......Uh Oh....better bring out my pad and pen to take notes, cuz when my dad talks about music, especialy Jazz music, that means school iz in session and I have to listen and make sure I'm up to date to keep up with him, I alwayz love it because he alwayz bringz out something new to tell me, and I am amazed that he knowz so much from so far back, I learned about 4 new playerz that I now have to go out and get just so I can try to beat him next time, but how can I? he'z the one teaching me. "sigh"! Anywayz after a few new tidbits of musical knowledge to digest, we get into some heavy talk, you know the kind, about Me and......well....future stuff, and just az alwayz, from when I waz 10 yrz old with my first crush and didn't know what to do about it, my dad doez the same thing when It comez to the subject of love.......he reaches out,..... sips hiz beer,..... looks away, nodz hiz head,... sayz.."MmHmm", and sips some more, all the while trying not to show any emotion az hiz eyez get kinda red, and changez the subject to something completely unrelated, I don't know if he'll ever talk about that kinda stuff too deeply with me, but you know what..... I FUCKIN LOVE IT, Cuz that's my Dad, Every time the same, and I don't want him to change, he'z the best, there'z no other. We order 2 more beerz finish our meal and head home, az he drops me off he makes sure I have everything, we touch fists, and give eachother a manly pat on the back. "Nuf Said". See ya next time dad, when we can find the time that iz.
