An Interesting Conversation

I had with Anthony tonight while playing pool. He was telling me about his friend Tony and his wife (whose name I can't remember right now). They've been married for a few years now, and have 3 kids. One 6 year old, and two 1 year old twins. They've always had a great relationship, love each other, great parents, yada yada yada. But I guess the other day, his wife told Tony that she was gay. Well that was a shock. She just started to figure it out, but I guess it's always kind of been there in the back of her head. She was raised in a non homosexual friendly home, so I think that played part of her not knowing for sure until now. I think she's around 28 or so.

Anyways, what's interesting to me, is that she doesn't want to break up. She still loves Tony, she just isn't attracted to him. And she wants to keep a family together for the kids. Tony isn't quite sure what to think (obviously) but he isn't mad. He's accepting of her being gay, but doesn't know what to do. She did say she wouldn't mind if he went out and met someone, as could she. Then he got to thinking, could he bring a girl home and have a 3 some? Haha, gotta love guys finding out their wife is a lesbian.

I guess there isn't really a point to all of this. I just found it kind of weird that she wants to stay together even though she's gay. I guess we'll see what happens in time.

In other, fucking AWESOME news, I made myself a little purchase on ebay last week. Lars Frederiksen, one of the guitar players/singers for Rancid, and one of my musical heroes since I was 5 years old, put up for auction one of his shirts that he made, and a sweater he's owned since 91. So me being the Rancid fanatic that I am, bid. And won. I originally only bid on the sweater, because there was a lot of interest on the shirt early on. But a couple hours before it ended I put a bid on the shirt too, for shits and giggles. But what would you know, I won both. It's fucking awesome. I also got a picture of Lars with each one, and an autographed picture too. I was flipping out at work when I found out I won. Too cool! The sweater is too small for me, so I think I might frame that with the picture and autograph. But the shirt fits so I've been wearing that. But I don't want to wear it too much, so it doesn't get ruined.




And since I know you'll ask, google it and study up on your Norse mythology.

Towards the end of the video, you'll see Tim and Lars walking around a city, and Lars is wearing to sweater.



Well that's about it.

Hope you guys are well!
