I am a random thought...
So driving around all day with a Japanese guy that speaks very little English, one's mind wanders...
We listen to the radio the whole time and do not talk very much...I sing along with the songs(satellite radio is awesome), and he kinda dances along. We were listening to US-1 which is like the billboard top 100 station or something like that but there was this slow jam playing. Then I heard it....You know what's funny? Slow jams that have cuss words in it. To me, it just totally ruins the whole slow jam motif... I love you so much...blah blah blah, they way you make me feel...blah blah blah...I see my life in your eyes...blah blah blah, then they insert the f word...just plain old ridiculous I tell you. I was laughing and Ueda-san(that's my Japanese partner-in-crime) was probably thinking, "Man, this guy is insane." But yeah, slow f'in jams...what a trip.
I wonder how the common custom of a man placing his wallet in his back pocket came from. Why there? Because I was driving today, and I realized that driving for a long time with my wallet in my back pocket is kinda uncomfortable. My wallet is really thick so it's pretty rough sitting on it, not that it's full of money or anything, there's just a bunch of trash in there...mostly receipts that I just end up throwing away, so I don't even know what the point is. Anyway, I took it out and put it in my jacket pocket, and it was a lot better. But I think I put it there, well, I was conditioned to put it there, ha ha ha, but I also keep a whole crap load of things in my front pockets, so that is my best alternative, opposed to getting a purse...which I will not do...maybe a man-bag? Hmmm... So yeah, pockets in the back pocket...how did that start? And that's what they mean when they say someone got knocked on their wallet. Ha, I love when you find the origin of things. And then, is that how back pockets even came about? Speaking of wallets...I want one for x-mas...I don't know if I said that already, but I want only the one that folds in half...regular size, not the one that folds into 3 pieces like the one I have now, but also not the check size ones. I don't like the skater ones, I like leather...but I'm not hinting or anything, I swear. Some money in it would be nice too, ha ha ha.
I went to the mall after work today for a while to see if I could get some early x-mas shopping done, or at least get some ideas of what to get people. So what ends up happening? I end up walking out of the mall without a single idea for anyone on my wishlist, and a pair of shoes...
these shoes. Strictly for basketball though, but I like them alot. they're like my Pippens that I've used for oh so long. So much for that idea...gonna have to do lots of thinking over the next few weeks. I'm up for the challenge though, it's not really the shopping of the chrismas season that excites me, more like finding something I KNOW my friends will like. Something sentimental, something that's just them...not always 100% foolproof, but I try, and it IS the thought that counts.
It's getting late...I wanted to post up the pics that I've taken so far this weekend and other stuff, but I need some sleep. Plus it'd be better to post my jersey trip #3 pics AFTER the trip is done, n'est pas?
