So yesterday at work, I was filing away some work orders and I had to write down the date. I found myself, every singe time on every single work order, having to deliberately write in “Aug” as I was feeling myself about to write “Oct”…

Weird. And some of you already know what happened to me last October. Two more months to go.

*** Yeah, I was supposed to have posted this two weeks ago.  Still have another entry I need to hurry up and post.  This week just got a little crazy, just a LITTLE!  Stay tuned for THAT! ***
Well, I guess I should get rolling on this, eh?

It’s been about a week since Tony Snow was buried and while I didn’t personally know him, he was a good example and character for a lot of us.

Back when he had a radio show about three or so years ago, I won a contest that would allow me to attend an event in which he came down to Dallas.  I didn’t know who he was at that time, but Wayne assured me that I would really enjoy his presence.

At this time, I was just warming up to that weird psychopath Glenn, lol.  So figured I’d take some time in the evening to hear him out.  With that, I was looking forward to seeing him that day he came down here.  He had just recovered from surgery of his cancer, I believe colon at that time, so it was an epic moment in his life.

Later, he accepted to job has White House press secretary and I think that at a moment of bad political rap in the White House, this was probably a great thing.  Not that the White House didn’t deserve some condemnation…it sure did.  However, many of the condemnations were retarded as well.  If you’re not thinking for yourself and just lapping up the news left and right…well…

It’s too bad, he was a good example of character that is missed a lot nowadays.

Also running about a week ago was Glenn’s stage show.  That was his show running in Dallas, broadcast to hundreds of movie theaters nationwide.

Also, as the time drew nearer, it was revealed that our Governer, Rick Perry, would also be in attendance.  I also had a feeling that our Texas SEAL hero, Marcus Luttrell, would be in attendance.

Professional security officers were found very shortly upon entry to the Majestic Theater…but for who, I wasn’t sure.  I was never really sure what security arrangements the Governor had.

What was really funny is that Tony, Christine and I had parked at one of the parking garages and, being early, decided to hang out and just look out from our elevated spot.  While taking in the surroundings and making small talk, I was observing the parking lot across the street from us.

What caught my eye was an SUV that was backing up into a parking spot…two parking spots.  I joked with Tony that I need a loudspeaker right now and I’d be a Parking Nazi and whoever was driving this SUV would be the first to face my wrath.

The driver of the SUV did drive out of the spot, obvious that they weren’t quite lined up, but they were still taking up two spots.  The driver got out, with cellphone attached to his head.  “Oh, even better!” I thought in my head.  I really need that loudspea…

My mind and mouth thought/said in unison, “…is that Marcus Luttrell?!?”

Tony didn’t really think so…yet.  I brought Christine out and she kind of glanced over.  The driver still saw he was not lined up and jumped back in and tried parking yet again, this time centering up nicely.

He got out again and we all stared intently.  At this time we noticed another tell tale sign and confirmed it was Marcus Luttrell…walking with two females (one I’d later find out would be his Mom)…with a pitchfork in his hand!

Those of you that are not Sick Twisted Freaks, Glenn’s been calling for pitchforks and torches which he’ll put in his TV show studio.  Later, he talks about how he received 10 pitchforks in Dallas…and only 10, because by then Rick Perry’s security detail was starting to get concerned with all the pitchforks and began rejecting them.

Glenn’s starting to receive them by mail now as well!

What can I say, the show was OUTSTANDING!  The feedback I’ve gotten from friends who have watched it as well has been extremely positive as well.  I’m glad to have been a part of the show, as my friends have also.  Good news to some of you that didn’t get to see it, it is obviously coming out on DVD…so standing by for that!

Oh!  His Christmas Show is now out on DVD and I strongly recommend that you get that!  I really loved seeing his Christmas show two years ago.

Well…I had to go ahead and post this and get it done.  Don’t quite remember if there was anything else I needed to post.

I have something for this past weekend…but that can wait for the next post, I needed to get this one done first!
