Oh.....here's something I just found out...... I went to the school/church where my mom is a teacher's aid, and helpped her collect the 4 small animals that we're watching while the school is on break. My dad was with us, and it was after I had just left the gym after my workout....I was in shorts and a sleeveless shirt. This school is housed in a church that is "open and affirming", meaning they openly welcome the GLBT community as members, but do not identify as a "gay" church, as they have a large number of straight members too.While we were picking up the animals, there was a guy in the parking lot loading stuff into his car. After we had been home, my mom comes to me and we have this convo:Mom: "I didn't want to say anything in front of your father, but did you see the guy in the parking lot?"Me: "Kinda. I saw him out of the corner of my eye. Why?"Mom: After you took out the first animal, and you turned to go back into the church, I got a look at him, I just felt he was gay. Then, he turned, and was reading the stickers on your car, the "brokeback" ones, and the rainbow ribbon."Me: "Okay, and...."Mom: "Well, when you came out with the next animal, he turned away. When you got to you car, he turned and was checking you out.....he went up and down you, had no idea I was watching."Me: Mom: "I had no idea how to tell you without being obvious, and I kept laughing and thinking to myself, 'Chuck is totally unaware of how he's being checked out'."Sooooo, I was checked out today, big time! Nice to be appreciated!
Okay, so after the gym tonight, I took a quick shower, and ran out to get my hair buzzed down.The woman who did my hair was hysterical! When I sat in the chair, "Damaged" by Danity Kane was playing on the radio, and I was singing along, this is what went down......Danity Kane - "Damaged" on radioMe: Oh, I love this song.HS (hair stylist): Well thank you! I wrote it.Me: You did?HS: Yes! Me: And your still working here?HS: Yes, hair is my passion! I told P. Diddy he could put his name on this song as in writer in my place. I don't need an award for it.Me: HS: It's true! It really is!Radio starts to play "4 Minutes" by Madonna & Justin:Me: I suppose you had a hand in this one too.HS: Sure did! In fact, I was the one who told Madonna she needed to work with Justin.Me: Really?HS: Yup. I said "Madonna, honey, you need to get the young market back.....snag Justin.Me: Radio starts to play "One Night Only" by Beyoncé:Me: I suppose you were involved in this....HS: Hell yes! Honey, lemme tell you, I am the real singer on this song. Beyoncé is lip synching to me!Me: No!HS: Yes! That bitch is taking my royalty checks!Me: you should be singing that Jennifer Hudson song.HS: I told her, you need to shake your head when you sing it! And I'm telling you, I'm not going.....HS: Ok baby, you're done!gave her an extra tip, and left laughing. I hadn't laughed like that in a while!
