i've never been able to explain myself around other adults.
i guess i never made that transition smoothly going from calling certain people mr. or mrs. (insert last name here) to the much easier (insert first name here, etc.)
i danced around this like most people who have trouble with names and just avoided addressing them at all.
for example: hey...you. or "buddy" or "pal" or even the occasionally rare "big guy"
although i never used "champ" or "bucko" those are just words i usually just don't say.
but this little problem has led to alot of wierd times for me in conversations. as we all know, i care very little about sports so that subject gets thrown out the window.
and the weather? well, that's always going to be around to talk about. it's a silly and obvious thing to discuss, but it's kind of like a default category. if ya got nothing going on in your head? talk about what's swirling around outside of it, temperature and precipitation.
let's face it it. i'm just a big kid who fell in love with movies, books and entertainment. there are others like me, ...but they still live with their moms.
until next time, rock on...er, buddy.
