Horse Brass again
This evening we convened at the Horse Brass once again for beer, food, and conversation. The smokiness is less noticeable than previously thought. Although I could just be getting used to it...This morning while at UG I talked with one of the customers, Chris for awhile. Later Macker and I were talking to him and I told him about getting together at Horse Brass...he met up with us.
Chris is a really nice guy, who is a great conversationalist. At the end of the evening I invited him over to sit at my end of the table to chat.(This was AFTER Ruth complimented my boobs in my sweater and told her betrothed to look! Silly, silly Ruth!) We talked like we had earlier in the day and I apologized for him not being able to read his paper in the morning because I interrupted him. The conversation went on to what I read in the paper, and then to Africa, and then to caring for humanity.
Chris is an attorney, I shared about having compasssion for people and giving to the less fortunate...he said he would give when he got his life together. I quoted Gahndi about being the change we want to see in the world, he said it was depressing to read in the paper and that media hypes it up. I partially agreed and then refuted by saying there is a bit of truth in everything it is just a matter of finding it. I talked about Bono, he said that he didn't respect guys who had millions of dollars and encouraged people to give when they could give more. I shared a bit about Bono's work with DATA, he said it seems like Bono skips around to different projects....
I reached across the table and said(sarcastically)..."you are going to have to leave if you don't like Bono."
He also hadn't seen any Adam Sandler movies that he liked...
Needless to say this person was the COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF ME and has made me realized that I am becoming a freaking hippie!
As I was talking it was as if I was becoming aware of my voice...I said a few times, "I know I sound like a total hippie..."
He did not get the whole caring for people thing....
So very interesting how different we as humans are.
