Well, it's the end of September...already. Time has flown by so fast. Just the other day I was on a flight to Arkansas...which just amazes me that that was July 19th that happened. My where does time go? When I was talking to Tory that night he had mentioned something that made me speechless beyond belief. Can you imagine?? ME...SPEECHLESS??!! Well, yeah I was. He said something about going to Disney World when he was 11 yrs old...and then he mentioned the year he was 11...which was 1994!!! What the FUCK!! 1994??!!! I was at Disney world too in 1994 but I was attending Grad Nite getting high in the Haunted Mansion Ride. Also...on the other end of 1994 I was starting college at Clemson...once again getting High...but this time in my dorm room.

"Come on Dad, this is stupid. You're going to fall into the Bar-B-Q
~Mox, Varsity Blues
So I threw a going away party for Ernie. It was great. A lot of people showed up. It was the strangest mix of people. People from work...people from the hotel...people from Doggie Daycare. Everyone was there. A reporter showed up and a photographer. And get this...we made the local news. How awesome is that!!!

If that doesn't work just go on nwanews.com and search for "Ernie Dulay"
What made the night was that the kid showed up at the party. I was pleasantly surprised because I thought he had a softball game that night and couldn't come. He did have a game but he dropped by for a few minutes. I on the other hand decided to go to see his game. Very ballsy of me. Keri had to give me words of encouragement. I felt so stupid sitting there in the stands just like the stalker I am. But I did it because it was my last night here and I said "What the hell."
After the game we talked for a very long time...after midnight I believe. It was nice to have a decent conversation with someone for once. And I learned a lot about him. He has one of those "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" stories...the story that makes you cry within 5 minutes of the show. He is so appreciative of everything he has and he is such a nice person. All I can say is...why didn't I do this earlier???? Why didn't I talk to him when there was time??? As Keri would say, "Hind sight is always 20/20". But then again, I can not compete with Jesus. He is very much a Christian and is very involved with the church and what not...something that I haven't had the calling for. I mean, I make of people for being "Team Jesus". But I guess the life he grew up with, having Faith has helped him deal with his struggles. So I can't fault him for it...at least he's not crack addict or anything.
Well, it's late and I'm tired...and I'm suppose to drive back to Dallas tomorrow. Until then...Arkansas has been a very pleasant surprise and I'm so glad I came here and I'm awfully sad to leave.
Peace out to the Ozarks!

"I went this way, he went that way. I said where'd he go? Where'd whooo GOooo??"
~Top Gun
In case you're wondering, I'm still in Arkansas. This weekend is Labor Day and I have somewhat a full schedule. Raawwwb (aka Rob) is driving up from Atlanta this weekend. Friday night we're going to a race...a stock car race. We were invited by Lisa who takes here dog to Doggie Day Care. It will be a bunch of girls who have never been to a race and Rob. I guess I'm mainly going because I've never been and this is my last weekend here so I might as well. It will be fun.
There's this guy at Doggie Daycare whom I've had my eye on since day one. We have a mutual friend that I would like to refer to her as J Lo. Well, J Lo talked to Tori (the guy) and he's so shy that he want's me to ask him out. So on Monday, I chickened out...of course. But I did talk to him for some time when I went to pick up the Ernster. And then Tuesday I was going to ask him out but his co-worker was standing there the entire time, so I didn't. Oh well. I guess it wasn't meant to be...he is only 21 after all.
