Although I am happy I was able to move out of the trailer park pretty quick, the new apartment I live in now is just a small step up. It is a nice facility with plenty of great commodities. However the major downside is it is pretty much a college dorm, but bigger.
As I sit in my room trying to write a few tunes this afternoon, I couldn’t help but over hear my roommate and 2 of his friends talk in the living room while playing video games. Before they came over, he told me, “Coop, one of my buddies is fixin to come over, he just got out of jail for selling crack in the trailer park down the street, you know, the one you used to live at.”
My first thought, was, “Glad I got out of there!” Then I quickly realized, that, he was still coming over to where I live now, which is a good football field and a half from the trailer, yep, I’m moving up. So, as I listen through my open door, to the sound of “Modern Warfare 3” One of our house guests strikes up a conversation that I was not only, not expecting to hear but surprised me with every turn of his sentences.
Recently Released Crack Dealer: “So today was the 48th anniversary, of Kennedy’s assassination, or whatever… I watched this thing on the history channel, it was totally an inside job, this guy watching from the street shot him, and no one noticed him until years later. The government just wanted Kennedy out, too bad they don’t work like they did back then” Me (In my head) “Is this really happening right now?” None of the other two charectors said anything in response to this. Then something happened in the game that caught his attention. “Yeah man, when I built my first computer, I used to play this game all the time.” What’s the deal with drug users being great with computers, makes you think they are leaving something out of the “Before” part in this ITT Tech success stories. Soon after this, all three of them went into roommate’s room for five to ten minutes and then came out, high fived, the two of them left, there was a light haze and skunk smell in the air, and roomie went back to the Xbox. Another satisfied customer. I was off work all day, and it was cold so I had just been messing around on guitar and banjo, and pretty sure while I sat around trying to put chords and words together in a Kristofferson manner, my roommate made a couple hundred dollars, made me second guess my career choice of banjo player country song writer.
