The Forrest Gump Frame of Mind

Saturday, January 28, 2006

I sat here thankin of somethin' to write about. And I thought and thought somemore and before I knowed what happend, I had actually thought for quite a long time. Like my Grandma used to say, "Son, aint no use in thankin' too hard about thangs. You'll just end up with a headache."

Know whut? She was riight. My head is achin like somebody stomped on it with a big truck. But anyway I'd like to write somethin' while I'm not thankin for right now.

I remember the times I didnt get to meet President Clinton or President Bush. I remember that quite well. Includin' the time I never got to shake Jim Varney's hand. Seen him but didnt say nothin'. Of course he was alive back then and was filmin a movie called, "Daddy and Them" at the time. I coulda, but didnt. I expect a man famous in a small country city deserved his coffee drankin' in peace. So I left him to his self.

Of course I never did see that movie - cause it was a flop the way I hear it. But blame that on, Billy Bob Thornton (a fellow Arkansan) for that one. Thats kinda sad, cause it was ol' Jim Varney's last movie and his only real serious role that I can thank of. But for your records - that movie was filmed in Cabot, Arkansas and I was there.

I nearly got my VHS Video camera taken from me as I strolled bravely around the actors trailers and got a picture of the house, camera booms and all that. Fortunately the security guard what nailed me had mercy only because I didnt get the actors on video yet.

Well. Thats all I gotta say. Well, actually I gotta say one more thang. My first and only true love was from Cabot Arkansas. Never more, Lenore. Like Momma used to say, "Girls is like a box of chocolates; Sometimes you go through a few nuts before you hit carmel." Well - my first true love was the carmel - and I was the nut in this case for lettin' her get away. Dang ropes wudnt tight enuff I espect.
