ROCKSTAR (LIFE) UPDATE:
ME: Mom, you didn’t ask how my band practice was.
MOM: (laughing.. and laughing.. and not stopping…)
ME: It’s our first practice in 9 months, and all you can do is laugh at me?
MOM: (laughing… )
ME: Mom, why are you still laughing?
MOM: Sorry Mike, (still laughing)… okay… (more damned laughing) okay, Mike… (laughing) Mike, how was your band practice yesterday?
ME: (Now I’m laughing.. this has become embarrassing..)
MOM: See Mikey, you’re laughing too. (more laughing, it never rally stopped.)
ME: It was okay.
MOM: Only okay? (and still laughing at me…)
ME: We played some new songs. We both agree, we can’t go country.
MOM: Why?
DAD:
(Who was laughing at me also… Happy Thanksgiving to me 😛 )
That’s right? No country?
MIKE: Nope, can’t do it,
MOM: Well, Mikey, then you’re done!
MIKE: No, no, we got a new thing.
MOM: Mikey, that’s what the young people are listening to, New Country.
ME: Oh, new country, that’s even worse.
MOM: I know, but that’s what it is.
ME: Nah, we’re going a different angle, we might class up our act.
MOM: And do what?
ME: You know, just be like, classy. I could play the French Horn.
MOM: What?
ME: Damen’s son has one, I tried playing it (I show the parentals me trying to play a French Horn.)
DAD: So that’s your new thing, you’ll play a French Horn? What Will Damen play?
ME: I don’t know, I guess he’ll sing and play guitar still. He has the talent, I’m just there for the gimmicks.
DAD: Do you still play that other horn thing… you know… whats it called, the keyboard.
ME: Oh yeah, it’s the Melodica! Just for a song. I could do the French Horn for a song, and you know, I have Chucki-Cheese’s squeeze box… the Accordion! And you know, whatever else.
MOM: Ohhhh, Mikey. I don’t know if this will work. And how will you get famous?
ME: I don’t know man…
MOM: Well, wasn’t Andy’s wife in a band?
ME: Yeah man, they toured across Canada. But I don’t think she can lower herself that far, to have to play with us.
MOM: Yeah, but she’s probably good, you guys probably need her…
ME: Yeah, I don’t know man, but she was legit. And she knows Emm Gryner! And Damen knows Jeremy Fisher!
DAD: He’s good.
MOM: She’s a Sarnia girl!
ME: And I know Danny Michel’s parents.
DAD: You could get his other guy…
ME: Who, Rob Carli?
DAD: Yeah, you could get him.
MOM: Well, why don’t you do one of those blog things, or a podcast?
ME: Will you be on it?
MOM: No, I don’t know how.
ME: All you have to do is talk into a mic.
MOM: Okay, sure Mikey, I’ll be on your podcast…
<<She’s going to regret saying that some day, ha!>>
