Shuffle Shake And Roll
I'm in Texas and yesterday I was cruising for chicks in the halls of a co-ed dormitory in Arlington. Me and this other guy actually. I trailed behind him for awhile to pick up on his methods because he'd been around the place longer. He was an actual resident and I was just a visitor. He's got one of those fancy new candy apple red walkers, with the wheels and the handbrakes and the seat you can store stuff in or in emergencies I suppose you could even crap in it. I haven't had any coffee this morning because I'm staying at my brother's house in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas and there are two Jack Russell dogs here and one of them doesn't like me and I'm afraid to leave this room, until other people get up. So my mind is not clicking very well. I'm just staring at the screen a lot. So I'll keep this short, take a shower, and then maybe, if no one is up yet, make a mad dash for the front door and drive somewhere for coffee. Spent most of yesterday helping my sister and two sisters-in-law arrange my mom's new room at the assisted living facility in Arlington. We brought in some of her furniture from her house and pictures and milk glass and books and, most importantly, Blue Bell ice cream for the mini-fridge. She is not happy but we, three of her six kids in attendance, are. Because the place is nice, and the people, both residents, and staff, seem pretty cool, and even if this is a mistake, it is clear to all of us that it is a much lesser mistake than the one we were making by letting her stay in that big two story house in North Dallas, by herself. Anyway, I met beau coup babes yesterday. I don't think its too late for me to enter the world of big time player-dom. I'm going back today. May try out one those lines from my friend with the candy-apple red walker. Shuffle shake and roll, shuffle shake and roll, turn to resident, smile broadly, say "hiya sweets," then, shuffle shake and roll on by.
