so here’s a story for ya. i went to arkadelphia tuesday night to practice with mayor dave. i decided to spend the night there so i wouldn’t have to drive back late. well, the place where we practice is the baptist campus ministry building at hsu, because nick happens to live there as the “caretaker.” it’s a house sized building, kinda like a mini-church i guess. ok, so nick has a bedroom, and grady, who is staying there for the summer, has a bedroom rigged up in this empty conference room. there’s a couch in the room where we practice, which is the main room of the building, and so i claim that. the next morning, i awake to hear voices in the room, which i somewhat expected because the campus minister comes in and nick and all that. it wasn’t just them. it was an early-morning bible study. eating breakfast. while i was asleep on a couch in the middle of the room…in boxer-briefs only. this wouldn’t be such a problem except for one thing…there were girls there. girls that i didn’t know. and so therefore, i pretended to be asleep, even while one offered me breakfast, and such things as “there’s the mayor…asleep” and “this man has no shame” were spoken. you see, i decided that to remain “asleep” was a much better, and less embarrassing thing, than to get up and face all these, i’m sure, lovely men and women in my sleeping attire. later that day, i saw a guy at thrio’s coffeeshop. he was like, “hey, you’re that guy from the bcm that was sleeping on the couch.” “yes, i am.”
