So I am not sure if there is a theme to this or not but I have noticed recently that some of my blogging cohorts (Newscoma, Jag, Ginger, Heartbreaktown, etc ) post videos/songs on Friday. Well, here is my contribution. This song is one that I have had running through my head since last weekend when G-Man first loaned the CD to me.
Here is Jason Isbell & 400 Unit performing the 2004 Drive-By Truckers song called “Danko/Manuel“.
I am so in a live rock & roll mood right now that it almost hurts!
Today is the third part of my series in which I was challenged by blogger Blessed1 from Daily Blessings. You can read part one by clicking here and part two by clicking here.
Today we are going to count the G-Man blessing. Some people, guys I am especially talking to you, would be too embarrassed to speak about a little hetero-man-love as we like to call it. I am not.
I have known G-Man for 20 years. Oh my goodness, twenty years! Once he got over his initial annoyance of me we grew to be best of friends. Back in high school if I had something, heck anything, that I wanted to talk about and there was no one else that I could trust I knew that I could always trust him. He was the shoulder to cry on even though I am pretty sure that I never cried. This was the guy who had all of the answers and then more questions to challenge me. He was the one to keep it interesting as most friends would just sit and listen to music or watch the game we could turn all of that off and be entertained and provoked to think by each other.
G-Man is first person I think about when the wife and I want to do something. I always say, “That sounds like fun, do we want to call G and them to come along?” I know that even though we had rough times in the past as far as friends go, once we finished our growing up I realized that he would be the guy I would be hanging out with and sharing my life as my best buddy until the day one of us is taken to a better place. I also know that if I go second he would be one of the few that I would go clean his grave. That may sound morbid or disturbing but I think it is a true sign of caring. For him I am blessed.
