[This post actually comes a bit in the late morning/early noon Thursday.]

I don't got a mouthful of words like some other guys so I'll keep this short and sweet.

Where I'm from this is only a year old but I bet it's gonna be a classic.

[The sound of someone turning the stereo on because that someone doesn't really understand digital embedding. Look at least that's not an LP he's playing okay? Anyway this starts playing at full blast.

Somewhere in the middle of the song there may or may not be another guy yelling at him to turn it down (which he doesn't do, at all). And when the song's over...]

I gotta take out the garbage.

It's good. Can you lend me the album?

[orangetoughguy]

Uh yeah I think I can. I don't have it on vinyl here like I do at home but I think it's doable.

[chosered.livejournal.com]

Alexis made me listen to Michael Jackson, too.

[orangetoughguy]

[Competition.]

Anybody give you Bob Marley?

[chosered.livejournal.com]

No, not yet.

[orangetoughguy]

[Having not mastered the art of the upload...have "Could You Be Loved" playing in the background.]

Here you go.

[He's quiet while he listens, then finally]

I think I like this the most. Bob Marley?

[orangetoughguy]

[Surprising and yet not.]

Bob Marley and The Wailers, you find most of this under just Bob Marley though. Grab "Redemption Song" while you're at it.

[chosered.livejournal.com]

I will. Thanks.

I would introduce you to music, but I'm pretty sure you know most of what I do already.

[orangetoughguy]

Not all of it. I had uh...'different' taste in school.

[chosered.livejournal.com]

What does that mean?

[orangetoughguy]

I got beat up for likin' Queen.

[He'll bring up his girlfriends Stevie, Joan, and the Wilson sisters eventually.]

Why? Are they...not musically acceptable?

[orangetoughguy]

Don't ask me why, I'm not an asshole. Sometimes those guys don't need a real reason.

They were probably jealous of my t-shirt or somethin'.

[chosered.livejournal.com]

I never got beat up in high school. But then I didn't stand out much, either.

[orangetoughguy]

Prep school though right?

[chosered.livejournal.com]

That's right.

[orangetoughguy]

Couldn't your parents sue the crap out of a kid who laid a hand on you?

[chosered.livejournal.com]

Why would they? It seems like a huge waste of money.

[orangetoughguy]

That's a gamble, sure it's a waste if you lose but if you win? Fuckin' lawsuit gold.

[chosered.livejournal.com]

I don't think my father would have backed me up. He probably would have told me to go back there and hit the kid back.

[orangetoughguy]

That's what my dad did, not that he said it in those words but after I came in with my suspension notice I knew he was fuckin' proud.

[chosered.livejournal.com]

I was always too tall for kids to pick on me, anyway.

[orangetoughguy]

[BOO.]

How tall?

[chosered.livejournal.com]

Six feet, four inches.
