- 7:10 AM, Monday,
May 8th, 2017:
-
- A whirlwind of a
weekend and I wake up on Monday morning as a
complete stranger is sleeping on our couch. But
I did not spend a weekend with a stranger,
I spent it with a friend... how on earth did we
get here? Facebook. I asked on Facebook if anyone
had ever done a 1/4 mile race and Ray said yes. That's
it. A short phone call and I said "why not?"
and bought him a ticket. Then we did an
interview...
-
-
- Of course, since
it's now Monday morning, I indeed know what
happened Sunday but at this point nothing is unlocked.
Nothing about Kenny... I mean NADA. It's fairly clear
now how this will play out and it's a matter of
preparing everything for that. I'm still in a bit of a
haze, but some axel bolts that were not tightened by
Kenny changed that. Man, I need to concentrate on
what's in the video. My head is
spinning...
-
- Ray and I hit
it off immediately. We joked about how we both
wondered what we'd do had we NOT? But thankfully, and
sincerely, we did. My personality type tends to be
IN YOUR FACE vulnerable (does that make
sense?). I'm unabashedly honest about being
heartbroken or angry or confused... there's no filter
with me. I don't look abashed when talking about
something sad, I say
"THIS IS FUCKING SAD" and try and deal
with it. Since Ray and I were thrown into this
situation in mere hours? That amplified the inertia of
that for BOTH of us. We were talking about our
relationships, past and present, almost immediately
and you could tell he was happy that I wasn't
some arrogant know-it-all "LA" guy. In fact I was a
"I DONT KNOW SHIT,
LITERALLY EXPLAIN EVERYTHING" guy and
I listened as much as possible. My back is
against the wall here and has been since the moment
I got the car back. I never even documented
how horrible the period was from 4/26-5/2. I was
under that car the entire time trying to figure shit
out because I had gigs! This is for my JOB!
-
- Anyway, Ray
appreciated my approach and was ready, to, ROLL. He
designed that neutral shut-off switch and we had to
stop ourselves from talking all night. At which point
I now need to move onto the next entry which
mayyyyyyyyy be a couple days. It's a beast of a
video.
