Well, I'm sitting here naked, fresh out of the shower, and I have to get ready to take the mom's to see Pete in his recent play, "Ruddigore." It's a Gilbert and Sullivan play, and from what I know of it, I think it'll be rather interesting. I do say that Gilbert and Sullivan try to pack too many words into a song though. Ah well, Pete loves doing community theater, so it's always nice to see him enjoying himself.
Yeah, well, both Pete and I like to sit around naked sometimes, I mean who doesn't?! My chiropractor killed me the other day, my shoulder was in a lot of pain and I felt like slapping his face off...so he says, "I'll need you to remove your shirt....if that's okay?" And I'm like, "Dude, I'm not hung up on that stuff." And I whipped it off, he massaged my shoulder and now I feel much better. I mean, he's a doctor, right? I figure, if you don't like the way I look honey, just turn your head in the opposite direction and don't look.
Sooooo what to wear, what to wear...anyway, before I go to my closet to growl in frustration at my clothes that never make me look gorgeous like I had hoped they might, I wanted to share some photos that I just found the other day in a box. (Yes, we're STILL unpacking, we moved 5 months ago, but life has a way of sucking time away from ya, especially when you've got a 90 year old attention whore living with you).
Here's a photo you might like....
CRAP!! Okay, something is amiss here. I don't know why the heck it's sideways...grrr....Pete is the computer geek of the family, so I'll ask him if he can fix it later. Anyway, it's Neal Schon at a LAUNDROMAT with an old penpal of mine (from the old Journey fan club years ago), named Becky Black. It was funny that she and I were writing letters to each other because my name was Becky (different color last name) at the time. I just love how Neal is wearing a "Steed" t-shirt....good lord. That man really is a hot mess, ain't he? He needs a little more starch in his shorts, I think. (...if there's ROOM for it). hehehehehe
GRRRRR....dammit to hell!!! This one is upside down!! ARGHHHH!! How the heck do I fix that?!
Well, until I'm able to fix this glitch, this is a photo of YOU, getting into a limo backwards (ya turd, I wanted a FRONTAL shot, but all you gave me was your pony tail). And there's Rome, your bodyguard, sitting next to you...yeah, I know it's him, because he's the guy who let me get backstage to meet the rest of your FTLOSM band. He was really nice, but HUGE. I remember when he practically tackled 2 young chicks who ran up onto the stage at you in Kalamazoo Michigan. He was PEEVED. So was I, (and so were YOU), so I gave those 2 bimbo's the what-for after the show when they had the audacity to show up at your hotel. I had been INVITED there, but they weren't.
Jeezus Jumpin' Jehosephat....another sideways photo....I don't know WHY this keeps happening!!
This was when I attended a drum clinic in Grand Rapids MI back in 1994 I believe, right before you guys reunited to do the Trial By Fire album. I told him I was going to meet you in a few weeks, in Kalamazoo, (Moyes saved me a ticket & backstage pass...he liked me a lot), and Smitty says, "Tell Steve to call me, we'll talk about Trial By Fire." I had no clue what he was talking about then.
But when I gave you a photo of Steve Smith with that message written on the back, you blinked a few times, took a step back away from me, and said, "Um. Thanks..." I knew at that moment that I had totally freaked you the hell out, and I cried all the way home. You shot the messenger, man!!! YA TURD!!! (Yes, Stephen, today you are a turd). So nyah.
Aw HELL.....well, here's an upside down photo of Steve Augeri and I together. Poor schmuck probably had to go back to the GAP when he roached his throat. He just couldn't hit those high notes of yours, nor could he remember all the lyrics...but he really did try hard. I (and millions of other fans) felt worried that Journey was going to become a "karaoke band," with all the different lead singers they kept having. I'm kinda glad they're sticking with Arnel Pineda now though, he is great.
Okay well, there ya go, some photos that I had thought I'd lost....but now I found them and I was tickled. So I had to share them with ya.
Oops!! Gotta scoot...time to get ready for the play. Talk atcha later, gator.
Go give Miss Red Dress some nasty-wild-lovin' tonight my friend.
Love, Rebecca
