To Whomever German It May Concern…<\/p>\n
Did you get pissed off last night because I spent all that time talking to that other guy? Really? No…Really??<\/em><\/p>\n You told me he was going on a road trip. Road trips are a big deal with me. I didn’t spend 60k for a car they say you can put 100 thousand miles on and it’s only just broken in because I wanted a status symbol. I Love Road Tripping!<\/em> \u00a0 But…you know that. That’s probably why you told me he was going on one.<\/p>\n He showed me his plan and I showed him the tons of road trip photos I have on my smartphone and my Facebook page and we talked road trip stuff and then he mentioned backpacking and I showed him that photo of me back when I was 30 with my pack on and we talked backpacking stuff.<\/p>\n Then he spent practically the rest of the night trying to find where you went because he knew we were friends (as opposed to acquaintances) and that I wanted to spend some time with you before it was time to go. And you’d bugged out.<\/p>\n You do that sort of thing. Like you suddenly get pissed off at me because of something I didn’t see coming and I would have avoided if I had seen it. And then it’s months before you talk to me again.<\/p>\n Love how you tease me every time we meet. You can launch yourself into a tea party tirade about how Obama has wreaked the economy with a perfectly straight face and if I didn’t know any better I’d swear you meant it. Of course, when I suggested with my own straight face that Trump was a good alternative the look on yours my dear German was priceless. Yes, I can tease back.<\/p>\n But teasing is only fun when there is a bedrock of honesty between friends and you don’t want me that close. For some reason. After I joked about Trump you said I was hard to read sometimes. No I’m not, and neither are you. And that’s really the problem all along isn’t it. We’re birds of a feather on the same wavelength every time we meet<\/em> and you still can’t handle that. So you keep me at arm’s length. And then misjudgements happen.<\/p>\n Did you really get jealous<\/em>? I swear…sometimes it’s like you forget I spent 33 years searching for you. \u00a0 By now…don’t you know<\/em>?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To Whomever German It May Concern… Did you get pissed off last night because I spent all that time talking to that other guy?
