I understand "Paul". He's this Christian guy, that I met not long ago. We have did like 5 shows together (shared a booth), and plan to do many more. We are working on building a "booth" together" that works best for both our products. Basically this means, since we committed. We will do alot of shows together.

I love "Paul", I really do! He loves me too. We are however "opposite" in quite a few ways. We are "both" Christian, but his way is not "quite" as direct as mine. Anyway...

I was gone awhile. Doing shows and whatever. I got alot of "emails". Alot from "Paul" which I didn't get a chance to read then.

When I finally open them. It was like (Him writing me).. "Gary, I am so sorry if I said anything wrong" (he never once said anything wrong).. "Gary, Thank you, thank you for what all you done"... "Gary, gary.. I am so glad we met". "Gary Gary, I don't want to offend you".

First thing I think to me... "Fucker, you are far too respectful" for your own good! I decide to "write him". Basically I tried to tell him. I am not some corporate asshole you gotta kiss up too. I am just "Gary", and beyond that "I am your friend"! If you "talk to me", talk as a "real person". Yes being respectful is nice (I am too really).. but not when it's like you are trying to "kiss up"..

So we talked on the phone. Several hours actually. All cool talk really. Paul and I are such good friends, we could be "Butt buddies".. lol (no not really.. I don't fly that way). Figure of "speech".

Paul is quite "tense". Yep, I see that and have no problem saying it. Hell, he's the one promoting the "Ministry", I'm just out there being me. You'd think,, a drinker like me would be more "tense then him". Not the case. I'm pretty "calm overall" no matter how I seem when writing.

He just started doing shows. Like 6 months ago. He worries, if he'll make money, this or that. He prays (so do I).. but still he is way more "tense" then me. I've done this all my life. I know the "up and down". I go with the flow.

Paul agrees on the phone, the "stress" gets to him. Paul is a great parent. But he had his son with him last week. I know he is trying to do well. But also I see he gets a little "too harsh" on him. I brought this up on the phone tonight. And he was like "Gary, people in my church have said the same". He wants to talk to me about it over the weekend.

To me, Paul is an "awesome guy"! He's doing his best for him and his family. Just "stressed" a bit. He loves "Jesus" (So do I). Sometimes tho, you gotta relax a bit. I know for a fact, nothing he has been through in life, would compare to mine.

I understand Paul:

Paul told me. "Gary I love you so much"! I want to keep doing shows together! I already know you will "be yourself" at any show!! But can you do me a favor?

"Sure Paul, what"?

"If we do a church show together, can you take the pot leaves and such off your display"? Yeah, why not? Not like they sell that well at a church event anyway.. lol.

Do me a favor also tho dude.. "Be real to me".. all I ask..

I understand Paul

So we will be doing many shows together I think. I'll keep ya all "updated"..

Gary :)
