i feel like ive had the luckiest life ever and now im running on bonus time

ive had the greatest friends, the best girlfriends, i got to see the coolest music, and i had the most amazing jobs where they paid me actual monies.

when amber and i first kissed it was at the def leppard kiss concert at the forum

we had been on three dates and i wasnt sure if she liked me

turned out she was getting her hair blown out for every date and wearing all new dresses and stockings

i couldnt believe she kept saying yes to dates and as she told me later she couldnt believe i wanted to be out there with her

when you are a black kid in the suburbs of chicago and you think of california girls you think of blondes who live in bikinis and work in beverly hills

there she was. and there i was in my 50s. and not doing so well on the job front. she did not care. we hit it off and loved LA so much and drove everywhere and talked with everyone and we stayed at a whole bunch of hotels thanks to her discount and

i think about her every day and today i was playing some lady gaga while i took my shower

amber was a little monster. we saw her 2x together.

and then right after two songs that i never get randomly but i love

miley cyrus we cant stop and madonna causing a commotion

and i thought, thats amber saying hi

hi baby
