Growing up, I was a smart ass. A prankster. A jokester. Won class clown in high school. Would tease teachers, chalk in the coffee, stink bombs in the hallway, you name it. My favorite thing though, was seeing people fall. If you fell in front of me, or anywhere near me, and you were okay…you were going to get laughed at. Loud !!! I could see you fall from across the quad, and I would make a mad dash to run over and up on you and let you along with the whole world know…that I saw you fall. Finger and arm pointed at you, maybe a yelling announcement of your fall on the bullhorn if it was around, a dance to your fall…whatever…instant jokes about your fall. Now with that, you have to be on point yourself. I can’t go around laughing at people falling, and then fall also. Nah. Never and still not a clumsy person…I don’t fall. I don’t fuck up. I don’t fumble. Until…the other night. Lol. Went to a pretty prominent recording studio the other night, to hear some music for an amazing artist. A lot of powerful people around, in and out of the studio, management…anybody could have been in there at that moment, luckily…it was just me and the artist. Oh yeah, and the engineer. So I was sitting behind the control board, in a reclining/office desk type of chair, leaning like a motherfucker in that chair ! Comfortable as hell. Just eating some chips and salsa, leaning, listening to the music…and I hear the chair creak. Kind of like a pop, but not really. So I get up, adjust the chair, and then I sit back down, like a normal person would. But, the music got going again, got comfortable, got back to leaning all ignorant in the chair, grabbed more chips and salsa, and right when I bit that one last chip…the chair exploded. LOL ! I immediately hit the floor, but the chair part of it was still kind of under me as I fell, so when I hit the floor, it spun out and rolled me on to the floor. Chips everywhere, artist yelling my name, asking if I was okay AND laughing, engineer in the cut yellin’ “what happened is everything okay ?!” Speechless ! Laughing hard as fuck inside and out, artist crying laughing…but at the same time I was like, what the fuck ?! LOL. Anyway, that’s the fucking story…it’s a wrap for that chair.
