Boots and Boys

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Today on the light rail, I encountered some cowboys.

Yeah I thought it was a little early in the morning for the Rodeo, too, but I think they were heading out to reliant to chill with their livestock. You know, maybe weigh their cows or something.

There were open seats available in my favorite area of the train but people were blocking it, so I was stuck standing next to these men, probably in their 50s..maybe younger…I have no concept of age. Of course they were wearing giant belt buckles, tight jeans, boots, and cowboy hats..oh and some jackets that had their team name on it, I suppose. But like I always say, this guy is the only man that looks good in tight jeans. I guess I missed out on that gene every other girl in Texas has..you know the “cowboy butts drive me nuts” gene. I think I’m homozygous dominate for preferring a Northeastern attitude mixed with a Texas soul. (yeah I realize that makes no sense to you, but it makes sense in my head)

Nonetheless, I talked to these fellers…and by talked, I mean I made one comment until I realized I didn’t feel like talking to people that don’t speak correct English.

Cowboy1: (insert incredibly hick accent here) “I tell you wut…dem bullriders this year be really good.”
Cowboy2: “Mmmmmhhhmmmm.”
Yes, I invited myself into this conversation.
Me: “I like mutton bustin’. Cracks me up.”
Cowboy1: “HAHAHAHA. Thas a gOOd one too. Those there are some tough kids, I tell you what.”
I laugh.

The cowboys continue talking about random rodeo stuff. They were probably talking about how much beef they get to eat once they buy all the steer. It was too early in the morning for me to be paying attention.

Moral of the story: Wake up in the mornin feelin like Garth Brooks….

yes, I’ve been listening to too much Ke$ha this morning.

Is it March, yet?

Today on the light rail, I met a leprechaun.

Ok maybe he was just a little person, but he had red hair and a beard like a leprechaun.

I didn’t talk to him, mainly because I’m still sick (didn’t go to work yesterday, hence no post) and my throat was hurting.  But I almost wanted to ask him if he’d grant me 3 wishes…

nvm that’s a genie.

Moral of the story: I thought today would bring better luck after seeing this guy.

Public Service Announcement: IT’S RODEO SEASON!!! And I know all you people may be taking the light rail to the rodeo.  If you have any good stories or good pictures, feel free to email them to me and I’ll include them in a weekend post.  Also, this site should be moving VERY soon to a different domain, I’ll keep you posted.
