My best friend, we'll call him...DB (for dirtbag) was able to see ROTS at the modesto, Ca premiere with his wife and Mark Hamill. I'm guessing, he did not attend with Mark Hamill and that he came with his wife. Not only did he see it a full week before me, but he got the $250 tickets ($500 for the both of them) free.

So how many reasons in the above paragraph are there to hate my best friend? For the correct answer turn to page 58. But, do I hate him? Should I hate him? Should...maybe. Do I...no. Here's why:

1. I Saw Attack of the Clones before DB (albiet it, only hours before).
2. I have a 20-month old, so it's difficult to secure trustworthy babysitting.
3. I actually reordered my priorities in life by placing family before Star Wars. This happens when you get married...or should happen anyway.
4. Reasons 2 and 3 equate to me wanting to see the movie first with my wife, therefore I must wait until the weekend for night babysitting.
5. I have a son, and DB has 3 daughters. I laugh at and pity him all in the same breath. (Males will understand, females will not like me for that statement. All I can say is this future phone call that will be placed):

Me: Hey DB, what's going on?

DB: Not much. But there are 4 women in this house and they only listen if
they want phone priviledges.

Me: Oh...sorry. That sucks.

DB: So why did you call? Still mad because I saw ROTS before you with
Mark Hamill at my side? Ha ha. Ha ha.

Me: Well, he wasn't exactly at your side.

DB: He was six feet from me. If I had fallen, the gel in my hair would have polished his shoes.

Me: Right. Uh...no. That's not why I called.

DB: So what's up?

Me: Dude, I just signed my son up for little league baseball. It's AWESOME. He is so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DB: (silence)

Me: (silence) - but with smile

DB: (defeated silence)

Me: (silence) - but with large smile

DB: That's cool. Um...got to go. Uh...my third daughter needs the phone.

Me: Okay man, take care of yourself.


Just kidding. But it would be funny. Seriously. I'd never drop that on him. Hell, having three daughters is probably one of the coolest jobs on earth.

See you next time.
