How I Met Him

Don't you ever hate when people tell you the following, "Just wait, it will happen" or "when you're not looking, it will happen" Blah blah blah. 

Well for me, as a non-believe of these sayings, was shocked.  Let’s start with, I'm starving and heading to HEB, a local grocery store here in Austin, Texas. I want to say, it was close to mid-night. I tend to go around the same times, on weekend, due to; it's always a mad house. 

I recall, getting out from my car, and looking up and I noticed this person also looking at me. That wired strange feeling, quickly came over me. I guess more embarrassed feeling, because I was doing something and I was caught.  That’s for another blog entire.

So then I get off, and on top of things I have this grocery bag, that calls me out.  Austin recently passed an ordinance on banning plastic bags. My bag said, in huge bright letters, “My Big Gay Bag”.   I rushing into HEB, I already knew what I wanted for the weekend, and for that night. I was going towards the cookie section, and aiming for the Oreo's.  There he was.  Granted I am the biggest pussycat on earth, I turn around, and make it so obverse, and rush to the milk section of the store.  Get my almond milk, and then head onto to Oreo's, thinking he was gone.   Turning that corner, and there he was.  Thinking to myself, why in the hell is he still there. He smiles, and says, can I buy these for you.   Who does that and who says that. I was super confused, and lost… was this, a trick.   But that’s not the funny part.


The funny thing about this story, I had left my pinche wallet at home.  So not only did I get free cookies, 2 packages for five bucks, and my favorite soda in the world, “Red Big”, but I ending up knowing a person that changed my entire view of life.

So that’s, how I met him.  I am here written this memory, and sharing it with the world and I want to shed a tear, but I am not... I have a smile, instead.

More about the Big Red moments, we had and more Oreo's, and the laughs he had about my gay’ish grocery bag.
