THE DAILY DIVERSION

IS IT REALLY A SMALL WORLD?

Man, do I have a doozie of a song in my head this morning. Unfortunately I don't have it on my Ipod, and the song SUCKS!!!

Song of the day: "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James and The Shondells, along with several others, who knows what album. I had to look it up just to see who sung it the most. Talk about random songs? The only thing I can figure is that it must've been on the TV last night after I fell asleep and ended up creeping into my head. Otherwise, I have no idea how it got there. Man, that song sucks!! I don't even want to look up the lyrics or anything. All I heard was the chorus of the song, and that was enough for me.

On to other things...

I just happened to post a comment on one of my friends blog about one of the links she has on her website. It has been well documented that I moved last week. Just after we finished getting everything unloaded I met one of my neighbors that live on the same floor as myself. She was already up to speed on my situation. She knew I was getting married and that I was from Kentucky. I know I had met her before, but didn't remember telling her all of this. Side note, I found out yesterday that she is good friends with the folks that just moved out of the apartment I moved in to, who happen to be friends of mine.

Anyway, she comes down the hall to introduce herself, and immediately says "I'm from Bowling Green!" I just kind of laugh and say "I'm from Bowling Green too." We both had one of those "NO WAY" looks on our faces. She asks me how long I had lived in BG and where I went to school and all that good stuff. We chat about Western a little bit too.

She starts telling me a little bit about her family and where they live. She tells me that her family owns Chaney's Dairy Barn. I think to myself "Man, that sounds really familiar, why?", then I say to her "Wow, that sounds familiar?" She goes on to tell me that it's out on 31-W, and I know I've been out there, but it's been a while. She then says that her niece also went to Greenwood and is 29, so we'd almost have to know each other. Her name sounded familiar, but I've lost part of my mind in the 13 years since I graduated high school.

We chat a little bit more, then she notices that we're holding some groceries, and sends us on our way. She is super nice, as have been everyone else I've met on my floor. The aura of the floor is much better than it was upstairs. There are a couple of younger guys that live on the floor too that I've met. One of them I already sort of knew. So, I think I'm going to like it down here.

Anyway, back to it being a small world (cue the little kids in the Dutch outfits complete with wooden sneakers), I was reading one of my friends blogs yesterday when I looked at her links. Suddenly I see "Chaney's Dairy Barn". DING! Yes, the actual bell went off in my head!

"This can't be the same place, right?" I say to myself. I pull up the website and, sure enough, it's on 31-W just outside BG. Some of this stuff can just be scary. I move 4 hours away from BG, end up living on the same floor as someone else from BG, then find out that one of my Haven friends used to work at this place and still keeps the website running for them.

Oh what a small world we live in!

Did I ever tell my story about meeting Sid Vicious on the street just outside my apartment?




















No? Well that's another story, for another day!
