you never even called me by my name

day 7. you never even called me by my name. by david allen coe.

something I wouldn’t recommend to anyone is going to a party that you weren’t invited to. it’s just not a great idea. and let me tell you, yeah, maybe it WILL make for a great story some day, but is it really worth your dignity?

especially don’t believe someone when they tell you that there will be “TONS” of people there. if that were the case, you probably would have heard about the party sooner, you probably would have been invited.

& let’s take it one step further, if you sit around and debate for two hours about whether or not to attend, the answer is probably NO. instead, just throw your own dang party.

because when you walk into the “party” and there are only about 12 people there and the person who mentioned the party to you – an oddball person who is a friend of a friend of the son of the MOM & DAD throwing the party – ISN’T EVEN THERE, things get real awkward, real fast. 

but, here is the thing that may be useful if you ever hang out in the country and things get awkward - turn on some David Allen Coe and no one remembers what was wrong in the first place. i mean it's like time stands still for these people the second this song comes on. i'm certain the guys from the movie Deliverance would have been safe if only they could have played a little d.a.c.
