Its Been A Long Time Coming...
Amidst all of the hate mail I have been receiving for not making more posts to my blog, I am doing it. And I lied about the hate mail thing, no one sent me crap, but thats okay. I have been in Florida for 2 weeks, and now in Duncan, OK for the last week. My little brother was married last Saturday to Holly Nelson here in Duncan. It was a great time, other than the ceremony.The minister got up there and delivered THE SINGLE WORST wedding ceremony I have ever heard. It was embarassing to Chris and Holly, my parents, her parents, and my mom has heard of 5 families leaving this man's congregation because of some things that he said. He kept exalting our parents as if they were deity, and then he spoke of Chris and Holly in such glowing terms, that he acted as if he had never done a wedding between two believers before. It was quite painful.
But I miss Duncan, well, for the most part. There's not too many places where you drive in and in the first 5 minutes, you see a girl in denim coveralls. There also aren't too many places where you play golf and everyone has their own ice chest custom made on the side of their golf cart with a 12-pack of beer that he will drink in a single round alone. Lots of really loud pick-ups, lots of really loud stereos, a handful of lowriders, which are my favorite. In high school, there was this lowrider club called "Sweet Temptations". They all had this logo stamped on their back windshields. I don't know what the requirements for entrance were, but maybe it was just that something on the car had to be loud, really really loud. Muffler, speakers, it didn't matter, but one qualification, it had to be sweet.
I used to want loud speakers in my car. But I figured that I'd save the thousand dollars and go sit in the passenger seat of my buddy's car and let it shake me crazy. It did, lots of times. We played lots of uplifting music like Easy E, TooShort, 2Pac, Westside Connection, and assorted other treasures. Those CDs have the Explicit Lyrics stamp on the front for a reason without a doubt. Thats the tangent of the year, i better go to sleep before I say something i regret.

Brent, really funny post. But your loyal fans want more awkward-Brent girl stories.
Brent-
This is the kind of stuff that makes the guy who invented blogs feel like his life's purpose was a good one.
That's our Brent, and we'll keep him, thank you.
Do you think I could have gotten into the club in HS with my 89 Ford Ranger that had ONE speaker installed behind the middle armrest?
Sweet Temptations huh? It could be shortened to Sweet T. But then I guess people would confuse it with Sweet Tea, you know, the tea with the sugar in it. Sweet Tea is good. Real good. Or as Russ Edwards say, reeeeeal good.
