Social Events in Comanche?

Friends,

It seems now that the semester is in full swing I find myself up later and later each night working on homework as Graduation looms closer I find myself having to study harder which I think it is suppose to be a downhill slide from here on out but, I do things backwards usually. So there is no shock in this. We have seen September fly right by us as we are now almost to Mid-October. The Comanche County Pow Wow was a huge hit in Comanche this year. The entertainment, vendors and the crowds were all awesome. It could not have gone any better. Despite, only one act having to be taken to the Hospital for heat related issues everything else went great. It was hotter than the seventh circle of hell and I did lose ten pounds in two days but, all in all it was a fun weekend. Now, as Halloween draws closer I am really ready to get up to Dallas and celebrate my favorite time of the year. This year I will be a nun with some bling...my bling being exact replicas of Dorothy's Ruby Slippers from The Wizard of Oz! Yes, as usual I am going to add a little twist to a very simple costume and I am no virgin but on to more important topics. We have a young man selling fresh veggies on the square in Comanche on Wednesdays and I find this great. I hear that his crops are really good and I can not wait to go and support this young man and his efforts.
I did attend the Second Saturday Singing at Brennan Vineyards this past Saturday and Darrel Dodd played for a crowd that I was kind of upset was not larger. Perhaps, the event was not publized enough or something went wrong in the Public Relations department but, this talented young man should of had a better crowd. I do feel that the young people feel kind of out of place at a Vineyard because the feel that they have to dress up and young men and women do not like to dress up unless they have to. I love to but I am different. But, if I felt like it I would go in holy jeans if I was in that kind of mood. People locally need to understand that the Vineyard has done so much for the local economy and Comanche is really blessed to have it. The Brennan's have not only stimulated the local economy and brought people to Comanche but, they took out some of the Ghetto!! They developed part of a run down eye sore in Comanche that needed something done to it and I am grateful for it. Now, if only we can get the code enforcer to hopefully get a land owner to mow their freakin grass across from the Vineyard. It is so high you could bail hay. Seriously, get it together and just mow. I do not understand why people just let their property just go and do nothing with it.

Back to DD and his performance. The event was a blast or I had a blast he is a very talented young man and he has a really awesome singing voice. I love music but, I am not crazy about Country Honky Tonk Music. Although, I do like the Classics I had no intentions of going but, some things happened and I changed my mind at the last minute. I am glad that I did in HRH fashion I made three new contacts. Two of them being DD and his girlfriend from Dallas it turns out he lives only blocks away from my favorite hotel in Dallas!! So I got the girlfriends number and next month when I am going out I shall give them a call and extend an invitation to the both of them. I think that they would be a blast to go out with. The food at this event was good although the menu remains the same it was good. I do not understand though why we must serve the food in a black take out box made by Hefty. To me it just looks kind of tacky but, no one asked me. A good sturdy black square paper plate would be just fine. It would give it a modern look and there would be no dishes to wash!! The highlight of the night though was well first, Dr. Brennan clued me in on the TWC that was available and that made the night so much better and during the intermission DD came and sat at our table and just started talking. It was really great to see a talented performer so down to earth just talking it up with people he did not even know. Our conversation would of gone on longer but, Patrick Dudley totally must of missed the manners course and the chapter on how it is very rude to intrrupt a very intense and active conversation between two people. Not only did he intrrupt he planted his ass in between us. I guess they are friends or Patrick knew him or something I do not know and there is another side to that. I could give a rat's ass. I know where he picked up those manners. But, that is another story no one ever intrrupts my conversations and never has like that except if there is an emergency or it is a polite intruption and usually the third party ends up getting involved in our conversation. But, after I returned from my social smoke break and discussion a controversal sermon that had some people in an uproar DD did make a point to introduce me to his girlfriend. Quite an introduction it went like this, "You have to meet Dawson he is awesome!" Granted I had only met him for roughly fifteen mins yet at least he found me entertaining and fun. I must still have it!! Even though I am approaching my Twenty Fifth birthday on Thursday I will forge ahead as though it is just another year. No big deal. I do not look my age and I do get carded for alcohol and cigarettes still so my plastic surgon must of done something right!!! Anyways, I must get back to studying I will try and update this blog every time something happens in Comanche that is of some interest. In the upcoming months we will be having a Country Christmas in Comanche and Melinda Megna and I have been named Co-Coordinators of The Miss Comanche County Pageant so there will be plenty of things to talk about!!! Until next time, keep your head up friends and never let anyone tell you the person you should be!! Although this is a small town progress has been made and we are moving in the direction of change!! We are changing it might take some time but, at least there are things that are beginning to change. Keep an open mind and keep reading this blog for a bite of the liberal outspoken HRH JDH!!
