life's sad when no one reads your blog

so..i guess i've found a pet peeve of mine..i had practice tonight for our praise team "performance" on saturday at the day of encouragement or something..and there's this guy who sings, and the first thing he says to me tonight is "so you got the acoustic-electric tonight, big guy?" i could get ticked about him not realizing i've had the acoustic since august, but its a guitar noob error i usually let go. its how every time he talks to me, its "big guy" or "buddy". sure, i'm younger than him, but last time i checked i'm not four. or six. or 10. Andrew Schwab, the vocalist and lyricist for Project 86 had a blog/commentary/complaint session about this and how a guy at some store kept calling him "buddy" and how he had to resist the urge not to punch him in face. eventually, he decided everyone should use the word "dude", as it is the least offensive word and nobody ever got punched in the face for calling someone "dude". i think he's right. had mr. singer man called me dude, i would have been a little awed someone over 40 used the word and a little humored he tried to be hip and young again, but getting called "big guy" gets old pretty durn fast. he means well, so i guess i shouldnt criticize him, and he probably doesn't know any better, unless he stalks my blog, but i guess i should let it go. but why do you care. you probably dont. but i guess i felt the urge to rant..and i needed something to blog about, i hadnt updated in a while..not that this is much of an update. other than the fact that you now know not to refer to me with names used to make small children feel important and special. unless you wanna call me sport. you can call me that anytime you want.
