I was once in a similar situation. Second floor apartment. Angry boyfriend pounding at the door. Oddly enough, he was employed as a meat cutter. One way out. Balcony to my left. Should I jump? Eventually he departed, so I was able to ease out front, soft and slow. There was no second date. Too risky for my health.
A second opinion, from the angry meat cutter's point of view:

I cannot talk about anything without talking about everything. --Chesterton
Fundamentally there are only three miracles: existence, life, intelligence; with intelligence, the curve springing from God closes on itself like a ring that in reality has never been parted from the Infinite. --Schuon
The quest, thus, has no external 'object,' but is reality itself becoming luminous for its movement from the ineffable, through the Cosmos, to the ineffable. --Voegelin
A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes. --Wittgenstein
I went right out front door, past boyfriend and his two buddies. But I was faster, and fortunately didn't live too far away.
ReplyDeleteProbably a good thing you didn't jump. There's a particular spinal compression injury that has some kind of a nickname like "Romeo syndrome" (I don't think that's exactly it, but you get the picture), most commonly seen under just such circumstances...
ReplyDeleteSonny Boy was really something. I love that second video; his hands on that harmonica are just amazing. It's almost shocking at the end when the camera pulls back from his face, and you see the audience. Such a contrast.
There were at least four slide rules in the audience.

ReplyDeleteSo your the one, guess you know I ended up raising your kid ;-)
I assumed it was the Allman Bros...
ReplyDeletegreat tune.
You channeling Howlin Wolf now? Ok. I can dig it. Slightly on topic. Here's a different Sonny on the blues harp.
