About Dan

Monday, Nov. 23, 2009 - 12:05 a.m.

Now it's time to tell you the rest of what happened when I went to see Dan.

I had known for some time that Dan was an advocate and user of medical marijuana.

What I did NOT know was that Dan smoked while driving.

As in, he flaunted authority by putting the pipe to his lips and lighting it at stop lights, and puffing away while in motion.

In other words, he's deliberately and consciously choosing to drive under the influence.

His comment to me when I asked him nicely not to put the pipe to his lips while he had me in the car was "Oh, I'm authorized to have marijuana."

And my response was "Yes, and that will mean that you won't get a ticket from the nice officer after fifteen minutes of interrogation. But if you get stopped by the cops while I'm in the car with you, that will make me sick to my stomach from nerves. Please smoke when I am not in the car with you."

He capitulated. But only after I told him why it was actually affecting my health to be worried about him.

---

What Dan also doesn't realize is, that whether he is allowed to use weed, he's most certainly NOT allowed to be driving under the influence.

I reckon he'll find this out somehow and hopefully soon.

But not while I am in the goddamn car.

---

Dan also called The President Of The United States Of America "boy", and said he thought he'd never live to see the day when there would be a nest of niggers in the White House, and that That Boy desserved a Tire Necklace.

---

For now, even though I'm one of his most trusted friends, I'm aware that there is too much damage present to try and fix anything.

I'm not going to worry about it. Life tends to take care of people like this in ways I can't even begin to wish for.

Don't get me wrong. Like a certain lying thief from some months ago, Dan is also entitled to be a hate-filled racist.

And I'm entitled to avoid him like the plague.

---

I had forgotten why I wasn't in a hurry to see him in person.

But it's all come back now. I will remember from now on.

And if he calls me again and John is at home? I'm handing the phone to my husband.

---

That's it. Have a good Monday.
