A bunch of useless crap
Published on August 14, 2010 By MasonM In Blogging

Due to getting loaded late on Friday with a heavy load I am stuck waiting for over weight permits to run this heavily armored military truck down to Camp Lejuene, NC.

I am checked into a hotel on the WI/IL border and this afternoon I wandered into the hotel lounge. I had some enjoyable conversations with a few locals and hotel guests and was having an enjoyable time until this one lady came in and for some reason took an instant dislike to me.

I have no idea what I might have said or done to make this woman dislike me but shortly after she came in she started to call me "Lucifer".

Well, I'll admit I am far from perfect, and I am certainly no angel, but Lucifer? Well, ok, I guess I can be a bit devilish, but I don't think the name Lucifer quite applies, does it?

After a bit I got to thinking about it and decided that from now on that is how I'll introduce myself in bars. What the heck, I think it's kind of amusing. Most of the time I introduce myself as "Sam", which is the first three letters of my real name reversed. After some thought I think "Lucifer" might prove amusing.

Geez, the things we find to amuse ourselves...

My goodness I was past time catching up with you  Handcuffs, sneaking or not, smoke bans and Lucifer and you try to convince us your life is dull.  

 

It is great to see you posting again and I hope that means you are feeing better with the back and all.  Have a safe rest of your journey and see you next time.  Stay cool.

Thanks. Except for some twinges of arthritis am generally feeling pretty good.

I always thought the Devil's real name was Sam?

Mason,

I don't often post on your blogs but I always read them.

Well, I'll admit I am far from perfect, and I am certainly no angel, but Lucifer?

Exactly.

To me, you look more like a Sam type person than a Lucifer one!

Your article reminded me of my son. When he was in high school, someone told him to go by the name Demon and so he went with it as he was new in the school and wanted friends.  Well, with a name like that, it seems as though trouble followed him for these "friends" were constantly in trouble. Now at 22, he's a bit more mature and thankfully dropped both the friends and the name game.

Ha! You and I know that but try telling that to teenagers.
