henry rollins
so i'm one day into my vacation. and on the eve of my vacation, i go to fort reno park and as i'm walking to the stage i see someone sitting on the stairs who looks like...well he looks familiar and i think 'naaaaaaw'. and i get closer and i'm looking for tell tale signs like the misfits tattoo on his lower arm (couldn't remember which one 'tho) and the black flag tattoo on the back of his neck. so i'm playing it all casual, dividing the schedules and ian comes over and says hello and finally the sitter turns and i DO infact see the black flag tattoo on the back of his neck so my brain starts freaking out and saying henryrollinshenryrollinshenryrollinshenryrollinshenryrollins. henry rollins. at which point all i want to do is call holly clark in kalamazoo and tell her because she's the only one who could appreciate this but all that really happens is my eyeballs fly out of their sockets and gideon the lovely volunteer says 'am i doing something wrong' and i say no no no no. you're golden. i just......had a moment of realization and he said "oh, yeah" and totally got what i was saying. and now in retrospect: 1. his neck is not so big. which maybe gives me hope that my little brother will not grow into a withered old man with a big neck. 2. he has the presence of a man who is 6'8 3. he is maybe 5'4. maaaaaaybe 5'5 4. listening to henry rollins tell skateboarding stories (particularly ones where ian m. wipes out so bad it scares him) is a fanTAStic way to start your summer vacation. i wonder if i still have the pictures of him from details magazine that i hung on my walls in college.
