Are you going to the FTSK show?

Just a simple text from Tina. All it was suppose to be. Nothing more, nothing less, no deep meaning beyond what it was meant to be. Just a question.

“Are you going to the FTSK show?”

Simple and nothing more. Of course this is not what I’m writing about, so the answer of irrelevance . But that sends us into a conversation of much bigger topics.

Who would have known that auto correct on my phone would turn “yuppers” into “tippers”, and that’s where we begin. Of course Tina being Tina thought for a second that “tippers” was and A&M thing, which of course it’s not.

So I respond with, “Well I never. *ha imagine that in a pretty thick southern accent* We just have Gig ‘em, howdy…and…uhm I guess those are the most popular”

Then again we live in Texas and according to Tina everyone here says that, but of course I object and say not here in the valley. Because we’re awesome and Mexican we do the nod, or as Tina refers to it “an upside down nod

Then she adds of course, because she’s Tina freaking Jo and she darn well can, that here the guys get the ugly Mexican fauxhawk.

Which got me thinking of how someone goes about getting this so-called ugly Mexican fauxhawk. And it goes a little like this:

It’s like they go into a barber shop and do the upside down nod and BAM! Mexican fauxhawk. The End.

This then gets me thinking of what I want to see. As in the world kind of perspective so to speak. So I came up with what Tina described as beautiful.

I want to travel the world, and see what they hate about their country or place they live in. All people want to see the world, but they want all that beautiful crap. Capturing just those heart melting moments. I want the funny, the ridiculous. Not something others have seen. See them laugh about what makes where they live uniquely annoying. The kind of conversation that starts with, “Oh you think you got it bad, wait till I tell you about…”

Just a simple question, a pathless conversation, and the annoyingly beautiful auto correct.
