Well That Was Interesting

I was telling Shaft yesterday that I’m beginning to feel that I’m not giving my Disclosure speeches the attention they deserve … I really don’t think much at all before giving the speech now … and though they are all a bit different these days … for the most part, I just start and let it go.

Shaft says that it’s because I’m getting better at giving them and that I’ve gotten to the point of acceptance where their reaction to what I’m telling them is no longer so important to me that I’d delay or stay my plans if it was a bad reaction … I’m simply telling them information.

Since Shaft’s opinion makes me sound better … I’m going to embrace his conclusion. 🙂 But just between you and me … maybe I rely on my extemporaneous speaking skills a bit too much …

Anyways … I was out of town yesterday defending a client accused of yet another heinous crime … and I was pretty much on my game … so I was feeling sparky upon my return … and I had previously told Tenant that I wanted to talk with him when I got back from court … so I got back into the office a bit after 5:00 p.m. and Tenant was packing up for the day. So I say … “Dude, we’re supposed to talk, you said you’d be here until 6:00 p.m.“. And he’s like … “I said 5:00-ish.” … and I’m like “No … I don’t think so, let’s talk.”

And his office door is then shut.

We exchange some mild pleasantries first, and then I decide to start talking the talk, and still feeling a bit sparky and playful … commence by saying …

“Dude, here’s the scoop … I have two pills here … a blue one and a red one. You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake up in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes…… All I am offering is the truth. Nothing more. If you take the Red Pill your life will never again be the same. ”

Tenant laughs …

Laughs heartily …

Reclines back in his office chair and says …

“Yeah right dude, what are you going to tell me, you’re going to have a sex change?”

ROFLMAO

No kidding !!

Those were his exact words.

So I said …

“Yeah dude, that’s exactly what I’m going to tell you.”

Of course, he told me to go ph myself a few times, thinking I was just gooning him … but within moments I began spewing forth my clinical disclosure blah blah blah … and an hour and twenty minutes later … we shook hands and he gave me a hug. He was incredibly cool throughout, shocked of course, speechless more than once, but supportive and asked some really good questions. It was a really good experience and I’m thankful he’s a friend.

But that’s not what I’m going to be remembering about that Disclosure for the rest of my life …

No … not at all … for the remainder of my days … I’m always going to smile and laugh when thinking of his words …

“Yeah right dude, what are you going to tell me, you’re going to have a sex change?”
