i met an amazing person today.....her name is Spyder (i doubt thats her real name but its what she told me)....i was wasting another day away playing solitaire at work when what looked like a feeble old lady was walking into the store.....at first glance i wouldve guessed she was easily 60, the way she was walking slightly bent over with a cane walking slowly to the front door....when she got closer i noticed tons of tattoos and a very hipster look to her and to my surprise she was very cute.....after asking for a few random very obscure selections the music conversation went into geek mode and i found out she really knew her shit....classic hip hop (the good shit not the crap they put out now), early punk (husker du, queers, gorilla buscuits), and the greats (elvis costello, talking heads, blondie)....come to find out shes only in her mid 30's......she's toured nationally in performing arts and having her art shown in galleries....she went to an art high school and has a degree in art....both of her parents were involved in art and film on higher levels.....and this beautiful girl, with awesome talent, and killer tastes in music has a brain that is swelling and can barely move or function most of the time....she has MS and has moved back to this small town to basically relax in peace until her condition changes for better or worse.....we talked for almost two hours about music and art and life.....we exchanged numbers and i promised to call and talk music (she said she stays up late a lot b/c its hard to sleep sometimes with the pain).....and i will call.....and i will go to hang out and listen to what she described as one of the greatest vynil collections ever.....when she left, she gave me a huge hug and i could see the tears in her eyes and i can't describe how it felt and give it justice....seeing that look in her eyes made me feel like when you're watching a really good movie and you're super into it and youre on the verge of crying and your heart is beating really hard....yeah thats how i felt....like it was something that was supposed to happen to me....like she knows something that im supposed to know or learn from her.....ive been very humbled by her already and im interested in seeing where this goes....im going to research the condition a little so i better understand what she's going through....i have really good feelings about this and im looking forward to talking to her again
