Car Talk


Have you ever noticed some of the most natural conversations occur in the car? The final moments together, wrapping things up and then starting all over. Random thoughts and stories. I was out with some friends last night. We went to a basketball game. Small talk here and there - focus on the game, of course (not to be distracted from the game by bad pompom dancers, naked men with painted bellies, cute little girls in cowgirl boots, security on the rafters with dogs). It wasn't until we were saying our goodbyes that conversation ran off. We talked about stolen vehicles eh hem, criminals, movies, foreign films, morality, barbie doll and the trouble she got herself into back in the day and webcams. It wasn't until we realized there were just 10 minutes to mid-night that we acutally departed. I've had countless hours of conversations with friends in the dark of my car - no background music, no distractions just sharing and analyzing. It's crazy that you can spend an evening not saying much and then with the hand on the door, hours of entertainment.
