[ed:
Ridley Thunder is not the real name of the gentleman who wrote this guest post and currently writes the "I am f**king 1000 dollar bills" blog. However, it should be, as next to "Justice Gray" this is pretty much the coolest name anyone has ever had. While Ridley is not a technical blogger he is a) hilarious and b) posts a picture of a naked or half-naked woman accompanying every single post he makes, thereby guaranteeing him being worth a look. Ridley was actually the original inspiration for my getting into blogging a couple of years back, which means that
a) this blog has come full circle with this guest post
b) now you all know who is truly to blame for my becoming a sexual hero to millions of North and South Americans.]"There was a time..." Gandhi said that once. Or Bruce Willis, I don't
know. But there was a time where believe it or not I did NOT know
Justice Gray. I distinctly remember that era as "High School." I
remember hanging around with the wrong crowd, scrounging money for
things like Image's many alternate cover comic books and CDs of Kriss
Kross (they made me wanna jump, jump). I couldn't find a date if I had
many calendars. I was so gameless that if a girl was bent over and
sighing "GIVE IT TO ME RIDLEY" I don't think I would know WHAT to give
to her. Then I graduated, as virgin as the white snow of cocaine my
uncles imported from "the madreland." Then
.....Justice happened (actually it's more like
Suresh happened, then Justice happened through a happening of a happen, but I digress)
I clearly remember his first words to me:
"Come with me...."
"Where?" I asked
"We'll travel through infinity"
Little did
I know that "infinity" meant his collections of Transformers dolls.
Nevertheless seeing a gigantic Megatron was pretty kick ass. But
because of this fateful meeting my life would be forever altered. I had
countless of viewings of the original Transformers Movie, which still
brings a tear to my eye. Not because of the movie mind you but because
Justice beat me with a belt fashioned out of an old Optimus Prime
figure every time I finished watching it, screaming "WATCH IT AGAIN!
When Optimus dies, CRY HARDER!" Sort of like A Clockwork Orange without
the cool gang suits. A year later Justice would teach me what piece
fits the with the other piece IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. That's right,
Tetris! Justice forced me to play Virtua Tennis until my hands were
bleeding, then cackled every time he beat me. He would quiz me with
innane trivia like "If you have to pick one Autobot to have sex with,
who would it be? Ironhide or Jazz?!" Then he scolded me because I would
chose Ironhide, "
WHAT ARE YOU? RACIST!?" I don't know what that MEANS.
After a while I moved out of the country to try to get away
from Justice, but he just kept emailing and emailing and emailing me.
Even after I blocked him, he hacked his way in. He even bribed the
police to laugh at me every time I reported him (who knew the UK Police
Dept were such MacBookphiles). I really think he became a computer
programmer so he could continue to hack his way into my email and send
me viruses every time I didn't fill out one of his 100 question "Get to
Know me better" emails. Every question ended with a sly nod to him
being "Supremely awesome", like take question 95 of this email "So who
is your SECOND most supremely awesome person in your life? a) It's just
Justice Gray and only Justice Gray b) Do you really want another Trojan
Horse?
So like a beat puppy I limped my way back into the fold. But
then Justice got married, started a blog, and taught me
how to play
poker. Which I kick ass in by the way. Now I finally live a normal
life. This is 8 years afterwards. The lesson in all of this? Well in
between the 8 years of torment I graduated from University, got a sweet
gig, wrote a sweet blog, made some sweet love, and have some sweet
friends. So you too can also survive with Justice Gray in your life,
just like me.
Except you will be better at poker.
