Sci Fi Story

My Mother and Father went to a movie for their Honeymoon. It was the movie "The Sound of Music". There is a song in the movie with the phrase, "Maria, I just met a girl named, Maria." Anyways, in real life, I just got a text message from a girl named Maria." Its a small world. Maria and I go way back, we've known each other for years. Maria was living in Louisiana, when I first moved down here. The last time I saw her, I was down here for an interview, and I went to visit her near Memphis, Tennessee. She had tickets to see Brooks and Dunn. We had a great time. Its almost scary when you stop and think about it. Brooks and Dunn have a song, "My Maria".

Now, back a couple of entries ago I wrote some bizarre things about soul collection. Maria was a very close friend of Peter G. Peter G. had cancer and died in his youth. He was a terrific athelete, and the community was in mourning. His funeral was the first time I'd heard the poem, On an Athelete Dying Young. It would be my favorite for many years. When I went to his funeral I fainted. I was mortified. I had been kneeling for so long I had collapsed. I fell back and smacked my head on the pew. I only remember looking up and seeing the faces of my father, and several cute girls from the large group of family friends looking down on me. I was so ashamed I began crying. I was maybe 12 or 13. When I went to the same highschool as Peter G. and Maria. When I was a sophomore, I was awarded a small scholarship. It was the Peter G. Memorial Football scholarship. I was nowhere near as good as he was. It was a huge honor to recieve this.
