The Shack Attack

I never thought that when I played M.A.S.H. as a kid and ended with the "S" that I would really be living in a shack when I grew up but I did. I'm just waiting for my kids, wife, and vehicle now. Come on Debbie Gibson!

Even though I lived in a shack, I had it hooked up early millennium style which means it had Internet (AOL 5.0), projection video games (PS2 and N64) and a sink. It was a beautiful place to live.

I used to be in a christian rock band. Ironically, I got kicked out for dating a catholic. At least that's what I was told. Eventually I was let back into the band. The members of the band included Conrad, Pungu, X, Jazz, and Fred.

After being kicked out, I went on with my "so called life". I befriended Pungu's then ex-GF Jade Stone because, well, she was cool.

I want to stress that WE WERE ONLY FRIENDS despite what anyone else might say. This bit of information is important.

When Pungu found out that her and I were friends he didn't like it. He didn't like it so much that one night when I was chillin' in my shack watching television, he came over to let me know how much he didn't like it.

I heard from Conrad this part of the story:

Pungu - I'm gonna go over to Rian's "house" and talk to him. Come with me.

Conrad (while looking in a mirror) - Ok dude I will go with you and make sure nothing crazy goes down

I hear a knock on my door and when I open it, there is Pungu and Conrad.

For some reason, Conrad let's himself in, jumps on my bed and starts watching TV. Not before looking into the mirror to check his hair.

Then the fireworks start.

Pungu was pretty upset. He told me a lot of things that night and accused me of a lot of things that weren't true also. Then.......

Pungu - Why are you smiling? You think this is funny? I'll kick your a$$ right now.

Rian - Whatever dude. You know what, I don't need you disrespecting me in my own house dude. You need to leave.

Pungu - I'm not gonna leave. You're lucky I don't kick your a$$ dude.

Keep in my ladies and gentlemen, Pungu would have laid me out that night. I'm not a fighter by any means.

Rian - Dude, you need to leave. Get out of here.

At that point Pungu decides to spare my life and leaves. Conrad was still laying on my bed and I look over to him:

Rian - You need to get the hell out of here too.

Conrad (Cuba Gooding style in Boyz In The Hood with a tear in his eye) - I didn't even do nothing.

Rian - You're here with him aren't you? Get out.

Poor Conrad was the biggest innocent bystander since Biggie Smalls.

It took Pungu and I an "it's been long enough" to get over that drama.

We are now BFFs again.

No PLOPs in this story. Just mended hearts.
