Welcome to "So there I was, in the Congo" the new blog documenting the life and times of me, Byron. I think that it is appropriate to start off this page with an explanation of the title. It all started when I would have nothing to say or wanted to say something ridiculous to come back to a previously made ridiculous comment. It started off as just "So there I was, in the Congo", but soon it started to take shape as it's own little story. Soon it morphed into "So there I was, the Congo. My gun was drawn. Charlie was all around". This became a little more intriguing so people wanted to know what happened in the battle between me and "Charlie". Then started the real stories, completely ficticious accounts about my time with Charlie in the Congo, sometimes they would be tied into what was really happening sometimes, not. One such story went some thing like this:
" So there I was, in the Congo. My gun was drawn. Charlie was all around. We took to the trees for cover but before we knew it we were surrounded. Being as we had no hope of surviving in the trees, we ran branch to branch like some sick cross between Tarzan, some Swiss Family member Robinson, and a retarded ring-tailed lemur. We dove into the river in hopes of evading our hunters but we were dismayed to find a new foe, a giant Anaconda. This was very disheartening. So out of the river we went onto the banks of the other side thinking we finally had some solace. And then the monkeys came."
For some reason that I am not quite sure of "And then the monkeys came." just sounds ominous. This is a short summary of how I have amused myself and hopefully others in those lulls in conversation. If this has amused you and you would like more please come back and visit. Thanks for playing.
