Introducing My Posse

While we were on our honeymoon i came up with the idea that I should form a posse. Now the purpose of this posse would just to hang out and have each other's backs. it wouldn't to be real intimidating, just relaxing and having a good time. I was very careful in who i let into the posse. each person serve's their own purpose and no one else brings what they do. But i also had to careful who i let in, since i couldn't let people in with personalities that would desire to overshadow me. That doesn't mean the people don't have outgoing personalities, but they are all ok with sort of taking a backseat. so here's my posse!

Leah- plays the role of 'magirl'. the other people are allowed to have their own 'magirls', but they can't be apart of the posse. Leah's job is to be faithful and by my side through it all. that is unless i was to prove myself to be insane and waaaay too obsessive.

Big, Fat, Bald Guy- This was a guy that sat at our table at a comedy/mystery dinner theater that Leah and I went to on our honeymoon. This guy had the coolest laugh and laughed at everything. he would be the guy that laughed at everything i said and generally made everyone feel good.

Big, Old Guy- this guy was someone we bumped into at Williamsburg. He looked like he was old and out of it. I was sitting next to him and it looked like he was incapable of really processing what was going on. Then out of no where he started to crack jokes about what was going on and he kept coming up with more. He would be the old guy who has walked the block a few times and was a little cynical about things.

Ricky White- ricky is an 8th grader in my small group. he would be around to be the 'protege' and to just do stupid things that would make everyone laugh. He would get us drinks when we were thirsty and make us laugh with the weird things he does.

David Ortiz- he would be the jovial big guy that would have our backs. Kinda the big loveable guy that would bring the muscles to the group. he would also cook for us sometimes.

Alice Cooper- now before some of the 'old fogies' read this one and flip a lid, let me explain. this guy is a christian now. Paul, a guy on staff with me, met him at his church when the Master's Chorale when there. I had heard that he had gotten saved, but didn't think too much of it. But Paul said the guy was totally solid. But Alice wouldn't be a regular member of the posse since he probably has plenty to do. He would be more a 'friend of the posse' that would hang out once in awhile and give us hook ups since he has plenty of connections.

Jason Varitek- he would be the hard working guy in the posse. when i needed someone to count on to get the job done, i'd count on Varitek.

There are other guys i'd like to have in my posse, like Doc Holliday, but he drinks too much. Then i'd like to have Willow in my posse, but his role is already taken by Ricky. Batman would be a connection of ours, another guy to have our back, but i don't think he'd be too fun to hang out with on a regular basis.

Instead of the old cynical guy from Williamsburg (who you just met, I might add), you could have your very own Matt Camillieri (who you have known for years...and he liked you even when you were in Jr. Hi)! He can outwit and outcynical the best of them. Of course, with the requirement that no one be wittier than you, Matt may be eliminated. Would he be willing to stay a step behind? Anyone else have ideas for Tim's posse?

I think that Tim had WAAY too much time to think while he was on the honeymoon! How many people would come up with that idea!!
Posse, what could Phil do? :)

Phil "created" his OWN posse! Nobody could "watch his back" better and Cabot brings a unique element to any conversation. ;)

Hey Tim, another thought...where's Beth in your posse? Very few could bring out the premier silly in you they way she can. Of course, all that physical activity and those biology lectures may not be "just the ticket" for you. [Get it? "that's the ticket"? See, even I can remember a movie line or two.]

Matt can have Beth, I don't think that Wendy would want to be in a posse!

I think that line is from an old movie, probably black and white ;)I don't remember it either Tim... Sorry!;)

And since your Mom said Phil couldn't be in your posse, well, I think he is hurt! So, watch out the posse on this side of town is growing in full force! :)

How's your Lady Leah?

Why do I have to be in somebody else's posse? I could definately have my own posse, and I nominate Matt as my wise-cracking side kick. Matt and Tim couldn't be in the same posse since this blog entry sounds like it is ghost-written by Matt- too similar to be in the same group. Just in case I don't get around to starting my own, I would like to offer my science factoids and my ability to work genetalia, gonads and/or sex into most conversations- very useful.

OK, let's think who would be in Beth's posse...

She could fill the roles of "muscle" and "hard-working guy" herself. She'd need a Ricky-type member...any ideas? And she better have Lindsey on board to cover her back - both legal AND muscle [need I remind you of the woman's viselike grip potential, as exhibited at the wedding!]

And I think Phil's posse better have a doctor and registered nurse!

girls 'could' have a posse, but it'd just get too confusing. people would be too concerned about everyone's feelings and it definately wouldn't offer the same protection and security that my posse offers. girls just can't have cool posses. they just end up like a babysitter's club or a bunch of middle aged bitter women who just gossip and complain.

When did you EVER consider your sister or Linds to fit those categories?!? They've always been "one of the guys", who were gracious enough to let YOU hang around with them sometimes, as I recall. They've never been "girlie" girls. [OK, maybe a giggle or two here or there.]
And you KNOW how I've always felt about those "Babysitters Club" books!! Anathema!

Hey,
Beth is right. This is beginning to sound very much like Matt is ghost writing your blog! Either you two are being subversive or you are mind melding...that's an X-Filish kinda thought! The truth is out there! [Do TV lines count as much as movie lines do?]

OK, Phil can have Sarah in his posse, but that would make 2 girls in the posse... Is there really a rule that you can only have 1 girl Tim? I think that if Beth and Lindsey are in the same posse then we oh I mean Phil can have Sarah, that covers the nurse... As for a doctor... what about George Clooney? he has brains right? :)
And while we are on more than one girl in the posse... Cheryl is quick with those needles, so Beth should have her too, sort of a "charlies angels" thing...
And I concur, Matt must be the ghost writer, Tim has too many other thngs on his mind these days... ;)

yeah, because matt would put people like david ortiz, jason varitek and alice cooper in his posse.

if a 'posse' has more girls than it just can't be referred to as a 'posse'. it can be a 'club' or a 'sorority'. the reason there needs to be only one girl is because of the status symbol of the one girl. the one girl is always the leader's girl. she's the one that supports him and sticks by his side. you didn't the rat pack running around with all kinds of girls in their posse. sure, they exploited women everywhere they went, but the women weren't apart of the pack.
