Semi-Regular..that's me

Another day another disappointment..I just heard this morning that the Royal Wedding Guest List was passed on to the media..and I'm not invited..well, neither are you so don't look so smug...K? But it just reminds me off all the things I've never been invited to on my path down Life's Highway. A Brisk..not like the lemon tea, but the Jewish ceremony. Hey look! I have some experience with this. I'm not "officially Jewish" but I grew up in Forest Hills New York( and circumcision is like the first thing I remember...., well, not really I remember the Breast..but My Mum said she didn't breast feed us ..so I guess I'm ..jesus! that's another blog for another time...gasp)
), and all of my first encounters with females were of the Jewish persuasion, and I know from that...these are some serious people. I once decided to become a Jew because I was in love with Sheila Burnstein. Her Mom, Mrs Burnstein..(I don't know what her first name was 'cause she scared the shit outta me, and besides I was 16 and she was...ancient, so why would I know such things?)said if I really, truly love Sheila, I would become a Jew! So! In my Irish Catholic Brain I said..."Uhm,...OK,..Cool" Now to make a long story short..I told my Dad( Hey Dad! How 'bout those fuckin' Mets? Uhm, like' I got this Jew thing goin' on, and like I'm gonna see a Rabbi, because there's this Girl?..you know Sheila who I really ,uhm, I dig ya know? And her Mom say's I gotta be a Jew to, uhm,..like I dunno..but I really like her...) and for the first time in my life he said He might "Kill Me"...and if this "Notion" ever got back to "Mum" it would truly become a reality( The death part)..and "Where would your body like to lie?" Anyway, I went to see the Rabbi, and he said if I were serious, about the changing to Jewish Thing, I would cut my hair first thing..before the changing of religion and stuff. Now I'm like in a freakin' Band "The Stormers" and have grown my Beautiful , beautiful Beatle Locks.This was a battle unto itself with my Father..My Beautiful long hair is how I met the Lovely Sheila..I was in a Band, With Long Hair! Fuck that!..So..I latter found out that Sheila was dating some Navy Dude and would have dropped me anyway..Newly Jewish or not, but that leads me back to my question, I never have been invited to a Brisk ( not the Ice Tea).. I just think as someone whose lost "IT" before, and understand the consequences of the circumcision I can address the Artistic merits of a steady Hand..and Long Hair.. and not being Irish Catholic,,,but not in that order.
