A Much Simpler Time...

Flashback...The date is April 20, 2010

I wake up as if it were any other day. I wake up and make myself a cup of joe, turn on the TV and settle into my favorite chair to watch one and a half hours of live Sportscenter before I actually start my day. Outside birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and the initials of my name are not tarnished by an inherently evil oil company..."BP"

Living life was much simpler before this past April 20th. Every now and again when I would meet a casual stranger and introduce myself as Brent P. they would say "OH Like the Gas Station" as they chuckled retardedly. However, since the spill has taken place much harsher reactions have come my way. Just the other day at work a lady told me her and initials were BP, I sighed and said "yeah unfortunately mine are too" , no longer than a second had passed when a complete stranger looked me in the eye and told me I was un-American. My stomach sank, my life and dreams were crushed....

To the man that told me I was un-American, Fuck You! I couldn't control what the company that shared my initials did. I wish things were different, I really do. Anyways...the well is capped, the Braves are in first place, and John Daly is playing bad ass golf. Let's put this oil thing in the past.

So next time you hear the initials "BP" think of how awesome F2DR is, or your favorite Brad Pitt movie. Just stop hating me.
