I told my good ol' Friend Joey Cirignani that I would write a blog post about him. I know he might be a little modest about the idea, but he secretly really wants it.
I remember a local Wheeling Show happening around February time when I was not in a very good mood. It happened to be the day after my girlfriend first broke up with me and it fell right after a long 8 hour miserable shift at work. So, I was mentally, physically and verbally worn out at this time. I felt like shit, I felt like a mess. That was the day I remember crying, truely crying in public between two of the greatest enemies in my high school.
I walked in the middle of a Skankenstein set and Joey was saying something to me over the microphone, but I completely ignored him like the asshole I am. Not because I didn't like him or anything, but I just couldn't hear him since my thoughts were blasting my eardrums. And I only met this kid like once or twice before. My mind was outside, focused on 'her' sitting outside besides 'her' ex. This was the first time I saw Skankenstein perform and I was zoning in and out.
After the set, Joey came up to me and wondered if I had heard him, and I told him I didn't. I apologized. I wasn't making sense that day and was out of it. But he was totally understanding and chill about the whole thing. I didn't appreciate this until like 2 weeks after it happened.
That was it for a while. We really didn't talk all that much. That was until that April-ish when I was hanging out with Kayla that she confessed her secret crush on Joey. This is when I really got involved. I became closer friends with Joey and got to know a little bit more about him. That is when I labeled him as the 'perfect-human-this-world-has-ever-seen-so-far.'
I've told him probably my most darkest secrets and personal stories that I have never really told anyone. I realize that he is just a good listener and a fantastic person to relate to. I remember telling him that he is going to be my best man at my wedding. AND I MEAN IT JOEY I WILL FIGHT YOU!
Bottom Line: If you haven't met Joey Cirignani then...well, I'm Sorry. And if you have then I'm sure all of you would agree.
