Today has been quite a weird day for me. Weird, cos I truly do not know how to define it. I went to work and I didn't feel like working, but I didn't have anything to work upon. So that made me sick that I do not have anything to work upon and I wanted to work on something. By afternoon I began to get this headache in the back of my head. My 5pm I left work so that I can be home and get the house all cleaned up and prepare for the big encounter day.
By about 7.10pm, Captain walked in with his Mrs. with a very warm smile after looking at me. He shook hands and greeted me and so did his wife. His wife is really adorable. We hit it off right from the start. Captain looked tough, more tougher than in his pictures. He got in and sat on the cough getting comfortable after the journey and told me, "You look so different from your pictures. You are more heavier than I thought you to be." I didn't have an answer for that, so just nod politely thinking in my head, 'wow that was quite direct.' We all continued talking for some more time and 10 mins later he looks at me and goes again, "I still can't get over the fact that you are so much more heavier than your pictures." Then he pointed out to my brother and asked me, "Can you becoome like him?" I told him, "No sir, that's boring.. I am a man full of surprises". To which he laughed, I thought he was being polite. He was quite impressed with my brother I could tell. He constantly kept on asking him about what he did and stuff.
Some time later, we began discussing about music, and he asked about my album, so I offered to play them the songs from my (to be released) debut album, 'No More Delays'. The album starts off with a punk track. Not really quite what he wanted to listen to, but he loved my voice. He couldn't believe it was me singing. He inquired about the song writing & recording process. After skipping through a few tracks he came to 'Worthy' which is my first song ever, which I wrote when I was 18 years old. He was mesmerized by 'Worthy'. 'Worthy' was the only track from the album (besides 'True Love') that he heard completely. Right after the song was over he clapped, applauding the song and said it was at par with International Standards and he really loved it. From then on, I saw he was a lil different. He began to take more seriously and began to find me interesting. And he told me, "you are quite a man of surprises."
After that we came back to the living room and had dinner. After dinner he told us about him. He told us his life story. Then he told us a little about Amy and how she told him about me. He told us about his concerns he had and then concluded with saying he was happy with me. We discussed a bit about when & where should the wedding and engagement be? All in all it was a beautiful time with him. Something that I figured about Captain was, everything I thought about him or the perception I had about him was so wrong. He is a very genuine person, quite straight forward and to the point, a very disciplined man but he also has a perfect comic timing and is quite funny. So well... yeah that went quite well.. :)
P.S. They got us a souvenir and some food stuff from down south :)
