"Straight Right"

...ever heard of it?


Neither had I until tonight.


Here's the story:


We went to Wal-Mart after church and while Heath was checking out I went to the "red box" to get us a movie. (if you have never heard of the red box at Wal-Mart....let me just tell you it's a genius idea that someone has come up with. You get a movie, new releases even, for $1!! It's only for one night, but they only charge you a dollar if it's late, so it's still cheaper than going somewhere else. AND you can get it at any Wal-Mart and bring them back to any of them also.)

So, I'm standing there going through the movies (looking for "P.S. I LOVE YOU" and they were out...go figure!) on the screen and some guy comes up behind me and says, "Get Straight Right. It's a good movie. Go click on it and look at it."


I turn around quickly thinking I would find someone I knew trying to be funny or something. Not such the case. It was some random guy I had never seen before. I turn right back around thinking it's just some guy trying to flirt or something. I kind of just laughed and kept looking. Well I came across the page that the movie was on. He says, "There it is. Click on it. Get it, it's really good."


So I click on it and I give him a really strange look. I said, "I don't like movies like this. Let me guess, it's about boxing?? I really don't like movies like that,sorry. Why do you want me to get it so bad?"


He just smiled and said,"Well, that's me."


What? No way. I'm standing here with a movie star. A movie star just came up to me. And I just told him I didn't like the kind of movie he made. How rude was that! I felt/feel bad!


So after some small talk I find out that he is from L.A. and moved out here because he had kids and they didn't want to raise them in L.A. (which I highly admire them for!) and they came to Bentonville and opened their own gym. He was really nice and didn't seem conceded at all.


It was just a really strange occurrence that will probably never happen to me again. But I thought it was pretty neat. (even though it's not a huge movie, it's still a movie that you can rent from Wal-Mart and I'm sure the movie stores!)

This is him, Brent Smith.
