A Little Loyalty Would Be Nice

Before I start this post I am going to quote a text my brother got from someone about the last post (“Curry”): “Best blog post I have ever seen. Ever. the last one your brother put just blew my mind” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US0AsCuvfF8.. Now on to the topic at hand:

A few years ago there were Geico commercials that featured cavemen. There was one where one of the cavemen caved, no pun intended, and bought Geico insurance. Another caveman told him that “a little loyalty would be nice.” (The particular commercial is at the 1:45 mark:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F3qzfTCDG4).

For whatever reason, that line has always stuck in my mind. Anytime me or my brother gets stabbed in the back or screwed over a little bit, we always say “a little loyalty would be nice.” The reason that this came to mind is because my sister had a dawat (party) a few weeks ago (not the one mentioned in the other post) and since all of her friends were coming, she told us to stay in the basement. We were like cool, just send some food down, but she said, “You guys can eat after the party.” It ended at 12:30. There was good food too. A little loyalty would be nice.

In honor of the Geico Cavemen, here is a list of instances where a little loyalty would be nice from my life and some of relatives’ lives in no particular order.

• Once me and my cousin were playing football. I accidently pushed off of him when going for the ball and he fell and cut his face on the driveway. Till this day he has a scar. Since it was an accident, he was cool about it. When his dad asked what happened, he played it off and said that he tripped. His dad bought the excuse but then his little brother yelled, “That’s not what happened!” and proceeded to tell the real story. Snitch. A little loyalty would be nice.
• My brothers and cousins are big Titans fans. This year the Titans were playing the Jaguars, one of their biggest rivals, on Monday night. The Titans were killing them. My cousin said he felt sorry for the Jags. He has since made many other comments about the Jaguars about how he sympathizes with them. A little loyalty would be nice.
• My uncle has worked for Nissan for decades. As a result, everyone in our extended family drives Nissans. My uncle is constantly hyping their cars, telling people to buy this or that. Then my aunt went and bought a Suburban. A little loyalty would be nice.
• Me and some dude had an argument. It got heated, but it was separated. The guy must have outweighed me by 100 pounds. A few days later, him and some of his boys came up to me and started talking smack again. My friend was with me and he was like “Don’t worry, I got you.” He dipped. I got rocked. A little loyalty would be nice.
• My brother was working on a lab in Physics. His partner, who happened to be one of his friends, had an assignment due in another class. Everyone knows that physics is a hard class, and so it helps to have a couple of people working on the lab together. Apparently, my brother’s friend didn’t agree with the previous statement because he asked to go to the bathroom, instead went to the library, and finished his assignment. A little loyalty would be nice.
• My friend invited me out to eat and said “Don’t worry. I got this.” When it came time to pay, it turned out he forgot his wallet. It’s happened multiple times. A little loyalty would be nice.
• Every time we are traveling with my parents and we have to stop for gas, they ask us if we want to get some candy, chips, drink, etc. We never ask ourselves, but if they offer, we’re not gonna refuse. But now, my dad decided to stop at Costco every time we go on a trip. (This will be expanded on in the next story). Costco has no convenience store, so obviously no snacks. A little loyalty would be nice.
• My dad loves the Costco gas station. He will drive 10 miles to fill up gas there and to save a total of like two or three dollars. He loves it so much that we have relatives that live about 200 miles away. We visit them pretty often. After about 100 miles, a new Costco was built off one of the exits. He will without fail stop there and fill the gas. But when we went last weekend, he waited until we got to our destination and filled up at a random gas station there. Costco called and said that “A little loyalty would be nice.”
• I visited my cousins in Chicago. Before I could even put my bags down, someone volunteered me to paint a room, move furniture up and down the stairs, and basically be a day laborer.  A little loyalty would be nice.
• Many times when my brothers go to Chicago, I’m not able to go because of work, school, other commitments. My brothers tell me that every time they meet anyone, the first thing they always ask is where I’m at. A little loyalty would be nice.
