About meit is difficult to describe yourself, so here is what a close friend had to say:
Grant Carlson will swerve to miss a cat and jump at the chance to pet a dog. If it suits his mysterious master plan, Grant Carlson will sit motionless for days on end. Grant Carlson thinks DVDs are a fad, and he's right. Grant Carlson is your best friend. He will be there for you when the chips are down. He will spend long hours on the phone with your sobbing self. Grant Carlson will read your eulogy and then set up a scholarship fund for troubled teens in your name. Grant Carlson will cry when he thinks about all you might have done with your life. When hope is lost and things fall apart you will pray to God and Grant Carlson will be there, snatching your prayers as they float into the ether like he's catching fish in the river of sorrow. He will unfold each prayer and carefully read it, then laugh and rain pestilence, famine, and war down upon us all, for you. Grant Carlson enjoys miniature golf…theoretically. Grant Carlson has a promising career as a computer repair technician at Circuit City. Grant Carlson manages a successful chain of donut stores in Malaysia, and he hates you for being fat. When he's sleeping Grant Carlson is just like the rest of us, except his dreams can kill. Grant Carlson is addicted to purchasing show ponies and he's not afraid to admit it. When a tree falls in the forest Grant Carlson is there, no matter what, to hear it fall. Grant Carlson can levitate at will but chooses to walk for the exercise. Grant Carlson predicted the last big Earthquake in Japan by looking at the surface of the moon through binoculars. If you ask him Grant Carlson can tell you how long you have left to live, but only because he shoots everyone who asks him with a revolver as a joke. Disco is not dead, at least in Grant Carlson’s apartment it isn't. Grant Carlson has forgotten more about martial arts than you will ever know. You can only see Grant Carlson out of the corner of your eye. If you try to focus on him he dances out of sight like a hummingbird. Grant Carlson has journeyed to the center of the earth and befriended the blind cave gnomes that live there. Grant Carlson has waged ceaseless, full scale war on hemlines. Grant Carlson once climbed to the top of Mount Everest and then took a nap. Grant Carlson has lobbied long and hard to legalize shrink rays. There are few things in this world more comforting than a hug from Grant Carlson, and one of them is a kiss from Grant Carlson.
Close your eyes and imagine a place far away from the tumult of the world around you. Travel deep inside yourself to this place, a quiet refuge that only you know about. Concentrate on every detail of this place. The way the air smells, the temperature, the feel of the floor beneath your feet. Grant Carlson knows about this place, and he mops this place for you.
We live in some crazy times, all of this is true.
