my guitar teacher

It was in 2005 when i first started taking guitar lessons. I always liked the classical guitar. My mom was driving me to go get my guitar teacher to my house. And all the way i was thinking what he would look like. What if he is an ugly guy? I was 13 years old. i don't understand the way i was thinking . Anyway i met my guitar teacher and he looked good i think. But when was shaking hands with him i saw his right hand nails. He had long nails to play the guitar. Anyway he was a funny guy and fat he is about 36 years old when I met him. After he finished teaching me the lesson for the day, we went out and then he said "you go first" as a sign of respect. Then i said no you go first. He said again "no you go first" i said " no ladies first":D. I really did not mean anything bad i was just practicing my English on him. He said "you mean....." and he did not continue he just went out. I was saying to myself wait wait; i really did not mean to hurt your feelings. The next time i saw him i had a lesson, i did not practice that week. all my fingers was in a wrong position on the guitar. Especially my thumb it was curvy and it's not supposed curve on the neck. Anyway, he took his pen and hit my thumb knuckle with it. I said "ouch that hurts" and suddenly i remembered oh he is avenging because of what i said last week. I always joked on him .because he is fat. Now he became my best friend i guess. He always helped me with many things. He helped my mother with many things she would not be able to do it. I did not learn guitar. He is Shiite and i am Sunni, so he could not come to my neighborhood after the situation got bad in Baghdad. I play some chords he taught me. Maybe my story is not that funny but in my memory it's really fun. They are really nice memories. I don't remember something that happened that confuses me, because i always thing about the things that happens to me. Great changes happened since i came here in one year a great change happen in my life. That's why i feel like i am living now without any past. But i am happy because i know there some people over there who still care for me, and maybe in the future there will be people here who will care for me.
