It’s funny what you remember as you get older. About your childhood, I mean. I remember in four or five my parents were poor, and especially out of touch with society. Not that they ever were all that, “in touch” my entire life, but this year was especially bad. They decided that I needed a new bike. At least I don’t remember asking for it. Nevertheless I got home after school one day, and surprise, there’s a new bike. Normally a kid would be excited to get a new bike but I wasn’t. This was a girls bike. I nearly cried.
Weeks later my parents finally convinced me to ride my new bike to school. I left late to be sure my friends didn’t see me. I took every precaution, including chaining my bike to the farthest fence from the school. The plan seemed to work, that is until it was time to leave. I snuck off to the farthest fence, to collect my powder blue feminine bicycle. What I didn’t count on was having to ride directly by the baseball diamond to get home. Of course my friends had all decided to stay for an extra game or two. Something that I’d be prevvy to had I not been sneaking away.
As I drove by, trying my best not to attract their attention, one of the kids started to yell. “hey look over there!!”
“and he’s on a GIRLS bike”
The kids broke out into laughter. I was humiliated.
Only one kid stayed silent. I don’t even remember his last name now, but his first was Chris. He was a bully. He had beaten me up on several occasions, yet he stood silently while everyone laughed at me. “It’s a nice bike. Well, better than mine. Do any of you guys have gears on your bike?”
Of course nobody else had.
I could only smile and continue riding home.
The one guy who stood up for me.
Intro idea
The World Will End In 2012
I’ve been reading a lot lately saying: “The world won’t end in 2012.” followed by a bunch of reasons why no natural disasters will happen in 2012. But how come nobody is talking about humankind distroying the planet?
Here is my logic.
Every “12″ (that is, 1912, 1812, 1712) has fronted the beginning of a war. Each more horrific than the previous. Therefor it follows that World War 4 will happen in 2012, and could possibly distroy the world.
So There.
Jet Engines
So birds get sucked into jet engines. Why the hell don’t they just put a mesh “fence” to keep unwanted animals, people etc and all from getting sucked in. It doesn’t make sense.
McWorld Tour
You know, everyone tells me that there are different/interesting McDonalds meals from around the world.
I know that there’s a McLobster; I’ve had it; it’s good.
Why doesn’t McDonalds have a special. This week only, you can have the McSushi (I don’t know if this exists but it’s and example), next week is McCurry (again, don’t know if this exists but i bet it would be tasty), etc etc.
If you’re not from these other places, or not going to the other places you still have a chance to try their international menu.
Welcome
Here, I’m going to post my many musings for those of you who may be interested in reading them.
