All work and no play sucks.
I have never left the country.
In case of mugshot, carry comb.
I am me, you are not.
Laugh it up sucker, you're next.

Dr. Hook - Cover of the Rolling Stone
Makes me think of the Rolling Stone, obviously. I used to have a subscription. A friend got it for me for my birthday, then got mad at me and cancelled it. And she's all they way in North Carolina, so it's not like I could do anything about it. Haha. Now the big guy's singing. "I got a freaky old lady named Cocaine Katy." Reminds me of my buddy Seth. Big, tall, deep voice. I can just see him on stage singing that part, all stiff-legged and shit. What a schmuck.
$10,000 a show. That would never fly nowadays. I read something last week that said Aerosmith has been ordered by a judge to play a free concert. In Hawaii I think. Maybe something about community service? I wish they would get their shit together. Rumor has it they are coming out with another album later this year. I'd love that. Long live the Toxic Twins!
Indian guru....reminds me Civilization Revolution. It's a video game where you start with a civilization, and try to take over the world. When you pick the Indian civilization, Gandhi is their leader. I always think it's funny when you attack another group. Gandhi up front, leading the charge with his stick. Dumbass.
I actually stole that video game. Well, I guess I didn't steal it, I just rented it and never returned it. I guess I knew someone who worked there, because I never got a bill. Maybe my mom got it. She hides a lot of stuff from me. Once, in high school, I got in a car accident. I was fine, and so was the lady that I hit (well, she hit me, but it was my fault), but she ended up suing my family. For something like neck damage or some shit. She was fine. And her husband owned the Dodge dealership in town, so it's like they had to replace their car. I didn't know they sued us until last year. My mom did that on purpose. She knew I'd feel terrible if I knew that happened, so she didn't tell me. She's pretty cool.
And dumb. Hahah. One time, she flew into the garage and couldn't stop on the wet concrete. She pushed the deep freeze through the wall into the utility room with the front of her S.U.V. No one was hurt. Later, she ripped the hatch off the back by leaving it open and trying to back out of the garage. It caught on the top, broke off, and lifted the S.U.V. in the air. Hahaha. We call her Susan Spacey because she never pays attention. Not because she's married to Kevin. If that was the case, I wouldn't be in college. I'd be in movies. And maybe on the Cover of the Rolling Stone.

S.A.
I think I'm gonna give the 'ole Quest Narrative style a whirl. Just one question, does it have to be one, single event that we write about, or can it be multiple events? I know we write about a path, but does that path need to be short, like a freshman year in college, or long, like the entire time you've been in college?
P.S. Did ya'll know there's a spellcheck on this thing? F'ing A Cotton.

Attack
I was a freshman in high school, and my first period was football. We had practice early, before school started, and we came back into the locker room to shower and get ready for second period. The locker room was away from the main school building, and there was no t.v. or radio or anything. But somehow my friend Ryan Williams had some information.
"Dude," he said laughing, "some idiot just flew his plane into the Pentagon."
"He's got to be fired," I responded.
That how naive we were. It never crossed our minds that someone could attack us. We had no reason to think that.
But once I got into the school building, I knew something was wrong. The halls were quiet, some kids were sobbing, some were mad, some had no expression. I walked into my second period class, physical sciecnce with Mr. Otey Green, and the t.v. was on. Everyone was watching, no one was speaking, and Mr. Green had written something on the board.
Never Forget.
I remember watching the news coverage of the first attack, and watching the second plane hit.
I've never felt so angry and so helpless in my life. There was absolutely nothing I, or any of us, could do.
I'll Never Forget.
