FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 25TH 2008
WEATHER; WARM, HIGH HUMIDITY, 60/86 DEGREES
MOM SAYS I GOT UP THIS MORNING AND CAME OUT AND SAT DOWN AND ATE BREAKFAST AND TALKED TO HER FOR A WHILE THEN GOT UP AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND WENT BACK IN OUR BEDROOM AND WENT BACK TO SLEEP! I DON’T REMEMBER ANY OF THIS HAPPENING THIS MORNING, IT SEEMS TO ME IT WAS YESTERDAY MORNING! OH WELL, I WOKE UP ABOUT 3:00 AND GOT UP AND WENT OUT AND FOUND A NOTE FROM MOM TELLING ME MY LUNCH WAS IN THE FRIDGE! THEN I REMEMBERED SHE HAD TO GO TAKE KYLIE TO HER DOCTORS APPOINTMENT AT 4:00!
I WENT AHEAD AND ATE LUNCH AND TURNED ON CNN TO SEE WHAT THOSE DUMMIES IN WASHINGTON WERE DOING ABOUT THE $700 BILLION BAILOUT! YOU KNOW THEY DON’T EVEN MENTION THE $300 BILLION THEY ALREADY TOOK TO BAIL OUT FANNIE MAY, FREDDY MAC AND LEHMAN BROS. IF MY MATH IS RIGHT THAT ADDED TO THE $700BILLION MEANS THEY ARE GOING TO USE $1 TRILLION OF TAXPAYERS DOLLARS TO BAILOUT BIG BUSINESS AND THE TAXPAYERS WHO ARE ABOUT TO LOSE THEIR HOMES, SMALL BUSINESSES, JOBS AND SAVINGS ARE LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES! CALL YOU’RE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND DEMAND THEY NOT LET THIS HAPPEN UNDER THE THREAT OF RECALL! YOU DO REALIZE THESE PEOPLE WORK YOU AND ME DON’T YOU? A TIME COMES WHEN WE NEED TO TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORNS AND LET IT KNOW JUST WHO HOLDS THE PURSE STRINGS IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE KNOW WHEN TO TIE THE KNOT IN THEM! MY IDEA IS NOT TO JUMP IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS SITUATION OUT OF FEAR LIKE GEORGE W. BUSH AND DICK CHENEY HAD US DO OVER THE SUPPOSED THREAT OF SADDAM HEUSINE’S WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION! LET THIS COOL DOWN FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND SEE IF THE PEOPLE WHO IT’S GOING TO HURT NAMELY WALL STREET AND THE BANKS CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION BETWEEN THEMSELVES, I’LL BET THEY DO!
I HOPE THE DEBATE GOES ON AS PLANNED, WE NEED THIS TO SEE WHO CAN DO MORE THAN ONE THING AT A TIME OR, IN OTHER WORDS; “WHO CAN WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME!”
GARY AND CHARLEEN LATINIS AND CHARLEENS SISTER CAME BY FOR A VISIT YESTERDAY! WE HAVEN’T SEEN BETT FOR QUITE A WHILE! THEY’RE TAKING HER TO MIAMI FOR THE FAMILY REUNION OF HER HUSBANDS FAMILY. ERNIE DIED A FEW YEARS BACK!
IN MY SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL I WAS KEEPING MY NOSE TO THE GRIND STONE STUDYING AND STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE! BECAUSE I BACK OFF ROM FIGHTS I GOT THE NAME OF CHICKEN! SOME OF THE FOOTBALL PLAYER GOT TOGETHER AND PUT THE SCHOOL BULLY, “TINY ORCHID” UP TO CHIDDING ME ON THE QUADRANGLE TO FIGHT HIM! I DIDN’T WANT TO BUT HE KEPT PUSHING ME AND I WENT DOWN AFTER I STUMBLED OVER A STACK OF BOOKS! WHEN I STOOD UP HE GOT RIGHT UP IN MY FACE AND PROCEEDED TO CALL ME NAMES IN MEXICAN. I DON’T KNOW WHERE ALL THE TEACHERS HAD GONE BUT THERE WEREN’T ANY AROUND SO I GRABBED HIM BY THE THROAT AND DROVE MY RIGHT FIST INTO HIS FACE AS HARD AS I COULD! IT SPLATTERED HIS NOSE ALL OVER HIS FACE AND HE WENT LIMP IN MY GRASP SO I LET HIM GO! HE WENT DOWN AND PUT HIS HANDS UP TO HIS FACE! I BACK UP A STEP AND WAITED FOR HIM TO REACH FOR THE BOOT KNIFE I KNEW HE CARRIED WHICH HE DID! I HIT HIM AGAIN THIS TIME IN THE STOMACH AND WHEN HE DOUBLED OVER I GRABBED THE KNIFE AND THREW IT AWAY! THEY NEVER DID FIND IT. I GUESSED SOMEONE PICKED IT UP AND KEPT IT! BY THIS TIME HE WAS CRYING AND THE HATE THAT HE FELT WAS SHOWING IN HIS EYES! I ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED MORE AND HE SHOOK HIS HEAD NO SO I BACKED AWAY AND WENT IN THE REST ROOM AND WAS GETTING CLEANED UP WHEN BILL KING, THE PRESIDENT OF THE ESQUDAROS CLUB CAME IN AND ASKED IF HE COULD HELP ME! I JUST LOOKED AT HIM AND HE LEFT! THEN HARVEY BELL CAME IN, HE WAS OUR FIRST STRING GUARD, HE SHOOK MY HAND AND APPOLOGIZED FOR THE GUYS WHO PUT TINY UP TO DOING THIS! I GOT RIGHT IN HARVEY’S FACE AND TOLD HIM STAY AWAY FROM ME OR I’D GIVE HIM SOME OF THE SAME!
BILL MASON WAS WITNESS TO THIS, HE HAD GRADUATED THE YEAR BEFORE BUT CAME TO SEE ME AND WE WERE GOING ROLLER SKATING THAT NIGHT! THE NEXT TIME I SAW TINY ORCHID WAS ABOUT A WEEK LATER WHEN HE CAME UP TO ME AS I LEFT SCHOOL AND WAS HEADED FOR MY MOTOR SCOOTER! HE WALKED UP AND SHOOK MY HAND AND SAID HE NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FIGHT HIM AND WAS REALLY SUPPRISED WHEN I THREW THE FIRST PUNCH AND IT WAS A GOOD ONE! WE WERE PASSING ACQUAINTENCES AFTER THAT BUT NOT FRIENDS!
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
