Once when I was in 7th grade
We were out at recess at TeWinkle Jr. High...
Big grass field, I picked up a fist size rock
and threw it at a seagull flying low a good ways away..
it was far away I tells ya and I never expected to hit the damn thing
but I did
half a dozen potential girlfriends ran to its rescue
and by the time the thing flew away again
i'd lost half a dozen potential girlfriends
Once when I was in 7th grade
We we're out at recess at TeWinkle Jr. High...
Big grass field, I picked up a fist size rock
and threw it at a seagull flying low a good ways away..
it was far away I tells ya and I never expected to hit the damn thing
but I did
half a dozen potential girlfriends ran to it's rescue
and by the time the thing flew away again
i'd lost half a dozen potential girlfriends
the girls' scowling faces huddled around the poor bird say otherwise
I was very happy when it flew away..
still didn't help that I tried to laugh it off
About 8 years old we walked down the country road to the railroad tracks and there were toads around. We picked them up and threw them against the power poles. It still haunts me thinking about it over 40 years later. I can't even kill mosquitos now.
When I was about 6 at school a few of us were throwing rocks at a street light outside the school, from the playground. Only a few rocks were thrown. One of mine somehow hit it and it came down and splashed like a bucket of water on the road. I was sent to the principal but she didn't show. Nothing came of it. Still can't believe I actually hit it.
There are many things I shouldn't have done in my life, but they were links in the chain of events that led to the life I have now so in spite of the suffering it was worth it.
I used to listen to talk radio and follow politics. Colossal waste of time and resulted in unnecessary stress over things I***8217;d never ever have any control over.
Don***8217;t miss that bull**** at all. Plus I got TW to remind me how pathetic that **** is.
I have found that it is NOT in my best interest to have my 52-year-old brain criticize my younger brain. I did a lot of stupid **** in my life but as Akela said, those retarded actions have all led me to where I am today.
But the biggest:
I wish I never started drinking in the morning.
