"Thank you for calling Enterprise, the company that picks you up, this is ima, how can I help you?" Also praying to the LORD ABOVE that the Rockets would change uniforms and do it quickly.
1998 18 years old. Saluting the middle finger to my high school and giving up on education for the sole purpose of attending a Goliath's handful of punk rock shows without paying the consequences with my grades. My mother's scathing lecture that my choice was wrong and my indifference to her stares still haunts me with regret. My father slowly coming back into our lives with candid talks about the importance of family while throwing back beer and liquor together. Staying up till 5 AM watching foreign films that I thought would make me smarter and more cognizant to the world. Quoting Kerouac and buying vinyl while a few of my friends got shot for gang related reasons. Falling in love, an abortion, a fist fight with my older brother. Strange writing haunting the blue lines of cheap notebook. 18 years old, damn, what the hell did I know? Nothing apparently.
March of '98? I drove from Ensenada down to Cabo and back, camping on the beaches in Baja California. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Spending Spring Break at my friend's place in Abilene and having a good time despite it being Abilene...
16-years-old. I was working after-school and on weekends at the carwash, and making plans for my big car-stereo installation business.
HOLY CRAP!!! I remember her!! Any idea what her first name/full name was? I was just mentioning her to my co-worker as my first real crush on a teacher, but I couldn't remember her full name to be able to look her up on facebook or something True story: she caught me and two other boys in class doing...umm...impressions of what horny 13-14 yr old boys wanna do to their hot female classmates (just boys being boys at that age). Any way, I guess somebody in class ratted us out to her one day and she talked to the three of us after class one time and told us we had to do detention or, otherwise, she would seek to have us all suspended for inappropriate behavior!! The funny part is she kept mentioning to the three of us (with a sneaky little smile/smirk throughout) that she 'understood the hormones of teenage boys'...but she was such a tease and she knew it!! Other teachers including female ones would make little remarks about her occasionally, but I think it was jealousy more than anything else Good times, gooooood times :grin:
Same here. Our reunion is in July though. Probably not giving a crap about school came down with a bad case of senioritis back then.
