Old Friend

I have been contacted by an old friend I used to go to school with..Now me and him havent talked in a long time because of an incident that happened when we was in school..This not your tipical incident that happens to most people..Me and a bunch of friends got drunk and was riding back roads on night,we had probably 5 trucks,and it was raining its ass off so we was cutting up like hell..All the roads where of that red clay which is slicker than owl shit..Well my buddy was in a brand new Ford Ranger..We was cutting up ramping vehicles and all kinds of crap,things you would only do when drunk of course,lol..He wound up breaking his tire rod which is in front of the truck..This makes the truck undrivable..Well me and another guy said no problem we know where a trailer is and will get it and come back and get your truck..Well he passes out on the way to get trailer.So we took him home and said no prob we got this, your truck will be in the front yard when you get up in the morning..Well we drive out in the middle of BFE and get his truck..We are in a Chevrolet with a 350 and 4 wheel drive with a trailer with a truck on it coming down muddy ass roads..We take a curve and the truck slides off the trailer..Not completely but the muddy tires slide of to one side..Now we are in a delima here..We stop and theres no way to get around the trailer because the road is to muddy in the ditch on 1 side and a freaking hill on the other going down at a bout a 30 degree angle with about 12 ft pines all the way down..We are on a mountain side ppl..Just so happens the truck slide off the drop off side,yea we was drunk as hell laughing our ass off..Well I decide to go back to the farm and get a tractor so we inhooked from the trailer leaving both there..I came back 3 hrs later finally with tractor and proceded to pick truck up from the opposite of trailer to pick the truck up and set on trailer..Well what happens next I have no clue,I looked to the side at the hole I was in and looked up and the truck was GONE..The truck had slide off my forks and had rolled about 100 yrds down the side of the mountain taking out all the pine trees in its way..Now folks I dont care how drunk you are,you know when you have done screwed up royally,we where laughing our asses oft I siad OFT..We got back in truck and tractor and headed home..Buddy got up the next morning wondering where his truck was..I told him whole story and he just couldnt believe it..So after that we was kinda not good budds anymore but hey wasnt like we did it on purpose..But anyway,just old things..Maybe things will get better...

Mayonnaise Run Gone Bad

Well I should have wrote this before my last wild weekend but I didnt so..Well it was about 3 weeks before Thanksgiving and I had bought a ham.I had it in my fridge for a while and was waiting for the time to get right before I cooked it..Was a nice evening 1 day so I fired up the grill.I had started it with charcoal but that was just to get the wood going..I was staedily feeding it with Pecan limbs I had been soaking weeks prior to that.Soaking makes the wood burn slower and smoke more..I had put the ham on and was smoking up the neighborhood..I was staedily feeding it throghout the evening with pecan.About 5 hrs later I took it off,man was it smelling right..Took a taste and it just watered my mouth..So I sliced up the ham and got out the bread and was ready to make me a sandwich I thought..I got to looking and guess what,out of mayonnaise..I know eat it anyways right,not me..I have to have mayonnaise,just not a sandwhich with out it..No problem,I will just drive one block over to a friend of mine and borrow some...I pulled up and there where a few people there,some I knew,some I didnt,No matter I will be in and out,so I thought..Now all of a sudden everyone went to telling me a girl was there with her kid,she left and left her kid there to meet the her ex boyfriend who just got out of the pen and to find out she was the one who put him there to start with..Well good thing I left my beer in the truck..Well I went in,still on my mission,not wanting in all this,grabbed the mayo and headed out the door..Before I get to my truck,a mustang pulls behind me and a girl bails out crying wanting her kid..I could see that this girl wasnt in shape to get her kid so I intervined and told her no..Everyone was gathered around watching me,not wanting in this but the little girl didnt need in it either.Well me and a friend was trying to calm her down,guy jumps out of car..Come around like he is on the phone gonna call the police,I called his bluff..Ipulled out my phone and said let do it for you..Dude bailed for his car and girl did to..He cranked it up telling her to get in,she opens the door trying to get her purse out of the back..Hes hollering,she scrambling and he put it in reverse and BOOM hits her with the door..Now she is the ground stalling in rev..Im trying to pull her away from the door and he hit drive just peeling out..Well when he does he runs over her foot,cause she was not cooperateing being drug back..He runs threw the neighbors yard and jumps a ditch..K here I am,girl lying on the ground with a broke foot,tire marks going through the neighbors yard and my mayonnaise sitting on the hood of my truck..Well then the police got called for real..I told them look I didnt and dont want in this,to take the girl comfort her and I will see yall at a later date..Well i left,got home made me a sandwhich and waited 2 days before I took the moyo back..Now look I dont know what I have done in my life to deserve all this but man why so dang dramatic..Cant we just live normal lives..My life is pretty simple,guess im just always at the right place at the wrong time....

Another Wild Weekend At Wildcats

As most of you know it seems like I am the luckiest person for bad luck..Well a friend of mines birthday was over the weekend.I was invited to the B-Day party.Well wouldnt you know they had the party at a bar called POPS..This is your average redneck bar if any,only exception is they are the redneck rejects.So i load up in my truck(or blazer)about 7:00 and head to my friends house so I can catch a ride to the bar with them..(Now my intensions where to go to the party have fun,and catch a ride with them back to their house and crash for the night so I wouldnt have to drive intoxicated back home)..So I got there and we loaded up about 150 jello shots and stopped by the liquior store and got 4 bottles of booze for the party.Finally we show up..All is gooing good threw the night and let me tell you the jello shots where strong,arrrr.Well this guy came in that I know from around town and started congragateing ate our table.Me and him have never really talked much but knew one another.He got an urge to(as he always does) get some stuff going.Well he had one of his buddies come sit next to me and strike up a conversation,it didnt go his way so the next thing i know I get sucker punched from behind from somebody,I dont know who.Soon as I was hit I jumped up from the table and the whole table went into the dance floor..I mean everything on the table,which was about 3 buckets of beer 5 bottles in each bucket,about 80 jello shots,and the 4 bottles of liquior..Know at this time somebody hit me in my nose to I hit the closest one to me.We where going at it when someone came up behind me and grabbed me..Well out of instinct I grabbed a bottle,spun around and busted his head with it.Next thing I know I have 5 people holding me back off this guy.The bouncers escorted me to the door and I went with no resistence..Dont know how many of them it would have took to whoop my ass but I knew how many they where gonna use,lol..Well a guy that was with us at the table I just met that night came out the door and said come with me im ready to leave anyway so we got in his truck and he took me to mine..Now the people I was gonna stay with was the people having the party,so I told them not to worry about me I will be fine I will just go home so yall stay and have a good time..Now I finally made it to my truck and its cold outside..The xheater in my truck hasnt worked in 3 yrs..So I fire it up and head down the road..At this time my windows are a little foggy but doing fine,from my stand point anyway..I have not traveled this road much and when I did it was always during the day..I get a call on me phone and start writing a # down on paper..You see how all the wrongs are coming together.Next thing I know my truck is airborn.(Bo and Luke Duke would had been proud of this one)Shit I drop everything and stand on the break.To late,I hit the other side and finally skided to a stop..Now at this time I am on about a 35 degree hill headed down.So I just put my truck in park,killed the motor and got out..I knew I was stuck.When I got out there was a guy standing on the top of the hill "hollering you all right".My reply was"Im alright,dont call the police"and he didnt.Instead he and his wife gave me ride home,which was very nice of them.I couldnt help but laugh the next day because all they could see was my tail lights and puff they disappeared..I got my truck back that night,a friend went and got it for me later that night and brought it home to me.Seems I am the luckiest person in the world if ya look at right..Could have went to jail twiced,walked away from a fight and a wreck with no more than the mud on my shoes..Think about it,lol...

Todays Economy

Well you all know that the economy is at its worst.They say we are in a recession and the government says we aren't..I know better because I am smart enough to see through the smoke screen they keep putting up..Our country has always been in debt and it has gotten worse through the years..I don't understand why it is such a surprise to people..I guess that they actually came out with numbers and figures now it got to big to cover up..I also think people have got lost in themselves and the new world that they forgot and trying to ban GOD from the world.He is making us all humble to trying see who all is actually with him..Have you seen how much more that you have turned to him now that we are all in need when we should had been there to start with????I bet even the people that retort against him are wishing that they had something to believe in or someone to answer a prayer..I am blessed I can say,I don't go to church much anymore,but I have always had faith..I have seen more hypocrits in a church than I have on the street..Now just because I dont go to church doesnt meann I dont believe and try to do the right thing all the time..For example, just because I live in a garage doesnt mean im a car..GOD has blessed me with wonderful people in my life and friends that wouldn't turn their backs on me for the world..I think we all need to be humble in our life every once in a while so we will not forget all the important things that GOD and and life has giving us..Well I hope you all have a blessed day and dont forget GOD will never give us so much we cant handle..
