School Story:
Snapping jock straps for lineup in Vinyard's class, running the mile, staring at myself in the mirror the night my grandma sewed my junior patch on my P.E. shorts. Riding the beach bus all summer, boogie boarding, Dog Town and Vals Go Home, riding bikes till late at night down Ventura Blvd, being grounded, smelling weed for the first time seeping out the vent of the dark room in Marquez' class, Ms. Madsen's thick make-up, Mr. Argue's drafting class, "I'm the only ruler around here", the electric shop teacher "Mr. Resistor" with insanely thick fingers, playing warball and getting beat to a pulp on the way to the wall, my favorite T-shirts in seventh grade...One said "Express Thyself" and had a granny giving the finger, another said, "Making Bacon" with a drawing of two pigs having sweaty and pretty graphic relations. Oh, and being panic stricken when a girl I liked liked me. Ahhh, the good ole days. Can't wait to relive em!
