mymy meme
a few things about me!
- I grew up within one block of the Mississippi River and swam in it as a child with my younger brother even though we were forbidden to go near it.
- We would throw rocks at the nutrias (rats as big as dogs) under the wharf at the Naval Base on the river.
- I have a crack in my skull above my right eye where I ran into a parked car with my bicycle when I was about 5. It knocked me out and took 8 stitches to close, the scar and the crack are still there.
- I fell off a horse and was dragged by my foot caught in a rope for a couple hundred feet on my stomach. I was probably 6 yrs old. ouch!
- I used to seriously race motocross. I once ran in a state championship, I placed 3rd in the first heat, had a fall and finished 10th in the second heat and my bike brokedown in the last heat. I finished 17th overall in the state championships in spite of not even finishing the last heat!
- The very next race I attended I broke my Suzuki’s frame in 2 pieces on a very long highspeed jump. I never had it fixed.
- I first worked offshore at 17 yrs old and had to lie about my age to go.
- I delivered newspapers for 4 years in my early teens, I had one of those huge old fashioned paper boy bikes that weighed like 60 lbs. I was very well developed and could pedal a load of papers in it’s huge basket for all I was worth for the entire route.
- I bought my first motorcycle, a Yamaha motocrosser with money from that route.
- I also bought a Kingston sunburst bass guitar and cool Ampeg tube amplifier with money from that paper route. I could never play worth a shit in spite of taking lessons.
- I played in a neighborhood garage band called the Open Path and we did covers of old rock stuff from the Beatles, Cream, Led Zep and many others.
- I was the bad assed loner in high school, nobody but nobody messed with me. Not even the football team members.
- I once pressed 300 lbs 10 times quickly with my legs in the football workout room and the coach nearly had a heart attack and wanted to give me a BJ and then begged me to play on the team. He timed me in the 100 yard dash a couple of times and I was faster and stronger than anyone on the team.
- This was witnessed by many football team members, that’s why nobody messed with me.
- The coach annoyed the hell out of me to play for a long time but I was too busy making money after school to play football.
- My favorite uncle helped me build a soap box derby racer, I won my first heat, was knocked out of the competition in my second but it was a lot of fun.
- I hated my high school years with a passion. It was too easy and I never had to apply myself. I would finish all my new text books within a week of each new semester and was bored to tears the rest of the time.
- I have not attended one single high school reunion for many reasons, number one being that I could not care less.
- I once hitchhiked to Little Rock, Arkansas from New Orleans to hang out with a school friend that moved there. I hitchhiked all over the southeast but that trip was my longest at one shot. Hitchhiking was a lot of fun back then, I’ve no idea what it’s like now.
- I stayed with that buddy at his grandparents farm in Arkansas for an entire summer. We worked in the fields for $1 an hour + room & board. It was a lot fun and we did a lot of partying on the weekends. The farm food was amazingly good.
That’s it for today! This was my first meme list and it was fun and I’ll add to it laters. Have a good weekend my friends!

Holy Shit, Firsties! woo hoo!
I’m first…imagine that. You might be a bad ass but I still think you are a sweetie
haha Celti…;)
dag nabbit! anyway…
I haven’t gone to any of my reunions, either. I didn’t like most of those bastards back then, why would I want to see them now? LOL
That was all very interesting, wild child!
oooh I’d like to go back to school and see everyone, be nice to show em how well I did and stick a finger up at the bullies.
Man, you could have gotten 20 long posts out of those little gems. It’s never boring around here!
Lois Lane
I know what you mean about school. For some, it gets boring really quick. I liked school though, because it got me away from home. I hated it there.
That was one of the things I liked about school… it got me out of the house! My friends were more of a family to me in those days. Then I moved senior year. If the class I graduated with ever has a reunion, I won’t go because I didn’t know ‘em and it wasn’t really “my” class. Even though I’m the one that chose to move, LOL.
You need to post some pictures of you as a kid. I’m sure you’re bruised and stitched up in most of them but, that’s part of your charm.
I agree with Lois - you could have gotten a lotta milage out of those little gems - actually you probably still can
given our “short attention spans”!
Doesn’t everyone find it amazing that we all SURVIVED childhood?
I’m surprised I’m not a raving lunatic, if that’s what you mean Seamus.
No one messed with me in high school either. I was the quiet one that everyone ignored, and completely happy with that image.
Just think: You could have been retired from the NFL by now, with steroid-damaged liver, ruptured Achilles tendon, and permanent hangnail. See what you missed?
back from the near dead! AND APPARENTLY, SO ARE YOU AFTER LAST WEEKS LITTLE STOPLIGHT FIASCO…
remarkable restraint on the lack o tire iron thing there sev, dunno if i coulda.
and again.. i lust for, burn over, squirm in delight with, and covet the new header here. awesome. *poink*
Fab snapshot of the man behind the words. Are you really quiet? xxxx’s
noonie sits giggling watching the new banner…. love it… hey where is my template you were going to make?

‘Bite Me’

Hey Seven, just checking in with my sick and demented buds…..hope you’re having a good day.
Bite Me, LOL, my fav saying. I never liked school either, it always got in the way of partying. as for reunions, nope never made one. but then again I was never sent the invite to one either. LOL. as for the work being easy, hell I graduated a year early and that was after all the days missed, which was a lot, LOL.
you know, the pic and phrase at the top of this makes me giggle like an idiot every time I come here. Thanks for that.
Happy Monday!
my son cracked his head on a parked car playing street football, the tail light broke and fortunately his head didn’t. lol I guess he has a pretty damn hard head.
Love the action figure of James…he’s a rocker. Live on Metallica.
Re: your comment on my site: Ass.
Hitchiking these days is a life-risker; esp for gals like me.
(any particular place you like to be bitten?;))
that was a fun read
You’re always a fun read darlin! This is why I am soooo in love with cha!
Don’t tell the boyfriend *shhhh*
KEWL!
loved the list. it did surprise me on a few things… i loved the bike reference…60lbs. my brother had a bike just like that too! funny. gotta love the 1970s though. nice to know you hated high school too. besides the homecoming queen… who did LIKE high school? anyways, great list. have a good week.
I keep watching your header. Over and over again. It’s very addicting.
I haven’t gone to my class reunions either…I figure I couldn’t stand those people back then, so why would I PAY MONEY to go see them now. Pffft..
Sev, go back down that list and tell us some more of the stories…please, please?!?! (You tease!)
Love the new Blog Header! Bite Me HA!
I hated high school too! Didn’t everybody?
High School were some of the worst and best years at the same time. Never ever ever would I show up at one of those hideous reunions either.
I wish I had the balls to hitchhike. Not in this day and age though.
You’ve led an interesting life haven’t you?
Very Kwel list—of course I expected that from you. yes you are a kwel and sexy dude as well. I also love the header.
Boohunch= it’s all good it seems lately, but i’m due for a bust no doubt!!
Jade= yeah, but what does it mean really? hehe, i like saying it too. good for you on getting out early, I would have too except I struggled with math type classes, yeah I sucked and still do…
Celti= I wanna hear you giggle, I’ll bet it’s pretty damn cool. thanks and a *poink* for you!!!
Harley= wow, i’m glad for your son! and not too sorry about the tail light, it needs ta stay out of childrens way
Yeah, I have this special spot, front and center not far below my belly button…. 
tCj= ass is always good, when on a woman that is
Mike= glad ya enjoyed it dude!!
Char= I won’t tell if you won’t!!
hehe
Inanna= whaaaa?? *smooch*~!!
gypsy= yeah there was a lot of good that came out of the 70’s, I just can’t seem to recall any of them…
Becka= acck!! you’re a Flash junky!! get it out of your system now!, I recommend watching goofy ass Barney cartoons on TV for 2 weeks to get it out!!
it’s hard to elaborate on some of that stuff, hmmm and yeah, I love ta tease!!!
Dawn= now I have to agree with that! makes perfect sense!!
Last Girl= I’m thinking, thinking ,
Seamus= thanks, that sucker was fun to make! yeah, I couldn’t think of anything cooler that space aliens might say
I thought about blowing up the moon but that wouldn’t have been very funny. hehe
Angi= I know I sure did, It did have a few cool moments, I think… hmmm maybe not
Sharron= yeah I still wonder though what it would be like, maybe it wouldn’t suck as bad as I think… hahaha!! Hitchhiking is not recommended for women, at least not in my book anyway hehe. Nothing pains me more than the thought of a woman getting hurt or worse, that just eats me up!!
Jethro= I dunno, I suppose I have, it always seem d to work out weird yet fun for me, maybe like a Forrest Gump
hehe, just in the right place at the right time a lot…. who knows.
Vickie= Hi doll!!! thank you sweetheart!! i’m glad you likey!! *smooch*~!!!
Well I was up to $30.72, but then I got so depressed thinking I would never get there that I bought a moon pie. Back down to $29.97
