Who knew?

Yo yo yo.
How's it flow?!

Ahh, what a glorious crappy day.
Blah.
I had to go to the doc today, with my dad. We had to go to North Wilksboro (sp?) because that's where his heart doctor was today.
Three hours (an hour and a half there, and back)....the LONGEST three hours of my life. My dad just DOESN'T know how to be quiet. He has to be TALKING the WHOLE TIME. I had my SC disk playing, and I only caught a few words from each song. Geez. People say I talk a lot....
So after the doc and stuff. We came back to Mount Airy. Then I came home and fell asleep. I WAS going to go by school and see what I missed...but I said eff it...and took a nap.
Then I went to Wally World after my nap. This trip wasn't too bad. I was kinda shocked. I mean, it was REALLY rainy and nasty...perfect time for people to flock to the local Wal-Mart. WHEW!
So I got everything I needed at Wal-Mart, and I came home and fixed my dinner.
JUST as I was getting ready to put my food on my plate....my grandmother Shelby calls. She didn't say ANYTHING except (to my dad): Troy, I need you NOW. Well, my parents were in the basement, but they came flying up the stairs, and they told me to get in my car, and GO.
So, we're speeding down through town, and we're discussing what could be wrong (BTW. My grandmother has SERIOUS heart shit wrong with her). So, my dad called 911 from the cell, and had an ambulence sent to my grandmother's house.
We FINALLY get to her house, and we all jump out of the car.
Then we saw it.
My grandfather Sam had broken his leg (that's what it LOOKED like). Actually, he "broke" his heel, which means he SHATTERED his heel. Holy Cow. I don't know how he survived his fall. See, he was in "Aunt Pearl's house" which is a house that is like 20 feet away from his, that Aunt Pearl used to live in. He was checking something in the basement. As he was walking down the stairs to the basement, the stairs collapsed (he was on the second from the top) and fell down through to the concrete floor. Holy Shizzle fizzle.
But, he was OK. Grandmother just couldn't get him in the house. The EMS came, and we explained what had happend.
It's all good now, sort of. He's got some good drugs in him, and he's got some SERIOUS ice goin on!
So, we left my grandparent's house and came home. I ate (yesa!) and then I put away my clothes.
Now, I'm listening/watching some videos I downloaded....and watching some tube...



And this is why SOMETHING CORPORATE is the shit.

Babies of the 80s.

I grew up on Five Alive
And Transformers and Slip-n-Slide
Toy's R Us and Chuck-e-Cheeze
Disco out and techno in
To synthesize my favorite sin
And here I am on my knees
To get it back again

Babies of the 80's
Little girls in lycra shorts
Tented beds, nerf contact sports
My babies of the 80's
Shout it out just one more time
For the generation that was all mine

We learned to crawl on linoleum floors
Ronald Regan fought Star Wars
But he'll never be Han Solo
Students march Tienemen Square
They took him out hey that's not fair
Dad said it's good to be free
As we watched from our T.V.

Babies of the 80's
Little girls in lycra shorts
Tented beds, nerf contact sports
My babies of the 80's
Shout it out just one more time
For the generation that was all mine

We watched the wall fall down
Woke up early for Bozo the clown
MTV and Nick at Night
And I slept for the first time
Without the light
Without the light
Without the light

My Babies of the 80's
Little girls in jelly shoes
Got the ferris bueller blues
My babies of the 80's
Yes we could be something after all
Who knew yes we could be something after all
Who knew yes we would be something after all
Who Knew
