nyThe first day we got Shemp was quite the memorable moment. We found an ad in the Oakland Press about puppies for only 35$. This was just after we lost Whiskey so I didn't think it'd be such an easy transistion. Anyway, we pull up to this house in Pontiac right by Northern High School. I now believe that the house was some sort of opium den or possibly(to avoid any sterotype) a crack house. This might explain many of our dog's actions. In the house there were many puppies but only two that were running around and playing with each other. We got lucky and picked Shemp. On the way home in the future Tijuana Taxi, Shemp pooped. It was love at first sight for the Stalker family. That night Noel and I both wanted to sleep with Shemp. So what ended up happening was the last time Noel and I shared a bed together and the last time Shemp slept with anyone else besides my parents. Shemp still remains a good dog and poops in more places than the car.

When I was a freshman in high school Noel was still a senior. This was probally the last time Noel and I hung out a lot. It' s kind of a shame, but Noel did find the love of his life so I can't blame him. On this particular night I think Noel and I were coming back from one of his friends parties or something. There was this jerk off who was tailing us and flashing his brights. Neither of us recognized the car so we pulled of into this neighborhood off of Clarkston road where it's very curvy. The car continued to follow us untill we somehow ended up in a driveway. This guy gets out of his car and starts accusing us of egging his house or something along those lines. We had no ideal what he was talking about, but he was pretty pissed off. I'm not sure how we got out of the situation but he's lucky Noel and I didn't tag team his ass and show him that the Stalker boys can throw down. Noel you definetly have to remember this.

For my 8th birthday my mom caved in after all the bugging and had a small birthday party for Dan and I. Our birthdays are relatively close to each other, so we combined the party, half Dan's friends and half of my friends.

To start we had to purchase supplies. We went to toys r us and got all the fun little plates and whatnot. We also had to get food and cake as well.

From the looks of it, it looks like we invited Nick Caputo, Noel and Kevin Stalker, Scott Vogt, Jason, Chris Smith, and Blake Peters. We had a lot of fun that day. I remember playing foose ball downstairs and playing video games. But not a whole lot more. Mostly just being a kid goofing off.

But theres one thing I remember of this most was that my mom was not happy about spending 50 dollars on all this stuff. We didnt have much money growing up and this was asking a lot it seemed when I recall her putting stuff away at the counter of Toys R Us. It totally didnt affect me as a kid (even . . . Read More..

We have only gone out to California to visit my Uncle Drake a few times in my life. One time I remember Kevin and I were really into collecting comics. It was the Jim Lee era of X-Men. I was busy trying to buy all of the back issues of The Uncanny X-men that I could find. On this fateful day I came upon a comic book that was pretty hot at the time. It was the first appearance of Gambit. I can't remember how much it cost - maybe $15 or $30. I was so happy to get a hold of it though.

Unfortunately, I no longer have it. I either traded it to my friends John and Derek for some porn or video games or I lost it with some of my other rare comics when Linda lost her area at the antique store. But, I don't really care, it is just a thing. However, it is fun to reminisce about random memories like that.

Speaking of random memories (lellel)... heres one...

Back at the hendricks house, my brother Dan and I used to have these blue metal shades on our window.

These were of super poor quality and I distinctively remember the shattering noise you would make when you would close them.

As well as the noise made when the wind would hit them.  Many times we would be goofing off and would run into them, thus bending the crap out of them.  They probably lasted me a good 10 years or so.  Just looking through old photos helped me remember them.

On my window sill I used to keep various banks and cars.  I also put my pinewood derby car on there too.  Pinewood derby is an event that boyscouts and cubscouts do to make their own cars and race them down a ramp.

Other things on my window sill were these dead sea animals that my grandma gave me.  One was a shark, one was a starfish and the other was an octopus.  They were preserved in this blue . . . Read More..
