This one time, my brother and Scott V and I all went up to Sam's party store to have someone else buy us beer.

It was mostly Scott and Dans idea and I was just along for the ride.

We found some dude that was willing to buy for us and we headed back to the waterford house to drink it.

This was my first encounter with beer and my conception of alcohol was that it was always good when you mix it with kool aid.

I think I learned that through some of the derelicts that we used to hang out with.

Anyway, I knew it might taste funny, but I still thought it might be a decent combination.

As it turns out I was wrong and the beer kool aid was a complete disaster.

It wasnt until later up until my Junior year in High School (partying with Alpha Chi Rhoe) that I drank another beer again.

Yummy! EVERYONE HAS TO SEE BEER FEST. WHAT A GREAT MOVIE!

My first kiss was just about the weirdest thing on the planet.

Obviously its supposed to be that way, but my brother made it worse.  He and Scott V both were in middle school now and they found it funny to have Nick and I.  Kiss our current girlfriends in front of the sandbox after school.

Nick had to kiss Liz Grant and I had to kiss the girl I was "dating" Jennifer Snowden.

We basically were pressured there in front of everyone with no privacy.  It was wierd and yet I was really wanting to try it out.

I remember being so nervous standing there for about 15 minutes before the event happened. 

When the kiss occured I swear I remember sticking out my tounge or something, but I am not sure.  If I did, it might have been just a little before she pulled away.

Classic memory of mine.....

Most kids have a favorite blanket, but mine lasted at least 10 years.And of course, the blanket had my favorite video game character of all time.My mom and Dad got it for me for me for Christmas one year.  They alsogot my brother an ALF blanket of the same design.  Although he didntget all the moneys worth out of it like I did. I used to come down the stairs pretty much every day and had breakfast with it wrapped around me like I am a mummy. It also was my cat Billys  favorite spot to purr at. That blanket rules and recently I found it downstairs and took some pics of what I looked like as a kid with it wrapped around me.

One time I was underneath our coffee table taunting my cat Billy with a hot dog. The weird thing about the hot dog was that it wasnt cooked. I used to eat cold hot dogs and can still taste them when I think about it. So Billy got fed up with me and started attacking me. He was a very strong cat and I was very scared when he was thrashing me and biting me. On another occasion, he randomly went into attack mode late at night and I was scared too.

At the regional meet my junior year was the only meet of the season that you can qualify for state finals and I was planning on making it with my 4x400 team.  We were very close to getting that time and place to make it, but something else happened that was far greater.  My 4x800 team pulled the fastest time ever at Mott and we broke the school record and made it to state finals!

The way we accomplished this was totally random.  All we set out to do was to stay behind the Walled Lake Western team the whole race and thats exactly what happened.  Our previous times werent even close to breaking the school record and we dropped our time that day by 20 seconds.

Our two seniors Zack and Josh pulled out the first two . . . Read More..
