An Abrupt End to an Even More Abrupt Friendship

An Abrupt End to an Even More Abrupt Friendship

Eat at Joe's

I love this stuff. God it is so good!
I don’t even have to knock on wood.
I get the same thing,
Each time that bell rings.
I wish this place looked like it should.

My Story

The late afternoon sun shone down on the boring party. It was a mix of the complete opposite groups, and myself being one of the middle I had endured comments about both. Most of us were bored out of our minds, while others were broken into scattered groups that had invisible barriers; I stood in one spot, conversing with whoever was there. He stood a couple feet away. After our last fight, which ended with an apology and an awkward hug we were now back into the confusing relationship that changed daily. Though I had no particular romantic interest in him, something about him made me (make that everyone) care about his exact words and gestures to me.

Lisp

Babbit now has
A lisp
And I'm not
Making fun of her
(Regardless of what she believes)
But it's kind of
Funny because she sounds
Almost exactly like
I thought she would
And it's kind of scary

Crash and...Splash?

Summer brings so many good memories. Like how I learned to water ski in 2005, how my family had gotten a new knee board, and how I was the first one to get up on Lake St. Catherine in 2006, when last year my parents got my whole family season passes to the Great Escape. We went to the Great Escape probably 15 times, so we definitely got our money’s worth.

you are a redneck if...

1) you use a no trespassing sign as a cooking griddle
2) you give your wife a gun for her wedding present
3) you use a tire to start a fire
4) you date your cousin
5) you can burp and swear at the same time
6) you name your kid after a cow
7) all you watch is CMT
8) all you want in life is a beer and to see something naked
9) you got a close relative named “bubba”

Comedy

They sound like a laugh track.

I am trying as hard as I can to be funny tonight

Are they really laughing?

Are they just humoring me?

I want to be funny.

But am I?

What do they think is funny?

Is it what I want them to think is funny?

Is it my attempts at being funny?

How can being funny be so serious?

My Fair Binder

My binder,
So soft and pink.
Well,
At least soft looking.
I just emptied all of the papers out of you,
So why,
May I ask,
Do you look so full?
You look as if you are with child,
a bulge in the middle,
just popping out of nowhere.
It is because I have just put more writing utensils in you,
Or have I already filled with more knowledge then you need?
My poor binder,

Got Ya!

Got Ya!
A true, true, story that is really true. Truly. [It’s true.]
Last December, I really pulled the wool over my mom’s eyes. And very tight, too.

Role Model

Role Model
I have two younger brothers and I can tell that they look up to me. My brother Hunter he is 7 years old. He likes to look up to me all the time. But my other brother Caden is 2 and he likes to look up to me all the time more than Hunter does because he is younger.

Poor Little Piggy

I hear the piggies crying,
Listen closely and you can even hear them sighing.
They run and run but one unlucky pig isn't fast,
And soon his life will be a thing of the past.
He tried so hard to get away without being taken,
But now he is the best part of breakfast,
oh yes. . .the bacon.
