Yeah well, Eddie, I'm not the perfect little kid ethier. For the most part I was good.. but I raised hell with my uncle Dale, I spray painted the side of one of his cars, I screwed with alot of his stuff and what not, and when I was 12, was kicked out of middle school for I think it was 2nd degree breech of peace and 2nd degree threatening. Go figure. I didn't do anything, but it must have been meant to be. I don't know what to believe religeously, so I'm not going to mention anything about that at this point. But it happend. To this day, about 4 years later, I haven't spoken to any, except one, of the people I knew back then as "friends" and I think it was for the better. I've done more growing up I think since that day than I could have done throughout my teenage years. But at least the judge told me I had the best parents shes ever seen in her courtroom. They both had to work the day I was due in court, and all the days I had to go in for probation and what not. But they BOTH showed up for all of them, well, except the probations, usually my mom took me, but both of them showed up for the rest of it, and both of them work 8am-6pm or more and are both remarried. Very responsible parents so the judge said. So again, I'm not perfect, I have my flaws and I've made my mistakes(at least thats what the legal system says). Hopefully alot will be done to the cars come this spring. Also, I'm a little upset about this too, but not as much as you might think: my father is yet again going with my stepmother to ****ing Staten Island to visit "family" (not by blood or marriage to my knowledge, but I really don't give a damn about my stepmonster or her 'family') and he won't be around to help me a little more with my PC project. This is probably the 5th week or more IN A ROW he has gone with her elsewhere. Me and my father used to go racing R/C cars on the weekends, or work on projects, but she steals him away now as much as she can, every chance she gets, and he doesn't want her to get pissed off because it only gets worse from there and it is easier to just make her happy.. even though he doesn't want to go. But thats not really the problem. Its more that he has to try and help me when he gets home from work every night, inbetween cooking dinner and doing that shit. I really would like her to just go places on her own a little more often. I might sound like a normal kid saying all this, but you have no idea how much of a bitch she is. I've tryed for 5-6 years to make peace, she won't have it. I've taken more people than I can remembers' suggestions, and nothing. I'll just stay home and hope I don't blow myself up this weekend. ===== D.G. 713 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
