The Downfall of Us All

It's been a few days since i was on here, and after last night i feel that i have enough to write about from the past week. so lets go.

i dont remember much of last weekend other than saturday. that night i froze at the POWRi race at Belle-Claire. i had nothing else to do and it was the last race of the season, so i figured why not, lets go and have some fun. turns out it was a lot of fun. great racing like always, but there were like 5 or 6 flips. alot more than usual, but everyone was fine. in fact, during one of the heats, a mini sprint flipped, they got the guy rolled over and he came back to finish i think 3rd in the heat with only a bit of damage to his wing. it was cool to watch. after the racing was done, i hung out in the pits for awhile and then went home. i was cold and just ready to get home. they did finish the races unusually quickly though so there wasnt a rush to get back home.

the other thing that happened that was significant to me was a show i watched on FUEL TV. there was this show called Props, which followed bmx teams going on trips and just following them around as they free rode in different countries and sometimes just the US. i saw some pretty sweet stuff and i got an urge to hit some jumps or make a dirt hit. that was a really cool show though.

now lets go through the school week. i think it was tuesday i got a 100% on a math test, something that probably hasnt happened since grade school. i was really happy it happened too. i take trig, and earlier in the year, there was some stuff that was giving me trouble and my grade was an F. the quarter ends this coming week and i am in striking distance of a B. im so happy about that. thats pretty much all that happened at school that i can think of.

yesterday. heres where it gets fun. the past couple days and into yesterday afternoon, its been raining. i like to sometimes do powerslides in the rain cause the roads/parking lots are wet and its easy to do in my 2001 bone stock ford escort. me and one of my buddies met up at the park and i came in and did an awesome one. so that was all for then. we chilled there a bit then went to his house, then went to go pick up a friend from the movies. turns out though, i was picking up 3 friends at the movies, and me and my buddy who i was with were like what the fuck is this? so i just drove us around until they wanted to go back to their cars at the movie theatre. half of the lot was empty, so i figured id try to do a huge slide like the one at the park. so i look to the left, which is where the slide is heading, and i tried to find the ebrake behind the movies i had just bought that were sitting right there. its almost like fates way of saying, don't do. do i listen? of course not. i pull it and it only kicks out a bit. then i turn to the right to see a cop driving down the aisle of cars next to me. sure enough he pulls me over and all my friends are like "you seriously didnt see that?" i said "no im looking to make sure i dont hit nothing."

so this is the first time its ever happened to me. i am shaking like a leaf. if i get a ticket, im done. my dad will rip my liscense up with his bare hands. so i turn off the music i had blaring after my buddy yells at me to because i cant think straight, and the cop comes up to the window. asking if i always drive like that. "Uhh...." (Me) "sometimes?" (cop) "Yeah sometimes....rarely" then he asks what the letters FSU stand for on my back window.

lets flash back real quick like. 2nd week of high school football, and our school plays our biggest rivals from literally right down the street, Belleville West. the night before, we had a big bonfire where we got pumped up for the game and we threw some West stuff in the fire. some chicks were writing on everyones cars Beat West, or Go Althoff, and FSU. i asked one girl what it stood for. "Fuck Shit Up." apparently its the teams motto this year. theyve had a couple sucky seasons and weve lost our reputation of one of the best teams in the area. this is our comeback year.

so fast forward back to last night. the cop asks and lets do some dialogue again. "What's FSU stand for? Is it some straight edge stuff" (we got a laugh outta that one later seeing that i was dropping people off before going to meet up with my staight edge friend) (once again) "Uhhhhh...I'm not sure if i should say. I didn't write it on there though, its a school thing. Its the football teams motto" "You can say it I won't blush" "Ummmm....(insert nervous chuckles here) Freak Stuff Up." i wasnt gonna cuss in front of a cop although its not a big deal for him. "So Fuck Stuff up." "Yeah yeah."

So after that he got my liscence and insurance, and i was surprised i was able to get it out i was shaking so much, and everyone else said they saw me shaking too. so he comes back, hands me my shit and says like "drive slower" and walks off. im askin my friends "is that it?" one of em said wait till he turns off his lights and then you can go. so i did so, restarted the car, and they got out.

so we laughed about that a bit the rest of the night. after this incident, we proceeded to the park to meet up with our friend and his girl. we just chilled in his van for a bit listening to music then took it outside in the parking lot cause obviously no one was there due to the cold and wet conditions. we pretty much had a dance party out there, with mosh pits, head banging, the usual kind of stuff. it was a blast though. came home after that and barely squeezed out a win against FSU (ironically) in the Orange Bowl in NCAA Football 09. after that i watched Ghost Adventures and went to bed.

that was pretty much the most exciting parts of my past week. hope you got some laughs. later party ppl
