If THAT picture isn’t cool and fitting at the same time. Dang. I want that framed.
So spidyredneckjedi wants a memorization. Well I’ll give it a shot.
I have a lot of early memories of this guy and, I am ashamed to admit, most of them involve people being mean to him. I remember in Boy Scouts when he was the only kid who did not know how to use a hammer. At the time we thought it was hilarious, but looking back it is kind of sad. Some kids just are never taught such things. I remember we all made him think we were lost on this long hike when, in actuality, we were all standing in front of the trail that would lead us home. I remember kids teasing him relentlessly about many things: his being overweight, his being poor, his strange geeky tastes.
I am ashamed to admit that, at an early age, I participated in some of these activities.
Sometime late in middle school or early in high school (I can’t remember exactly) he moved down South and we thought we’d never see him again. We just let him fade out. Then, for no reason, he was back. Out of the blue.
By this time I had changed considerably. I had gone through a time of social rejection and found myself sitting in the back of the room or along the wall, staying out of people’s way, staring at the floor as I went place to place. I had only a few friends, I loved Star Wars and classical music, and I got excellent grades. When spidyredneckjedi came back, I completely forgot about the years in the past and quickly embraced him as a friend and never looked back.
Ever since I can safely say that no man I’ve yet know has shown more integrity, sincerity, and good nature than spidyredneckjedi . He is honest, intelligent, funny, trustworthy, humble, courteous, hard-working, and if I am King Arthur, he is definitely one of my knights. spidyredneckjedi has over come hardship after hardship, climbing out of every hole, leaping every trench, taking every cheap shot and keeping his flag held high where everyone can see it and no one can touch it. Yes, he likes Spiderman, but I won’t hold that against him. After seeing Spiderman II and how he saved the people on the train, Batman and Spiderman can get along with each other now that Spidy has earned his “wings” in my book.
Oh and he likes Star Wars. As far as I’m concerned spidyredneckjedi is OK in my book. And believe me, people WANT to be in my book.
Uh….. I’m going to have to go with Wolverine on this one.
Take care pal.
Well, that is it as far as requests go. Is there anyone who has not been memorized yet that wants to? Just leave a comment and I’ll do my best.
