Posted: 06/11/04 - 22:03 Post subject: My realpoor love for all of you graduates

This is dedicated to all of those who are graduating high school this year, or who have already graduated. I was inspired to write this after hearing that graduation song on the radio. I wonder if they'll ever quit playing that song. -------------------------------------- . So there you sit, in a crowd with your peers, with your tassle, robe, your sunglasses and that cocky smirk on your face, noticing and being noticed. This is a big day, isn't it? Important day? . It turns out that it isn't, because you are no more special than the class of 2003 or 2005 or 1971. You aren't going to change the world nor make a difference. You are just another teenager. We all know teenagers are selfish and attention-starved, and being 18 means you have now reached the pinnacle of those two special attributes. . But now that you've graduated, it's time to talk about something else. Something you've put off with excuses and pleads at the dinner table. It's time to get a f*****g job. Get a job and contribute, because that's how anyone of worth will see you now: Employed or Unemployed. In reality, you should have had a job since you were 15 (or younger, God bless), because the earlier in life you work, the sooner you become responsible and the sooner appreciate the things you have. . Sadly, however, you are jobless and thus you'll sit at home, looking at college plans you'll never fulfill; sitting around and expecting your dream job to fall in your lap. Well guess what. I hate to break it to you, but you aren't going to suddenly make 90 grand a year with your own Car Audio business or something. Instead, you'll work at Radio Shack, Best Buy or other such places until you're about 30 and realize that the dream was over before it even had a chance to begin. If you knock up your girlfriend, forget it x2. . I could say more, but instead I'll leave you some important advice that I like to share with all graduates like you, walking tall and proud with that diploma you worked sooooooo hard for: Get liquored up and die in a wreck...as soon as you can. At least people might have fond memories of you, rather than seeing you grow up and fade away into oblivion. Love, Silvermouse

Do you know who did it?

If so, did you kill them too?

And if so, what brand of anti-freeze? I would imagine such and occasion would call for the expensive brand.

My guess would be that your dog was a major pain in the ass, and was hated by more than just the guy who gave him that special treat.

Not quite sure really, not sure what brand of hotdogs he used to soak them in either.

And no I didn't kill him. I really wanted to burn his house down with him in it, but I couldn't be %100 sure it was the person I thought it was, that and I'm not an arsonist.

He liked to sneak under our chain link fence and run around. Never cause any harm, he just liked hunt. He would bring back rabbits and such, run around with the stray dogs in town. No one hated him save the one a*****e. To this day I would still like to see 3rd degree burns over %90 of his body, I guess hold somewhat of a grudge.

Hey... I've worked since I was 13. Been fired twice and I've learned a long since then. Responsibility being among the best learned lessons to date. But god damnit, my dream is the Car Audio industry. so f**k-a-you!!! anyway, yeah. I'm planning on moving out to Ohio and working for a guy that does NFL Player vehicles and the like. then taking the knowledge I gain while there, and returning to my roots, in Philly, and doing the "good installs" here. /flex
