I had a fantastic Fourth of July! Friends,
family, great food, and fireworks. They had turtle races, a raffle, cake walks, and sack races. What else could a man ask for? I'm even going to be in the newspaper
eating a hamburger. It's nice having grandparents that know everyone in the town and all the surrounding ones...including the editor of the local newspaper and all of his entourage.
I got to see a kid get an old
school whoopin' from his grandma, right in public. It's nice to know
some people still believe in discipline. Too many children are spoiled, disrespectful, and greedy. Humility is virtually nonexistent anymore. But that's for another day. It sure does take me back, though. He should consider himself lucky: at least he got to keep his pants on. HA! Good times. Good times.
Anyway, I get to do it all again tonight. Me and my grandparents are going to a good old-fashioned redneck barbecue out in a couple friends of theirs' field/camping grounds. More great food and fireworks. It's turning out to be a great weekend. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful family.
Well, I'm about 100 words short here, so let me try and think of something...one second...I think I'm on to something here...Ah yes, here we go. So, I haven't had a cigarette in over three months now. I've been smoking electronic cigarettes, but I think after this weekend, I'm going to attempt to quit smoking them as well. It's my next step towards bettering myself. My goal is to be able to run 20 miles a week by the end of summer. Wish me luck. Lord knows I'll need it.
