My Story

For as long as I can remember I have always considered myself to be a special person. Now I know that sounds kind of stupid and your probably saying to yourself that everyone thinks that im a dumb ass, and I understand that. But I do believe that I am a special kid. I look at life in a real funny way, like it is just a series of quizzes and tests that are thrown at you unexpectedly.

I grew up in a very small town in Ohio, where my parents both had jobs and were trying their hardest to make a decent living for me and my sister. Needless to say I wish that I could have realized what all they were going through back then, but I just was not old enough to appreciate it yet. Ever since I was a little boy my dad always preached to me about hard work and practice. I can remember always being a fucking stud at everything that I ever did, and no matter how good I was at the time I can always remember my dad telling me “there is always somebody out there better than you son.” The funny thing about that is I never really did believe him until I got into high school.

When I was a freshmen, I weighed about 90 pounds and I played both ways in football and was the best player on the basketball team. I was much better at basketball and football. Since I was in basketball I never really went to any of the off seasons so I really never got any bigger. Going into my sophomore year in football, I earned myself a starting position on the JV squad. I really didn’t expect to have a very good year due to the fact that I was so small and it was the first year that I ever played with people other than my age. As the football season went on I surprising turned out to be the best wide receiver on the team. Now I am not 100% sure of my stats on the season but I believe I ended up with 8 or 9 touchdowns. That isn’t bad for just a small white kid with a big heart. The one thing that sticks out in my mind for that season was the last game of the year. On the last play of the first half I caught my second touchdown of the game and got drilled in the head. It was the first concussion that I have ever had. I didn’t really know that it was a concussion seeing as that I stayed in for the second half only somewhat with it. I ended up catching one more touchdown in that game also.

My sophomore year was also a year that I learned a ton of things. I learned how to drink, smoke, and cheat exceptionally well. I cheated on almost everything that I did and even though I have never been the so called “hottest” boy in the school I would consider myself to be one of the “most clever.” See with just a little bit of charm and a funny personality I could get girls and guys to let me borrow their papers and look off their tests. I know this sounds really fucking pathetic right now, but I can assure you that I could have done just as good if not better doing all the work myself. The thing is I was just too damn lazy. Now back to the drinking and smoking. Midway through my sophomore year I got my car and my license. I don’t think I even knew what life was before I got my car. It was probably one of the best moments of my life. Having a car not only helped my social status out but it really gave me some self confidence which I was lacking severely at the time due to how skinny I was and how big my nose is. My car sort of inadvertently led to many different things. Only about a month after I got my car I drove over to my friends house and smoked pot for the first time. I can remember me tweaking so bad that I just laughed for about thirty minutes straight at my fucking dog and how he kept licking my leg. Needless to say, even though I did do some pretty dumb things back then I still wouldn’t regret doing any of it.

As I entered my junior year, I was going through the summer workout for football and just having a bad ass time. I was seriously living it up without a care in the world. I was so excited to play my first season of varsity football I pissed my pants just thinking about it. When school rolled around I was walking around like I had a 10 inch cock (which is far from the truth). I actually had a damn good reason to anyways. I mean I was 132 pounds, and I was going to be starting both ways on a 5A varsity football team in Texas. WHO THE HELL WOULDN’T BE?? I’m not going to bore your ass by giving you a play by play on all the ten games that we played but I will say that I had a pretty good season and I’m proud to say that I scored my only touchdown that year in the Marcus game when we beat them for the first time ever. At the end of the season I really didn’t want to play college football but when I got 2nd team all district without really ever working out or anything I got kind of curious to see if I could
