I know, I know – what’s up with all the old shit these days, right? Just feeling a tinge of nostalgia. I keep coming here to blog for real and then I get all distracted with old photos and Jonny Craig news. (The cats are being treated to his solo ep on repeat and LOUD today; aren’t you envious of them and their pulled-back ears?)
Anyway, this photo was taken in McKees Rocks, near Henry’s work. I remember when I originally posted the whole set in 2008, I got in all kinds of shit from townies who found my post and didn’t take too kindly to the fact that I was basically like, “LOOK I WAS IN THE GHETTO YOU GUYS!” because you know how fantastic I am at making snap judgments and being a wizard with stereotyping. I believe I was told by one McKees Rocks resident to “go back to Happy Valley and stay the FUCK out of our town!” and I was like, “OK THANKS I WILL GO BACK TO MY DUPLEX THAT ONCE HAD A CASUALLY-STREWN ROGUE NEEDLE BY THE DRIVEWAY!
”
(OMG maybe it was Jonny Craig’s!!!)
Then there was the time I posted about some guy who was arrested for shooting people at a bar right by where I took these photos and I called the guy a motherfucker, which really angered his ex-gf who found my blog and chewed me out about how “HE IS NOT A MOTHERFUCKER HE JUST GOT MIXED UP IN SOME SHIT OK REALLY!!!!” and back then I laughed really hard but now that I think about it, I’m fairly certain that’s how I come off when I defend Jonny Craig.
Man, I have had 2008 (and 2005) on the brain lately.
I think I need a vacation from my head.
Wow!! It only took me months, but I am finally caught up with your blog again. I disappeared for like, a year (even off LJ, pretty much, which is a SHOCKER, I’m sure) because life’s a real bitch sometimes and has a tendency to intervene. In that time, I broke off for good with that douchenozzle, Wes, and have since met a really fantastic guy who clicks with me in ways I never dreamed of before. (You might or might not have seen some of this via Facebook, because I don’t go on there that much anymore).
Anyway, now I’m BACK, and just in time, as I’m finally joining the ranks of the special and getting myself one of them thar smartphones, so now I can catch up with people at work on the DL!
I’VE MISSED YOU!!!!!!
