my first rant... i am so excited. now what to complain about. i could complain about the guy at burger king who puts my fries in upside down all of the time. the mailman that cannot get anybodys address right, or i could complain about emo teenagers. no i think that i have something somewhat better.
my wife asked me several weeks ago to drive the car in the homecoming parade for her school. sure i said, no problem. got the car cleaned up a little today and headed down to batavia. i lined up with the other verts and started talking to people that i knew. late 90's cobra, new lexus, new chrysler, my gt and a 67 mustang. all nice clean cars, no junk. i have 2 nice young ladies and and a young man riding in the car with me. they ask if they could pass candy out and i agreed. playing music and casual conversation was leading to a good time. we get about halfway through town and then it happens. stupid disrespectful people start throwing candy back at the cars. not tootsie rolls and soft candy but suckers and other rock candy. this stuff is bouncing off of the bodys of all of the cars. to many people around to figure out who is doing it. all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye i notice someone drawing back getting ready to throw something. there it goes and hits the car in front of me followed by another.then he steps around and i get a good look at him. to my surprise the person had to be in his 50's dressed in a buisness suit. our eyes made contact and he could tell that throwing one in my direction could lead to a bad day for him. i watched as he walked down the road away from the parade. after calming myself down, my thoughts returned to all of the emo teens that seemed to be everywhere.
