Apr. 30th, 2003 03:36 pmDid you ever have friends who got shitfaced and went firewalking? I did. Especially George McCready. That dude could walk shoeless through a pit of red-hot embers and not bat an eye. And a lot of times there would be broken beer bottles and stuff in the fire. I swear I don't know what was wrong with that boy. George was the kind of guy who was one class short of an engineering degree yet would never take that last class because he didn't want to graduate and grow up. I wonder what ever happened to that dude. He's probably touring with the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow or something.

Apr. 30th, 2003 06:40 pmI always fuck up when I try to take pictures of people around town. Like when I tried to get those two guys on the bus, I accidentally left the flash on and ended up attracting disapproving stares from everyone on the bus. Another time in downtown Drew, MS, I got threatened when I tried to take pictures of some guys hanging around outside a juke joint. Today as I was stopped in traffic on Dixwell Avenue I happened to have my camera out, so I zoomed in on a woman walking down the street--more because I just wanted to see if I could get a decent shot of her than because I thought it was going to be an awesome picture or anything. And sure enough, before I could snap the picture, she zipped her head around and started cursing me out like crazy. She even shook her fist at me! So there I was with a FANTASTIC shot right there in front of me, with the woman's gold tooth flashing and underarm hair billowing, and I got so nervous that I missed her entirely and got this guy instead.
The funniest part about the incident is that I had Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind blaring at top volume, so I really couldn't even hear what she was yelling at me. (Going only on my lip-reading skills, I'm pretty sure it involved the word "motherfucker," though.) So I was sitting there yelling back, "Pardon me?" What kind of badass am I? Nobody says "pardon me" when someone's cussing them out. That's senseless.
I should have decked her ass with a tennis ball, but I was fresh out.
