i am proud, i just ain't singin' about it....

so... i don't know. not to make light of stuff and to trivialize yet more stuff- here's a story.

At my high school (council rock), the senior class takes the 'Senior Class Trip' it's essentially 4 days of way over-chaparoned fun. A bunch of us went, and as karyn and i signed up late we ended up having to room with two other girls who signed up late. this wasn't really a problem, because i was at a point in my life where i was so meek, i got along with everyone.

anyhow....at the time of our trip, there was the gulf war in full effect. when we flew, we weren't supposed to even be 3 steps away from our bags at the airport.

Perhaps one of the most vivid and painful memories of the trip, was that one of the girls, this wall-of -a-softball-playing girl brought her cassingle-copy of that wretched 'proud to be an american' song along with a radio. and out. played.the.shit.out. of. it.

it was the first thing i heard in the morning, the last thing i heard at night.

it was really painful.

i heard it this morning.

dear radio stations- let's not hear it again, 'kay?

smooches
