I was just listening to some country Music and remeniscing about childhood Memouries. Anybody reading grow up in the Country, or stayed/lived there for a Tyme? My second best Memouries from Childhood, second only to living on India just down the Ditchdump from Jacob, are the Memouries I have of going to Craighead County, Arkansas out at 1683 County Road 204... That long stretch of(once) dirt Road held, and forever holds my Heart and best Memouries. I remember going across the Road to one of Gary's Fields and blasting the Tornadoe Shelter with Bugspray to kill the "Waspers". I remember sitting under that old "Guinea Tree" in the front Lawn of my Grandparents' House making Cigarettes with my Cousin Brandy and my Brothers when we were far too young, and we KNEW we shouldn't have been doing that. I remember how my Brother, my Cousins and I used to always go waiding in the Ricefields and "hiking" across the Dam at Big Creek. I remember, if you turned on the Radio, there was ONLY country Music on. EVER! I remember being bloody scared shitless that the "Yipper" was going to eat me and my Cousins. I will never forget the Tyme that my Uncle Gerold showed up at the House well past Midnight when my Brothers and I were sleeping in the Den. He pulled up in his Truck, just after we had seen a Report on the News about a Man hiding in People's Chicken Coops and murdering the Familes in the Area, pulled out his Shotgun and headed for the front Door. He knocked on the Door, and of Course, my Brothers and I did NOT dare open it. We were so scared... I miss my Family so much. I almost wanna cry thinking about how distant I've grown from Heather, Brandy, Jacob, Christy, and Cassie... :(
I talk to Heather online once in a blue Moon, and Jacob as well, although a little more frequently, but if I saw Christy or Cassie on the Street, I wouldn't know who they are... I would know Brandy, she's always been my favourite girl Cousin, she really knows how to get dirty and have Fun and forget about what People will think/say. It almost feels creepy talking about her as if I know her, when we've grown so distant. I think it's Tyme for the Wheeley's to have another Family Reunion/Redneck Tractor Club Meeting, hahahahaha!
But really, I miss the Country so much. There was nothing to do out there, yet there was always something to do... Know what I mean? In the City, when there is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, cos you'll get in trouble with the Popo...
I remember how Brandy and I used to go and do Yardwork for old Miz Raines. She was tell me how nice of a young Lady I was and how handsome a young Boy Brandy was. Haha! I just loved how the Mosquitoes would just gather all over her as if she had any Blood left to give them. She was sweet, but her House smellt terribly of old People(her). She had an awesome self conscious Dog, haha. She accidentally burned him in a Bag and forgot about him though. :\
Her House was made from two old Grain Silos and she had an old old old Tractor Petrol Pump on the Property.
As for now, I'm working on revising and editing a middle-school English Book to be distributed throughout China in a few Weeks and it is absolutely DREADFUL the English they are trying to pass off in these... :(
I wanna quote one Page, cos it had me cracking up for a while:
"Christmas Day, December 25th. People often send Christmas cards to their friends, relatives, etc. They also make a Christmas Wish Tree to scare away the devil"..."On Christmas Eve, children can make their wishes, which their parents will try their best to realise."
Just soak that up... :)
