So here I am, standing in the rain.

So here I am, standing in the rain. I can feel the water pooling in the soles of my sneakers, they won’t survive this storm, I hope I do.

I can see the center in the distance.

I’m almost there, breathing getting harder and harder to do, I look up at the sky again, the anger is getting stronger. The wind is fighting against me as I continue to push myself forward.

I remember the Weird Al Yankovic version of this song except I never actually heard it. I read it in a book about facts that I had when I was like fifteen or something young as hell like that.

What did the child with no arms and legs get for Christmas? No arms and legs that’s for sure. I’ll tell you what he got. A fucking sick skateboard with flames on the bottom. Yeaaaaahhh. Now he can roll around in style.  Who says you can’t do anything without any arms and legs man we just want to flex on all these motherfuckers that ever did us wrong or looked at us sideways. They don’t get our struggle why would maybe because they never lived a day without limbs Maybe it was limbs of a cow I don’t know what to do I am vegetarian this is not my cup of tea, I can throw up my guts over this!! Am I Still a vegan if I can eat animals with the grass that I ate them on.? Lions do it all the time, right? I don’t know what the logic in that would be. But who cares power to all the vegans and to hell with everyone who eats any ANIMAL product!! Save yourself from years of harm. Its animal cruelty for God sake.  

How could someone eat a living thing, I mean ANIMAL. That just disgusting! Have people really lost all respect for life? Where has the compassion disappeared to? I don’t know. Maybe it went to my ass and thighs like everything else.
