I was bullied as a kid and wrote about it many times here, it’s one of those things that sticks in your head forever and drags your self-esteem down. As if I had any to begin with. I did not have many friends so the ones I did have were special to me: they were also rejected by the popular kids. When I got to Junior High I had pretty much given up on having more friends than the ones I had or being someone other than who I was, the Town sissy. I gained two more friends in Junior High: Oscar, and Larry. Larry was Black, Oscar was Hispanic, not many kids were friends with kids of color. Oscar was a chubby kid, and Larry thin and lanky. Our favorite thing to do was run up and down stairways, there were quite a few old buildings in Hammond most were open even those with no one around. We ran everywhere when we were not in school. We had the classes in school like everyone did everywhere, English, Math, Art, Geography, then there was Gym class. I hated Gym class because I did not feel like I was like everyone else, I felt weak, I could not fight, I would not fight, I hated competition. I would not compete, I would give up before anything started because I knew I would lose anyway. The Coach his name was Coach Ozag was 6’6 built like a shit brick house, handsome with long sideburns down the sides of his face, he drove a 1968 green Mustang. He was a really nice man who tried to get me involved in sports but I was totally uninterested. During Wrestling class I was the easiest to beat because I would not even try I’d just turn over and get pinned it was pretty sad really.
I was in Junior High a few months then my Father passed away it was sudden within a couple of days after he became ill. The day after he died I went to school, a bully started teasing me calling me a bass turd, I snapped and hit him over the head with a chair. He got a metal plate in his head. I did not spend much time in school after that, within a year I went to Military School that was when I started fighting back becoming violent. I did not see my friends so much after that, only when I’d get a weekend pass from whatever institution I was in. I got thrown out of a program in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and went back to Hammond. Larry was in college somewhere so I never saw him again but Oscar was around, we got drunk a few times before I left Hammond for good.
About 2010 or so I got on Facebook and found Larry and started writing to him we exchanged addresses. He went to college, met a gal, married her moved to Jackson, Michigan had kids worked for a University as a Maintenance man. We got to talking about old times and he said the best thing he enjoyed as a kid was “Whupping my ass in Wrestling class.” He went on and on about how good he felt kicking my SISSY ASS ! Will he did not know that since the last time he’d seen me I had become a serial killer and had done 20 years in prison for killing and eating my family, (But they could not prove it was me because they could not find the bodies.) He was about to find out because I was about to be paroled from prison in Pontiac, Michigan and I needed a place to stay in Jackson because I got a job at the University (where he worked) and he was to be my boss. So I explained to him that I needed a place to stay for a while just till I get on my feet. He wrote nothing back to me I just kept typing, “Yea it was really weird we moved to Saugatuck, Michigan a nice little town and just had Sunday dinner. I was tired and laid down that was the last time I remember till the police woke me up they found me in bed naked with a bloody ax, there was blood all over the place but no one else was there. I don’t know why I went to prison I didn’t do anything. Oh well anyway, I’m getting out in a couple days it will be nice to spend time with you and your family.” Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha .He did not think my joke was very funny though he thought it was funny that he whupped my ass. Needless to say, he blocked me. I’m still laughing about my sick joke I have found a few people who used to tease me when I was a kid and not one of them wants to be my friend, or Dinner. That is just how I paid back one of my bullies bet he is still scared after I told him that story…HERE IS YOUR SCANNER REPORTS.

I have been having it rough lately with arthritic pain in both wrists and other joints, but especially painful in my wrists since I don’t walk so much anymore because of the quarantine thing. I have gained weight and I just feel like basic shit. I guess one of these days I’ll just be dead and since I’m an old white male boomer that will make some people happy until they get old and young people say, “It’s about time some of you old fuckers die” then the young assholes that say that kind of rotten shit now will know what it’s like I would like to be here to see the looks on their faces but I will be long gone then oh well who gives a shit?
