So last friday morning I found out my grandpop frank died. He was basically my hero and I really looked up to him so much. His parents died when he was 8, and he had to drop out of school and started doing construction since then. He had a couple of heart attacks during his life. He was a mummer. He smoked a cigar all the time. He could not watch Eagles games since the late 80's because he got too worked up and he also couldnt drive anymore because of the same reason. But the man never complained about a damn thing. The man was a wise guy and I loved that about him so much. He was a south philly Calabraise Italian who worked his ass off his whole life. He was a wise guy italian who stole a bunch of cars in his hay day. One of his best friends nicknamed "Swap water" or "Swampy" came up to me at the funeral and told me my Pop Frank was a south philly street fighter, and didnt back down to anyone, and that he used to fight side by side with my pop. He was my idle. I look exactly like my pop. And Im so proud of that. Everyone at the funeral told me we look exactly alike. Its pretty cool his wedding pictures look identical to me. Rest In Peace Pop, Frank J. Verderame. My cousin Mike and my Uncle Joe and I are getting tatoos in memory of my pop.

The next day my truck takes a shit, so im done with it. Im selling it to my cousin and im buying a pretty cool Jetta tommorow.

But some people told me things will be better soon. And things are getting better. I just got a another unexpected raise at work. Im finnally getting a reliable car, and im leaving for vacation to Virginia Beach Sunday morning. Ill be back Friday night.
