Today is one sad day. As some of you know, and as for others that don’t, my great grandpa passed away on Monday. It has been an emotional week for my entire family because he was such a wonderful guy. I know he taught me a lot and I had many great times with him, he will be missed dearly. I was holding up fine about this whole thing until today, at his funeral. My mother got up and shared some memories and kind words about papaw, and I did everything I could to keep from crying. I managed to hold back most of it but I shed a few tears. He had been terminally ill for about a year, so it’s amazing how strong he is because a year ago the doctors were saying he only had a month. Well it is amazing that he hung on that long for many, but as for his family and friends we could tell you that is not a surprise. He was so wonderful, and it is a pity that the rest of his great grandchildren didn’t have as much time with him as I had. Me, of course, being the oldest and first great grandchild he ever had, I loved him dearly. My grandpa…. Papaw’s son, whom I have never seen cry also cried today when my mother was speaking, seeing that made it just more emotional for me. Once again I was a pallbearer for like the 4th funeral in a row. I know my great grandpa is in a much better place now, it is just really sad to see him go. Well guys, let me move off of that subject and onto a, I guess, lighter one. A week ago (last Thursday night) I was sitting outside my dorm with my friends Jennifer and Ashley just talking and all of a sudden where Jenn was sitting the mulch around the flower pot just kicked up and shot mud all over her..... Well it was a water balloon...... I stood up still in shock and looked around for where it came from and I saw in my dorm on the top floor some faces peeking out of a small crack... I knew it had come from there and the girls stood there for awhile and then went inside to clean up....... well I stayed out to watch there purses.......... one thing that my 2 friends learned about me that night was that when it comes to my girls I will do anything and stand up to anybody to protect them....... so I stared and I was infuriated but just kept staring up at that room..... and the guy threw another balloon out and it seemed like they may have tried to hit me but it didn’t because they have really bad aim... but then one of the guys started talking to me saying hey we are just trying to have a little fun man that’s all...... and I was like you know you just splashed mud all of that girl.... (Well we were throwing a lot of curse words in there too but anyways) he just kept saying it’s just water dude chill..... and I was like you hit the fucking mulch and knocked up mud all over her and started going on and on to this guy bout how that’s fucked up and he should stop doing that right now...... you wouldn’t believe seeing me talk to that guy, no one did..... My friend Corey, one of my suitemates, just happened to be walking outside and I told him what was going on but he couldn’t believe how much I was going off on these guys..... Everyone learned that night that you don’t fuck with my girls... there is little I wouldn’t do.... yea those guy are prolly all about 7 foot tall…. Considering they are Marshall Basketball players… but I don’t care I will put up as much of a fight (verbally or physically) as I can with no hesitation..... when they threw water balloons at Jenn that infuriated me...... I could here the guys inside saying hey you want me to go down there and teach this kid a lesson.... I’m not one to jump right into fights but if he was gonna come down I was like come on I didn’t do anything but be near the hazing of a friend of mine... I'm the victim.... so I would love to see what kind of lesson he is gonna teach me, I was sure it wasn’t “gentlemanism”...... but anyways the girls came back out in the middle of me yelling at these guys and I pointed out to Jenn who did it to her and they kinda went inside the room so the girls decided they didn’t want to be over there much longer.... which was probably better... so we went to another dorm and shot some pool.... well while I left to go there…. my suitemate Corey decided to run back and help me because he knew that I couldn’t take on all of them by myself even though I would try my lil heart out....... but when he made it back I obviously wasn’t there because I had gone over to the other dorm..... so as soon as my suitemate made it back to the scene.... my RA ( resident assistant) which is kinda like my floor manager ran out and was like I want to know what the fuck is going on..... and Corey was like Nick told me some guys were throwing water balloon and hit some girl and that didn’t fly well with Nick and my RA said get Nick on the phone so Corey called me and I talked to my RA and pointed out where the guys were throwing them from but I don’t know what happened after that I don’t know if they had a talk with them or what.... although I do know my complaint to my RA wasn’t the only one…. my girls also told their dorms security guard about it and reported it..... but it was so crazy yelling at those guys I had no regard for myself at all I was totally focused on standing up for what I know is the right thing to do and not just let it slide and go clean up and leave..... While I was yelling obscenities and such there were other guys yelling out their windows saying like shut the fuck up we have a final tomorrow and trying to sleep..... I was just like whatever... so the basketball players should be treated as disrupting the whole dorm or something..... but these are basketball players so I doubt anything will happen to them because people seem to think they are the exception, well I don’t care what people think I am not going to ignore it and let someone do that to the girls a care about.... but all of Friday I was finding myself checking around to see if I could spot them before they saw me so I could avoid confrontation… but that is my story of Thursday night… and I think most of you know I'm not one to jump to fights… but I wasn’t all like bring it on, to them.... like even in those situations I know how to handle emotions.... like I was careful to not say anything direct towards them like.... you bunch of assholes.... or you dipshits... or something like that didn’t call them anything...... one of the guys also said so what you wanna hit me with a water balloon and then I immediately replied I don’t want to do shit... I want you to keep your toys away from my girls. So it was pretty crazy, well anyways…. I am done with school for the summer so please someone get a hole of me if you would like to do anything…. I get pretty bored, and I know I am not the only one out there…… so call me up, or email me, something… please! Haha well I might be starting work soon but I am also gonna go apply for a job at Walmart or Blockbuster…. If anyone knows the positives and negatives of working at those places, please share…. But I am telling you anywhere other than the place I am working now would be better…. Ok this is way to long…. And for those of you who actually read the entire thing… thanks, I know who really cares….. later!
