LOAF BOY

Welcome to my hopelessly out of touch life.

Today my friend Dustin posted on his blog and he scanned in a sheet of paper from when he was younger and trying to think of possible screen names... among his list were:

resident zombie
final flesh
metal snake
SOLID metal snake
(not to be confused with regular metal snake)
heavymetalrocker
punk of funk
broly the unholy
soul snatcher
hell beast
son of bitch

with a short list of (as he referred to them) "stupid" names:

eskimo man
loaf man
bread boy

and I started thinking about my first encounters with the internet
I remember my first AOL account was JellyBeanKid143
because that's what my mom called me when I was little
and sometimes still does
and I would go onto beanie baby chat groups
and I would tell everyone their beanie babies could not compare with mine
even if we had the same ones
and I would tell people that my beanie babies got shipped from far off places
as if beanie babies were unattainable in southeastern wisconsin or something
I also remember talking to a young boy on there named CHAZ
and we would fight about whose beanie babies were cooler
and if our beanie babies were to battle, which would win

I never put my beanie babies in a real battle, though
my mom would've killed me
we kept them all in a china cabinet in our front living room
and never even got to play with them

I later saw that beanie babies were becoming less popular
and suggested my mom sell them and put the money toward something cool
and she didn't
so we sit on hundreds...if not thousands...of dollars
in beans
fucking BEANS.




on the flip side, my brother's going home from the hospital on friday fa sho
I love him.
