one thing about yourself story challenge

Post by stilltrucking » March 21st, 2009, 11:28 am

three minute open text box ramble about one's self. About me, the flea on the dog of consciousness.

10:27

me first of course

I can't stand success.

one minute staring into a blank text box seeing the words in the fog the nightmare fog.

10:30

10:32
two minutes of editing
so that makes it a five minute ramble

I am a coward

I was so scared you could not have drove a ten penny nail up my ass with a hammer.

My eyes wide open, my heart racing, my fears racing,
I had a grip on the seat with both cheeks.

But I did not stop, keep on trucking cause I did not want to cause a hundred car pile up of trucks and cars, listening to a police scanner.



Yes I am a coward and a lucky son of a bitch.

Something like this.

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/E-xL5bKxzd8&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/E-xL5bKxzd8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>



I killed my last dog. People say it was not my fault but I think it was. I was out to The Bear's house out in the country where I buried my dog. The Bear insisted that I take one of The bear's dog. So now I got another dog, this one sings when a police siren goes by, but she does not fear the vacuum cleaner.

Not much of a story challenge, just trying to kick start this board because I liked those story challenges on litkicks a lot.

Thanks for taking a stab at it.

in the fog
what is ahead of you
and what is behind you

you can't go forward
and you can't stand still
you are lost man just lost

best not to be there
but it comes on so fast
and then it is too late.

staring into the fog
straining to see tail lights
and some crazy mother fucker comes flying by you in a truck hammer down.

it is all in my head, all that fog, the white outs, the burning cars, the hamurger all over the road

the sunny days
the freezing rain
slick mountain roads

how does it all fit
inside a size seven and seven eights J B Stetson
all these words, and worlds and stars and people and cars and trucks and boats and mountains and

all in my head.
outside my head is another world filled with all kinds of stuff too.

I ought to get out of my head and check it out

as soon as I get my head out of my ass

I once got into a tug of war with an elephant and lost. Then she curled her trunk up under her chin and whipped it out and caught me on my chin. And as I was falling to the ground she hit me again.

It was a rule of the boss that no elephant could harm a human without being punished no matter if it was the human's stoopidity that caused him to get hurt.

So I had to take a piece of two by four (do you have two by fours in Norway?) and hit her over the head. But then the boss said "No no no, you will never hurt her that way, hit her on her toe nails"
I am not proud of myself for doing that. I used to wonder how the people who took part in Milgram's infamous experiment felt about giving those electric shocks. Now I think I know.



Delhi is one of the elephants I used to haul around for that circus I worked for.
But not the one who punched me out.

They say an elephant never forgets.
i have done many things in my life, but being a Nazi was not one of them.

I like banana flavored pellets. A primate can never have enough of them. Thank you
