actually yeah, i got a little story to tell, as much as my dad is an alkee and a burn out, i have so much respect for him... his family was shit, his parents were totally losers and didn't support him, he was a slow learner, and he grew up in a bad neighboorhoood. Whne he was about my age (14) he was working to jobs after school until midnight, he worked the second job at a bar washing dishes, he got a ride home from his boss one night and he had been drinking, they got t boned by a semi and everybody was hurt, the boss was a pussy and ran away, while my dad was holding this half dead guy that he worked with in his hands. We always see it on TV when someone dies in somebodys hands, my dad actually lived it, he was the only one that stayed back for the guy and tried to save him. people were coming to help but as soon as they took one look at my dad and the guy beside him, they ran away because it was such a horrible sight, my dad left with only a big cut on his eye and a few broken bones, he was very lucky. I just can't imagine living 14 years old and having to buy your own socks, school supplies, ect. its amazing he turned out fairly well.
He got in about 4 fights when he was 15 because his sister was retarded and everyone mocked her. If you ever see my dad hes about 5'3', 150 pounds, very very small, when the guys were mocking his sister were about 6 nothin, average weight, big. He never lost a fight, its amazing what you can do when somthing you love is on the line, he beat up this one guy, guy got up after, called his sister retarded, made some jokes about how short he was, my dad broke the guys jaw. He started bleeding instantly, my dad ran, he felt super bad but this guy had it coming, he just wouldn't stop. It was on the news a few days later saying this guy had a broken jaw in 3 places, a concussion, and had to get full reconstructive suregery on his jaw. cops were looking for my dad, parents were mad at him, moved away and lived on the streets for a bit, then got his life back in shape. He is defenitly my idol in life other than the smoking and drinking part. Well that his story, hes an amazing guy, Love ya dad...
