A Little Trip Down Memory Lane...

So for some odd reason I was thinking today about what was the most shocking thing that happened in 2008. Other than the whole presidential blooblah one paticular thing popped in my head. But of course I can't just tell you because that wouldn't be fun. Instead I'm going to start from the beginning and explain the whole thing...just bare with me trust me it's interesting...

When I was in high school I always had this one paticular dude in like all of my classes. His name was Jerry Carter. He was quiet, shy and usually kept to himself. He was ironically in like all of my classes, even theater (of all classes). It wasn't until my sophomore year that I decided to get to know him and actually talk to him because he didn't seem to have many friends. He was harmless and actually pretty funny once I got to know him better. So from then on we took theater together and what not and were on a pretty good friend/aquaintance level up until we graduated. Well it just so happens that even after graduation I bump into this guy at the big festival our little town has and we touch basis with one another and he hugs me and we say our goodbyes.........now here comes the good part.....

A couple of months later, in september or october, I was for some odd reason watching the local news for once and the top story came on. The story was about 18 year-old Jerry Carter Jr. of Archdale NC being arrested for two counts of child molestation and possible rape. HOLY SHIT! I could not believe this. It was one of those things that supports the idea that people have about guys like him are the ones who normally do stuff like that...the quiet and seemingly harmless ones. Lets just say if Mr. Carter and I ever meet again, it would not be a hug he would be getting from me.

This is a true story lol
