Great Story
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd. I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him... He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives. ' He looked at me and said, 'Hey thanks!' There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football
with my friends. He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him... Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, 'Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday! ' He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.. When we were seniors we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor and I was going for business on a football scholarship... Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak Graduation day, I saw Kyle, He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high> school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.Boy, sometimes I was jealous! Today was one of those days.. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, 'Hey, big guy, you'll be great! He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. Thanks,' he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. 'Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story. I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. 'Thankfully, I was saved.My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.. I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy> told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions.. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse.

Null and Void
The poll for best guest writer has officially been ruled null and void and invalid. Chase, one of the contenders, voted for himself 3 times, and now the poll doesn't count. Thanks a lot Chase!
Not much has happened lately. Big event coming up for me which i am particularly excited about! St. Patrick's Day is Tuesday, i am 2% irish so i guess i will celebrate the holiday in one way or another. For Lent i gave up Popcorn and so i can't have it tonight and i usually DO have it on Saturdays and Fridays and occasionally on the weekdays. I went to another Fish Fry and wasn't as lucky with Pickles. It was a fat chance of that ever happening again. I am still feeling a little ripped off for only getting $35. Oh Well, cant change it now. Jared has been sick this week and now i have something close to it. I have a cough and last night i did not sleep so well and i took a much needed nap after school today. And now i feel...Bum Bum so good, bum bum so good i feeeeelll good. THat was supposed to be that song, but you may not understand when you read it. Oh well. I got a new poll question, check it outttt.

PS: Even though i took a much needed nap today, i am still totally against naps!

Dad's Dilemma
Well, i tried to forget about the deal that was made, but my father did not. So here is his post:
Greetings fellow yabos!! I don't know if Zach told you, but a deal was struck last Friday night at St. Columbkille's fish fry when Zach opened up a pickle card and we won $130. Zach felt that since he opened the winner he should get a cut of the winnings, and I agreed, but we could not reach an immediate settlement. The negotiations lasted for hours, at times neither side would budge, but an agreement was finally reached. Zach received $35 and I get a special guest appearance on YaboMania. When I first requested a guest spot on the blog Zach said, "surely you can't be serious" and I told him, "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley." Since Zach's cousins Josh (Junior) and Chase (Francis) got blog spots I said what about the fajah (father). Zach has reluctantly agreed, so I'm going to share a real life cop story with you that I experienced about three months ago. Warning, if you have a weak stomach, you might want to discontinue reading.
About three months ago I was driving my cruiser near 168th & HWY 370 when I saw a vehicle parked on the side of the road, the doors were open and two men were standing on the passenger side of the vehicle. As I got closer I could see one man screaming at the other, it was obvious that he was angry and possibly wanted to punch the other man. So I activated my lights, got out of my cruiser, and approached the two gentlemen. Both men noticed me and the man that was extremely upset walked towards me, and as he got closer to me I could smell something rancid. Before I could ask him what was wrong the man said, "Sir, that's my friend and I was trying to help him out, but look what he did to me, I'm so mad I could break his nose right now." Now as I observed this guy I knew he didn't smell too good, but as I looked at his clothing I noticed chunks of vomit on him. The man continues,"this stupid idiot got paid today and decided to take the day off of work and spend his paycheck at the bar. He calls me for a ride home because he can't drive and look what he does to me, he pukes all over my car and all over me." Now I look at the guy that just vomited inside of his friends car, and he decides to take his jacket and shirt off and start to wipe down the interior of the car. His friend, who has cooled off by now, tells him not to worry about it and starts to help out when all of a sudden he runs to the grass and begins to vomit as well. He looks at me and says, "I have a weak stomach, I can't stand the smell." By now I'm laughing so hard that both guys are looking at me probably wondering if I was a real police officer. Both men ask me if I want to see their I.D.'s and I tell them,"to be honest, I don't want to touch anything close to you guys." I directed them to the nearest carwash and watched them drive away and I was still laughing because the driver had the dry heaves as he drove northbound towards the carwash. Sick humor I know, but I still laugh whenever I think about that day. Thanks for the opportunity to be on YaboMania Zach, looks like I picked a bad week to stop taking amphetamines. Joe B.
