I’m not bragging. I’m just trying to verify that I’m not some idiot while my relative treats me like crap for burning a cheap glove. Everyone always thinks I’m bragging. You should hear the way “dad” discusses me. No one brags on me, so trust me, I never learned to brag.

It’s tempting. I feel the same way. Legally, though, it would make my day if the sheriff’s department would just bring cadaver dogs to his house and have them sniff along the north west side of the house. That’s all it would take, and then he’d be exposed for so much past abuse. I don’t even want to share all of the details until they dig and find the evidence. I’ve been angry, I’ve been sad, I’ve been just void of any feeling towards him; all of this over the course of 35 years. I they would just dig after having cadaver dogs sniff this place, I wouldn’t even need words to explain all of the past abuse. I would be financially screwed over and in need of new housing arrangements. It would probably bankrupt me in legal fees to explain all of what has happened. Despite all of this, it would be worth it.

Yeah, I followed advice that was on a sports website, as well as stated in an ESPN interview. I guess you think you’re above everyone else to the point where you can judge someone’s actions as stupid. If you had pretty good stats in school, that most likely would include your SAT, ACT, and maybe an ASVAB. If you scored well on those tests, you aren’t of average intelligence. It’s the “cool” trend to snub academia, and it’s getting on my nerves. When adults shrug off academic success and even snub it, the next generation views it as unimportant. They even see it as “uncool” to be academically successful. All of those posts containing store front signs that say, “closed because we can’t take cards and our employees don’t know enough math to make change”, aren’t really a joke. It’s sad. Yeah, go ahead and put me down. I hear degrading comments every day. If stating my achievements bothers you, then it says more about you than it does about me.
