Ideas for my memoir: 10 minutes free writing per 3 topics.
1) Family, Food, and Fishing.
I remember a time in my life and specific age group that all i remember looking foward to was going to my grandads and having good food and fishing trips. Regardless of the day or when we always had a great time. Everynow and then i wish i could go back to those times and have them over agian, because of my age and freedom changes that ive gone through while graduation my family has become more distant, not by want but just by the fact that its hard to days that i dont have class or am doing something and have the family find a non busy day. I wish that i could have gone to school closer and it would have been as good as TTU but there wasnt one close enough.
2) Driving lessons: Instructor Mom
I remember the first time i got in the car with keys in my hand and didnt have to give them to someone else...yet. So it was a few days after my 15th birthday that my mom descided to try and teach me how to drive. We started at the high school parking lot that id been in hundreds of times with friends. and have driven my buddies car there, well mom assumed i was a retard and had to tell me everything about driving and not just once, but every time i had to do something. so my driving lessons were more of a lecture with a video game in your hand then actualy driving anywhere. Finally at last my dad had to do it because i couldnt and wouldnt go to the parking lot with here. He gave me keys, a quarter tank of gas, and said go get some gas, and some grocerys, be back in 2 hours. A real world crash course in driving, but made me the good driver i am now, rarely pulled over for anything broken tail light or, profiling cops see tinted windows and want to pull me over.
3) Gas pedels, automatic Jeeps, and broken drivetrains.
While being in the lovely time of 18 year old with a car and gas money, I was always in the jeep, offroading, racing to school on backroads, driving to work and burning off tires when leaving work. I treated that jeep like a peice of shit my dad said, but i dont think so, i think i treated it with respect and drove it like a jeep. when was the last time someone bought a jeep so they could have a car for the next 25 years. Its made to be dirty, fly down backroads, and mabye hit a few jumps in its day. One day in particular of idocricy, my friend neutral bombed, for anyone who dosent get it ill explain in a second, his truck and left one hell of a burnout for me to show up. I didnt have time to brake stand it for the burnout but had to leave one while getting under way. I descided to follow his suite and N-bomb it, that being rev engine in neutral and then drop it to drove w/o taking foot off gas, I held it at about 6000 rpm and droped it into D. I later learned that on that day the D stood for, dead, debt, drivetrain explosion, and death from parents. I hit drive and heard a huge explosion from under the car and then a smacking sound alternating from hitting metal to hitting pavement, i knew what it was right then, my buddy had done that just 3 days earlier, the drivetrain had broken loose.
