When I was 15, I was asked by the Inquiring Photographer at the Rolla Daily News what I'd be doing for my 4th of July. "Blowing up things," was my response. Mom & Dad were mortified when my smiling mug appeared in the paper with this caption, next to pictures of other decent upstanding citizens with far more boring answers.
So what will I be doing this 4th of July?
OMG. Yeah. Mom and Dad were so embarrassed that you seemed like white trash. "Blowing up things."
BTW, the white-trash, baby-toting, tattooed, mullet-sporting, toothless, leering red-necks were out in *full* force this holiday weekend in Rolla. I mean, seriously, where do all these people come from? And where do they hide the other 364 days of the year? Questions that we may never have the answer to. Anyway, Love!
They live in the knife/gun section of Walmart and emerge between the hours of 2 and 5 am.

I also used to hang out with Heather and Luke and the Norm 4 Eva kids. As well as being around down town Lincoln for about 3 years. Worked at A Novel Idea and spent many days at the CoHo and many nights at Duffy's or O'Rourkes... good times.
That is until I moved to Seattle last September.
So, from one former Lincolnite to another - good luck and all. If you ever talk to Heather or Luke, tell them that 'Matt from the bookstore' says "hey".
