Jimi Hendrix Story! Woo!

For once, we finally read a pretty good story in class. This made me happy!




Anyways, we just got done reading a story called "Because My Father Always Said He Was The Only Indian Who Saw Jimi Hendrix Play 'The Star-Spangled Banner' At Wood-stock." This was a pretty interesting story. At first, I thought it would be another bogus story that we had to read. I was wrong! This story had me laughing, and I was very into this story. It was a very descriptive story. I felt like I was actually there. Nuts!


There were a ton of funny things in this story, but a couple of things stood out for me. I love some of the things that the mom said. "Your father was always half crazy." "And the other half was on medication." That got me chuckling a little. She also said this. "There must of been a hundred times he passed out on top of me. We'd be right in the middle of it, he'd say I love you, his eyes would roll backwards, then out went his lights..." I was shocked. This story is so open. It's amazing.

Overall, I'm glad we actually read a story that was somewhat interesting to me.

Haha Glad you liked the story Keenen. You probably liked it because it was so inappropriate!

Just kidding!! =)

Yeah I can agree it was pretty comical; I even LOL'ed a few times when there were those odd descriptions about the mother and father's sex lives. Hahaha. And I too enjoyed the quote by the mother "Your father was half crazy, and the other half was on medication".

Peace out!
