I had to walk through two feet of snow to get to school, and had to cut through a unplowed cemetery to boot. To make it worse, I had to do this wearing Levi's, carrying my books and smoking a Marlboro with one hand and a ghetto blaster with twelve D batteries in the other. Then I had to go to ski club after school and do it all over again. Luckily the Walkman had just been invented and I could crank cassettes on the chairlift through my $200 Walkman which cost more than my skis and boots combined. Doesn't anyone roller skate with a ghetto blaster on their shoulder anymore? I don't have a problem with wires. I notice them but they don't bother me because they've always been there.
