Things you will never forget

[Crane]

What is something you've experienced/witnessed that you will never forget?

A few moments for me are:

Leaving my 1st job. I loved most of my coworkers, but I just couldn't deal with the disrespect from management. I was doing so much for them, but received little to no recognition for it. I was doing more than the managers most days. I had to leave because I was SOOO burnt out. I worked 6 days a week, most of which were 10-12 hours and this was at a damn local pizza place. To quote CM Punk, "I was never gonna get healthy physically, mentally, spiritually, or emotionally, staying in the same place that got me sick in the first place." I've since moved onto my 2nd job and feel better in all those ways.

Speaking of CM Punk, being there for All Out 2021 and seeing Punk's first match back since 2014. I never understood what it meant when someone says they can feel the electricity in the arena, but that night made me totally understand.

A couple smaller moments were seeing Avengers Infinity War/Endgame opening day. I had been watching those movies since I was 8 years old and seeing it come to a satisfying conclusion 10 years later was just so sweet. 

So everyone, what are some of your unforgettable moments in your lives?

The Streak breaking in 2014.
I was watching it with my late older brother, a friend and his dad, and one of my best friends growing up. Man that room went silent, I thought the ref messed that count up.
That whole night was jam packed, and WrestleMania XXX was one show I will never forget.

Edge returning at RR 2020 watching that with my gf and her family, my chick though it was a hoax and didn't want me to get disapointed.

Watching HHH break into Orton's house the go home Raw before WM 25. I was watching it with my dad, my dad was awesome and played along like he thought it was real. And get all hyped with it.

I was in my 6th period chemistry class wearing black ripped jeans, motley crue tanktop a cardigan when I was notified I was leaving class early that day to find out my brother passed away due to a overdose. Very rarely do I remember outfits I was wearing unless like this.

My first day as Correction Officer Cadet at my first jail and getting yelled at because I showed up in shorts lol.

The first time I got pepper sprayed.

My first use of force as Correction Officer at my first jail. I was 19, it was about 2 years ago. A mentally ill inmate barricaded himself with a broom. And threatened to use it on himself. And I grew my first set of balls as officer then sprayed him through the food port.

My first mass disturbance this as my current jail. I was still in recertifying training and had a broken finger. Inmates start flipping out and breaking $$&&&#* everything. And they had me and the other new guys sit in a control room and record everything happening. And it was like front row seat to chaos. Tear Chaos was deployed. That was a sight.

When I did Animal Services with the Sherifs Office our unit reacted to an officer related death in a pursuit on a highway. I worked the entire scene and did traffic control. I'll never forget that day.

The last day of My Junior Year I did a photoshoot with a female friend that I was always on and off again talking to. That was fun, then I got a phone call that my buddies were having bonfire. I went, it was 25 minutes deep in the middle of nowhere in a dirt mesa. Perfect send off for my wild junior year and the awesome times I had during summer school that year. We went off roading in my buddies four runner. And we forgot one of the friends fell asleep on the roof he went flying off as we slammed on the gas.

I have so many awesome stories from my late High School years and days i'll never forget.

Both of the days I got my dogs, I'll never forget.

Some special days with my girlfriend, like real random. Going to a hibachi grill and spending time at the mall.

I've been to a couple of indoor Metallica shows since, but this one will always be in my mind.

Wrestling related, my Gran and Papa buying me a Classic Series 2 Ric Flair as a thank you for me taking them to a wallpaper shop they didn't know existed in town and then saying we could go to Scotsman Models and I could pick out a figure.

That story is so powerful as a memory to me, one of pure joy and happiness and to this day my Gran has a Ric Flair Series 2 I bought her years later still MOC in her spare room. When I bought her it I said my only request is that when she's no longer here, I don't want any money or anything like that left to me, but I want the figure. It'll always remind me off both my Gran and Papa and that's the best memory I have of them both.

It doesn't sound like much to anyone else, but to me that whole day I can play back in my head step by step. I was only 11 and it still holds the same feeling when I think about it.

The day I met my wife. I was only 17 at the time, there was no inclination at the time that I'd marry this girl one day, but that was the day I met the group of friends that would define my earliest post-high school days, and she was right there with them. I can still play that night out in my head.

The day my son was born. More so, the entire weekend. My wife called me Friday to tell me that she was being ordered into the hospital that night to be induced because our boy had stopped growing in utero. She was in labor for 60 hours before they ordered a cesarean on Monday morning. Four pounds, nine ounces, and as long as I live, I'll always remember when I finally got to lay my eyes on him for the first time.

Other, less life altering moments will stay with me forever. One that always sticks out is the time I participated in George W. Bush's 1st Inaugural Parade. I had no business being there. I was completely out of my element, and the entire thing was a complete comedy of errors, but I was there, and I'll remember it as long as I live.

Back in 2010, there was a mine explosion over here. Some people still had hope that some of the miners survived but then there was a second explosion a few days later, which pretty much confirmed their demise. U2 played here the day after the second explosion. They dedicated Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For to the town affected (although Bono got the name wrong) and then One Tree Hill, which for several years they only played in NZ, to “the 29 lost”. During the solo, they scrolled the names of the miners on the big screen. I remember looking around and there literally wasn’t a dry eye in sight.

One day at school during lunchtime, my friend got a football accidentally kicked at his head, a bird sh*t on him, then he slipped and fell in mud and as he got back up off the ground, his pants ripped. I've never seen such bad luck happen all within 40 minutes.

I bought that bike with my paper route money in 1979. $80 for an ugly beige Cimarron 10 speed I got at Jamesway. If you can find it, you can have it!

Attending WrestleMania in 2019. Was year in the making and never felt possible before. Aiming to go again next year.

The trauma of being coldly broken up with after a 3 year relationship last year.

Too many.
But ill tell one random one…

It was just before Christmas a couple of months after 9/11. I was at an airport waiting for my brother and his friend coming to visit me in Florida. There was heavy security at the time and heightened awareness at airports but as I waited at the receiving end of a shuttle tram for my guests there appeared to be a moments neglect where an Arabic man found an opportunity to enter the shuttle getting around all security measures. There were many others around me but I had to scream and push past them in order to stop the shuttle and point out the man. Security came running over on alert and removed the man and brought him to the correct security station. The man then waited there in line for a while before walking off.

I've wanted to post this for a while now... There are quite a few things but one for sure is so special to me.

Now I don't remember the actual year this took place but many years ago, I am guessing maybe 2000'ish, maybe 2001 or 2002. There was a meteor shower, I believe it was Leonid if I remember right. If was very late at night, maybe early morning, again it's hard for me to remember exact the details. It was all over the news of how spectacular it should be. Usually I hear all of the hype and it amounts to nothing. But this time was different. Shooting stars everywhere in the night sky. They looked so close as if they were going to hit houses. I ran inside and woke up my kids (and tried to wake the wife but she wouldn't budge). I had to let my kids see this as it may be once in a lifetime. Us three out there in the cold dead of night staring up at the night sky in awe. It may have lasted 30 minutes or so until it started to slow down so we went inside along with some neck-aches and back to bed we went. Words cannot explain how special this was for me to have my two children experience this along with me. It was something out of a movie. I never will ever forget it. That special night will always remain in my heart.
