Homies

By Wendy | December 16, 2007

Ah, Insane Clown Possie.

These guys are a rather new discovery of mine. Actually, it was my younger sister Josie who got me to listen to them.

Obviously, this is a song for friends.

For me, first and foremost, this is me and Coconuts’ song. Coconuts and I have known each other since we were four years old. Our parents were friends, and we were a year apart, and generally hung together, along with two other boys his age, children of our parents other friends.

Eventually, we wound up working at the same place in high school, where we became real friends. There were many shenanigans at that place while we were there. :)

Now, we’re smoking buddies, and hang out whenever we can, nice and toasty.

This song also always reminds me of my college friends, the ones who I used to hang with back in the day. We took road trips, drank heavily, and had an amazing intense friendship. They were my second family. We even spent Christmas Eve together, after our bio-family events. Then we’d gather, drink, party, and have good Christmas cheer. I love hung over Christmas morning.

Sadly, growing up, we grew apart. Many of them moved further east out on Long Island, and I went west, to the city. I was done with my A.A.S. and working full time while they were still in school. Now that they’re done, I’m going back. Time and distance, and we haven’t seen each other in ages.

Everytime I hear the lines, Who loans you money/who owes you cash?/Who taught you how to use/the bong for the grass? I think about when we rented a cabin upstate, the seven of us. It was the first time I smoked pot, ever, and they had to help me use the bong. One person told me when to pull, and someone else pulled the piece off when I inhaled. There are some great photographs of me, that week, in sweats, looking all shifty doing bong hits.

One of the many reason I will never be elected to public office.
When you snuck the car out who did you get?
And when you got colour, who you blame that shit?
Who do you relax around and scratch yo balls?
Homies, were talking about like you and yours!
