-Going Crazy in the Suburbs: 01-
|
||
by Hairy Leech
|
||
|
||
this is a general collection of lousy writings by me. some are letters to
|
||
people, some are just things i've written. some are new, some are old. some
|
||
were writting specially for this file, others were not. i'll leave it to
|
||
you to decide what's what. i'll just insert a handy "---" between each
|
||
file, so you know where one ends and the other begins. are you ready? well,
|
||
of course you are..
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
the day since i met her.. i can't believe it's true.."
|
||
|
||
howdy do. i dreamt a little dream this fine morn.
|
||
|
||
augh. the phone rang. i picked it up. it was teli. i knew it was him before
|
||
i even picked the thing up. is it esp? is it intuition? or is he just an
|
||
annoying piece of shit? hmmmm..
|
||
|
||
back to what i was saying.. i have been dreaming more and more lately. i
|
||
wonder what changed.. i'm happier now, but that's just because i'm out of
|
||
that blasted supermarket.
|
||
|
||
anyhow. you were in it, i suppose. i don't know what you looked like,
|
||
because, well, i would never spot you in a crowd, but it was you, none the
|
||
less. atleast, my mind kept telling me it was you. i suppose it was my
|
||
mind's impression of you. well, anyway. all i remember is that you were
|
||
wearing boxer shorts. i.. umm, well.. errr.. no comment. i don't know what
|
||
to think about all this.
|
||
|
||
it's easter. big whoop.
|
||
|
||
i won't lose your number. really, i won't. after i scribbled it down, i
|
||
took out my dandy black spraypaint and wrote it in big letters on my door.
|
||
i don't think i'll lose it. i have never been know to lose a door before.
|
||
then again, there's a first time for everything.
|
||
|
||
tomorrow.. tomorrow.. the sun might burn out tomorrow..
|
||
|
||
i may even call you this evening.
|
||
|
||
hold on, teli called back. augh, oncemore. let me babble at him..
|
||
|
||
easter. what a holiday. we get to eat the heads off of chocolate bunnies
|
||
and hunt for color-coated eggs. what fun. this, this is religion? umm..
|
||
ok.. sure.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
hey. listen to this. i have a story to tell. i'll tell it now, so that all
|
||
the vivid details come through and all that. i hate forgetting the depth of
|
||
my anger and whatnot. so here goes, eh?
|
||
|
||
i went to new york today. it was nifty. (it's saturday, 15th, i might add.)
|
||
on the way home, we (me, my friend teli, his mother, father, and 13 year
|
||
old sister) piled into a car and drove. it was roughly an hour and ten
|
||
minutes or so of driving. it was about 10:30.
|
||
|
||
alot happened in that car. it started out that the daughter (the 13 year
|
||
old) wanted to tell us (me & teli) about something that had happened to the
|
||
mother that day. the mother flipped out, didn't want it told. so the girl
|
||
hopped into the back seat and told us anyway.
|
||
|
||
it was a very daffy story, but i think i'll clue you in anyhow. the mother
|
||
was on the phone sometime during the day, and was talking to somebody or
|
||
other. the girl walked by, said "who is it?" and a small conversation broke
|
||
out. (small, as in only 2 exchanges, and really short ones..) then the
|
||
mother slapped the girl.
|
||
|
||
so, the girl went over and got some raid flying insect spray. she coated
|
||
the mother in this gunk, and it made her stink like crazy.
|
||
|
||
now the mother says it was disrespectfull. now, i (of course) can get all
|
||
caught up in this respect shit. allow me to do so. maybe it wasn't
|
||
respectfull. so? on the one hand you have fighting fire with fire. on the
|
||
other hand, i don't see how she can respect the mother anyhow. i don't
|
||
respect people unless they have something to teach me. and it seems to me
|
||
that all the mother can teach is anger and unwarrented attacks and narrow
|
||
mindedness.
|
||
|
||
at any rate.. the conversation got full of wind with respect. then it
|
||
shifted on over to rights. the kids (teli + 13 year old) said something
|
||
that the mother didnt like, supposedly a curse or something. then they got
|
||
onto what was a curse and what wasn't.
|
||
|
||
meanwhile, i was sitting by counting stars. i didn't think i should say
|
||
anything. it's their family, right? right. so i shut up.
|
||
|
||
then, however, the father reaches over the backseat of the car, and begins
|
||
striking the girl. multiple times. on the head. closed fist.
|
||
|
||
well, as you would have guessed, quite a many things went streaming through
|
||
my mind at that moment. the first and most horrid thought was "where does
|
||
parental punishment end, and child abuse begin?"
|
||
|
||
the night, however, was just beginning.
|
||
|
||
i was quite appalled by now, so i stuck my big nose where it didn't belong.
|
||
i started relating everything to politics and dictatorships and all sorts
|
||
of other things. now the the kids were happy, because they had a neutral
|
||
observer seeing things their way.
|
||
|
||
teli, at one point, told his parents they might as well shut up, because i
|
||
had them boxed in. i felt good.
|
||
|
||
so then things began to unravel. i mumbled something like "i don't think i
|
||
want to come over anymore, i don't want to get beat up for my opinions."
|
||
|
||
i think a few others came out that weren't too great for my standing with
|
||
the folks. i remember saying to teli that "..i just have to smile when i
|
||
think about the way your parents blame me for all this secretly.." it's the
|
||
truth, you realize. freethinkers bring everyone down.
|
||
|
||
okay.. so we eventually arive at teli's suburban dwelling. the folks vote
|
||
to take me home because they had enough of me and my opinions and my
|
||
thought-out thoughts. teli piled in the car and went along for the ride.
|
||
|
||
i got out at my house, teli got out, hell broke loose.
|
||
|
||
teli asked me if he could stay at my house. it seems his father used that
|
||
old line "my house, my rules." teli, i found out, had challenged him in the
|
||
car, so his father told him he didn't live there anymore.
|
||
|
||
so, i said "fine."
|
||
|
||
his mother, the twitchy rabbit type of person, went hysterical. she wanted
|
||
to wake my parents up at 12am and mull it over with them.
|
||
|
||
well, i had been very cheery and nice and compliant up to that point. here,
|
||
however, i told her to forget it. i told her i didn't care if her son
|
||
stayed or not, and that it was their problem to work out. i didn't want
|
||
anymore. you can only take so much..
|
||
|
||
it ended up that they pulled out of the driveway. "whew!" i exclaimed.
|
||
then, to my disgust, i saw the stoplights up the road a ways.
|
||
|
||
the mother came back, wanted to use the phone to call the cops. seems that
|
||
teli jumped out of the car and ran into the woods. the mother said if she
|
||
found out he came to my house that she would sue my and everyone i know. i
|
||
gave her my cordless and went to look for him, to prove i had nothing to do
|
||
with his hauling ass.
|
||
|
||
as i walked down the flooded road (it was raining) i got splashed, no,
|
||
drenched, with mud and water. just thought i would say that.
|
||
|
||
so i found him where i pretty much expected him to be, and i told him the
|
||
situation and the cops and all that. i basically told him that what he does
|
||
is his buisness, and that i personally supported him. i told him, however,
|
||
to do whatever he was going to do away from my house. that's the last thing
|
||
i need now - more cops. i feel like a backstabbing bastard for this, and i
|
||
suppose i am.
|
||
|
||
it ended up that he was just going to get back in the car and go home.
|
||
along the way, he said he was going to jump out at a stoplight or
|
||
something.
|
||
|
||
well i haven't heard anything yet..
|
||
|
||
i read your letter. i remember you said you didn't want to have kids. well
|
||
hey hey hey, it looks like we're riding the same bandwagon. i don't want
|
||
any part of this child-raising bullshit.
|
||
|
||
it was an educational evening, i must say. i remember saying that talking
|
||
to his parents was like talking to a brick wall, it just dosent work. then
|
||
a little later i said something like "you don't talk to brick walls, you
|
||
break them down.."
|
||
|
||
teli told me that he didnt care what happened, he just wanted to get his
|
||
family into some sort of counceling. it seems like he should be the man of
|
||
the house, atleast he can tell when there's a problem.
|
||
|
||
after the girl got hit, she went to say something else. (that's why she got
|
||
hit, for voicing her opinion..) teli tryed to make her shut up, and she
|
||
said that she didn't care if she got hit again, maybe he'd hit her harder
|
||
and she could just die.
|
||
|
||
somebody stop the ride, i just can't take it anymore.. 1:19am. i am sure
|
||
this night is going to burn into my brain along with all the other
|
||
hardships i have seen..
|
||
|
||
i was so happy today. damn it to hell..
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
it's still easter. i just learned of a stupid thing.. a really stupid
|
||
thing. teli's 14 year old cousin (female) wants to (and i quote) "go out
|
||
with me". can you see what makes me think this is so idiotic, or should i
|
||
explain? well.. just to be on the safe side. the whole "going out" thing
|
||
never appealed to me to begin with, because i think it changes the way you
|
||
act around people. i mean, if you like a girl, why should you rush out and
|
||
tell everyone you're "going out"? what difference does it make.. i suppose
|
||
this is why i think getting married is meaningless. it's the feelings, ya
|
||
know? of course you do. besides that.. i mean, jesus christ. it's only a 3
|
||
year difference. i dunno.. i don't know how i can explain it. it just
|
||
dosen't sit right with me for some reason or other.
|
||
|
||
want to hear something funny? she grabbed the phone out of teli's precious
|
||
little hand and started asking me questions. this was fine and dandy
|
||
because i'll answer just about any silly question you can think up. but
|
||
then after oh, a good 45 seconds or so, she asks me "are you a virgin?"
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------*
|
||
WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF QUESTION IS THIS FOR SOME GIRL WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
|
||
ME TO BE ASKING?!
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------*
|
||
|
||
it just strikes me funny is all. i am, and i told her that, and i also told
|
||
her i didn't see as it was the sort of thing you ask someone you don't even
|
||
know.
|
||
|
||
maybe you can figure this out. i mean, well.. what do i mean? i suppose you
|
||
know what it's like to be treated like a thing rather than a person. this
|
||
is a new experiance for me, however..
|
||
|
||
adkokjhfkakhfkfghkg!?!! i'm going nuts in his crummy fucking suburb. i'm
|
||
going to come up there some day.. some day soon. i won't tell anyone i'm
|
||
coming, either. i'll just wake up and say "hey ma, i'm going to boston."
|
||
then i'll just get there. i don't care how. i'll walk, i'll take a bus..
|
||
anything. i'm going to come up there and find out where you live. i'm going
|
||
to come up there and beat on your door until someone answers. and then,
|
||
then i'm going to bother you until you just can't stand it anymore. want to
|
||
know why? do ya? do ya, huh? so you can feel what it's like to live in the
|
||
boonies. that's what these bastards are like.. they're just hicks living in
|
||
condos. you can't shut 'em up and you can't tell 'em anything.. they'll
|
||
just keep annoying you and annoying you until you go off and kill 'em. you
|
||
read about it in the papers, i'm sure. about the isolated murder out in
|
||
east bumble-fuck, new jersey.. know what it is? it's some intelligent
|
||
person who finally broke down and couldn't take it anymore.
|
||
|
||
i mean this. really. i can't shut the phone off, the critters call the
|
||
other line they're not even supposed to know about. if they can't reach me
|
||
by phone, they drive over and come in. they don't knock, no no no.. they
|
||
just open the door, strut on inside and yell "honey, i'm home!" and then
|
||
they clomp up the stairs, because they are just too damned dumb to walk
|
||
like a human being. instead, they stomp.. maybe they're trying to scare off
|
||
small animals, i don't know.. they come, they come and they find me.. they
|
||
bother me and ask me stupid half-ass questions because they are too lazy to
|
||
think for themselves. and what's more, they ask me about things i don't
|
||
even care about.
|
||
|
||
they ought to nuke the suburbs. just give everybody a week notice, then
|
||
just blow the whole damn thing up. let the silly bastards die, that's what
|
||
i say. as long as they keep the warning in the newspapers, only the
|
||
intelligent people will know. hillbillys can't read worth a damn, they just
|
||
watch cosby and.. and.. and mtv for christ's sake. that's reason enough to
|
||
blow them to itty bitty bits.
|
||
|
||
am i too offensive tonight? i don't know anymore..

"reality is the only word in the language that should always be used in
|
||
quotes.." - my life with the thrill kill kult
|
||
|
||
today's the 21st. keep that in mind. yesterday we (me, teli, and sam)
|
||
hopped in the car and jauntered off on a shopping extravaganza. let me
|
||
explain all this..
|
||
|
||
about 4-5 months ago, this kid adam from new york ordered an american
|
||
express card. that was fine and good. not too long ago, maybe 2 weeks ago,
|
||
he got another card issued. now this is what he did. he had teli sign the
|
||
card, then go to stores and buy things. fine. then adam wanted to call up
|
||
american express and go "where the hell is my card at?" that way, he gets
|
||
free goodies and no bills. no worries. fine. dandy. what an idea. hell, its
|
||
just one of the loopholes in credit cards. i heard on the news today that
|
||
it's a $1 billion per year operation. someone's definately got their shit
|
||
together. anyway.. teli came back from new york with the card. adam got
|
||
what he wanted, a super-nintendo, so he didn't care what teli bought. want
|
||
to hear? lookie:
|
||
|
||
- portable c/d player ($150)
|
||
- 2" portable t.v. ($150)
|
||
- 6 c/ds ($80)
|
||
- car stereo ($200)
|
||
- assorted car stereo shit ($50)
|
||
- 400 watt amp for stereo ($250)
|
||
- answering machine ($150)
|
||
- radar detector ($150)
|
||
- car alarm for all his shit ($100)
|
||
- 5" black and white t.v. ($75)
|
||
- assorted t.v. shit ($25)
|
||
---------
|
||
ye grand old total: $1,380 (all figures approximate, of course)
|
||
|
||
that's not to mention the shit he bought adam in new york. all together,
|
||
about $1,600. want to hear what he got me? 2 c/ds out of everything. well..
|
||
he felt sorry about this, so we went out again today with some of his
|
||
insane greek relatives. he wanted to get me a $700 camcorder, the lunatic.
|
||
|
||
here's the story. we drive for an hour or so northward 'till we find a
|
||
store that's both open and carries camcorders. it turns out to be radio
|
||
shack. he buys a $799 model because it's on sale, and, of course, 2 blank
|
||
tapes to go with it. damage done: $892.51. crazy fuck. so they check the
|
||
card, and it wants the store to do a referral. what this means is they have
|
||
to call in the card with the real phone and talk to them. they do that, and
|
||
american express wants to speak to teli in person. they tell him that
|
||
someone or other has rung up over $3000 worth of merchandise in the past 3
|
||
days. they wanted someone to call them and verify that teli was the real
|
||
cardholder.
|
||
|
||
so. with this, we told them to hold the thing, we would be back later with
|
||
either cash or a check or something good like that.
|
||
|
||
now let me explain what all just happened. you see, we were abusing adam's
|
||
second card. it was tied up in the computer, connected to the first card.
|
||
and adam, being a dork, had his mom and dad co-sign or something or other
|
||
for his first card. amex wanted teli (who they thought to be adam) to call
|
||
his mom and dad, and have them call amex to o.k. the purchase.
|
||
|
||
we drove to a payphone. i was going to be adam's dad and call up. i did.
|
||
fine. we didn't realize the cards were strung together or how his parents
|
||
fit in. i was winging it. the first call got fucked. i was messed up,
|
||
pumped up on the adrenaline from the thought of stealing almost a grand's
|
||
worth of merchandise. that, and we had been listening to the revolting
|
||
cocks. i was wacked beyond belief. i couldn't think straight, so i bashed
|
||
my head into his car hood 2 or 3 times.. cleared me out really quick. i
|
||
made a second call, realized how everything worked, then realized we needed
|
||
adam's original card number. adam wasn't home. radio shack still has the
|
||
camcorder.
|
||
|
||
we got back in the car and headed out for some food and relaxation. just
|
||
about then, i realized my head was bleeding like mad. seems when i rammed
|
||
my face into his hood, i hit right where the hood and the side of the car
|
||
join. the space between them ripped a nice sized gash in my otherwise
|
||
beautiful forehead. i poured blood for a few minutes, they put the cocks
|
||
back on even louder, i was in the back, the bass was making my chest
|
||
vibrate. either my head stopped hurting, or i stopped caring, but i didn't
|
||
feel it anymore and i didn't care about the nice red blood stains all over
|
||
my face.
|
||
|
||
we fucked around, ate something, i don't remember what. greasy pizza, i
|
||
think. yeah, probably. his car stunk. i think his engine's fucked up. stank
|
||
like hell. we had the windows down as far as they could go. it was cold as
|
||
a bitch, i didn't care anymore.. noone did.
|
||
|
||
i'm home now. my head barely tingles. nice bump. looks like a damned
|
||
tumor. glad i don't have to work tomorrow. i'll go out for awhile, when my
|
||
charming mum sees it i'll tell her i mangled myself skateboarding. telling
|
||
her i beat my face into a car hood just dosen't sound that good, does it?
|
||
|
||
i don't know what's going to happen with adam. he's supposed to call in
|
||
the card tonight.
|
||
|
||
hey baby, this is grand theft and over state lines. they'll call the feds
|
||
in on this.. an investigation will come soon enough. let's hope we weren't
|
||
stupid asses and we drove far enough away when we went shopping.
|
||
|
||
you realize, of course, if i see a cop car pull in my driveway, i'm going
|
||
to end up hauling ass and becoming a faceless blob in the urban landscape.
|
||
i'll just have to come and live with you forever. heh.
|
||
|
||
no. no i'm pretty sure of this. we're safe.. atleast, i am. i mean.. damn.
|
||
i didn't get but $30 out of the whole deal. not that i care, but.. i'm not
|
||
going to get pinned with this.
|
||
|
||
then again, they can pin anyone with anything, if they really want to. god
|
||
bless america, hay?
|
||
|
||
amex exaggerated. they must have. $3000 from (at most) $1500? they have to
|
||
be kidding. it's the spending patterns.. nothing, then in 2 days, $1500.
|
||
crazy. really crazy. there was no question about it, they were going to
|
||
think something was up.
|
||
|
||
11:01. i need sleep, don't you? of course you do. let me grab 40 winks or
|
||
so.. i suppose i'll mail this tomorrow.
|
||
|
||
i practically drool when i think of you calling, but i really can't talk
|
||
to you tonight. i feel like shit. i'm numb all over and i need sleep more
|
||
than anything. can you hear me? you can. you know what i'm thinking, don't
|
||
you? please, don't call tonight. really. i mean it. just tonight. i just
|
||
need to be alone tonight.. just me and my thoughts. i need to think, i need
|
||
to dream, i need to let go of all this..
|
||

|
||
|
||
i dont know what i'm feeling really. i feel all sick and twisted inside,
|
||
and sympathetic to everything, and sorry for myself, and i feel motivated.
|
||
i feel driven to do something. i can picture a girl crying, and me
|
||
conforting her, telling her it's all ok, even though it isnt. i feel cold,
|
||
chilled to the bone. i imagine myself crying, sobbing quietly.
|
||
|
||
"creep into you
|
||
i won't go away
|
||
you're taking yourself too seriously"
|
||
|
||
i constantly think of going somewhere else, i try to picture a better place
|
||
to live, a place that isn't so damned corrupt or evil. i.. it's so stupid
|
||
when i think about it. when you look at it, it's just me wanting to run
|
||
away.. it's everyone wanting to run away. when people say "there must be a
|
||
better place" or "there must be one place in the world" you know they want
|
||
to go there. they're tired of the fight, they just want to go and be free.
|
||
i just want to go and be free. i'm such a fool. i may as well be taking
|
||
drugs, it seems like i want to escape so damned much. i ought to realize
|
||
that this is where i live, and it's not going to get any better unless i do
|
||
something about it. and yet, we should always dream because when we stop
|
||
picturing a better place, we start accepting what we have, which is shit..
|
||
so i suppose i am a fool again. we should dream, we should picture a better
|
||
place, but we shouldn't rush off to the 4 corners of the world trying to
|
||
find it. our better place is right here, but only after hard work and
|
||
commitment. duh. here i am anaylizing myself again.

|

|
||
holy shit batman!
|
||
|
||
do you realize how many trees we have wasted with all these letters?
|
||
sheesh. we're some really destructive critters.
|
||
|
||
do you know, do you know? no, you don't know. no one knows. no one but me,
|
||
that is. and i'm not telling. nope, no sir-e. i won't spill the beans.
|
||
|
||
i'm listening to love and rockets.
|
||
|
||
one of the bad things about this job is the discount. most people, i'm
|
||
sure, would see a discount as an advantage, and i did too, at first. but
|
||
now i see it as pain in the neck. being i get c/d's for $10 instead of the
|
||
$17-$20 mall price, i get this incredible urge to buy more and more and
|
||
more and..
|
||
|
||
i know what kind of hell you go through. really. i get the picture. know
|
||
what i'm talking about? of course not. remember how you said it was
|
||
annoying when you would call and the phone would be busy? i know the
|
||
feeling. you see, i dialed your number last night, and it was busy busy
|
||
busy. this was sort of a pisser, because i felt like calling and hearing
|
||
all of your little problems, instead of talking about the riots. i am sick
|
||
and tired of talking about the riots. it's all i've heard for the past 4
|
||
days. needless to say the topic is getting just a wee-bitty-bit stale..
|
||
|
||
did you see the new "barg's rootbeer" ad? it's something like "take a bite
|
||
out of communism." their cans and other rubbish have "free soviet stuff!"
|
||
scrawled all over them. i'm sure you're just about as thrilled about this
|
||
as i am. it just gets to me when they use the break-up of an entire nation
|
||
as an advertising tool. it's sort of like selling life insurance to
|
||
on-lookers at a car crash..
|
||
|
||
want to see something really neat? go snag yourself a copy of "people"
|
||
magazine. the one with jodie foster on the cover. the 50 most beautiful
|
||
people issue. go get one of them, and look on page 36.. it's a story about
|
||
leonard peltier! yay! and what's even more exciting.. on page 37, i think,
|
||
there's this picture of lenny and this girl named lisa with black hair.
|
||
nothing thrilling about that though, huh? WELL, it is to me, because lisa
|
||
used to be my old english teacher. she's the one who got me all ensnarled
|
||
in underground press and all that jazz.. and now she's going to marry
|
||
lenny. can you imagine that? i can't..
|
||
|
||
i mean, she told me about a year or so ago that she wrote to leo, and he
|
||
was sort of in love with her.. but this was a shock.
|
||
|
||
wow. i know someone who's almost famous. what a world, what a world, what a
|
||
world world world..
|
||
|
||
i think i'll beat myself over the head with a brick now. excuse me..
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
i saw a sign in a store window today. it said "team up with jesus." we're
|
||
living with a cult. it's all right out in the open, but it's still such a
|
||
secret to so many.. it's a cult, plain and simple.
|
||
|
||
so i'm drinking my welch's grape soda and listening to trent reznor chant
|
||
that's what i get" over and over and over..
|
||
|
||
i may be venturing back into the deep deep dark dark deep dark south this
|
||
summer. maybe late june or early july. maybe.. maybe.. we're mulling it
|
||
over, you see, the family and i..
|
||
|
||
maybe i'm all messed up.."
|
||
|
||
yeah, maybe you are.
|
||
|
||
of course, i will have to come and bother you before i go to the deep deep
|
||
dark dark deep dark south (if i go there at all.) i've actually made up my
|
||
mind. i'm going to come and see you, soonish-like.
|
||
|
||
this is the only time i really feel alive.."
|
||
|
||
shut up, trent.
|
||
|
||
maybe i'll burn something tonight. maybe that's what i'll do.
|
||
|
||
i had a 2 hour nap before, i suppose that's why i'm all wound up. almost
|
||
10pm, and i'm awake.. and bored out of my mind.
|
||
|
||
no one at work's seen "a clockwork orange." they asked me what it was
|
||
about. they said "well, what's it about?" want to know what i said? i said
|
||
"well, it's.. ...it's weird, you have to see it." they said it sounded like
|
||
pink floyd: the wall." it's not like anything.. it's like anything else
|
||
that i've seen.
|
||
|
||
they said that i must feel pretty low of myself since i never capitalize
|
||
anything. they said that two years ago. what do they know.. what have they
|
||
ever known? why am i supposed to have an ego a mile wide? am i supposed to
|
||
constantly be patting myself on the back for being such a good boy, for
|
||
being such a happy camper, for being such a dazzling conformist? and if i
|
||
did have an ego such as the one they thought i should have, they would be
|
||
running around calling me a self-centered stuck-up bastard. what gives?
|
||
|
||
fuck 'em.
|
||
|
||
meat beat manifesto. goodbye, trent.
|
||
|
||
now.. you can get down on your knees.. pray shout scream psyche out run for
|
||
your life.."
|
||
|
||
i'm a little cold. that dosen't matter.
|
||
|
||
my buddy dave forgot who i was. i haven't seen him in a year, but i didn't
|
||
think i changed that much.. he didn't recognize me until i came up to him
|
||
and said "dave.." he stood there sort of at a loss for words, then realized
|
||
who i was. "damn, you changed," said he. i still don't think so.
|
||
|
||
the cool word to be saying now is "hermdeflurge." get it straight, now. you
|
||
don't want to look uncool when you say it. "hermdeflurge." can you say
|
||
that? come on, "hermdeflurge." remember that. use it as much as possible.
|
||
you'll be the coolest kid on the block, or my name isn't jimmy joe the 2nd.
|
||
|
||
i would love to play the dead kennedy's at work, but i don't think the
|
||
other fruitloops could stomach it.
|
||
|
||
i'm all out of welch's grape soda.
|
||
|
||
believe me.. believe me when i tell you.. i saw it with my own eyes.."
|
||
|
||
and with that, i bid you a hermdeflurgingly good day.
|
||
|
||
--- it's umm. well it's thursday. i have some amazing news. want to hear?
|
||
of course you do.
|
||
|
||
i am now, deary, one of the top 3% of all americans. yes, i am now a member
|
||
of the elite minority of people who, despite all odds, have baffled medical
|
||
science. i am now one of:
|
||
|
||
THE FEW, THE PROUD, THE INFECTED.
|
||
|
||
it seems i have come up "snake-eyes in the genetic crap game" and i have
|
||
the amazing abilty to cultivate infections, even after i've been immunized.
|
||
do you remember my fever and wild headaches? well, that was just the easy
|
||
stuff. tell mom that justin really is sick, sick with a glorious illness
|
||
indeed. yes, it's an illness that needs no introduction, an illness by the
|
||
name of chickenpox."
|
||
|
||
i'm sure you're giggling. or laughing. or rolling about on the floor in
|
||
wild hysteria. yes, i can tell. i know you have this mental image of me
|
||
with pretty little red poka-dots all over me. well, you're right. i have a
|
||
whole slew of nice, pinkish-red, only slightly itchy bumps that will,
|
||
according to a medical handbook i just so happen to have, turn into "moist
|
||
blisters." ahh, what a wonderful artist is nature. i always wondered what
|
||
i'd look like with poka-dotted flesh.
|
||
|
||
well, maybe it's the measels. or maybe, maybe it's even the german measels.
|
||
either way, they are all outstanding ilnesses, worthy of praise and worship
|
||
by all human beings, animals, and perhaps even plant life.
|
||
|
||
hohum. now i don't know what to write.
|
||
|
||
so. it's 5 minutes 'till 1pm, i have to be at the doc's around 2ish..
|
||
atleast he won't be grabbing at the family jewels today. well, atleast i
|
||
hope he won't be. he may get some sort of thrill out of it, but it just
|
||
dosen't do it for me, thank you very much.
|
||
|
||
lipkowitz. what a name.
|
||
|
||
i knew something was wrong when i had this dream about my boss (jeff)
|
||
pissing in the corner..
|
||
|
||
the spots develop pretty quickly. in a day and a half, they've spread just
|
||
about everywhere. i think perhaps i'll just sit and look at my chest for a
|
||
couple of hours, watch a few of nature's little masterpieces form.
|
||
|
||
have YOU had any of these darling diseases? if not, please tell me. i will
|
||
gladly (and i mean GLADLY) sneeze, cough, wheeze, gag, and anything else
|
||
that i can think of into a ziplock bag. then, all you have to do is turn
|
||
the bag inside out and rub it all over your body. i'm sure the germs in the
|
||
bag would be more than happy to turn you into a piece of artwork too.
|
||
|
||
maybe i'll go read the paper or something.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
still the 26th. wild day.
|
||
|
||
about 3 or 4 hours ago it was raining.. i was bored, and well, you know my
|
||
position with the rain by now. i went out, i walked, it was pouring. i
|
||
walked out into the woods, walked and walked.. walked until all i could see
|
||
was trees and grass and pale grey sky. i didn't want to see anything that
|
||
was made my human beings. i walked and walked, and then i found myself a
|
||
nice oak tree. i curled up underneath it, leaned up against the trunk.. i
|
||
sat there in the rain for about 45 minutes. after a while the birds got
|
||
used to me, they started flying around near by. once i looked up and there
|
||
was this bird not more than 4 feet away.. i suppose this is nothing when
|
||
compared to pigeons and whatnot in the city.. but the difference was that
|
||
this was a totally wild bird, not a pigeon.. it just sat there on a branch
|
||
above me, chirping and looking around. i could have reached out and touched
|
||
it, it was so close. well, anyway. i just sat there and thought about this
|
||
and that.. i almost fell asleep there, it was so peaceful. just sitting
|
||
there.. rain falling.. falling.. hitting me on the head, on the back..
|
||
falling.. falling.. drops all over me..
|
||
|
||
i'm too weird today. don't listen, eh? don't pay attention to me.
|
||
|
||
"more time put aside
|
||
sorry, i'm fucked up inside"
|
||
|
||
i have a lot to do, but i don't want to do it. this leaves me with nothing
|
||
to do. i don't know how that works, but somehow it does.
|
||
|
||
someone thinks i should write a book. i think i should go have a nap. just
|
||
what the world needs, more visions from the mind of a lunatic. i think i'll
|
||
spare the mass of population for now.
|
||
|
||
phone ringing. it's an asshole. it's that guy in new york. adam, that's his
|
||
name. he's an idiot. i wish he would go away. i wish he would go away, far
|
||
far away into the depths of the earth. assholes are everywhere. assholes
|
||
consume the world. i have to hang up the phone.
|
||
|
||
--
|
||
|
||
end of file, almost.
|
||
|
||
that wasn't too bad, was it? you now know me better than most people know
|
||
me. on't you feel honored? well, of course you do. and rightly so.
|
||
|
||
fuck you all.
