Art Class Convo

Me: That's a really spiffy sweater.
Substitute: Thanks! My mom made it for me.
Me: Aw that's great. Does she still make them?
Substitute: No. She is barely living. Shes got alzheimer's. Shes also blind in stuff. Not in good shape.
Me: Damn that's fucked up.
Substitute: (Retells a story) Yeah. She used to make everyone sweaters for Christmas. It would take her a whole year to make them all. I was always the bachelor, so I always got the good ones. Haha. I remember I was at the bar one time and a women came up to me and said "I'll come home with you if you give me that sweater."
Me: Well did you give it to her?!
Substitute: Hell no! I loved that sweater. There was no way she was getting it.

Prologue by Onji J

It was a dry windy morning in Wisconsin. Eggs, bacon, and the smell of blueberry pancakes rose through the cracks under the door, up to my nose. I woke up one minute before my alarm went off because of the very temping aroma. “Good morning  folks, time to rise and shine and jam with the top 25 hit pop songs…” were the first words I heard as I clumsily arose out of my bed. I could hear mom’s singing to the tunes that were playing on the same radio station. I walked downstairs to the kitchen to see mom and her new hubby dancing like the cool kids in Grease to Britney Spears 35th hit song. When my mom noticed I was standing there she ran over and kissed on the forehead and I began to sing and dance with my mom and Jack. 

Beep, Beep, Beep, I slapped the snooze button once again. And there was no smell of eggs, bacon, or blueberry pancakes rising through my door and into my nose, only the smell of old cigarettes and whiskey. I’d been having the same dream for the past year, hoping it would become my reality. Though I know it never would. I headed downstairs to see my mom passed out on the couch. “Mom, momma, wake up, it’s 8:00, it’s time for you pills.” I pushed and pushed until finally WAP! 
“Why you always gotta wake me up this early, huh!?” Momma snapped back. The only thing that faces her was my burning red cheek. This had been such routine that I only felt numb, both physically and mentally, and the walls didn’t seem to spin anymore, guess they’ve gotten use to it too. “Momma, take your pills.”

“I don’t won’t to!”

This time she breathed in my face allowing her raspy voice to force the putrid smell of day old whiskey, beer, and henisy up my nostrils. Dismissing her outburst I go into the kitchen and grab bread and medicine out of the half broken cabinet and walked back towards her. She tried to sit up on her own but couldn’t, so I sat next to her so she can rest her body on me. “Eat this.” She grabbed the bread and gobbled it down in seconds. “Take this” she shoved the pill in her mouth and I hold up a cup of water to her mouth to wash it down. She swallowed with resistance. She stared at me blankly and slurred  “This will be you pretty soon, yup, a low-life nothing, your already stupid, what else are you going do? Go to college HA!” She busted out in a hysterical laughter.

 “Yea, momma, yea” Tears almost formed in my eyes, but instead of crying I just kissed her on the forehead and said I love you. Then tore off the a label from an old water bottle from on top of our grand piano, and simply wrote goodbye. I walked out the front door and never looked back.

It's Not Yet Over

Here I am; caught up over simple things. Hurt, half crazy, broken hearted girl. If I were a boy, I proceed. Pick it up; get over it. Here I stand: lonely. Where to now? Never felt this way. Ain't no way it's over. Can't tell me nothing. Shoot me down, and I shake it off. I know you want me. Time to give in. Say you will stay with me; promise. Leave it all upto you. Don't get it twisted, I know the future no matter what.

Story #2: iTunes Poetry

Kiss me, for the nights I can't remember
Follow me, To the eternal world beyond the moon (Tsuki no Mukou no Sekai)
Please be mine until the end of time

I'll never smile again, if you leave
Things will never be the same because of you

Why didn't I listen?

Lesson Learned: Live like you're dying, live like there's no tomorrow

Let me hold you a little bit longer because Love is my drug

If you were my girl I gotta feeling I will always love you, 
Because of you I feel free, 
Here I stand comfortable with you, 
I like it ... just the way you are,
After tonight I know I'm yours, 
Only you put it on me like that.
When it's over all I want is you, 
I want this forever, 
I gotta feeling you always be my sunshine.

Story Time With Christine's Itunes!

Afternoon drive.
I see a darkness, Twilight.
Turn left...
Crash!
Ambulance, in limbo, dosed.
Dreams, gasoline dreams.
Into the sun until the sun dies.
Tryst with Mephistopheles at my heels.
"Wake up my love!"
Never. Never. I saw the light.
"Come home my love!"
Never. Never. It's over.
La momma morta.
The big sleep.
"Say it ain't so!"
Hope you don't stoop to dirty words...
"Hell's Bells!"
 All for the best.
"Keep your hands off her bodysnatchers!"
Maybe not.
"Buggin' out if you go away"
Do me a favour, wild love, stay golden.

Song Story

You're Crashing, but  you're no wave. Falling down, lost and confused. Do you realize? What goes around, comes around. Tomorrow comes today. Future is clear world is mine. Yet.. life  love you not. Something is missing in my life. Who am I living for? I am waiting on the world to change. Where do we go from here? I decided on day at a time. My own way, time for me to fly. We can go anywhere. You just don't know it. We'll be a dream...

Gone again.

All of the lights
Blackout
Who will survive in America
The messenger 
Like me
Lost in the world
Ill be Waiting 
Waiting for the end
When they come for me
I just wanna Run 
Runaway 
In the next room 
Stop and Stare
Hearing voices 
Who Dat
You know what it is 
Maybe Wretches and Kings 
Right above it
Cold wind Blows
The Downfall of us all 
Bright Lights 
Where the Story ends.

December 1963

The Story Of Us in December 1963, I was part of the elite unit of the U.S Marines. We were known for our raids in storms, that we were dubbed Riders On The Storm. However, one night we all had on our Poker Face, however I was the Better Man. During the final hand, I was Wasting Time, while the other guy was Livin' on a Prayer. I mean it was so intense the Lights looked another color! At the end of the game, we went our Separate Ways, and I think he was doing some weird Voodoo. 
The next day came, I looked at the newspaper with the headline, "President was Assassinated Yesterday." So right away, I called to my Home Sweet Home, to get the scoop on the assassination. When my wife picked up the phone, she was surprised to hear my voice and said " Your Alive..." so I told her "because of the assassination, we are now 2 steps behind." She quickly told me, "Don't let your crew do anything With or Without You."
That night, my friend and co-pilot was killed in combat, and at his funeral after the salute, his wife left a special message on his stone:

"You are like a Candle in The Wind"

A few days later, I made Sparks Fly while working in the garage. It was my friends footlocker and my wife had asked "What are you doing?" So I told her, "I gotta get through this."
