I hear in my mind - all these voices.
I just spent the better part of @ least 4 hours on top of an elementary school in Mt. Olive drinking w/Jehan-Paul & Mike & Jon & people named CHelsea & Tiffany & Kyle & Jess, I think, wishing Jehan-Paul well 'coz he's gonna be leaving for basic training in the military tomorrow night. If he's free enough & able to come to my place tomorrow morning w/Sonia, then I'll let you guys know, but otherwise - I must say, we sure did get as inebriated as humanly possible for the sake of seeing our friend off proper. Hell - I'm still seeing double, after showing up to the school intending on having perhaps a drink or two & retaining my sobriety.
Well, I failed that mission, but most certainly got as drunk as I should have.
I just kept on drinking ev'ry time I thought about another one of my closest friends from high school going overseas to fight on the side of our homegrown 'freedom fighters' & the chance of them not coming back home to our shitty town in Enjay.
Today me'n Jon went over to Sean's place in Butler to record some stuff to show to a promoter for a performance we may have on August the 11th in J.F.K. park (The Doversity gig! Show up!!!) for Southern Discomfort, which's a side project of Beneath The Red Dawn that fuses the blues/hick-metal/doom-metal/black-metal/anything else we can fit in there that sounds good to make this unique brand of musick that we can only describe as "intoxicating". So perhaps, come friday, we'll have a myspace page up w/a track or two that we recorded today up for the general public to listen to. We recorded three takes of live jams, w/all of 'em adding up to twenty-something minutes of musick, all of which we're pretty proud of 'coz our group's the shit.
I still can't quite see w/perfect clarity due to all of the rum/vodka/bourbon/beer that I was forced to drink due to it being the last night Jehan-Paul's to remain in Enjay before he's shipped out to some Southern state for brainwashing & killtraining.
And despite all the chemicals, my stomach still feels uneasy.
I'd rather the friends I have had no direction than a direction that'd lead them to being controlled by some president/government w/their own economic/societal image holding more importance than the lives of their own young soldiers in mind. Honest to god, Bush has already fucked up our economy, & led us into a war that we can not win against a country for the sake of oil (MONEY!!!) under the guise of some righteous mission to liberate people from a dictator while there're genocide and massacres occurring in other countries that we just don't hear about 'coz they are apparently not "the righteous fight" (The economically viable fight) that America's looking for.
Our forefathers wouldn't have stood for this shit. They formed a country based around rebellion, & equality, so that the people's votes and opinions wouldn't be written off as some sordid desire of the useless working class, and would be taken under the utmost care & consideration possible, so's to allow every citizen's voice to be heard and valued. The Declaration Of Independence cites our RESPONSIBILITY as Americans to revolt should the current government fail to serve us w/equality & complete fairness. Well, the time for that's long past, & outdated tradition's been set in place & dictating our actions & legal proceedings for far too long, but apparently nonchalance & stagnant politics are all this country's people are looking for.
So fuck. Revolution'd be beautiful, but i've long since lost faith in humanity, let alone Americans, to hope for some sort of new wind to blow & fix everything that's fuckt in this country.
I don't know. I never know. But no one else does, either, so what-fuckin'-ever, let's just keep on livin' like this' what we want, & that we're fine & perfect here.
but man -
God Bless You MadMen & Women.
