Coming of Men...

[raginggnu]

One day, Finrod, son of Feanor and High King of the Noldor, walked through the gray forests of Beleriand and heard singing that was strange to his ears. He followed the clamor and eventually came to a hilltop overlooking a band of swarthy, bearded creatures clad in animal skins. Finrod Felagund overheard their singing from a distance and watched as they danced in merriment to the tune of harps and drums. Finally, these creatures fell asleep and Finrod walked among their camp and sat down by the fire they had made and begam to play the songs of the Valar upon his harp. Finrod was the greatest elven songmaster and thus the melodious chords awoke the sleeping creatures and they gathered around the elf, sitting and listening to his fair sing. After Finrod finished, the leader of the creatures approached him and began communicating with him through song. The leader, apparently, was named Beor the Old and that these creatures were his people known as Men. They had come from the east of Middle Earth where most of their kin still dwelt, hunting and living in a primitive tribal society. Finrod heard their story and became their mentor and king, allowing these Men to come and live in the elven kingdoms, and this they did. They established great houses to separate their bloodlines when Beor the Old died and they kept these allegiances until the sinking of Beleriand. Ever after, until the days of Numenor, these creature would be known as the Edain in the tongue of the Eldar, or in ther own language: The Men of the East.

Fun times a plenty last night. Spizz, Burr, Baldy, Tina, Rach and her toolboxes(jk, doug was cool) and I all went to Collateral at Warrington in the middle of nowhere. I got to meet this fabled Ben character who rach has told my ear so much about. He didn't really say much and he looked about 13, but he didn't seem all that bad and im sure hes a lot more interesting when hes with rach and his friends. Rach thought we hooked up right in front of Ben, but we didn't at all: She tried to kiss me on the lips but I just kissed her on the forehead and gave her a hug. Anyway, its not like I didn't fuckin earn the right to do that in front of anybody. He'll ive been through so much shit with her I would kiss her in front of her husband. I earned it. Alright, what's up next for this week? Visit Gina, do PNC, and get a car. Hmmmm. Oy life is very stressful when your parents don't have money to buy you a car, or anything else for that matter.
