Greetings all. This shit happened circa '90-'92. The following is an excerpt from one of my old journals, 22-24 yr. old at the time; ...I was going through a bad spell, breakin' up with this girl, Jaime-yeah, we had fun for awhile, but it fell apart - sex and drugs, y'know, without the part where we get successful... an' messin' around with this other girl, eatin' lotsa pills, just anything I could get my hands on, you know, things that broke down in water, just.. really horrible, you know, shootin' crack an' just, What the fuck was I... so anyway just desperate, dry, you know, couldn't do anything you know, so, I rode my bike across St. Claude Ave. And one block off of St. Claude there's a group of young black dudes an' they're all looking at me like "what the fuck this dude doin' over here?".And as soon as the eye contact was made I knew this was not where I needed to be. So but, uh, 'course I didn't listen, big fuckin' idiot, I knew... but like an idiot, I kinda make my circle... to turn over towards them, gonna go over an' do the deal and it's like this force just A-flattened me, dude I just went FLAAP! The bike went like literally this under me, took a tumble, you know, and uh, and I think it was the Hand of God, just like, STOP-- "what're you doing? Just like STOP this. But I didn't. I got back on my bike after makin' a complete ass of myself... so I went up to the dudes to score drugs. So they sold me something wrapped in plastic wrap, I dunno, it was soap or wax or something but I was just in such a bad state. I knew I got burnt. One of the dudes was like " Man that's a nice bike, can I ride it?" So I said sure, sure, 'cause I was tryin' to be cool with 'em and all and he was like TWOOM! hahaha, took off, a straight line into the horizon- he was gone, he took off an' he never came back, so right after I was, well, I just played it off like I didn't even care. I was like "look I wanna score some dope, rock or powder coke... I wanna 20 dollar bag, so here's the bread. So they came back with the shit wrapped in plastic wrap. Walked home and put it in my arm anyway. Don't Know what it was, lucky it wasn't their snot or something even worse.--- More to come later. Much Love everyone! Later on, flapjack |
