JOHN
Yesterday was St.Patricks day, the whole world wore green,and i wore red. Back in
december,christmas time, the world wore red and i wore green.The kids on the street
thought i was the grinch. A little kid shouted," Mama, look theres the grinch".The
woman looked up and said," that aint the grinch, its lousy old Stoker."Well, that
defines it all. All my life ive felt, ummm, a little out of place.Even now i feel,
that an asteroid is going to fall onto the earth,any moment now
right onto my head.Ummm, now that I said it, i dont feel it anymore...
(sighing)
I met Vera at a party back in 09', tough days they were, perhaps the toughest.
Life was a test and the test was high schoool...

be more appropriate.I'd just gotten over with Kay, with whom i'd had my first fragment
of a relationship...

Not Exactly!
It was either a misconception or a smokescreen or maybe neither.Was it a misconception?
Was it a smokescreen? Nah, it was neither, There are somethings I like to believe,and
this is probably one of them
