Rebecca

Rebecca moves across the world
She’s a sirocco on the sand
She is the Nile that flows forever
Cutting a wound across the land
She’ll be your friend before you know her
She’ll have your trust before it’s earned
But like any nomad she will wander
Breaking the hearts of all concerned

History clouds what we remember
The one that you wanted her to be
Mystery shrouds her like an island
But it’s an island in a lonely sea
Oh, Rebecca
Oh, Rebecca

I was thirteen going on forty
Wasting my summer on the beach
Burned on the outside, raw in the middle
That Molly’s just too hard to reach
But Rebecca moved in, yeah she moved me
She was the best friend I’d ever had
And then one day she went away
Didn’t think I’d ever feel that bad

Where did you go?
Why did you lie?
Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
How ‘bout the promise
That you made me?
Was it really so easy to trade me
For another town
Another friend
Another beginning without any end…

So many times I would’ve called you
If I’d had your number in my hand
You were the one I would’ve turned to
When things didn’t go the way I’d planned
I never got a chance to tell you
Things didn’t go the way I’d planned…

History clouds what I remember
The one I wanted her to be
Mystery shrouds her like an island
Does she still remember me?
My life is like a turnstile
So many strangers passing through
There’ve been more than I can number
But I still remember you

Oh, Rebecca
Oh, Rebecca

I’ve lost many friends and this represents all of them. I do not know if it’s me or something else, but I was always left alone. These beautiful words speak to me.

Rest In Peace

I died
So many years ago
But you can make me feel
Like it isn’t so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
mmm-mmm

You’re scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can’t tell the ones you love
You know they couldn’t deal
Whisper in a dead man’s ear
It doesn’t make it real
That’s great

But I don’t wanna play
‘Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
And since I’m only dead to you
I’m saying stay away and
Let me rest in peace

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole 6-foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can’t find my, sweet release
So let me rest in peace

You know,
You got a willing slave
And You just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But Till you do,
I’m telling you
Stop visiting my grave
Let me rest in peace

I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There’s a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you’ve ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
but I can see you’re unimpressed
So leave me be and

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole 6-foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can’t find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won’t you
Let me rest in peace?

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

My earliest human memory is this:

1997. My memory goes as far back as to when I started preschool.

       I was only four years old and starting school at Wing Lane Elementary in Valinda. I remember one morning I was so excited to be going to school. I had to wake up my dad to take me to school. I got him up and following me and I ran into the bedroom door.

       “Ow!” I cried. “Stupid wall.” I got up and rubbed my forehead, which was now turning red.

       “Stupid Ryan.” My dad said as he walked by me and into the dining room.

       “Greg, don’t say that.” Grandma Lois remarked.

       “Mom,” My dad said in a firm, establishing voice. “He has to learn that he caused it and not the wall.”

       “Don’t call him that though.” She defended.

       “Just shut up.” He said and walked to the front door. I jogged as fast as my little legs could go and caught him on the way out. I climbed into his crappy blue-colored 1960s Dodge Dart and he drove me to school.

       As he did, I told him “Don’t call me stupid.”

       “Now you’re gonna start?!” He yelled.

       “I just said—” I tried to fight back.

       “Just shut the fuck up and get out!” He told me as he drove me up to the gates of the school.

       “But—”

       “JUST GO!”

       I got out and walked up to my classroom. The teacher’s name was Ms. Kathy. She was a nice woman. I used to cry a lot whenever I got hurt and I was close to tears because my dad just yelled at me.

       “What’s wrong?” Ms. Kathy asked.

       “I just hit my head on the door.” I sniffled.

       “Oh. Are you okay?”

       “Yeah.”

       “Okay.”

       The rest of the day went by fast and I forgot why I was crying.

       This is the earliest memory I have of my dad beginning to talk down to me and abuse me mentally.

I always make a friend. Everything seems to be going fine. Then something happens. I do not know if it’s a fault of my own or a fault of theirs, we end up not talking as much, then in trying to rekindle what we had, I see they made another friend. They refuse to tell me what happened and they slowly forget about me. And suddenly I’m alone.

It’s times like these that make me question “If I died tomorrow, who would care? Am I a blip on ANYONE’S radar screen? Who am I to anyone? Do I really matter to anyone?”

I love Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. It is the best animated film ever made because it is the first one ever released. Yet in all the times I have been to Disneyland, I have never seen Snow White’s Grotto or The Wishing Well. That will make all my trips to Disney complete: if I can just see this.

RAVENCLAW-House of Professor Filius Flitwick, Cho Chang, and Luna Lovegood. My favorite characters. XD

Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure.

It’s when people treat me like dirt after a simple question that I wish I was at Hogwarts. There when you ask a question, they answer and assist you along the way. There, I feel there is a home.
