Predicament No. 1: Novelism
Bring back the motherfucking-ass dominance of the transformation of novels.
I want to become a category on Jeopardy and watch the entire episode
for the hearing impaired with White Alex screaming his lungs out. I’m weighing the
pros and cons of online writing and concluding I want to write in the friggin' future. I've chosen to write my first novel blog. I'm releasing the first edition of Lionheart Leaks.
The story is about a group of 20-something underachievers
struggling in life. They're paid to work for Lionheart Incorporated. Working for a very ambitious and corrupt company, the employees form good friendships before learning
they have been duped by the company. After a friend dies, they secretly
form Lionheart Leaks to get back at the founders of Lionheart, but their plan
gets sabotaged.
Here’s my self-edited opening from the highly anticipated online version of Installment No. 1: Howgh, It All Began
(A Collection Of Random Incidents):
“A scratched vinyl record was being played on the stereo turntable
and the song sounded like Cherry, Cherry
from Neil Diamond’s Gold. I was listening to the classic song and a poor, dumb waitress at the
same time. The troubled waitress with bright green eyes wearing too much makeup
apologized for not recognizing me at first and then told me that she would bring another
drink.” (Lionheart Leaks WIP)
Scratch that. The Atlanta Braves are brave.
brave
adj. brav·er, brav·est
1. Possessing or displaying courage.
2. Making a fine display; impressive or showy: "a coat of brave red lipstick on a mouth so wrinkled that it didn't even have a clear outline" (Anne Tyler).
3. Excellent; great: "The Romans were like brothers / In the brave days of old" (Thomas Macaulay).
4. A word that basically means Richard Tattoni.
If I had Stephen King’s address, I would send him an
old-fashioned letter and tell him he’s getting old and he should visit The
Great Beyond. The word if is the middle word in life and maybe Stephen King needs to
read Lionheart Leaks coming soon Beyond The Rum Diary.
Predicament No. 2: Pros and Cons
O.J. Simpson became USC’s second Heisman Trophy winner in
1968 when he first captured the hearts and minds of Civil War enthusiasts. The
Pac-12 evolved over recent decades to become bigger and better, but the conference
is having a bloody awful year of football.
A Civil War college football rivalry game between Beavers and
Ducks brings in a shitload of money for the Pac-12 Conference. The Great Beyond
has become a home for veterans of the game to look back and remember. Leave It To Beaver, I’m not choosing sides or bringing back Abraham Lincoln from the
dead. I want to go beyond football and play a new game on my PlayStation 11.
Let’s play Black Jeopardy. In the category of “What Happened Was,” Black Alex
says “The lights went off.” Mr. Hightower buzzes in first and tries answering in the
form of a question, “What happened was I forgot to pay the bill.” Mr. Hightower couldn't answer in the form of a question and started a fight with Black Alex over his
Bill Cosby sweater.
The American Thanksgiving is a time to relive O.J. Simpson’s big record-breaking performance against the Detroit Lions. O.J. is still revered as
the best player the Buffalo Bills ever had. True story.
I’ve accepted that there are pros and cons in this world, and
professional teams like the Buffalo Bills must be better understood. This is
the reality of the world that we live in. I’m a fan of Buffalo, Seattle, and the
Browns. Bring back Jim Brown, James Brown, and Charlie Brown!
