All Things And Everywhere...


"...we made our beds and now we hate where these be..."

At one time or another, I have been both blessed and cursed to be you.  I have seen what you've seen and been where you've been.  I have done things in the light that didn't need the cover of darkness and I have done things in the dark you would never accept in the light.  Things that always rise to the surface of daylight.

As such, I can be all things to all men.

My father told me once not to play with matches.  He said I would get burned.  So I decided to do it behind his back.  He knew.  Why?  He had a burn-mark to prove he was right.  I never told him I just burned the hell out of myself but somehow I knew he already knew.  I now carry the same mark.  He just looked at it with indifference and never said a word.  I finally got it...

The lesson? Kids, keep playing with fire...you'll get burned soon enough.  Don't come cryin to me.  I let you know that would happen.  The most I'll do now is tell you there's a pharmacy up the block.
