16nd in Hey, buddy, got a light?

I used to have a cd player, I just don’t remember what happened to it.
W-who has those nowadays anyway, man? I mean now that everyone and their mom has a fuckin H.A.L. 9000 phone.
My time travel device used to be my OG Comcastic On Demand remote, but now it’s my OG Panasonic CD player.
I wish Bob was’nt such a tweeker. I don’t trust them, you never know what they’re capable of. We used to have some good times, man.
We’d set up in the far corner of Rotary Park, behind the old Food 4 Less which is a Fresno Ag/Hardware now. We’d bring some portable speakers and our graffiti porn mags.
Sometimes the sprinklers got us, fuckin bastards.
One night-, I don’t remember why we went at night, maybe I was leaving the computer arcade at the time.
So there we are, surrounded by charlie-..no thats not how it went.
That was the particular narrative for foggy morning walks to school though.
Anyway, there I was, in Davy Jones locker-, and Mickey Dolenz locker too, and I think Peter Tork was ther-..no, no and more no..thats not what happened at all!
BOOO, HEY DOWN IN FRONT, FOCUS! FOCUS!
Alright..so we’re there in the park, man. Doin what we did at the time which we still do at this time. Then BAM..that sound. It’s like a the flicking of a switch amplified times a hundred. The stadium lights in the park turned off.
I’M ASCARED OF THE DARK, BOSSMAN!
So we absconded from the vewy scawy park. ACROSS A SEA OF FROGS.
I dunno how many I killed, but I’m pretty sure it was alot. I was like..are we walking through mud?, and Bob said no theres frogs everywhere.
THEY’RE COMING TO GET YOU, BARBARA!
Blah blah blah, we lived, the end.

Next time I’ll tell you the story of Billy dropping his first cellphone in the water after the park flooded new years day 2006.

I write about the past cause I don’t have a future and I refuse to believe in the present because it sure as fuck ain’t a gift.
ba dum ch.
