Nov. 18, 2006 ‘ Don’t you remember this song, and it was 1984, and you felt a certain joy, and things were so different, a different energy was there?’ ‘ This song was in 1984? You remember that?’ ‘ That’s not what I mean. 83, 85, the point is that it is symbolic of the time.’ ‘ Ya I guess.’ ‘ Well, if it was an overcast afternoon, and anytime actually, there was a different thing, a different way.’ ‘ I don’t know what you mean.’ ‘ Well its right there sometimes, but words…it was just life, just living life, a natural trust, there was no other choice. I guess there never is a choice, really. It was a happier time. A prosperous time…no that is not the right word. It was different. Don’t you remember these songs? Music is far more important than anything else in a way. Didn’t you feel invincible? Or profound. That is the word. Didn’t you feel more profound?’ ‘ I know what you mean, but that was because everything was new. Everyone has a taste of that. I remember those times.’ ‘ So then what?’ ‘ Then there are other times.’ ‘ Oh. I know. Nature brings you forward, thrusts you forward.’ ‘ Of course.’ ‘ Well, its good that you understand a bit. Some don’t. Like the ones I told you are cardboard. You said I was being too much when it came to them. But now, as you yourself have said, you agree.’ ‘ Well I know. When people are like that, they’re just not nice.’ ‘ I think they…I always told you they were missing something integral. They are untouched by life in a way, or something. They are flat. You know, he is just like the other guy, there is not much light there, everything is so concrete. There is no way things are actually that concrete, and if they are, I will go against nature, or the Gods that be, or whatever the case is. They don’t joke. They don’t smile. They have an answer for everything. What about fresh poppy seed bagels?’ ‘ You lost me there.’ ‘ I mean, people like that, they have to come off it. Like ah there is a fresh bagel, but nothing is special to them, they aren’t inclined that way.’ ‘ I told you. The one guy is a drip. The other, he’s a drip and a jerk.’ ‘ I think they are both drips and both jerks. They should have a responsibility to smile, at least once in a while. I never saw either one of them smile. I’ve met others like them too, and worse.’ ‘ Oh well. You can’t let it bother you.’ ‘ It doesn’t bother me, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m not saying I’m so great, not at all. I’m saying there are only a few things I know. Those types are missing something. They have no leeway. They have no give.' ‘ I know that.’ ‘ Anyway. That song…that was good times, even when it wasn’t. Blissful atmosphere. Blissful.’ ‘ Ya, there was a good feeling then.’ ' Outside there is no sun.' ‘ Has the rain started again yet?’ ‘ Yup. Well, I suppose so. Just a few minutes ago it was pouring. I can’t believe how mild it is, and how gray.’ ‘ What’s with all the rain?’ ‘ Don’t know. It’s supposed to wash everything away. Rain is part of life. That rain, and rain as metaphor, or rain as symbol, or something.’ ‘ Symbolic of what?’ ‘ Something not good, of course. Well, to most peoples’ mind, something not good.’ ‘ Oh.’ ‘ Whether the rain means anything or not, it is. Just like other things are. Like living, or dying, or how there are staple items that you need in your house.’ ‘ Staple items?’ ‘ Bread, milk, butter…’ ‘ And the rain is like that?’ ‘ Of course. The rain is a staple item of the earth.’ ‘ You are strange.’ ‘ Everyone is strange.’ ‘ Is it still raining out there?’ ‘ Of course it is. It will always be raining.’ ------------ Email Brian Michael Barbeito: Brian1750@Hotmail.com Comment on this article here! ------------ All articles are EXCLUSIVE to Useless-Knowledge.com and are not allowed to be posted on other websites.
