Hola, GS Homeslices,
I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was fine. Flew back to Seattle from Savannah and spent a couple of days of reflecting and re-orienting life. I'm good. Different...but good.
My Mom's urn with her ashes in it is sitting adjacent to my computer desk. I intend to set up a corner shelf to place it on, near the pictures of relatives along the ajoining walls. A bit of the ashes trickled onto my clothes, so I guess I'll be taking a bit of Mom to school with me this morning. :)
From here forward, some things in my life are going to get very interesting. I'll be moving to Los Angeles within a year, where I'll find a band looking for a frontman and put together Nu Metal and Rap Metal records. We will give credence to a genre that Metal purists and most music critics mutually despise. We will also party hard, bang groupies, tour with other bands of a similar ilk, and win awards. This is not speculation; this is fact.
The only downside is Mom not being in this world to see it. Highly fortunate am I to have a loving Father (step-Dad), two loving brothers, three awesome nieces, a pretty cool nephew, and a step-niece and step-nephew to share my gains with. I will make them proud, with a few akward moments when explaining to their friends and co-workers what it is I do. While in California, I will sprinkle Mom's ashes onto a beach at sunset as a final goodbye.
They will have the bragging rights to say: "My uncle Nate is the frontman for the band ________, and they kick all kindsa' a__. They scare the Hell outta bland hipster twinks and make purists and critics wanna vomit. They date porn stars and strippers. Uncle Nate's lyrics make valid critique of society and his roaring vocals make James Hetfield wimper. His band's sound makes Marilyn Manson do the 'I'm not worthy' thing from Waynes World."
In the meantime, I will get my AAS in SHS just so I don't owe ol' Uncle Sammy Boy any money for having wasted my GI Bill. While going to College, they're practically supporting me, so my job until January of 2014 is "student". While keeping my GPA at a passing level, I will continue to write lyrics and brainstorm ideas for this band. My family will have better days. My talent will see to it.
Take Care & Much Love
