all that you really need to know is that there's a song on this album called "wrong hole".
we've all been there,yeah.
good times.
so you're welcome.
thanks for stopping by.
it's always nice to see you.

you need more than the "wrong hole"?
you're so greedy.
you kids nowadays.
i just don't know what to do about you.
ok....

have you ever been spent time in your uncle's basement listening to him tell stories about the war that involved things like "if he didn't stay quiet he'd give away our location so i had to...." or "have you ever seen so much fire that you didn't know where it ended and you began?" or "to this day i can eat a hamburger without thinking of...."?

and then you'd study his facial expressions.
and then you'd study that look in his eyes.
and then you'd find yourself wondering "that look. what if it had a sound. what would it sound like? what. would. it. sound. like. i just...."
and then you keep thinking about that.
and then you keep thinking about that.
and then you keep thinking about that.
and then the blood starts to trickle out of your nose.
and then you realize that you've been clenching your teeth.
and then you realize that you've soiled yourself.
and then you look at your uncle's face and it isn't there.
you know that one scene from the movie JACOB'S LADDER?
you're already dead.....

and then there's silence.
the album you'd been listening to has ended.
you've been on your bed the entire time.
you've been wearing headphones.
this is what happens when you fall asleep listening to that mix cd that you'd only put daughters and lightning bolt and the flying luttenbachers on after having visited your uncle and eating anything out of that box he keeps on the table in the basement.
and then you realize that you've actually soiled yourself.
