wow ! 60 years !!! what a long, strange science fiction story this has been ! tried to kill myself 3 times had a stroke once have been shot at 9 times and hit by cars 9 times (3 times in one day - the 2nd time the driver appeared to be bono) arrested 3 times (getting a cup of coffee from the starbucks dumpster in north charleston was my 3rd strike) almost died from pneumonia 1 time caught covid maybe 3-4 times evicted with nowhere to go during a sub zero blizzard once blue papered so drs could steal my blood once broke my knee once threw out my hip once lost my memory once drank piss once drank bleach once drank detergent once survived 8 hurricanes was stung by a scorpion once bitten by a spider once woke up with a rattlesnake next to me once woke up with frozen feet once (ty alphena for saving me) almost drowned twice (ty cher & joe for saving me) lived in a crack house once ...and i still somehow got to live long enough to find out about the rockefellers !!

<3 

...who may have helped make the stuff we all should take the time to find out about ourselves, our friends and families, and the places we are from much more fascinating to all of us than we ever could have believed - thank you fb friends for the 😍 birthday wishes and for helping when #alphena12 was being abused  <3! %]

i believe i wrote the lyrics to this song in the bcc psychology class where the girl tried to answer every question honestly:

jonathan edwards helped form the first great awakening 

got the rs magazine where i read about crystal meth from this library when i believe i (we) wrote the lyrics to third eye blind's 'semicharmed kind of life' which was a first attempt at a rap song

yeah, that's right - there was a black guy - i think he was jamaican - who worked at the library back then who lived on the streets too - i don't remember his name but he died somehow because he got evicted or something and if i remember correctly - froze to death !

i remember everyone was really sad because he was really well liked...

used to listen to the brandenburg concerto and bach's well tempered clavier on the library's turntable which made me want to look up counterpoint melodies in one of the (bcc jonathan edwards) library's music books where i learned what a coda was

(an end to the curse)

the jamaican guy used to listen to the record player too, but i am not sure what he listened to (you could see the records sitting on the table but i think i lost my memory falling off a roof after he died)

kiss me

 

#kissme12x

held danielle when she was a baby

danielle went to mccann's and became a cosmetologist, but i think she studied cashiering

i believe i wrote the lyrics to six pence none the richer's 'kiss me' just after finishing a f scott fitzgerald novel in the bcc activities office - if you've ever read one you know what i mean when i say i was still buzzing from the tastefully elegant spell his novels put on the reader - and it reminded me of the time danielle dressed up for halloween in a pink one piece bathing suit with gold glitter all over her face, arms and legs 

when danielle was about 14 and i was obsessed with lynne she had gone to mccann tech and her friends from our neighborhood went to mt greylock so like her brothers and i they became estranged friends for some reason

so danielle didn't have her friends to hang out with and she started coming to visit me and I just adored her 

but i was about 20 - 21 at the time 

she asked if i wanted to sneak up onto the golf course at twilight - when the paying golfers quit playing but there was still plenty of light to play

- leigh nash 

the broken tree house was broken by jimmy purple and his gang of cole avenue kids who attacked it at night way after danielle, harry, joe, john weedon and i went home for dinner
