Why do rock and rollers seem to always run into rotten luck? Devlish forces? Rotten people? Lazy motherfuckers who don't deserve anything better? I don't fucking know. I don't fucking know anything. I'm just a lazy motherfucker who happens to be a rock'n'roller who's all tangled up in bullshit lately for some odd reason. Remember though, why's everybody picking on me? Truth be told, everybody's picking on everybody. Just take a drive down Detroit's Lodge Freeway to get a sampling of this. Two funerals in the past week, a computer turned to junk, a flooded apartment. The worst thing about it though is these are ordinary experience and when ordinary experience can be that ghastly, there must be something wrong with ordinary experience. Remember, there is trouble all over. Hawaii Five-O showed that paradise was not to be found on those tropical isles. Why that guy was running all over the place trying to catch crooks in that alleged paradise. Why do bad things happen to good people? Well if a bad person "deserves" it then why wouldn't a good person deserve a little too? I don't know. I don't fucking know anything. Let me give you another example associated with my life. Two months ago I received, in the mail, a bill from Sprint for $243 and some change. All fine and good, except that I did not make nearly enough phone calls to justify those charges. I called to complain, and was told to expect to receive a credit on my account of $109 and some change. I know this is horrible boring but what can I say, I"m in the mood for blog. Anyway, I end up getting a bill in the mail and instead of no charges, I got 45 more in charges. I called and was told that a supervisor reviewed my bill and determined that the $109 credit was not justified by Sprint's supervisor. This led to a labryinthian phone marathon and my hope was that I would be vindicated. Don't take shit from no one, right? Well, I took a lot of shit in that phone call. I was up. I was down. The operator was determined to charge me. Now, everyone knows that cell phones are stupid, ridiculous and absurdly expensive when compared with some of your land line deals. In my case, I had to get rid of my landline because it came as part of a "bundle" with comcast that was getting unaffordable for me. Guess what? I won in the end. Good things do happen to bad people, or at least mediocre people, and probably even good people, too. It's not all a veil of tears, but the basement's a lagoon. Yours truly, FourEyes
