My best friend passed away in a car wreck when i was about 18. I went into a years long period of silence and introspection and emerged a songwriter and writer of prose, and at times, an abuser of drugs. My father would pass away about 6 months later onoy further exaggerating the problem. I'd already lived alone for a couple years, but i couldn't even bring myself to communicate with even earth people. It was at that time that i disappeared from the game, and the only time I didn't speak to earth cats for a period of 3 or 4 years.
Fast forward about 6 years. I'd just released an album, was homeless and traveling the country in a van. I ran into some hardship with income on the road and had a 3 day thing where money i needed got hung up, and yer boy needed a sandwich. So i started offering guitars and solar panels off my van and fluff for sale.
At that time Link (fmr ICN and founder of Elders) hit me up. He had purchased an album of mine on a donation based website and had made a substantial donation to acquire the album after seeing my hardship play out. I don't know if he knew it at the time, but the money he sent not only saved me from certain starvation, the kind words he said about my music caused me to be inspired to continue. I told him if he ever needed anything i was forever in his debt. He saved my life
About 3 years after that Link hit me up again. Elders had finally reached a point where we could potentially take on my arch nemesis, LaF. He asked me to come back and help warlead. I was going to be late for the set start, but i wouldn't miss it for the world. Not because after 9 years i still had any ill feelings. It was because I owed Link my life, and at last wanted to spend time with this great family.
We didn't get to hit LaF that set. Sol and stones blindsided us and sof. We beat them back and won and started messing with laf at sets end. This snowballed into a war lasting around 6 sets. And over that time i became reunited with dozens of my old friends of the game...
...but i was also reunited with Makinso. The ol' lemon sucker. The ol' snake butthole man if you will. I hadn't seen him in years and seeing him reminded me of the last words i ever said to my best friend, so ill repeat them for Makinso now.
We had been out and about, i think at the bowling alley. I dropped him at his house and as he walked away from my car I exclaimed "Hey!" followed by the very last things i ever said to him. Words i repeat now for Makinso.
"You were an ugly baby"
There. I hope everyone feels better.
