Eric's Story

Life Well, man, after high school I just started walking around a lot and, like, man, then I kind of lost track of time and forgot where I was, and it turned out that I had walked all the way to Tempe Arizona, so I stayed there and worked for a while in a Dairy Queen, trying to save up enough money for a new pair of shoes so I could walk back to L.A. I just got back last week. What'd I miss? Is Magic Johnson still with the Lakers? What about Kareem? Look, man, if any of my old classmates are reading this, please email me and let me know what's been goin' on the past eighteen years. I wonder how some of my old classmates are doin'? Is Roy Diga still around? Man, he sure loved porn. Wonder what he's been up to lately? I hope Loren and his band finally made it big. I hope Traci finally found love. And that guy with the wooden leg who yelled all the time -- what was his name? -- I hope he's still livin'. Boy, Hamilton High sure has changed in eighteen years...for one thing, they're a lot more strict about 34 year old guys hanging around outside the auditorium, as I found out yesterday. Real strict, man. Damn. And why'd they move the old Fatburger on Robertson? Now it's Mexican food. Where'd the Fatburger go? And the Beef Bowl joint on Robertson and National...it's a damn muffler shop. I went in there to ask for a beef bowl anyway, 'cause I was hungry, and they're like, "Get the hell out of here 'cause we ain't got no beef bowls, it's a damn muffler shop," and I'm like, "I can read, man, I know it's a damn muffler shop, but I thought maybe the beef bowl place left a few teriyaki bowls behind when they moved out," and they looked at me like I'm stupid or something, but I think I had a legitimate point, because a lot of times when people move they leave stuff behind. It was a legitimate question. The muffler guys didn't have to be so mean about it, man. My brothers are doin' okay. H...Expand for more
erbie went out lookin' for me seventeen years ago, and he ended up walking all the way to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he's still livin', trying to make enough money to get back. Anybody out there know someone in Santa Fe with a good pair of Addidas size twelves that they can loan out to Herbie for a few months? Man, email me if you know anyone, really. I still love music, man. I couldn't afford a radio in Tempe, man, so I'm not too up on today's music, but now that I'm back I really want to catch up with some of my favorite artists from when I was in high school. When's Robert Palmer gonna release somethin' new? Germaine Stewart? Falco? Zapp and Roger? The Ramones? Michael Hutchence? Man, I can't wait to find out what these guys are doin' these days. Remember Rockwell? Dude, I met him last month, during my walk back to L.A. I was in the desert, like, in the middle of nowhere, and there's Rockwell, and he's got no clothes on and he musta weighed like 80 pounds and he's wandering through the desert dragging this dead buzzard behind him (he said he killed it because it was "watching him"), and he comes up to me and he's like "Are YOU watching me?" and I'm like, "No, man, I ain't watchin' nobody," and he's like, "Good," and he walks away. Nice guy. Maybe we can hook up and start a band or something. Man, I love Prince. I wonder how he's doin'? About eight years ago, a guy came into the Dairy Queen who was passing through Tempe on his way to L.A. He told me that Prince's wife was pregnant. That kids gotta be like seven years old now. I bet Prince is a great dad. That's probably sure one happy family! Well, I gotta go. I'm gonna go to Westwood Village now, 'cause that's where I remember everyone hangin' out 18 years ago. I better hurry, 'cause there's probably gonna be a big crowd soon. Maybe I'll see ya there! Really, man, let me know if you've got shoes for Herbie. Please.
