Dylan's Story
Life
She was a seething red Eldorado with automatic weapons in the trunk. I was a helcopter pilot haunted by memories of screaming peasants and feelings of crippling inadequacy. We lived in the back seat of an junked Model A Ford and drank "grape flavored wine product" to stay warm. She bore me two children then split with a junkie body-piercing technician, leaving me the babies, the cast iron skillet, and half a pack of clove cigarettes. I grew bitter, then met Jesus at a trolley stop in San Diego. He stole my wallet, containing all forty of my dollars, but was kind enough to leave me my expired drivers liscense. I failed at academe, but was a stellar ornamental iron worker. I got infested with crabs from a mattress in a halfway house in Salina, Kansas, tattooed in Louisville, Kentucky, and fell in love with no less than fourteen younger women in New Orleans, including a tryst with a live-in nanny.

I got trapped in avalanches, burned up in house fires, struck by lightning, pelted by hail, slashed by straight razors, and run over by bull dozers. I never had insurance, but I never once got arrested. One day, about 18 months ago, I recieved an epiphany by mail, and left all my wordly possessions in South Louisiana, including a brand new Bass guitar and an old quarter jukebox full of Sam Cook and Waylon Jennings 45s. In now live a life of ease in my comfortably furnished head, with occaisional forays into the land of "activated otherness" for education and parenting. My kids think I am the best thing since Nicktoons, and I will not tell them otherwise. Life, on the whole, has been really good to me, even though I have not always deserved it. This gig is halfway over already, folks. Try to enjoy the rest of it.
