A Brief Story Of The Voice, Part 4
The moon of Iraq is insane. At 5:00 the whole country goes pitch black, and you can’t see a foot in front of your face. At about 11:30, the moon appears on the horizon, and does this sudden 30 minute rocket ride to the apex of the heavens and suddenly the whole land is lit up by a Herculean torch in the sky. As the hellhounds howl and growl through it all.
So yeah, it was just after midnight and I stood outside of the luxurious Camp Fallujuah’s press hootch which was housing just me tonight, prepping to enjoy one last cigarette and a an ipod song or two. Camp Fallujah was a safety zone far enough of outside of the city that it’s arguably misnomored. Tomorrow I would leave for the dreaded and legendary capital of hell on earth itself. The remains of the Jihadi Fallujah, not this American Mall version I was at for the night. Which was fine by me for many reasons, one being that I was on a camp full of pogs and it literally had an ill effect on me.
I lit the Marlboro, hit shuffle on the ipod, and up came this song ( I recommend just letting it play while continuing to read):
Under present circumstances its dirge-like nature was freaky but unmetionable enough. However, the arc light moon above caught my eye. As God is my witness, a little cloud, in the precise shape of the silohuette of the grim reaper began to pass over the edge of the moon right as this beautiful angel starts singing something that I’m making out to be about dying…in the cold…which it very much is in Iraq right now …my sister told me she was going to die, in so many technically not precise but actually precise words….I lock my eyes onto this cloud, this Grim Reaper silhouette again, because I know it’s bullshit, that’s not really the shape…”I’d like to die” she’s singing again…”Where were you when I was lonesome..” which just made the whole song seem so perfectly tailored to the here and now cos every bit of friend and family I had had been cut off from me for weeks and weeks… “locked away in freezing cold”) so yeah I’m deadlocked onto this cloud only to see that I was dead right in the firs.t place, God damn, can you fucking believe this, that fucking thing is a perfect replica, chest up, of the Grim fucking reaper, and this song just comes on about dying and I ain’t psychic but I have had just under a handful of truly powerful and mostly disturbing precognitive experiences and this damned to hell cloud won’t change shape at all as it passes slowly taking full minutes, and the button called random brought me this song, one of the most simultaneously beautiful and sad and entirely about death freak you out meditations that I’ve ever heard and the voice isn’t even human, it’s a goddamn angel, and the cloud’s still the same as it drifts and i just say out loud to myself and God above “I’m going to die in Fallujah. What the fuck? Why you gotta tell me this now? Why not just let it happen? I don’t need to know this shit, do I?”
“I don’t wanna swim the ocean
I don’t wanna fight the tide
I don’t to live forever
When it’s cold, I’d like to die”
She’s singin’ and I’m smokin’ and now pacin’. Laugh, but when your in a place like that you’re constantly seeing signs in your mind posted everywhere.

Been on a bit of a hiatus. Just found out last week I have an 18 year old daughter. We have been doing a lot of catching up. Needless to say that the phone call I got last thursday was a jaw dropper and left me stunned. A woman I had dated while I was in the Navy who suddenly left without telling me. She was put up for adoption and thankfully has a wonderful mother who cared for her. Life is full of surprises is it not?

September 7th, 2008 at 8:13 amI’ve been getting this weird banner message on this website, a lot lately:

Is something wrong with the host server? Or is this malicious activity from the Obama Thought Police?

This site seems to always hit on something that is close to home, one way or another. The same thing happened to my half-brother whom I’m not in rouch with as I should. He sent a pic of his teenage kids and I had to reply back about the 15 year old nephew I didn’t know I had. Same deal, his old Navy days and a fling with a meth-head that all of a sudden got him a child support notice from California. After the DNA tests confirmed, he sued and got custody. Seems the kid is fine except for some California “attitudes” that will be dealt with, ha.
I like Pats come back….hmmm, wonder when Pat will get the news from his seed spread all over the globe.
Fannie Mae and Fredie Mac Flash,
Just watched Treasury Sec. Paulson et.al. on C-Span and they took them over into Conservatorship. He said since the two hasn’t passed on any rate reductions to the troubled loan entities and any real attempt to flip the NINJA loans (No Income, No Job,or Assets), the only way the gov. was going to bail them out was if they came with it. The current CEO’s will leave shortly, ( I hoped for prison) and will be replaced by Sec. Tres. appointees. $5.2 trillion in debt!!!
September 7th, 2008 at 9:31 amI guess a few year back the US instituted 12 Family Home Loan Banks that are solid and hope to infuse 20 billion/month from them into the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac system and hopefully by 2010, the market will start to rise on home appraisals etc.. Hell, that’s two years quicker than the mess in the early ’80’s took, 5 years? Won’t know if any taxes will have to be used for the mess yet. Now, to find and inprison the shit heads that made those loans…might be a boom in prison construction just to hold them.
not to complain about the video or anything..but its not a song Pat

September 7th, 2008 at 12:04 pmSomething like dancing with the devil in the full moons light? As you know, I am sure, the message is not always what we see or hear. Sometimes the messages we see/hear are to make us think to find the true message. And sometimes we are simply warned of the devils work so we make change it’s out come.
Yeah, it’s a song. Wrong vid was up but only for about 5 mins.
September 7th, 2008 at 12:47 pmLike the bottom says, “To be continued”…
September 7th, 2008 at 12:49 pmFor some reason a quote from Bibi Netanyahu just popped into my mind. I hope it means something special to someone here. This is from memory so it may not be exact. Regarding the Palestinian terrorists he said, “I don’t hate them for all the destruction and death they have inflicted on Israel, I hate them for makeing me kill them for it.” I interpreted this as the protest of someone that is not a willing killer but a defender and, when all else fails, an avenger.
September 7th, 2008 at 1:08 pmPat, after the Moby video this came up on the menu, it’s called “Down in the Park”.
This is you in Ramadi, yes.
I ask because there’s no credits to you or YA.
Or am I wrong?

September 7th, 2008 at 1:35 pmI get confused easily…especially today for some reason.
Thanks.
September 7th, 2008 at 1:59 pmUh, that’s weird, maybe. The Ramadi video “Down In The Park” is mine.

FRAGMENTS FROM
PALIN! THE MUSICAL.
http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2008/9/4greenman.html
September 7th, 2008 at 7:54 pmHawaii checking in.
One of my favorite movies is Jean Cocteau’s French version of “Beauty and the Beast” (La Belle et la Bete).
After one of the Beast’s midnight killing rampages in the forest, he towers at Beauty’s door, steam rising from his head and body.
She haughtily demands that he “clean himself” (nettoyer vous).
It’s a movie fit for the kids. Beauty looks like she has been around the block a time or two, though.
September 7th, 2008 at 9:01 pmok this is a very incomplete snippet of an interview with Biden, so who knows the full context, but I think it’s funny.

September 7th, 2008 at 11:06 pmI swear, that Big Dog’s legs look like the bottom halves of two people, with the front guy walking backwards. Freaky!
Billie,
Well Cocteau wasn’t what we discribe as an author for Kids, though he wrote about childhood, or rather teenshood.
He was more a poet, theater author, an artist who had Picasso and alike as friends, he could also draw, direct movies.
His movies are very oniric and aesthetic
September 7th, 2008 at 11:25 pmI love that McSweeneys musical. Gennius. I mean “genius.”
