about

Dude, holy shit... they found it! I can’t believe it but they actually found it. You know those kids up the street? The ones that are always skating their kicker and smoking cigs out in front of their mom’s house? The ones that have been trying to rebuild the same dirt bike since junior high? You know, the ones who sold me that fake hash that was really just melted incense? Well, they did it. Those weird, sketchy little fuckers found it. They found that one summer day when all of our friends were together, and we were all happy, and we were all high. And we were all in the back of a dead pick-up truck, and we were cussing and we were yelling and we were having ourselves a good old-fashioned goof-off. And we were crazy in love with each other and with ourselves. And we were very much aware that one day we would all be dead and gone, and that was somehow the most beautiful part of this whole fucking “life” kick. What I’m trying to tell you is these kids found our greatest day. They found it, and they caught it for us. And now we can go back there whenever we want. And I guess, in that way, our summers and our lovers and our lives will never fully die off. And we can all be together again. And we can all be happy again. And we can all live forever. All we need is a tape player.
