Aces High

Eddie Kasbrak has a simple life. He runs a successful flower shop down town, has a impressive collection of antique coins and if he’s lucky, will have a date from the cute owner of the record store across the street. Yes, everything is easy, predictable and more importantly, safe.

That is until he’s at his bank, making a deposit and tumbles face first into a heist. In the havoc of it all one of the robbers bust his face open with the butt of his 12 gauge. Bleeding onto his pressed shirt he contemplates his last words, looking down the double barrel he decides that it had been a good life. It looks bad, that is until the other robber yells, “Are you fucking stupid? That’s Eddie Kaspbrak! Do you want to die?”

“Shit! I didnt know-he looks different!” The gun lowers and a look of terror fills the robbers eyes. Eddie is gaping, watching the two stumble over their words, apologizing over and over. “Don’t tell Mr. Tozier.” He pleads, “Please! It’ll be our heads!”

They couldn’t possibly mean-“Tozier? Do you mean Richie Tozier?” Eddie hadn’t seen that four eyed, lanky limbed boy since he had ditched Derry that one especially cold September night. A shiver runs down his spine just as the two nod. “Wh-what the fuck?”

The thieves run out in a hurry, leaving a confused and terrified Eddie on the bank floor. There were so many questions,

Why were those men so scared?

How did they know his name?

I'm bisexual. And to be fair, my partner and I are not official yet but we are heavily planning to be and she refers to me as husband so I just refer to her as wife :))

I wrote this December 5th 2013 “this fb generation

     I wish that people would stop being so passive aggressive with literally everything in life. If you have a problem, why don't you use your mouth to communicate that to others, as opposed to blowing people off and talking smack behind their back. This generation doesn't have any respect, manners or decency for others and it disgusts me. Everyone is too busy being obsessed with themselves and how people will percieve them. It's all about keeping up appearances. People exploit themselves on the internet daily, it's as if they think that they're celebrities or something. In a 2012 UK survey 50% of people agreed that facebook friendships are superficial and 25% confessed to exaggerating on facebook to sound cool and exciting. Most are constantly trying to one up eachother for attention, the more likes you get the more relevant you are, right?  According to the same survey facebook users generate 3.2 BILLION likes daily. 80% of friend requests sent are accepted, and 80% of users are willing to add complete strangers. 28% of users share all of their posts, pictures, information and content with an audience wider than their friends. That sounds completely safe, I mean come on now. It's sad, really sad. Is nothing kept personal anymore?

   But people love the attention, it fuels their ego. Most girls now a days try to sound cool and orginal so they post status' including "life lessons" and "advice", who do you think you are? Ann Landers or Dear Abbie? As if I'm about to take advice from some 18 year old who complains about boys in every other status. It's funny to me how serious people take themselves, we live in a world where people are more in love with themselves than they are with their partner. But I guess that's just one of the many things we have to get accustomed to living in a world obsessed with social networking. The world we live in is now teeming with mobile technology with interactions over facebook, twitter and other networking sites and in the midst of all this we have sacrificed conversation for more connection.
