As most of you know, I have suffered a very deep loss over the sudden death of my friend Tom.

Tom was like me-a rude punk-that is why I loved him. He had no inhibitions-he made his own way in the world-he was a writer and an artist in the days 25 and 30 years ago when you could express yourself-you could shock and expose and the authority could not beat you down like today-with their oppressive tools-like background checks, credit reports-all of this is done to keep YOU IN LINE!!

If they don’t like what they see-no job or no credit.

You know what WHO CARES!!

Thankfully some people DON’T. They are not intimidated by the authority tools and will still speak their minds and be themselves, not act like a phony stuck up cardboard stand up like the people who run this town.

I never believed that people could actually live without a spine-but Cheshire has proven me wrong!! AMAZING.

The last time I spoke with Tom, a few weeks ago, we talked about his fave movie: A Clockwork Orange.

You see, the kids today think they are punks, but believe me-they are no where near what we were. They are mind controlled by those cell phones, they constantly text-they are addicted to electronics and THAT is how the man controls you-I AM CONVINCED THEY ARE SENDING SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES TO THESE KIDS TODAY-TO CONTROL THEM.

You can see it-they have no drive-no get up and go-they act like zombies-ADDICTED TO RADIO FREQUENCY WAVES!!

SAD!!

When I think of Tom and A Clockwork Orange, I think about how OPPOSITE I AM FROM CHESHIRE-I AM THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THIS TOWN IS!!

Slowly, I see many in my generation being left at the station so to speak. Our way of thinking and living is dying and so are we.

I remember when I first came to Cheshire nearly 25 years ago, I didn’t care about what went on here- I really still don’t. I actually had to create Undergroundtown hall as an outlet of expression and free thinking, SOMETHING NOT ALLOWED IN CHESHIRE!!

Nothing controversial or out of line will be tolerated here-I started, used and kept UTH as a defense against the machine that runs this town-I knew as long as I kept writing on UTH I could keep the wolves from the door.

But over the years, (since 2003) I started getting tired of it-I wanted to end UTH last year but decided against it.

Now, that my dearest friend in the entire world is gone, someone who encouraged me and helped me since my childhood-I don’t know what I will do.

Honestly, I don’t care WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS TOWN-I COULD CARE LESS-IT IS PHONY BORING AND SNOBBY.

I don’t pay one dime of property tax to any of the stuck up bastards that run this place, (I leave that up to my spouse) so I really have no stake in any of the issues.

I don’t care if the mill rate is 80-IT DOESN’T AFFECT ME. I don’t care about that dumb ass lifestyle center-the schools, the raises the teachers got-WHO CARES.

I only did UTH to twist up and annoy the people who run this town-ANYTHING ELSE I DID ON UTH WAS GRAVY.

Now I will have to put things into perspective-so I will slow down my posts-but remember, like a drug resistant bacteria-I CAN AND WILL RESURFACE AT ANY TIME.
