Jeremy


NEWS BREAK

Jeremy has moved to Seattle to pursue a lucrative career in window tinting. The funny thing is that many of you know who Jeremy is, but I would imagine that many others have no idea who Jeremy is.

He is the man who has/can/will:

1. Play the electric guitar until you either cry from immense pleasure or die from the riffs.
2. Make you understand that there is life after a life of adversity.
3. Talk to you, completely interested, while he drops a tip--the whole time knowing you better.
4. Always be excited to see you and have a contagious energy during the entire event.
5. Borrow a buck.
6. Be relentlessly decent while remaining a spectacular friend.
7. Supported every decision I have ever made.
8. Known me since I was 6 years old.
999. Has too much talent; missing his creative outlet.

Most great artists have problems with the "regular" world. Everyone knows this. We do not usually accept it until someone with more intellect shows us what is it we are missing once the artist is gone; Jeremy is a perfect example. I think it is hard to look inside oneself and figure out where he is going; however, maybe it is not necessary; maybe we should let him be famous; he must be some day!

Let's wish him well in his new adventures in the Emerald City! The point I am making is that:

At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops With him on top lemin yellow sun, arms raised in a v And the dead lay in pools of maroon below Daddy didnt give attention Oh, to the fact that mommy didnt care King jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world... Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x) Clearly I remember pickin on the boy Seemed a harmless little fuck Ooh, but we unleashed a lion... Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess ladys breast... How can I forget? And he hit me with a surprise left My jaw left hurtin...ooh, dropped wide open Just like the day...oh, like the day I heard Daddy didnt give affection, no... And the boy was something that mommy wouldnt wear King jeremy the wicked...oh, ruled his world Jeremy spoke in class today... (3x) Woo... (14x) Try to forget this...try to forget this... Try to erase this...try to erase this... ]from the blackboard... Jeremy spoke in class today... (2x) Jeremy spoke in, spoke in... (2x) Jeremy spoke in class today... Woo... (29x) Woooooohhh...spoke in, spoke in... Woooooohhh...uh huh, uh huh...
