"Alrighty,
all trailer's hooked up and ready to go...man, have I
ever set-up by myself? Last show in Columbus I kind of
did..but Jess and Moose came later...so no, this is
the first. John Rocker...what dumbass.
I certainly wouldn't have done a thing to him
though... not that I'm saying Selig didn't have the
right, but come ON...Rocker hurt himself more than any
suspension could've. Callin' your teamate a fat
MONKEY. Good GOD. Get a brain man... If I were Selig
I'd of said: 'I heard Rocker's comments, I was
disgusted by them, and I cannot wait until spring
training to see a good ol' fashioned ass whoopin. Heh
Heh... JESUS why the hell is it so backed up? God damn
it's 7 PM on a Wednesday. Damnit I'm gonna get in an
accident, I just know it. And my trailer still
has Ohio tags...shit..."

"Wow, am
I out of shape. Good GOLLY these TVS are heavy.
am I gonna pass out? Jesus, lemme sit down for a
second...Ok,
MAN WOULD IT KILL YOU TO OPEN A DOOR?
Man this stuff is heavy, I really shouldve eaten
something today. Those ramen noodles give you the
energy of an 80 year old. Ok, everything's in... now
to try and set-up in this corner...'No ma'am it's like
a one man show'...'No this is NOT karaoke,
that'll still be on around 10 PM'...'Ya see I'm in
each TV singing'...'yeah it's pretty
cool...4TVS.COM! The number not the word man'...'Yeah

just want to see my children...this is horrible...I
should not be thingking about this at 24...I barely
eat anything at all..not like I'm downin' grease every
night...oh and here's my pizza perfect. 'huh? No,

"damn
that pizza smells good...please just let me get home
so I can tell Jess how much i love her. God...we have
no way of letting me go to a doctor for another month,

drop...WHAT HAPPENED? Why would my arms just give
out and my chest beat uncontrollably...oh fuck
me..that can't be a cop...ok, no....goddamn ohio
plates...almost home...and there...finally made
it..."
-
- Well, there's my
spinoff of being John Malkovich. I am scared out of my
mind right now. I really think I had a heart
attack. Worst 5 minutes of my life. My arms really
just let go and my chest hurt like hell and started
beating so quickly...it was extremely intense.
I had done the video thing as "Being John
Malkovich" before this happened obviously and figured
it might be a good way of telling what happened.
Horrible, horrible...if anyone has EVER had this
happen please write to me as soon as possible. I feel
fine now, and am simply sore, but I do nkow what your
life flashing before you means. I've had the irregular
heartbeat for as long as I can remember. Just recently
I have thought it may be irregular. I always thought I
was just concentrating on it. Like when I lay in bed
sometimes...I can hear it so loud that it feels like
my body is shaking...and then there's one big PUMP and
it pauses..and then catches up...is that an irregular
heart beat? Well fuck as I write this it certainly
seems stupid of me not to think so. God I'm scared to
go to sleep right now. Seeing Hank Gathers collapse
and die on the tv as I was going through this was the
single scariest thing I've ever seen. They kept
showing this slo-motion shots and fast cuts of them
carying his body off...GOD. What a night. I'll level
with you here...I am scared. I want a family and
I want to be ooooold. God, and my parents are
gonna read this before I can tell them...I'll try to
get ahold of them tomorrow. Wow, I don't want to
sleep. Ok, enough of this. I'll tell more when it
happens. PLEASE RESPOND with any advice, I really need
it right now.
