I was relieved when the Sunglasses were terminated.
I was glad to finally rid myself of the burden of success
and the pressures of fame. Any semblance of a normal life
had been ruined by rabid fans and the heartless paparazzi.
I stayed in, drew the curtains, collected the royalty cheques,
shot a smorgasbord of drugs, and watched the old videos on 14
large screen televisions. After a few months, however, the
videos stopped running, the royalty cheques stopped flowing,
and the fans and paparazzi no longer seemed to care.
I found myself drunkenly stumbling into the old haunts we used to play,
slurring "Don't you people know who I am?" and warbling whatever
lyrics to "My Cat Got Run Over by a Bus" I could remember.
I was nineteen and already a has-been. I was depressed and out
of control. I checked myself into the Betty Ford Clinic where
I met a Russian figure skating coach who took me under her wing.
For several years, I trained and skated in a number of low level
competitions, gearing up towards finally making it to the Olympics.
I never achieved this goal, however. The lifestyle simply burned
me out; all that jet lag and performance enhancing drugs had taken
its toll and I found myself, once again, in detox.
It was there that I met the Reverend Elvis Saunders.
He is the man responsible for turning my life around and teaching
me that rock'n'roll and athletics are the Devil's workshops. I
learned that being a spectator of such activities is equally sinful
as participating. In fact, even reading about these subjects is high
risk behavior. Therefore, I urge you to get off of this site, right
now, or BURN IN HELL!!
