Home Is Where You Hang Your...Self

Isn't that a Replacements lyric? Anyway...it feels like Fall in Y-Hicka, and it almost is. Now I can drive around with my windows rolled down and listen to The d.b.'s. That's the best thing about being in Yreka (or, specifically, Grenada)--Fall (the season). It brings back great memories of horrible times in my life when I was 16 and 17 and driving around Yreka with my windows rolled down and listening to The d.b.'s. Being alone in a small town gives one time to do things...like drive around listening to The d.b.'s and The Troggs and The Dream Syndicate. And my newest favorite, The Fruitbats. Some people are incapable of driving around and listening to music (that's not programmed for them by Central Control on the radio). Some people can't just shut the fuck up about things that don't matter and listen to music. No wonder most of today's music sucks--no one really listens to it. When I'm not driving around listening to music or drinking coffee and reading Spengler's Decline of the West at my favorite cafe (THE VILLAGE GRIND in Yreka), then I'm hiking or going to the Yreka Denny's and reading Spengler's Decline of the West. If you ever feel like you're too smart, read Spengler. Then, unless you're smarter than me, you'll feel dumb. But it won't make you happy. Because just the fact that you're reading Spengler means you're smarter than 99.8% of the population. It's a lose/lose situation. Oh well. I could be a negative bastard right now, or I could stop writing and go watch ESPN and make sure the A's are still in first place proper and then go to Denny's and read Decline of the West. I think I will do the latter...especially since Cyndi Lauper's "Money Changes Everything" is playing right now. As ever, your Rocket From the Tombs, FELIX (p.s. You do know that you're supposed to google the phrases between As ever...and...Felix, right? That's how you attain Top Secret--well, not anymore--C.O.T. Agent information) Let's try it once more... As ever, your Decline of the West, FELIX.

I'm sorry, I forgot to rumiate on the fall in Yreka. I really feel like I'm home when fall hits Yreka. I truly loved playing football and chatting up girls during the fall...the mid and late 80's rule! Shooting deer and drinking beer with my dad was and is terribly cool. Felix was too busy reading RIP and Metal Circus to really appreciate the Yreka Fall. The brisk mornings and hot afternoons were poof that we were existing. Even at 16 you had to appreciate these things...drinking in excess and driving were also very fun. But the smell of fall in yreka is something to experience. I have a flood of fond memories when I roll into Y-Town at the crack of midnight. I just feel like i need to go straight to the "brown House" and start the party...felix, don't be sad...just join my AC/DC tribute band. A girl in my class brought in a cd of Metallica (the Black album) and described it to me. I laughed for all of us Yrekans.

I felt the incoming fall and was reminded of bad (and good) memories too. But I'm not ready for it to be autumn yet. It's just fucking depressing when all the leaves die.

I will be in Montague this weekend.
Perhaps I will come across you-
amid the big city of Yreka.

I am in waterfield listening to Mr.Biafra, and reading C.O.T...for some reason I am suddenly angry with the university.
