Unc,
About them metaphors and similes:
You said:
: To truly scare someone ya gotta get into their head. I know you bro.Farkel I've seen into parts of your deep dark soul (ain't that scarey enough?) we're like dead men walking you and I .. forever bound by the same trap ...forever yoked in the camaraderie of the damned .. seeking elusive serenity through lifes turbulant fog .. seeking relief from the maelstrom of memories mixed with nightmares replayed over and over in our heads at night... We we're like old coats at a Brooklyn lost and found you and I, moldy and forgoten, soaked in dank napthelene darkness but for the pin beam of the key hole beconing us out.. Now we are old coats walking around in the fresh spring breeze with newspapers stuffed in the moth holes ... after a life of not seeing, not hearing, not understanding, as though at the baptismal dunk we'd made some pact with the devil herself, some deliberate, conscious refusal to see this sad bad mad world as it is ... we've liberated ourselves into the light .. too much light .. social outcasts .. emotional shipwrecks .. vegetables rejected from the kitchen of life .. useless as a raw cabbage we re-made ourselves hard, strong, cynical, mistrusting ..
(Note to the newer ones: Uncle Bruce and I go back a long ways. Years, even. We spoken on the telephone numerous times. He talks funny. That's about all I want to say about that!)
