(fade in: the room is not well light. You can tell it is some sort of library setting. In the center of the room is a candle on a table, you can see through the dim light books on shelves. To one corner you see a chair, and a figure on that chair. He is in all black, and his face is covered. After a short pause, his head pokes out, and reveals the unshaven face of Nikolai Ash, enjoying a good book.. or so we’d think, for the light is too dark for someone to be able to consciously read. He looks tired, exhausted, and paranoid. As the camera zooms in, he bites his lower lip with one tooth, and begins to breath heavily.)
..some say, I am not one for conformity that I stay away from the center of the ever evolving conundrum, this is but a fallacy of the mind perpetrated by my fancies and my millions of cells combining together to create a fantasy of the imagination and perpetrating your cerebellum. Maybe it’s just me, but I do not think it’s possible for one to be able to not conform at least once in their existence, it’s a distinct possibility.. and we’ve all let down our Loral’s to it’s evil lady in blue. Does one follow me..
::long mind-numbing pause:::
Or does one go off on their own, take the fork in the road to their own bliss or their own damnation? I guess that’s up to interpretation and I guess it’s up to your beliefs, and how strong you are mentally and how you can battle starvation .. not of the literal sense, as in that your stomach yearns for food. .where your palate.. demands the nutrients. The starvation that deals with a different palate, the palate of life.. and all it’s colours.. where they have become so DRAB! AND MONOTONOUS! That one can only follow their own way, because they can not put up with the world in front of us, and it’s conformity, it’s white shirt, black tie, black blazer.. world, the Hello Mum, Hello Pop, what’s for dinner tonight, TV Dinner, let’s go watch some Leave It To Beaver.. day, they must take a chance, and make something of themselves.
I think to myself that I’ve come to that point, I am not sure why I did not realize it sooner, maybe because I was too preoccupied with others, then myself, or maybe not, I do confuse myself quite often and I may be off on a tangent where I can not recover, and even the laws of physics and other such worldly sciences can not help but keep me from spinning off into an oblivion, a higher consciousness, and some states of euphoria. Is it rapture, that turns a man into what they are to become later in life? Is it the delight of a home-cooked meal, the smell of perfume on their lovers neck, or is it the dread, the fear, the pain they suffer at a young, docile age that turns them into the flesh-eating, carnivorous, sometimes cannibalistic adults they will become?
::Ash begins to crack his neck and then puts it down and breaths, he begins to sulk::
::grabbing a full hand of hair:: …What is it? What? Why? What is it? Why now? Now, later? How come? Here? Now? In front of them? But.. Jesus, Christ.. I don’t need this. Do you need this? ::faces camera::
…uhh, no. I didn’t think so, the torments of another man.. are not for the low-intellectual types that tune in weekly to sit and drool. The women in their tight spandex and leopard blouse, wishing to grapple with the oily men in the ring, the men wishing their wives would think about them like that… so they decide to go to the gym, and work out.. daily, and forget about their kids.. their mortgage, their wife all together.. and end up getting a divorce.. and die a lonely life, chugging Creatine and chasing it down with vodka.
Why is it so difficult? Is why the real question? Or is what the real answer? I’m not sure. Do I make sense, or do I lack sensibility? Are you stable, or are you unable to remain sane? Do your drapes, match the carpet.. or does your cousin not want to know? How much dirt is in a hole, and where does Mr. Roger live, and why do I need him as a neighbor so badly? Questions are never answered, why? That’s simply the answer. They’re rhetorical, in so many ways.. questions lack answers, because the ones asking are too busy, and too lazy to find out the answers by themselves, they must starve them selves, and purge to the almighty knowing ones.. the busy-bodies, who know it all down at Curl Up and Dye, hair salon. .. can you relate to them, probably not, but can you relate to me, even less so. This takes me to a point… wrestling, the spectacle of a human being, a talent passed down through the ages…
::Ash picks his head up and squints his left eye::
With a clump of phlegm in my throat, I begin to realize that what I do in that ring matters, not only to me.. but to the peons and slow-witted industrial computer controlled trailer park oil slicks. It also matters to the ones living the cold outer reaches of the North Pole, not the real North Pole.. but the figment portion that lives inside of us all.. the one our fathers and mothers told us was where Santa and his reindeers lived. But when have you ever seen a reindeer fly, that, or any animal with antlers? I am not sure, but I cant say I have.. but I cant say I’ve seen God.. either.. but some say he lives, in a cloud some where.. up there, but according to Godzilla movies, so did he.. so maybe God is Godzilla… or is it a coincidence that is rather ironic and uncanny?
::Ash takes a deep breath, cocks his jaw and begins to talk, with a smug look on his face::
..why is it in wrestling, ones must always talk and complain about other combatants, and never the one they’re truly going to face? Well it appears it’s the trend everyone is following, just like I mentioned before.. trends.. and conformity are the rage, even in the lowest ranks of professional wrestling… it’s a shame, but nothing unexpected or overlooked. But I suppose it’s okay.. when you’re a relative, or a figment of my imagination from an island that doesn’t exist.. and is home to giant green monsters with monster truck mullets.. you could land a Boeing jet upon. But the relative, is no excuse neither is a lock of hair popular to rednecks..or people from Ohio.
::chuckles::
As a child, I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to play with action figures.. especially because they did not seem manly enough.. .they were too closely linked to dolls, but apparently.. Lawler… the white bearded eight-foot tall bunny suit-wearing catastrophe of epic pan crate proportions never got over the phase of playing with dolls and combing their hair between his legs as he sat in a pink dress on his rusted out swing set his parents found in a backyard next to a swamp, labeled toxic. But I guess some don’t learn to read, and tetanis is rampant.
But then again what do I know? My limbs fly off when someone pins me or does any type of maneuver to me, or so my action figure that the mythical Santa created.. or elves, or Smurfs, or whatever creatures he has working for him now. I am sort of a paraplegic now.. or I have leprosy, which do you prefer? I can be the human torpedo, or the human Mr. Potato-Head? But I guess I just leave in a dream world, a world of lucid thoughts.. and such such such such enigmatic asphyxiations to the president, and yada yada yada… dreams.
The more I think about it, life is very dreamy…but,
…some say, this is all a dream. Some also say, life is but a short story.. with tragic endings.
