Synchronicities!!! What the Fuck!

Today is the last day of the year and crazy thing is I asked my family if they wanted to take a cruise through Crystal and drive through the roads in Chuska and arrive at Mexican Springs and then continue on from there. Just testing out my new truck, since we used to enjoy the drive up to Chuska with our Jeeps, but this truck is just as great and also has a skid plate on the bottom, for those that go off roading! So as far as traveling to Asaayi Lake, which it was closed of course, but we drove by and across the stress that was frozen, but still drove through. Truck got a little dusty, but the drive was smooth.

After we got to the turn off for south 491 we decided that the truck should be washed. Great thing is no one was there, so got in quick. Well the reason I decided to talk about synchronicities, yes Zak says that all the time, so now I know that is a sign as well, but I decided to change my music to classic rock with bands like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and what ends up playing?…….None other than my brother Ernie and I’s favorite rock song by SoundGarden, “Black Hole Sun,” and then it kicks in and I realize that this band was led by Chris Cornell, who was also in Audioslave. Who also happened to be close friends with my favorite band that got me through those days of me wanting to die.

Yes I love and miss Chester Bennington, I found Linkin Park in 2001 when I was still in high school and about to travel to South Carolina for Basic Training, then Georgia for AIT, a slight break and then travelled to South Korea where I was really listening. Then shit really hit the fan and next thing I know I am on 24 hour suicide watch. Eventually I was sent to Camp Red Cloud and then kicked out for reporting a rape that the Army didn’t want to help me with and decided to state that I could not hack the service. That’s a poor fucking excuse to throw a soldier out. Aside from all that I have always looked to Chester for inspiration and motivation.

My all time favorite video is “In the end” because this is where I definitely wanted a labret piercing just like him. Eventually I would adapt my piercing to something comfortable, but I will say that it was more painful than I thought. Then again now I know how fish feel when they get that hook in their lip, well it hurts. I mean all I got was watery eyes, but no tears dropping or scream, just did it and done! Without Chester I would have not lived as well as not meeting and having a great friend in my life. Maybe he was my brother in some way, Dio I miss you like crazy!!!! Why didn’t you contact me I was always there and then you were gone, but I know you are around watching everyone you care about! Thank you Chester Bennington, Dio Denetdeal, and my brother Ernie. May they all rest in peace in their shangri-la.
