A Human Train Wreck

Robert Brown - A man trying to figure out how society works.

He has allergies, asthma, urinary track infections, drinks and drugs to excess, and has a case of STD's that would make Ron Mexico jealous. Okay, just kidding about the STD's; but he may be the most unlucky person I ever met.

He was kicked out of his parents house when he was young because they expected him to grow out of his early age love for rock and roll. Whereas Rob wound up being exceptionally talented in music and that wound up being his only love to the displeasure of his parents. So out the door he went, and he rarely hears from his parents to this day. The worst part is the fact that he has no one to turn to, which is where his friends try to come in. His music prowess is pretty boundless and, even though he sound like a psycho, he can play a soft melody just as well as he plays death metal. He has been a hardcore musician in the Boston scene that just hasn't given him a break yet.

He keeps running into the wrong women for relationships, mostly because of the scene he is always in. The hardcore shows with crazy psycho chicks, that don't amount to much. At least not yet. He wants to get into a real relationship, and move out of the apartment situation he lives in now. It's just him and another dude in a 3 room apartment, and they are currently looking for another tenant if anyone is interested. He is constantly pursuing the next automobile, because each one he gets soon or later bites the dust. His inspection sticker is out of date and when he parks on a street he puts a note under the windshield wiper blade so you can't tell.

Just a man on a collision course with Hell, which is exactly where he loves and hates to be. The is no solution for him except to help him out, like I know he'd help me, and hope that things work out with time. His last relationship, he wound up setting fire to the girls apartment, and burned it up pretty good just so he could get his immense Star Wars collection that the girl was holding ransom because of their breakup. Then he made an album dedicated to her in which he played all the instruments and did vocals in a bombed out basement with a 4 track. He named his one man band Whoremastery and one of the 4 songs is under his picture. His main band Terratism is in flux because after the summer they need to find a new drummer and Nelson Correia, their current drummer is disgustingly talented. So that will be a challenge for him in the future.

I just keep telling him to call me whenever he might be having suicidal ideation, and that my futon is open to him at any time. I love the guy. Except for the burning down the apartment thing. I let him know that bothered me. He's promised me he'd never do anything like that again. I swear the kid is a really nice kid. Good people do bad things sometimes. Just as long as it's sometimes.

If we are all God's children, why does he forget some of them?
