The Man Who Never Heard of Frank Sinatra
by Aaron Fogel


The man who had never heard of Frank Sinatra: he lived
A perfectly ordinary life in America. Born in 1915,
He followed all the fads, read the newspapers, listened

To Television, knew who Dean Martin and Sammy whathisname
Were (Sinatra's friends), but somehow, by a one in a
Zillion fluke, whenever Sinatra came up, he was out of the room.

Or his attention was diverted by something else, and
(You will say this is impossible, that it cannot be), never
Heard him sing, like a man in my generation who somehow

Missed the Beatles though he had heard everything else.
Once, just as he was about to hear the name Frank Sinatra
A plane flew overhead--he was fifty-five years old--his hearing

A little more impaired. He had heard of Humphrey Bogart,
Of Elizabeth Taylor, of Walter Cronkite, and of perhaps a hundred
Forty thousand other celebrities names by the time he died,

And yet he had never heard of Frank Sinatra. The Greeks had
That famous saying, "The luckiest man is he who was never born."
Which is kind of gloomy, but I think they were wrong.

The luckiest man is he who never heard of Frank Sinatra.

Marineer Stories Pt. 2 out of 3

(The California and on the way to and back etc etc) I dont really feel like typing the same way as before, so I'll just keep the title >:

OKAY

SO

BEFORE AH WENT TO MEXICO. WE GOT ON A PLANE TO LA. Southwest Airlines, nothing much interesting, I played Taiko and Phoenix Wright while I waited at the airport, and then i passed out on tha airplanelol. I wore this shirt that Choco gave to me as a present, cause I wanted something that had atleast some value to me so that I wouldnt feel like I was too appart from him. Bawwwww.(The shirt was previously his. GUYS MEDIUM GO. ) Anyways, I wore that shirt, with some.. kinda brown and green plaid shorts that I had bought from Forever21 along time ago, and my new loves-- my new (well, used) Rolands~ (RH-50 GO! ) and new black converse :3 I really like that outfit! Anywaysanyways, on the plane I sat by the wing, so after a while of staring..

BEFORE STARING

AFTER STARING ALOT

Kinda looks like the cardcrusher facelol.

Anyways! We got off and rested at the toolshed ( which isnt actually that small. o_o ) and then the next day, spent the day at court with my stepdad. It was pretty great. I was playing alot of Phoenix wright in there, so I explained it to my stepdad, and then he got all his attorney friends and made me explain it to them..

And they ended up turns yelling out OBJECTION lolololol. Other than that I was sleepy all day long. I missed my incognegro too much to sleep the night before. >: We went around to some malls, and then went home, if I remember right. The day after, it was Saturday, so we went early to downtown L.A., which was kinda uncomfortable to me.. I mean, I like it.. a little bit.. Kinda.. But it just felt tooo dirty.


Anyways. I enjoyed heading to the toy district, where I bought some charms for my DS, and two pins, I think I lost one in Mexico though.

Im gonna go sleep so ill finish this tomorrow

Marineer Stories Pt. 1

When ah was a little Marineer, Mama Marineer ahways took us to Mexicow to visit the rest of the Marineer fahmily. Of course, ah never waanted to goo. But ah hahd to anyways.

This time, Mama Marineer left Big Sister Marineer in Marizona, and took us to Meeexico. Ah was stuck here for twooo whoole dang weeks. The first week ah crieeed like a little baby marineer. I wanted to go back to Marizona sooo bad. Ah missed my Choconeer so much ah thought ah was gonna die. I went to Aunt Marineer to get mah Mari hairs from mah headz cut, but the woman cut them tooo danggg short. >: Then the rest of the week my butt turned into like a Sentry gun that hand been sapped by no spah yet. Every time something passed into my stomach I pooped and pooped.

Moctezuma's REVENGE.

Sometime that week, there were alot of soldiers on the street we were on, and they closed the street off. It was like 2 am and they all had guns so we all went to hide in another room for like an hour. Turns oyr they were examining a car and they found two dead bodies in the trunk. >: And that was like.. 10 feet away from the house we were in.

The second week ah went to the teef doctor to get mah teefs fixed. I was hoping he'd take my train tracks off mah teefs, but he said next time. I had to sit there like a dumb Mari with mah mouth open wide while he fixed my teefs. Then for like the rest of the week, my teefs hurt like crazy! They still hurt. While ah sat around playing my DS (Dual Sentry :V) ah steamrolled sum prosecutors in Phoenix Wright, and finished the whole game. Then, I played Taiko no Tatsujin and started reading red and blue notes as easily as stealin sum intelligencez. Raight now aahm playin sum Pokemans.

Just now I got back from the beach, were hopefully I tanned a bit. I made some sand castles, almost died from a wave, scraped my knee on sand, went in the pool, etc. My buttcrack must be full of sand :V

Some noteable things ah, the precious Marineer, did:

- Saved a Monarch butterfly. Poor little lady was strugglin on the floor. Ah put some leaves and water and flowers by it and it worked. after a while it started flying again.

- Built a ton of paper boats and let them float down the flooded streets :D Im such a skillfull Marineer.

- Dreamt I was punching my sister, and in my sleep I punched my cousin in the face irl.


Ah'll tell you little youngin's more of mah stories when I get back to Marizona tomorrow.
