Ground Zero

Ground Zero
By Tony Brunelle

Silently I sit. She looks over but not at me. I don't know if she saw me looking at her. I walk over and in a calm voice i say,"hey, how are you?" she of course smiles and says "im doing pretty good, how about you?" i say,"Oh I'm alright." Then i ask in a suave voice,"what are you doing this friday night?" she says,"i dont know really i dont have plans." I say well would you wanna catch some dinner and a movie?" she says,"i would like that." Then she smiles. Her smile reminds me of my first second grade crush. The nostalgia her smile triggers amazes me. I say,"Does 7:00 sound good?" She says,"that sounds fantastic." At this point i am still calm and collected mind you. Thats when i say,"alright i'll talk to you then." Then a quick laugh, and i walk away triumphantly. I am amazed at what just happened and the feeling of confidence and happiness overwhelms me. Sadly in the distand i hear something calling me. "brunelle. Brunelle. BRUNELLE!" I suddenly jump from my seat. Mr. Larson says "Mr. Brunelle, sleeping is for the night." Everyone is not laughing at this comical situation. I return to my seat. Damn it! There she sits quietly working on her assignment. She is back to not noticing me taking glances at her as i silently sit. Back to ground zero once again.

Heat Lamp Fever

Heat Lamp Fever
by Tony Brunelle

Stepped out on stage wondering who is in the darkness below. Not caring he hit the chord with extreme intensity. Everyone screaming before the song started. Confusion was what made him look down. “OH MY LORD WHERE ARE MY PANTS?” As he stepped on stage, into a dream, wondering who was in the darkness below.

"As one sits and waits for something to happen, i too sat and waiting for you to call, well i waited to long and i thought hey maybe i should call you, but by then you were already gone, its friday night, i wanted to go out, i didnt wanna go to no show, i didnt wanna cruise main street, i didnt wanna go to no disco, woah woah i just wanted you to come over, sit on my couch and hold me tight, but you went out with some dumb jock and left me alone with my skateboard tonight"

-Memphis by Rancid

These are all lyrical clips from songs i highly recommend anyone who wants some new tunes to listen to on your commute home today, tomorrow, or any other day for that matter. In today's society of music. Everyone is getting more generic. I say lets go back to expirimentation. However you feel about such issue, i agree haha well have a nice day

The Basement

The Basement
by Tony Brunelle

From the crap-filled lawn
to that oh so uncomfortable house
I hate
Hate!
HATE!
that dingy basement
from the movies you watch
to the girls with their biased
opinionated uncouth girls
who had the gall to tell me
that my opinion is a farce
and how you all shunned my best friend
for a crime he did not commit
I will burn that house to the ground
put bombs in that basement
watch it implode and you’d never hear
the sound

p.s. then where will you go everyday?
