FROM THE HANDS OF BIG BEN
So the next time you see me, know that I’m still a kid at heart. Know that I have a purpose. And know that my life has been rewarded with the people I’ve met, the places I’ve traveled to, and the TV shows, commercials and books I have fondly and joyously created.
What I’m about to tell you is the one single event that defines my life. The one event I will remember more than any other and so will everybody else.
Panorama Towers was once the coolest, hippest condo complex in Las Vegas.
Leonardo DiCaprio had a condo there. Well, he actually never slept in a condo there, he was given one by the builders in exchange for the use of his name to promote the condo.
A lot of world rated poker players also lived at Panorama. In fact, one poker player was murdered by his wife there. She escaped to California but was caught and brought back to Las Vegas for trial and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.
When asked what type of demographics could be found at Panorama, one full time resident said, “You have everybody you want here from neurosurgeons to hookers. What more could you ask for?”
“Every Wednesday I would take a kickboxing class, and I was getting good at it,” she said. “I have long legs, so I can reach high with them, enough to kick someone in the face or head and probably knock them out.”
Do I ever get tired or bored about making a kill? Not really. It’s an addiction, I’ll admit, so I’m not sure if I can control it to the point of stopping completely. But I do recognize that what starts as a desire turns into a compulsion. I don’t feel I have to do the kill. But I want to do it so much that I can almost taste the blood.
An original song:
“The Arena is Only Half Full
The Fans Are Only Half Aware
The Beer Lines are Long, the Bathroom Lines Longer
They Don’t Care
We’re an Afterthought.
We’re Just the Opening Act.”
Do you know what happens when a beautiful road or highway gets hit by extreme elements? It breaks down over time and gets dangerously damaged. It’s the same with your body. The elements break down your immune system and you get sick.
