Legacy 029 -B-F’s Are Simple, Virgil-

2006 Days Without B III, Day 1447 of Virgil’s Arrival

Just Me, Baby B,
Did you have a good day? Good day? Mine? Can I get through one day? ONE! Without wishing to join you…

“It’s Been Awhile” since I’ve wished for “Just one more peaceful day.” Last one, Braxton?

Beats me. At least I’m not on the verge of jumping today. As a matter of fact, I had high hopes for today, and that’s with Wednesday’s paycheck? Are 2-V and I starving yet, B?

Effing Math! Sorry! I tell you to watch your barking language. What kind of father am I, B? Before I dream of your future potential stepmom and me… producing two-leggeds.

Virgil needs something to do… What? Didn’t I say he spends most of his days more terrified than me about to give my Old Man my report card. Or telling Ma about the garbage bill. The Simple Things involving “The Children of Men,” B III.

“Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away.
Just one more peaceful day.”
It’s Been Awhile, Staind

No wonder I dream of the simple things now. Like how many Pop Culture references: A song from “Stanid,” A song from Hey Arnold “Mr. Hyunh Goes Country,” and the book/movie The Children of Men. How I so need an apocalypse, dystopia, or both B.

Though “I’ve been sittin’ here tryin’ to find myself. I get behind myself, I need to rewind myself.” I’m so broke, I’m taking handout songs from the likes of MAGA. Eff Kid Rock too! I know B, Daddy is trying. And I’ve had a very gross thought about your stepmom.

Papi is trying… That’s what M Anime calls me. And your Favorite Girl too. Seriously!?

Let’s get serious. If I had been in school, I wouldn’t be in this situation.

What, situation? You know, I hate when people say things like Things could be worse.

Like me sitting on a loveseat with a sausage biscuit I “stole” from the Day Job, a cappuccino… It gave me an excuse to show my twig and berries to your stepmom. I know B III, Eww! But she did show me her yabbos. As Billie Jean would say, “Fair Is Fair!” B, how many movies did we sit here and watch together? Anyway, this isn’t a palace, B III.

“I’m not a smart man, but I know what love is.”

Forrest Gump (1994)

Forrest Gump? Really! Because that’s how I’m spending the day, wanting things as simple as some blue Wyler’s Italian Ices, popcorn movie theater butter… Essentials.

Complicated stuff is for the Magic Glasses, Breathing, Cash, Depression, Effery… B-F’s Are Simple, Virgil.

It feels like I’m dying. I’m so scared all the time.” ― Mara, Spontaneous (2020)

Always and Forever,

Legacy 022 -Colorblind Tanning B, V-

1999 Days Without B III, Day 1440 of Virgil’s Arrival

Just Me, Baby B,
Did you have a good day? Good Day? Mine? Let’s say these are the days I didn’t want to talk about.

Angry, Mad, Rage… They are actually the safe words, B. The Magic Glasses say Warning!

But today it was YouTube. It started off innocently enough. It was “I Hate Everyone”.

Weren’t we two peas in a pod, B? But I meant the Get Set Go song… And so today? Uh…

“Su$cide”. Same band, but all sorts of WARNINGS popped off like “The Long Walk” or “The Purge”. Now I know why you always chose violence? You fought for every second.

Not for yourself but for me. You were my Snoopy, my Spunky; how about Ghost?

Honestly, don’t I know any dogs of color? Seymour from the episode Jurassic Bark, Futurama. You’re waiting for me, Braxton. Only on the “Otherside”? “Otherworld”?

How much longer? Always? Forever?

“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”
Barenaked Ladies ‧ 2000

That’s how long I figured you live. At least long enough to be the protector of your brothers and sisters… The two-legged variety. But at the pace I’ve been going with your future potential stepmom… I still have to read everything she sent? Alpha? Manhood?

That’s her type, B. And I’ve been a whiny B$tch since… Tuesday, I believe. Dreams…

Please, I’ve dreamt worse things than Squid Game, The Middle East, and Nico Parker’s ass. Unlike MAGA, I’m all for DEI. Plus, I’m not trying to end up on a list like the Orange Felon in the White House. Be it Nicoletta Goldstein, Nico Parker, or Zoe Colletti, B III.

Speaking of fiction colliding with the real world, The Unfinished Archive today. World of Color?

Isn’t that Disney and me corrupting it, thinking of the harem schedule… The Sealed Flame Ritual, Melina, Judy, with M Anime optional. Or what about the 16 Episode Ecchi Anime Series Colorful (1999)? Wow! Anything to avoid putting down how I’m “feeling super, super, super REDACTED,” but you know the word B. Hell, you found me passed out on the floor trying to take you for a walk, and I was not some “Teen Idle.” But a fully functional adult? Your grandpa didn’t tan my hide and your grandma… Honestly.

Braxton, I’m sure she and you are very disappointed in me. Because what’s wrong, hmm?

Money, Mattress hoping, Medical, too many sad movies, unsellable manuscripts, Me breathing is too much, Braxton. Colorblind Tanning B, V

Legacy 015 -B A Piggy Virgil-

1992 Days Without B III, Day 1433 of Virgil’s Arrival

Just Me, Baby B,
Did you have a good day? Good day? It’ll be better when I put down my burger and fries, right, B?

For you, Braxton, a ‘special’ day was me stopping by the “Seafood and Chicken Box.”

When did they close down again? And there was that period right after you… LEFT.

Braxton, I was enamored with Buffalo Wild Wings. Was it because I visited that Saturday

The day before you LEFT? And what’s with all this talk of food? Do I hear myself, Braxton, hmm? What about seeing? I still need to make a visit to an optometrist, B III ha.

But that won’t make the three things I can’t stand looking at any better. BOY in the Mirror, my bank account, and your brother. Can’t I see Virgil for what he is? “He’s My Son.”

Only I’m being a meanie. I’ll be Mark Schultz soon…

“Pinch me, pinch me
‘Cause I’m still asleep
Please, God, tell me
That I’m still asleep.”
Barenaked Ladies ‧ 2000

Don’t be putting curses on my boy. My son. Yes, I see him B III. That’s part of the problem.

“We can’t afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It’s a do or die situation
We will be invincible”
Invincible, Pat Benatar

Really, so now I’m Pat Benatar? I sent that song to your potential future stepmom.

Honestly, talk about “Constant Craving.” But let’s stick with Virgil a little bit longer, B.

Or so I’m hoping? This morning, your brother and I were walking, and I was trying to get a picture of him. I saw his belly. I could see Virgil’s bones. Disgusted me, B III.

“Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man’s made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong”
Sixteen Tons, Tennessee Ernie Ford

However, it’s not his fault; it’s mine. Your brother isn’t starving. Vigil has food, always.

But how can he eat with a belly full of FEAR? Or does he crave something else? A father that gives a damn, perhaps, hmm?

M Anime thinks I’m doing the job well. She calls me her Papi. Same way your favorite girl does, B. I know, I know. Eww! Yes, your Daddy is a pig where women are concerned.

There was a certain redhead that had me looking for a golden baseball bat yesterday.

Speaking of yesterday, or more importantly, Tuesday. Worrying about your brother almost had me forget. Almost. And no, I don’t want to talk about the humiliations galore that I faced at “The Bad Place.” But how else do I expect to provide for her, your brother, and your two-legged siblings? Making M squeal. Like I can, dreaming about Burning Lava Wings and Cajun Cheese Fries, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell… Whatever. B A Piggy Virgil
