It was a cold day in March and the wind was blowing really hard. The trees blew so hard that it sounded like the roof was going to come off. I was so afraid that I peed on myself .I didn’t know what to do, I was at home alone. The kids were away at grandma house for the night I pop some popcorn and grab a beer out the icebox. When I heard a loud boom!!! I jumped up put my shoes on. And I called for Barbra, and she ran fast as she could with one leg. We flew down the stairs. I drop my can of cold beer and she grabs it for me. Because she loved beer too. We both ran out the door. And got into the car and we had no keys.so I went and climb in the window, and I saw more beer on the table, that we bought yesterday. And I look to see what the noise was and it was my cat.so I took the cat and went back to the car. Were my wife Barbra was waiting, and I went back and see if I could see my keys to the car and I grab them and we left and went to grandmas were the kids was. When we arrived grandma was in the back room smoking weed with the dog next door. I said grandma’ what is you doing smoking that stuff. Don’t you know you will get sick and catch lung cancer? She said I know my eye doctor said, I need to smoke much as my money will buy.by that time Barbra was already drunk and the cat had stolen the car with my last beer in the cooler. So I began to cry and the monkey came out the next room and put his arms around my neck. And he said to me what’s wrong pal, and I said my cat stole the car and my last beer was in the cooler. And I am so afraid he may wreck the car and end up in jail, for driving while drunk and the monkey said it will be alright. Last year I got pulled over while kissing grandma going 80 mph down the freeway. It cost me over $500.00 just to get grandma out of jail. Because she kissed the cops right on the lips and the cop. Wrote in his report she had monkey breath. And the judge got upset and put me in jail. 50 days of hard labor. So buddy life isn’t so bad. Just be thankful that grandma didn’t kiss you with that. Monkey breath and the man said to the monkey I guess you’re right. Let’s take your car down to the store, so we can get us another case of beer. While on the way down the street the fellow saw his car sitting on the side of the road. And he told the monkey to pull over, maybe he ran out of gas. So they did and when the man looked in the passager side window he seen. Mr. Billy goat. So he asks Mr. Goat where the cat ran off too. Mr. Goat replied baaa. And the monkey said what you said Mr. got and Mr. got said baaa, again now the monkey is confused. Why do Mr. Goat sounds like a sheep. So while the monkey was trying to make since of what just took place? The man beat Mr. Goat up and threw him out the car and drove away very fast. Now the monkey is scared because he can’t fight that well. And he knows that Mr. Goat know how to fight with his heels. So by the time the monkey could run. Here comes the cat with a six pack and three dogs. Looking for the car. The cat and the three dogs and Mr. Goat beat up the monkey. And they took the monkeys car, so they started out walking and he seen a police dog. Walk down the street so he flag down the police dog and said he wanted to make a report. Because the dogs and the cat and a Billy goat beat him up. And took his car, by now you are saying what kind of book is this. How can a cat, steal a car get a DWI while a monkey 3 dogs and a Billy goat. Get in to a fight. Well if you can step out your mind. Are shall I say, your body. And watch what your brain goes through all-day and most of the night. When you can’t sleep. Now the cast in the book are the thoughts in your mind.at night when you just can’t rest. Our mind gets drunk on images when we think too long, about people, places and things. If you were a drinker like I use to be. Then you know how it feels to be. Rejected by family and friends, only after when have lost control. Of our behavior the first thing we think is what did I do to them. And in most cases you haven’t done a thing to anyone. You just sent a warning are shall I say a signal that you’re going to be clowning. In a few more drinks. When we drink we put fear in others. Because they don’t want to be involved in anything that might send them to jail. Is mess with what they are doing? Most uncontrolled able drinkers have one thing in common. We do stupid things that are not funny at all. Then the next day we find out we did some things. We can’t remember doing. Like driving home on the wrong side of the streets. Are getting beat down by friends are strangers, and hopefully we didn’t kill anybody. When we drink are use drugs we kill our brain cells. And depending what age we began drinking to how many cells die in our brain. If we started drinking as teens. Then by the time we reach the age 50 our minds are so messed up. We forget stuff our anger is more out of control. We can’t get a good job. Because we can’t remember things long enough to pass any job related tests. Are having high blood and sugar. That the shakes so bad you’re lucky you can still drive a car. I have seen people so messed up that they look 25 years older than they really are. Now the story is about a man who drinks so much that he sees things. And really he talks to himself. Before the storm came he was home watching TV and when the wind stared to blow he became afraid. And in a rush he left his keys in the house. And he was not looking at what, he was doing he drop his beer and his wife. Caught it so it doesn’t be a big fight later on. Because when he drinks he beats his wife and kids. So that the kids can be spared from the hell. They spend the week INS over to grandma house. This happens a lot in homes, where there is a drinker in the home. Our kids suffer more than anyone because they can’t deal with the stress. And their little minds think mommy and daddy don’t love them. The monkey is the part of the mind that lies to us. And make excuses for what we do.it always tell another kind of story that makes everyone else problem worse then there’s. Just like the monkey said he got pulled over and grandma kissed the police. Making grandma worse than he is. And if you notice the man saw grandma smoking weed. You see drinking makes us see things that’s false. Now we all know that Billy goats don’t sound like sheep and cats and dogs can’t drive. Neither do monkeys have their own cars either. You see drinking cause us to lie so that we can drink more. We always say I can stop when I get ready. And some of that part is true. But the flip side of it. Can we stay stopped? Doing my years of a drinker I found out that I was just like everyone else. I just could not stay sober for more than three days at a time. When I ranked I ended up smoking crack cocaine then more. Trouble came my way. Like stealing from the ones who I loved the most. Then jail time next thing I knew I had a history with the courts. Years later I am sober but what I did in my past stills come back to hunt me. I can’t get the jobs that pay the most because no one wants to hire a Criminal. So now I have to take jobs. That pays the less. What these kids today don’t realize the things they do in grade school. Can stop them from going to the best collages. Are scholarships. They don’t think about all the write ups they get on the bus going and coming from school. As soon as they get into high school the grade school paper work stays in their files. And soon as trouble comes. The head man looks backwards in their life and will some time kick them out of school. They don’t have a G.E.D are high school diploma. Now they become a drug addict are a drunk. And many times they don’t recover. And they end up jobless and living on the streets sharing food with the dogs. Life is hard everyone don’t get the second chance, the get that one time shot. And if they mess that up early in life that’s it for them. Going up in a small black poor town. I see them come and I see them go. The grave yard is running out of room. The best thing is now if you’re younger than 18 years old. Do everything you can to stay in school. Eat right work the small jobs that come your way until. You’re able to write your own ticket in life. Yes you might have to put up with momma because you live in her house. But I tell you this in the long run it will be worth it. Stay away from sex doesn’t have any babies enjoy your life being free. Save your money so when you get out of collage you won’t be in debt. Don’t be in any hurry to buy a new car. Enjoy the bus are a bike. Life is going to be hard enough so don’t rush it. And don’t let any of your buddies tell you sex feels great. Because they lie. Once you get that very first climax the second one is nothing more than a junkie trying to reach his peak. A lot comes with sex. Like aids and all that comes with it like heartaches. Baby’s fights broken hearts and much time death because somebody don’t want break loose from the other. Somebody end up dying. When I was age 16 I did everything I knew to get me a job because I wanted my own money. Selling dope wasn’t on my list, but go doing eight hour was the only thing on my mind. I just hope whoever you may be keep your life in tacked stay in school and don’t be any fool…
