I was tired. I was exhausted. I just wanted peace and quiet. Some times, you don't always get what you want. Instead of shooing Max out the door and on his way back to the friend's, he became a nuisance. He never picked up his cell phone so his ring tone would continue to play over and over again. The music would never die. I wanted to take a sledgehammer and smash that contraption into a million pieces. I was only tying to get some rest and relaxation but Max was a different being, maybe from another planet. Every single second, he seemed to be bouncing off walls, running back and forth like he was training for the Boston Marathon. He was too hyper and just a mere hours ago, he wanted to be light years away from me. But how his mood changes in a heartbeat. There is a blessing in disguise though. I might have never meant this child if I didn't take a day off from work. He might be annoying, he might get on my nerves just a tad bit and he would have a normal life with his friends trying to knock out their opponents everytime they touched the ball trying to cause a concussion. I wouldn't have so much to worry about either.
I'm not saying he would have led that path within a few years but you never know. Max could have fallen into the wrong crowd, lose his friends and in a few years drown his sorrows with the newest fad in alcohol. But he's safe now. He's avoiding the peer pressure but that's not the worst of my problems. He feels like I'm a father figure to him. He stays in my locker room for half the day. Max even brought over movies to watch on my wide screen television set. Couldn't he have watched them at his friends and not make me fall asleep by this worthless piece of crap that has a horrible storyline to it.
Alex: It's getting late Max. You should head back to your apartment now.
Max: But I'm not done watching my movies.
Alex: Can't you watch them at your house?
Max: Then that means you can't enjoy the entertainment too.
Alex: I don't reall...
Max: Don't tell me you don't want to watch these great movies?
Alex: I can't say I'm overly entuiashed.
Max hands me a collection of his movies. Most of them I had never even heard of. That doesn't say much because I don't sit down and spend hours on end watching movies so I can waste my life away. Tron? What on Earth is that movie? Planet of the Apes? It looks like it was made in the 1960s? Fast and the Furious? Great. A movie about racing. I would love to spend two hours watching two cars drive side by side. Yeah, I think that one would put me to sleep. I kept rummaging through the movies but each of them was just plain Hollywood movies that everybody seems to enjoy but I let out a yawn before I finally handed the collection back to Max.
Max: Do you want to watch any of them?
Alex: Not really.
Max: Which one do you want to watch?
Alex: None of them.
Max: This one?
Alex: No.
Max: How about this one?
Alex: No.
Max: I know, this one!
And Max took the DVD disc and tossed it directly towards my chest. It took me off guard for a second before I regained my composure. I looked down at the box and the first thing I noticed was a girl floating in mid-air. She was facing a creature with only eyeballs scaring at her and he had a scarred face. Beside the woman stood three other individuals with weapons in their hand. It seemed like they were ready to do battle with a set of eyeballs. Wow, this movie does not look thrilling.
Alex: Can we skip this one?
Max: This is my favorite movie of all time. You have to watch it with me.
Alex: But those four people are going to fight a set of eyeballs in space?
Max: No, that's just the box cover. They fight the demon in their dreams.
And that didn't really help the situation either. Was this movie supposed to be that good? I suppose it's a horror movie considering the tag line. "If you think you'll get out alive, you must be dreaming." I wonder what the back story to the villain character is? Is he a rapist? And they would allow children to watch this movie. That would scar them for life. I'll sit back, drink my chocolate milk and eat my ceasar salad and we'll back while watching this horrid take on a serial killer.
ONE HOUR LATER
I couldn't take it anymore. I had to shut off the movie. Scene by scene, it became worse and worse. The blood and the pain inflicted on each victim was just too much for my perfect lifestyle to take in. At one moment during a scene, I felt nauseous. I needed to run to the bathroom and I didn't come back to watch the remainder of the film.
Max: That was a cool scene.
Alex: You mean the one where Freddy grabbed that chick's head and smashed her into the television set?
Max: No, not that one.
Alex: Oh, the one where you uses that one character as a marionette and he falls to his death while his friends look on?
Max: Yeah, that one.
Alex: You're a sick kid.
The unbelievable resort to violence that this movie takes is incredible. That is why this world is corrupted with serial killers, bank robbers and the like. Instead of hoping for good to prevail over evil, we root for the villain. The world wants to see the main characters killed off in a brutal, yet satisfying fashion. Some sick twisted souls even wish they were the serial killer. They reenact scenes from the movies and ultimately murder their loved ones because the movie told them too. But yet, nothing is done about me. We live our daily lives like nothing has ever happened while it continues and keeps continuing until somebody takes a stand.
Begging the world to be brutal is not right. We should not live in a world where it is okay to pretend to be a serial killers that hunts his victims in their dreams. Begging the world to be sadistic is not something anybody should be proud of. If everybody lived the perfect lifestyle, if everybody lived the way I feel we should all live, none of this would ever happen. We would all live in perfect harmony. I know it's true, you know it's true, the people at home knows it's true. I am the only one who makes sense these days. Everybody else only cares about themselves, while I am trying to make the world better but people still choose to ignore me. They seem to be satisfied with their mundane lives but in reality, they are. But they would be if they were like myself, Alex Bankmanship.
But others only laugh at the thought of being like me. They feel that they would lose control over their mind, body and soul. They feel that they would no longer have emotion and be walking, talking zombie. Do I look like a zombie? Am I walking and grunting while looking for the next carcass I can feed upon? I'm a free spirit but it's the way I choose to live that makes me superior to each and every one of you. You wouldn't turn into a zombie, you could still live your own life but you would have a set of rules to abide by. Most of you don't enjoy that. Some of you look at the rulebook and slam the sucker down before you even read one page. Whether it's your thick skulls or your big hearts, it doesn't matter to me. You're still missing on something that you need to take part in.
I have apparently been sidetracked for a couple of minutes because my opponent for for Payback are wondering when I'm going to mention him? Should I even waste my breath on them? My energy could be spent somewhere else, somewhere better than on my opponents. I could be out swimming laps at the recreation center or lifting weights at the local gym. Any of that is better than spending time on this heart-warmed individual who undoubtly would give his left foot for his main squeeze.
Did you enjoy the movie? Oh wait, that's right, you didn't get to watch the movie? You didn't miss much. I was throughly bored with each scene. None of them could catch my attention. None of them blew me away. I sat in my chair wondering when the movie would finally be over. But maybe I'm getting on your bad side. Perhaps, you enjoy said movie. Perhaps when you were younger, you begged your parents to buy you razor sharped gloves so you become pretend to be Freddy Krueger. You had a ball with your friends because you were doing something you all enjoyed.
That is why I can't dignify myself to even stand up next to you when we meet in the squared circle. You should hide behind your cloak more often because you positively make me mad. There is no justice in this world for people like you. The people that feel like biding their time and thinking the world is going to hand them something magical on a silver platter. Is that why your girlfriend is still with you? Because she bought your line of saying that a shooting star would appear in a few years and then you will everything you ever dreamed of? What he didn't tell you was your dreams were false and the nightmare will start to commence.
Because you see, I don't wait for something marvelous to happen to me. I go out and I seek eternal greatness by myself. That's another rule that I live by. Take the driver's seat when you know that you accomplish whatever your heart desires. When you sit back and wait, you become lazy. Then when the situation finally arrives, you're not ready. You put if off for a day or two, then it becomes a week or two, then a month or two and evantually you forget your goals. You forget what you wanted to accomplish and that my foe is why you will never succeed in life.
Max: Can we finishing watching the movie?
Alex: That would be a terrible idea.
Max: Maybe tomorrow, ay?
Alex: Tomorrow is not good.
Max: Then the next day?
Alex: I'm busy for the next week. I'll call when you can come back.
Max: I'll be waiting for it.
I can't believe he finally left. What he doesn't' know is by this time next week, I'll be back to work at my headquarters and he'll have no idea on how to find me.
I hope he comes back to the apartment after I'm gone and finds that nobody is here. Does that make me a bad person? I know I'm not a bad person because I believe I am the only right thing left in this world. You have everybody and their mother doing whatever they want. They never second guess themselves because if a man wants to cheat on his wife, he should be allowed to. Like everybody always says, this is America and this is a free country. We have freedom of speech that allows for anybody to take advantage of it and you could badmouth a 100-year old woman and there's not a thing anybody can do about it.
You hear me Gage Gannon, Switches, Mr. FPV and especially you Chris Avery, there's not a thing anybody can do about badmouthing a 100-year old woman. Do you think that's right? Would you feel that way if somebody walked up to your tramp stamped girlfriend and started looking her up and down as she walked by. Then he tried to make sexual advances on her? You know like they say. This is America and it's a free country. I can look and touch as I please.
But that would boil you up inside. You know that you would not allow a single hair on her head be harmed. You would punch that guy right in the face but that would just make you like everybody else in this god forsaken world. You would go the depths of hell and enjoying bathing in blood with the devil himself. You can tell me all you want about how we're made to meet dead center in the wrestling ring because we're all the same and we're ready for an athletic competition but I
don't believe a single word that you spout out. Others might but I look past thse men because they lie to me and that's a fatal mistake.
We are not the same, not one bit. We never will be because what I bring to the table is the truth. I train each and every day to become the best in the world. I don't sit around eating and fantasizing about being the world's greatest athlete. I set out and I do it. I then lay my claim inside the squared circle. I can take a punch, I can take a kick. It might sting a little but you must get through the pain to become successful.
Ask Jonny the Fly how tough I am. He came to the arena thinking that he basically had a night off from his every day work. His condifence was sky high and that's why he took me lightly. He didn't have a care in the world because he thought he has the situation well under control. One mistake and it could have been alll over. None of you will see it coming and within a blink of an eye, the difference will be made. Be ready because I will strike when I'm ready.
I'll make my prescence known when I'm good and ready. I don't need to step up my game because there is hardly any competition to be found. Some pretend to be a perfect example of a warrior set to do battle. But none can hold a candle to what I'm able to. I'm better than the rest. It's not only because of the way I choose to live my way. Yeah that does have to do with much of my success. But besides that, I'm not torn between the fans accepting me or booing me back out of the arena. I could care less if I would draw a reaction out of those pathetic excuse for human beings. They only want to see me bleed and I will not give them that satisfaction. I will not sacrifice my own well being so those fans can get their moneys worth. They can go to a strip club, get a lapdance and be fine and dandy but I do not want them to come to my profession and wish that I would go through a flaming table.
My work is my salvation. Nobody is going to take that away from me. Learn to love what I have to say because it is never going to change. This is who I am and if you can't respect the fact that I am better than you in every single way, then there will be no hope for you. And come Payback, you will meet your inevitable doom and there will be no turning back because you will come face to face with the absolute perfect human being and his name is ALEX BANKMANSHIP!
The scene then fades to black.
I'm not saying he would have led that path within a few years but you never know.
