No Saint

My surname means ‘Many Saints’ 

I can tell you I’m a sinner

Walking the streets, hands stained red 

Consciousness tainted with pitiful screams

The city burns once more

Gangs pilfer and loot 

Hard to know whom to trust 

Is decency dead ? 

I’ll never know

I stare at the hallowed grave 

Knowing I’ll join the Saints soon 

For now, I’m King of Newark 

Barone of the Family 

I will always honor, love and obey

’Til my dyin’ day. 


In memory of Dicky and Chrissy

The Slo Mo, Voiceless Leader

  Synopsis: An AU/reboot of Sonic Underground, the third and final Sonic cartoon produced by DiC Entertainment. The "good" Robotnik from the episode "Six is a Crowd" meets the evil one. In a backstory, the three hedgehogs appear to come across the Oracle of Delphius (actually an evil clone created by the evil Robotnik) who forces Sonic to make a deal - his voice and speed in exchange for being with Sonic's beloved Amy Rose, whom Robotnik deceives Sonic into thinking he cannot marry, as he is a royal and she is a commoner. It is up to the good Robotnik, as well as the hedgehogs' (formerly evil counterparts) to help save Sonic. The royal firstborn blue hedgehog also figures out King Jules' and Queen Aleena's location at long last!   Dedicated to the true voice of Sonic, Jaleel White.

Synopsis: Continuing from "Pajama Party at the House of Mouse", Herman Norman "Pee-Wee Herman" Ruebens and his beloved, Yvonne Chambers, are finally getting married. “ L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see, V is very, very, extraordinary. You’re the one that I adore, no one could ever want you more.’--Lyrics from L-O-V-E as sung by the often imitated but never duplicated Nat King Cole “A life without love isn’t worth living. What’s life without love ? It’s a tree that bears no fruit. It’s sleeping without dreaming. At times, it’s the inability to sleep. It’s living one day after another waiting for the sun to shine into a room that’s completely painted black, where you know the key is but have no desire top open the door and go out.”--Karla, Hippie, Paulo Cohelo Chapter 1—The Most Romantic Wedding of All It was Yvonne Chambers, soon to be Ruebens, favorite day of the year. Ever since she had
