Well, I guess it is time for another update here in the office. Seems every time that I update I say that it’s going to happen more often, but it just doesn’t seem to happen that way. Well, let’s get to the news.
The character of CD Lawrence is dead, at least for now. After a good run in the NWF, RPW and a not so successful run in the ICWF, I decided that having to sit down and write RP’s were getting to be just a little too much like work. So instead of killing the character more then I already had, I decided to stop. It’s a character that I’m sure that I will go back to in one medium or another eventually. I think the character is ripe for at least a book, so maybe I can get working on that. Maybe this new wireless keyboard and mouse will get some use after all ?
On the work front, I’m still slaving away at ICT. On the phones most of the time, but just spending enough time off the phones to make me keep my senses together. It’s getting to the point where I am enjoying the phones more as there seems to be more stress off the phones. The breaking point for a lot of people seems to be around the corner. I know what it looks like, because I was there. I think it was good news for a lot of people that I ended up taking two weeks off when I did.
Those two weeks I did nothing except watch TV and play Smackdown: Here comes the pain on my new PS2 (That arrived on my second day off, how’s that for timing). It was great not having to worry about the next absolutely idiotic piece of “brilliance” (/sarcasm) that was going to come from the office around the corner. Some people amaze me with their talent of walking upright with their head up their ass.
On the social scene, it’s been rather quiet as I’ve been working mornings at 6am so I can get out of there early. I figured if I still have to be there, the best thing for me is to get out of there as early in the day as I can so I have to spend the least amount of time with…never mind, I was getting off on a rant about work again.
Let’s try this again, shall we? The social scene has been a little quiet, as I’m spending as much time as possible trying to get some rest. Watching the Miramichi UPM Timberwolves has become almost a given when they are playing at home. It’s a great team this year, clinching the division title and heading to the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. It’s been a while since I was to the Opera House, before Christmas I think. It just dosen’t seem to have as much of a pull as it used to. Maybe it’s the crowd that gets in there on a Saturday night.
Speaking of crowds, I was at the Nickelback concert on Thursday night along with over 6,100 of my closest friends. It was one hell of a show with The Trews and Three Days Grace opening up. The 4-hour show was worth every penny that I paid for my tickets. That’s my one concert this year, but with a Great Big Sea tour expected in the fall, where they say that they will play any hockey rink. Bar or rec room that their equipment will fit into, maybe I’ll hit to concerts this year ?
CD’s I’ve actually bought lately include:
Great Big Sea- Something Beautiful* This is an album that takes a few listens to begin to understand, but it grows on you. Does it measure up to the greatness that are Up or Play? I don’t think so, but it goes on my list ahead of Turn, the CD that I consider to be the weakest of the GBS catalogue.
Five for Fighting- The Battle for Everything. More of the same for John Ondrasik, and there is not a thing wrong with that. “100 Years” was a good choice for a lead single.
Three Days Grace- Before seeing these guys in concert, I don’t think I’d of gone across the street to get this album. After seeing them in concert, I don’t think that the CD will leave my stereo for a while.
I’ve also got the Mick Foley DVD from amazon.ca and was impressed by the great WWF/WWE matches that were on it. However, I was a little disappointed by some of the choices that were made in the WCW/ECW matches. Where is the powerbomb match from WCW Saturday Night? The Funk/Cactus Jack Match from ECW when The Public Enemy got covered with chairs. I’m hoping for a volume 2
I managed to get a copy of the Monday Night Wars DVD from supernova. Without the extras, it is one of the best DVD’s they have come out with. The WWE was very fair when it came to WCW, which was a lot of what people were worried about.

Well, I guess that’s enough for now. Keep checking back, you never know when I’ll be back.

TheSmartMarks Forums -> Replying in Crash Holly passes away
First off and most important, RIP Crash, I always enjoyed the 24/7 and the super Heavyweight gimmicks.
Now, I've read through all the posts in this thread and have this to say.
Wrestlers get into this business to wrestle. If giving them two months off were to happen, all that would mean is some independents would have some great shows for those two months. Some would take the time off, but most would take the oppertunity to moake a few extra dollars. It's just not going to happen.
It's not Vince's fault that this is happening. You cannot watch that amount of people 24/7, as others have stated. It comes down to choices that people make. Vince is not standing over them throwing pills down their mouth or buying them a bottle of rum. If they choose to take those pills or have those drinks. It's on thier own head.
With Steroids, It's almost an occupational hazard, but as long as there are people who want to see the "super Human" bodies and people who are willing to do whatever it takes to get themselves there, they will be a problem. No one takes them without knowing what could/will happen. Once again, it's a choice.
Regulation is not going to help, commissions and inquirys are not going to matter. The only thing that is going to change what happens in this business that we all love is changing the type of people that decide to make thier living at it.

Another one of the people that i grew up watching has left.
I remember when I started watching pro wrestling, I bought a large amount of what were called the Apter Mags. Pro Wrestling Illustrated, The Wrestler and it's ilk. It's in these mags that I found out that there was more then WWF wrestling out there. The NWA, not as we know it today, was home to Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes and The Road Warriors.
When Hawk and Animal debuted in the WWF, I was thier biggest fan. Right up to their appearence on RAW a few weeks ago, I always thought that The Road Warriors is the greatest tag team of all time.
With the losses of Curt Henning, Freddie Blassie and, just a couple of days ago, Stu Hart, There must be a lot of happy fans in the sky.

Hello and welcome to yet another return to the wonderful world of Blogging by the man of a 1000 returns :) Hopefully this one will be for a while.
As if blogging coulden't any easier, Blogger has introduced Blog This!. It's a neat little Java script program that allows you to add things to the blog without actually going to the website. It drags and drops right in to the bookmark/Favorites file (depending if you're using Internet explorer or Netscape/Mozilla), and allows you to publish. It's a great little idea. As soon as I saw it I was all over it. I expect that you will be as well.
So what's been going on lately? Well, I've got a new job at ICT. I'm now an assistant trainer for the Aliant program. After a few uptraining classes; this past week was my first full class of new people; in combination with the head trainer. After a couple of days, I've been working on some special projects that are going to keep me out of the class for part of this go around; but it's a job that I really enjoy.
Other then work; there hasn't been much going on. Congratulations have to go out to Dana and Dave on their wedding. I did the music for the ceremony, and what a beautiful ceremony it was. One of the funny things of the event occured on thursday night at the rehersal dinner. We all went to the Rodd Miramichi for what turned out to be a wonderful supper. One of thier specialitys is Salmon with a "Miramichi tradition"; Boiled Mayonnaise. I found this a little strange, but never really thought about it until Jessica, sitting beside me; asked if I had ever hear of it. Turns out all of the locals never heard of this so called "Miramichi Tradition". Those that had it say it was very good.
Speaking of Jess, for those that don't know, She's moved home for a while, anyway. I was a little worried what it was going to be like when she came home, knowing that in the past, she had talked about not wanting to come back. After talking to her for a bit, she's happy to be home. That makes me really happy, as we've got to spend some time together the past couple of weeks, and I can say that I am very happy to have my best friend back on the 'chi :)!!
In a NWF update, I had taken a bit of a leave of absence a few months ago, but am now on the comeback trail. I have my first NWF match back this coming week at Insomnia, facing Jae and "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels. It's going to be a tough one, but I think the break did me some good, as I'm very happy with what I've come up with so far. You may want to check it out at Nightmare Wrestling
It's not the only e-fed action that CD Lawrence has been in lately as I have also entered RPW. With two shows, Razor and Spinebuster, it can be a demanding schedule. So far I've only appeared on Spinebuster, but this past week was rewared with a win in the main event to advance in a tournamant for the vacant Television title. I don't want to say it's easier, but with a 100 line limit, it does make things more manageable. To check out what CD Lawrence is up to lately, Check out the website. That's where I post the Rp's for RPW. I'll also be posting the RP's for the return in NWF soon as well. I really enjoy using this whole CD Lawrence character. Maybe somewhere down the line, it could be made into a book.
Speaking of books, work has begun again on the proposed book of woodstock stories. Myself, Dave L and Dave M are working on a few things. What spured this one on is the upcoming reunion of 20 years of Comm Arts students, taking place on Sept 27 and 28 in woodstock. I know a few people that I've spoken to are ready for it. It should be a good time. Any NBCC Communication Arts Grads that see this and want more information can check out the website Here. It's going to be a great time, so pass the word along.
That's about all the news for now, I'll be back soon. Question,comments or death threats can be sent to This address. If people I went to NBCC with see this, drop me a line. I'd like to know who's all going to be ready to party in September.
Thanks and LAter

After a Long...long...long absence, I have decided to return to the online world. That's right, just when you thought that it was safe to connect your computer to a phone line (or cable modem, you lucky bastards), Dok has returned. I honestly have been meaning to update this for a while, but sometimes real life gets in the way of this virtual world, so lets catch up, shall we
I'm still working at ICT as a "Internet Service Tech". IT's an interesting job that allows me to talk to some of the most idiotic people in the atlantic provinces. People, if it says "Name:", put your name there. The people are fun to work with, for the most part. Although if people would spend as much time doing thier job as they did bitching, they'd have nothing to bitch about. Lately, I've been spending sometime on the floor, as advanced support, which is interesting, but also shows me how much more I have to learn. Everyday there seems to teach me some more.
Work on the book has come to an utter and compete stop, and I'll take the blame for it. Time has been at a premium in the past little while and it seems to be the one thing that I can keep putting off. Hopefully, with the addition of Big Dave to the writing team, and a kick in the arse, delivered by anyone who's willing, will change that.
The past few months have been tougher on my psyche then I've been letting on. I just seem to be staying home more and more, as my circle of friends becomes smaller and smaller. Along with the fact that the bar scene isn't the draw that it used to be. Between people moving and just the fact that we're all moving into other things, the usual gang dosen't seem to get together anymore. Hell, I havn't seen my best friend since christmas, and it's no one's fault but my own, as thier's nothing that stops me from getting on a bus and going, but even the people that are still here, we never seem to see each other.I don't know if it's on purpose or if it's the fact that we're all looking for different things in different places, It's just weird.
This next part is going to be a little hard to write, but if I'm going to be honest, I guess I have to (if not just for the fact that I promised Dave the full story) New Year's started out just like so many house parties that I had attended at the Kenny's. I had some boones and some crown. Most of the gang was going to be there, and the band was playing. I went down, expecting nothing more then a great time. What I got was something that I think will change me.
Joined by the usual suspects, we were standing around when I noticed that one of John's (Jessica's brother, for those that don't know) friends was there. Jennifer, who I've met a few times, but hadn't really spoken to her before. I made the rounds saying hello to everyone, getting a hug from Jen, but I really didn't think much of it at the time, that sort of thing just happens at a house party.
As the night continued, Jennifer and I were spending more and more time together. I was surprized at this, as, while I had noticed Jen, I never though that she'd be interested in me. But as usual, subtlety to me is a ton of bricks to the head. As we were standing the question, she's standing in front of me, and I make what could have been the bonehead play of the year, I say "That we prob shouldn't be doing this" thinking that there was too much that could go wrong. She walks away that moment, and as she does, my mind is racing, thinking as to why I just said that. A few seconds later, I grab her hand and tell her that "I didn't mean that we should stop". That left us, after some conversatuation, in a relationship.
Now, anyone that knows me knows that i don't do anything half-assed, We both jumped in with both feet. And I can say that I had never been happier.
Where are we now? Jennifer and I are the best of friends, after realizing that things were moving way too fast and that we needed to know each other before we went any further. Will we get back together down the line? only time will tell that story. Do I regret getting involved? not in the least, Jennifer and I will always be together in one form or another, as friends or more, no one knows. I will admit that it took a little getting used to, but I'm now at peace with everything.
Now that that's out of the way :) How about an NWF update? I'm still in the horsemen as CD Lawrence, with Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit. My latest storyline had my wife "Crystal" being pregnant, and joining me on the road. In the Match that night, Me and my Tag team partner, Steve Williams lost the tag belts after an accidental kick to the face, when I return to the dressing room,I find my horsemen teammates tending to a bloody and beaten Crystal, who is taken to hospital. We later find out that the stress of the attack as well as the blood loss has caused Crystal to lose the baby. CD thinks that Williams attacked Crystal to get back for the superkick, leading to a match. After the match, we find out that a former Client of CD's, Infexion, was at fault. This led up to a match at the PPV, that I won after sending Infexion to the hospital. Who says wrestling isn't a male soap?
This all leads up to the return of John Q.Smith as the leader of the Syndicate, that happens to include former horsemen and CD running buddy, Gregory Maines. After this weeks Tag title match with Chris Benoit, the Syndicate begins to make it's run of terror, and we'll see what's happens...oh my god..we're out of time..tune in next week...oops sorry, Nitro Flashback.
Well, I think that I've said enough for now...drop me a line, and I promise it won't be 4 months before we talk again. LAter

What I got was something that I think will change me.
Joined by the usual suspects, we were standing around when I noticed that one of John's (Jessica's brother, for those that don't know) friends was there. Jennifer, who I've met a few times, but hadn't really spoken to her before. I made the rounds saying hello to everyone, getting a hug from Jen, but I really didn't think much of it at the time, that sort of thing just happens at a house party.
As the night continued, Jennifer and I were spending more and more time together. I was surprized at this, as, while I had noticed Jen, I never though that she'd be interested in me. But as usual, subtlety to me is a ton of bricks to the head. As we were standing the question, she's standing in front of me, and I make what could have been the bonehead play of the year, I say "That we prob shouldn't be doing this" thinking that there was too much that could go wrong. She walks away that moment, and as she does, my mind is racing, thinking as to why I just said that. A few seconds later, I grab her hand and tell her that "I didn't mean that we should stop". That left us, after some conversatuation, in a relationship.
Now, anyone that knows me knows that i don't do anything half-assed, We both jumped in with both feet. And I can say that I had never been happier.
Where are we now? Jennifer and I are the best of friends, after realizing that things were moving way too fast and that we needed to know each other before we went any further. Will we get back together down the line? only time will tell that story. Do I regret getting involved? not in the least, Jennifer and I will always be together in one form or another, as friends or more, no one knows. I will admit that it took a little getting used to, but I'm now at peace with everything.
Now that that's out of the way :) How about an NWF update? I'm still in the horsemen as CD Lawrence, with Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit. My latest storyline had my wife "Crystal" being pregnant, and joining me on the road. In the Match that night, Me and my Tag team partner, Steve Williams lost the tag belts after an accidental kick to the face, when I return to the dressing room,I find my horsemen teammates tending to a bloody and beaten Crystal, who is taken to hospital. We later find out that the stress of the attack as well as the blood loss has caused Crystal to lose the baby. CD thinks that Williams attacked Crystal to get back for the superkick, leading to a match. After the match, we find out that a former Client of CD's, Infexion, was at fault. This led up to a match at the PPV, that I won after sending Infexion to the hospital. Who says wrestling isn't a male soap?
This all leads up to the return of John Q.Smith as the leader of the Syndicate, that happens to include former horsemen and CD running buddy, Gregory Maines. After this weeks Tag title match with Chris Benoit, the Syndicate begins to make it's run of terror, and we'll see what's happens...oh my god..we're out of time..tune in next week...oops sorry, Nitro Flashback.
Well, I think that I've said enough for now...drop me a line, and I promise it won't be 4 months before we talk again. LAter

And we're back.
The Big news right now, is the birth of Dana and Dave's baby boy, Logan Alexander. Mother and Child are doing fine. And Grandfather Joe has the kid spoiled right....now
I did something I hadn't done in a while, if ever, saturday night. Hung out in a parking lot, namely the parking lot of the loggieville community center. They have this thing against bringing booze outside. So we all stood outside and drank. It was a good time, saw some people I hadn't seen in a while, and met some new people. by the way, I was there for a wedding party.
Wait a minute, my first two posts are babies and weddings. This ain't good
In the NWF, I am now a member of the 4horsemen along with Gregory Maines, Y2J and Jeff "Xtreme" Hardy as we team up to take on The Jury and the cWo. This week, I take on Doomsday. Should be good, I really like where my character is going.
Ah, that feels better
I know I shoulden't of promised a whole bunch of reviews if I wasn't going to deliver. but.
Lifehouse- Stanley Climbfall: It's ok, but don't run out and
buy it
Swollen Members- Monsters in the Closet: Run, fall, break an arm, leave the hospital and get this album
Crush- S/T- A nice pop-rock album, more good songs then great, and not a terrible one on the album
Books:
Tom Clancy- Red Rabbit: If you've read any of the other Jack Ryan books, and wondered about the past adventures, get this book. It takes a real life event and places some known characters in to it. and it may not be the event your thinking of
Dave Meltzer- Tributes: This is a must have for any wrestling fan. It's a compalotion(sp?) of obits of some of the greatest past wrestling stars, most of whom, sad to say, left us too early. The Owen Hart and Brian Pillman ones are worth the price in and of themselves.
Steve Murphy- Live at 5: This is the behind the camera stories of what has become an 5pm tradition on the east coast, told by a guy who's been there since the beginning. You can't read this book and not think about the people who have crossed the TV screens of maritimers the past 20 years.
DVD:
Triple H- The Game: I really enjoyed the program, except for the part about Triple H's bodybuilding, where they fail to meanton the needles sticking out of his ass. But it was a decent review of the time right around the wedding to Just after Wrestlemania 18. The Extras are good, as you get Triple H's debut match against Buck Zumoff (Who thought he'd get on a DVD?) The Royal Rumble street fight with Mick Foley (That you can watch with commentary from The Coach and Triple H or without) and what could be the best match of all time, Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat from 1989's Wrestlewar. One of those DVD's you don't buy for the dvd, just the extra's.
I have a feeling that the Hulk Still Rules and NWO dvd are going to be around the same, but the extras are so good I ordered them, along with SummerSlam 2002. So expect reviews of them soon

Well, well, well
Like a chip off the old block, Ol' Dok is back. With some random thoughts
-Two commercials I can't stand, one "This is the song that never ends" headache commercials. It was cool the first few times now it's just annoying. Second, the "I'm a bedwetter" ad that seems to run all the time. If you don't want to be called a bedwetter DON'T GO ON TELEVISION TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!
-The uproar that has been taking place around here about the alpine coolcaps promotion has me absolutly amazed at the stupidity of some people. It has been educational though. SEX sells beer, STOP THE FRICKIN Presses
-btw, in the Moncton Times this morning, they talk about the controversity, what's on the front page. a picture of MIss Fitness canada, couple of pages in. Her in a bikini. Not that I'm complaining
-before you read this next little rant, read Thisl
Now, What has been the issue in hollywood in the past few years? The lack of blacks in films. So there is this film with a total black cast, that's making 300% on the budget, and is getting good reviews. what do some do? Celebrate it. No, silly that would make sence, they pick apart every little thing with it to find something to be offended about. It's things like that that piss me off about these special intrest groups. they never see the good side of anything.
-The new job is going well, but I have said that second book is going to be called "I hate stupid People"
-speaking of books, We're working on the first one, I've got 3 chapters done on the first one, work on it has kind of fallen by the wayside lately, but I hope to get a little more done soon. (Dave ,if you're reading this, email me)
That's pretty much it for now, in the next little bit I 'm going to have reviews on Lifehouse''s new album and the New Swollen Members, a couple of book reviews and a DVD review. I hope.....

Well, Well, Well,
It's been an interesting week and a half since the last update, as I've begun work at ICT in the Aliant dial-up internet help desk department. There's 12 guys in the class, and we all seem to get along. For the first little bit, I thought that I was in a little over my head, but things have leveled out when we were interduced to the programs that we use to help people, I've got another week in the class, then a week on the floor before I start taking calls on my own. So if you have to call Alient Tech, It might be me you're talking too. Scary Thought, aint it :)
Thanks to Shawn for the kind words he had to say about me during his sign off on friday. They are the ones poorer for losing us, not the other way around
American Idol ends this week and I think that it's Kelly's to lose. unless there's a lot of 13 year old girls with auto-dialers. Big Brother is still a couple of weeks away form ending and I think it's a wide open race yet. Survivor starts on the 19th.
Guilty pleasure TV show: Gilmore Girls
After some confusion in the 24/7 thread, I am no longer the NWF Hardcore Champion. Tonight, the results will be posted for my first pay per view, where I meet 4 newcomers, Triple X, Road Dogg, 8-ball and Ironman. I think i've pulled out some of my best stuff this week. The winner of the Match is supposed to become the number 1 contender for the Hardcore Title, now held by Shade. I've also been asked to join forces with Shade in "Chaos", his Stable. I don't really know if I want to join a stable yet. or maybe I do want to know? :) Some will be answered tonight when the results go up.

Well, Well, Well
This day had started out so well. I woke up , went to Physio and was doing very well, in the gym lifting weights and on the treadmill and eurgobike. On the Way home, I thought I'd stop at the station to see what was going on. That started the whole downward spiral.
Going in to see Jim, I was told that my friend and co-worker, Shawn Williston, had been handed his walking papers effective the end of the month. For his part in this , check out his webpage here
After taking this all in, part of it being my boss's statement that he "wasn't going to be using me right now" made me even more concentrated on leaving this sinking ship.
When I get home, there is a message on my machine from ICT/Miramichi offering me an interview for 1:30 this afternoon. I go to the interview and after a few tests, am offered and accept a job with ICT in customer service in Alliant Internet Service provider.
Directly after leaving ICT, I go to the station and after speaking to Shawn and Jim, cleaned out my file cabinet and gave my key to the boss With the words "I'm Leaving Immedietly". Not a handshake, not a thank you for 3 years of service. Just a "It's your choice" as I'm walking out the door. my retort, "No it's not my choice to leave, it's my choice to stay, but your forcing me out" To which he says "no I'm not". The Conversation ended there as I said that he wasen't worth my time and left.
this wasen't just a one day thing. This has been coming for a while. Since I've been hurt, I have recieved nothing but silence and greef. I've been cleared for over 2 weeks and had yet to work a shift. I've been putting resume's into different call centers around the provence at the urging of my Mum and Jessica. Anything to get me out of this dead end job. and that's what it is.
Now a few thank you's:
-To Darren, Shawn and Paddy, people from who I've learned a lot about the radio business, and life in general. No matter how much shit was thrown on us, We always were able to laugh and have a good time. Willie, this could be the best thing to happen to you, it just may take a while to see it. Paddy, keep it running as long as possible, but ICT looks good too.
-To Jim, Someone who always has a kind word and gave me more thumbs up then anyone in the front office. Thank you for those. Guess this means that I can't work election night
-To Anne, Shirley & Jennifer, People may make more money, but I don't think that they ever had more fun that we had. The three of you are always welcome in to my home (and Anne and Jennifer, the beer's cold :) )
-To the ringmaster and the horse he rode in on, Karma's a bitch.
-To my listeners, not that a lot of you will ever read this. Thank you for allowing me to come in to your homes, cars and lives. You never know, maybe at some time, in some way, I'll be back.
There's people (Jason, Val, yes, even Ev) that have allowed me to enjoy most of my time with 790CFAN. Radio can be a funny business. If MBS is ever serious about having a quality radio station and not a big top that is a laughing stock, They can give me a call.
Have a great and safe one, Miramichi

Well...Well....Well.
More Random Thoughts:
-It was an interisting weekend in NWF land, as a 24-7 thread was posted, meaning that Shawn "Gregory Maines" hardcore title reign came to an end..as I made me NWF debut in the thread with 12 hardcore title reigns leading into "Insomnia" on wednesday night where I faced two others in a Three Way Dance for the number one contendership for the Hardcore Title. I lost that match when I got "24/7nd" by Maines. CD Lawrence (Me) got the last laugh as I punked him out later on to take my title back. It all leads to a match with "Dangerous" Danny Dudley at next week's "Insomnia". This is really doing the trick, getting the writing juices flowing.
-Don't waste your time with "Signs" It seems to be one of those movies people either love or hate and I'm the latter, with plot holes a mile wide and Aliens that look like a bad b movie.
-I've been using Mozilla for a while now. It's based on the Netscape browser (Which I've mostly liked). I've only had it crash once and that was when installing. One of the coolest parts of it is allowing you to look at more then one window in a browser window, using Tabs. Long download on a dial-up (Just about an hour) but really worth it. Get it here

***A Couple of days ago, I said I'd post my sample RP for the NWF, It's also my first RP in the Three way dance for next week's card***
(opens in a room, shown is only a chair, with a man looking very upset)
You think that you know. How could you know what I have gone through. The pain that I
feel when people throw one of their own to the gutter, never to be spoken of again, unless
it's thinking of the good old days when that bum on the corner was welcome at the dinner
table. Now he's not even worthy of the fifteen cents that you have in your pocket.
The people that spend thirty dollars on that dinner for two when they know that money
could bring so much to people with so little. The fish egg eating, starbucks drinking
plutocrats who want to move the (air-quotes)displaced people when some big event
comes to town to give the illusion that all is fine in our (sarcastically) perfect world.
(Lawrence becomes more and more frantic as he continues)
I'm sure by now, you think you've figured out who I am. You think that I am just an
angry drug addicted street person who you couldn’t be bothered with. You couldn’t be
more wrong. I was one of you. A rich lawyer, who billed hundreds of dollars an hour, did
the thirty dollar lunches and didn't lift my head when I passed the street people. Then, one
night, on my way home from the office. This drunk teenager comes up to me, claming that
I had stolen his girlfriend. I told him he had the wrong guy, but that didn't matter. He
stabbed me 10 times and left me for dead in the gutter. I laid there, waiting to die with
people, just like I had been passing by with their heads down whispering about what a
disgrace it was to their fine city to have people like me.....ME in the streets.
Then One of the Goddamn street people that I had ignored and hated, came and held my
hand while another got the attention of a police officer that got the ambulance to take me
to the hospital. It was then that I decided that I would make people like I had one time
been pay for their treatment of other people in this world.
(Lawrence calms down in the blink of an eye)
Who am I? I am your worst nightmare...I am you...I am a enforcer of I believe to be right.
I am CD Lawrence.
Let the Payment begin.

You think that you know. How could you know what I have gone through. The pain that I
feel when people throw one of their own to the gutter, never to be spoken of again, unless
it's thinking of the good old days when that bum on the corner was welcome at the dinner
table. Now he's not even worthy of the fifteen cents that you have in your pocket.
The people that spend thirty dollars on that dinner for two when they know that money
could bring so much to people with so little. The fish egg eating, starbucks drinking
