A Line of Business

Tonight I sit down with my laptop reflecting on the Life I have so far Lived, I am wealthy, I am talented, and I am by all means Gods greatest gift to the world today. Some say I have had a silver spoon up my ass, while others fear the power that they all presume I have with my name. I come from Old Money, My great Grandfather helped settle Carcosa, the very first Bank and Loan company in Carcosa was founded by him. Now He never really wanted to rip people off, but greed got the best of him, he was making money from the interest off the loans, and when he had to foreclose the loan, he was able to sell the repossessed land, property, homes, for triple what he got them for. The bank was a Money factory for him, and he was able to keep up his good image by giving back to the community occasionally. But anyways the foundation was started by my grandfather for our legacy here in Carcosa, our name, our footprint will forever be imprinted in Carcosa. So anyways I was sent off to the young men?s Prep School on the Island, and I grew up on the Island. Funny how my family always worked, there had been only one son born each Generation, so that son would traditionally have the estate passed down to him upon succession of the father before that. Dads still alive so I am waiting to move into the Mansion.

Growing Up with Expatations

But enough of my personal family history, you are probably wondering who is this man typing up the words on this laptop, well I am like I said earlier the Greatest gift god has ever placed on the world. As I was saying I went to a Private Prep School where I was in and Out of trouble the entire time, I don?t think I would of ever passed school, but there was a new Wing built that seemed to keep me in the prep school, you see I learned here that no matter what happened Dad was trying to groom his son to take over the family legacy, and that I pretty much had free reign to do what ever I wished, or so I thought. In prep school I excelled in areas of Math, and English, but no matter what I ever did I was always scrutinized by Dad that I could be better in Science, I could do better in other classes, I could be a bigger star, if it wasn?t one thing it was always another, Dad expected Perfection out of me and if I didn?t meet his expectations than I would feel his wrath. You see Dad road the coattails of the family, he was groomed as I was to be the next heir, to be the one to continue our name in Carcosa. Well I was somewhat of a standout in sports, If I weren?t in a Private Prep school, I would of probably gone all American, if I focused more time on football I would of defiantly been one of the greats, but no a career in football is not good enough for me, is not what the family wants out of me.

First Fling

Carmen was one of the first women that I was with, I went to the movies with some friends and saw her at the counter taking orders for peoples popcorn, we started hanging out, each night taking my car for a cruse, heading out making out she was my first of many flings, I honestly thought I loved her, but once Dad met her and found out who her family was, you see Carmen was from a Poor white family, Dad told me I don?t need to be hanging out with people like that due to the bad breeding, that I should find me a good girl here on the island to start hanging around with, that I am too important to be hanging around with the common people of the city, Oh did I hate that, I hated the fucking Island I really did more time spent on the land was what I preferred, to go to Hanover, where I was never appeared, I was the Prep from Rat Island.

Metal and Music

But during these years is where I found my true first love, Metal I was listening to a lot of different bands, from Slipnot, to Cradle of Filth and everything between and before, I picked up my first fender for 600 and started teaching myself to play, thank you Prep school for making me be creative with classical music, it taught me a lot about music, and when I picked up my first Fender, I sounded like shit Ill admit that, but now days I rock pretty hard, anyways after a month I had my keys taken from me, Dad really didn?t like me hanging out on the main land, I was supposedly better than that, I have a name to live up to.

Double Lives Different Standards

So now I am living a double life, one life in the view of mom and dad, where I am the new heir, the next step in the line, the next big name in Carcosa, although I already made a huge name for myself, the other life is out on the mainland, where I hit the harder clubs, where I teach myself how to shred, where I teach myself how to capture an audience and how to keep people in the circle around me, I graduate Prep School and am getting sent to the University to get a degree in Business as well as a Law degree, Dad wanted me to be prepared to run the bank and be able to read over the legality of anything I do so I don?t ruin the reputation of the bank, and of the family, Fat chance of that happening. Anyways in Collage I have a bit more freedom, well at least I think I do, I go to my classes during the Day and than during the night I go and rock out with some friends, we are starting a garage band that I am funding with my trust fund to get all the amps, speakers, everything for and starting everything off. Our first real show was two years ago, during my sophomore year in collage, we got paid 200 each and everyone else thought that was great money, me on the other hand the Prep from the Island the one that has a whole life of money in front of him.

Fall From Grace

Well we kept doing our thing with the band keeping everything going the same direction, we weren?t the type of band that fought all the time about creative differences, I funded everything, I shredded like a god, and I could sing, they all followed my lead and we did really thrash. The only problem everyone else but me saw this as Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll, I seen everything else as a way to make some money on my own get out from under the name that I lived under my whole life, and show Dad that His son doesn?t need his rule, his help to make it, to become bigger than Carcosa itself. I went ahead and seen the biggest way that I could piss Dad off, I went ahead and had a Vasectomy just to end the line to be the last male to carry on the family, To show dad that the family is nothing, that everything worked so hard for was so fragile, I know it was just in spite but it felt so good to see the look on his face as I broke the news to him, it felt good to look at him knowing that finally his son got one over on him, but what is he going to do Nothing, I will get everything when he dies, no matter what, I might have been cut off now, I might not be getting my school paid for, I might be living in Hanover now, but I got my band, my fans, and the worship me, the see me as no longer the prep from The Island, I am now someone that they think is one of them, its getting close to erupting, and life is going to be good going on tour, being signed, but I wont blow the money like everyone else normally does, I will make my own fortune and when Dad finally croaks I will get his too. I got what I needed out of Collage, I got my Ivy League Prep school, so I have an education that only others could dream of, but no everything that I have done was to get back at dad for all those years of not being good enough, not being the son that he wanted me to be, not being the perfect kid?

Embrace

Well I gotta go, I got a meeting with someone who might be able to further our career, some big shot that looks to have a lot of cash that might be able to help get us recognized, no one can look at me and be able to turn me down, the see that I truly am the best out there, that no one can even come close to matching my skills, and can do more than I can do, I really am gods gift to this world. (ooc more to come)
