“…Ask Me What I Want… Easy That’s Just More… How Long Will I Wait For You… Twice As Long As I Did Before…” –DAVE GAHAN (“Dirty Sticky Floors” (2003))
“…Standing In The Freezing Snow…
…Maybe You Left…
…I Just Don’t Know…
…I’ll Soon Be Lying On My Own…
…On Some DIRTY STICKY FLOOR. …”
“DIRTY STICKY FLOORS” Is The Lead Track On DAVE GAHAN‘s 2003 Debut Solo Album “PAPER MONSTERS” !!!

First-Off…
…I’m Am HUGELY IN LOVE With…
“DIRTY STICKY FLOORS“
by DAVE GAHAN
(aka "The Front-Man For DEPECHE MODE")
…And I Have No Issues With Showing It!!!
It’s A Phenomenal Little Number…
…And A Helluva Solo Debut Song!!!
It’s Exceptionally Memorable To Me For A Lot Of Reasons…
…Some Of Which I Can’t Touch-Upon Simply Because I Don’t Know How I’d Put It Into Words.
When This Album Debuted In 2003…
…Sheesh…
…What Can I Say?!?
2003 Was A Wildly Wild Wild WILD Year In My World.
And That’s Putting It Mildly Mild Mild MILD.
No Foolies, My Peeps.
2003 Saw An Ending To A Great Many Things For Me.
It Also Bore Some Of The Greatest Experiences Of My Meager Existence.
It’s Just So Personal.
I’m Struggling To Be Ambiguous…
…And Whishy-Washy…
…And Fog’ishly Foggy.
Relationship Bridges Burned.
Professional Bridges Burned.
I Blew Up The Friggin’ Engine In My Car.
But Only AFTER I’d Driven To Florida And Back With My Best Friend.
In Fact…
…He Was With Me When I Blew-Up The Engine A Few Weeks Later.
BUT…
…Getting To My Point…
…2003 Was The Year Of The Parties.
I Awoke Upon A Few Floors That Year.
But That Was Usually Because The Bed And Couch Was Already Occupied By Someone Worse-Off Than Myself.
So I Personally Justified Sleeping On The Floor…
…At Least…
…To Myself.
Before I Was A Hermit…
…I Was…
…Hmm…
…Very Much NOT A Hermit?
We’ll Go With “Very Much NOT A Hermit” In This Situation.
In Fact…
…I Was Your Classic…
…”Couch Cruiser”…
…Fo SHO.
But…
…Occasionally…
…The Floor Was Where I Found Myself In The Morning.
Though, I Only Recall One That Was Sticky.
The Rest Were All…
…Hmm…
…Linty?!
Goin’ With “Linty” Here.
😉
Well Not Everyone Had A Floor Upon Which There Was Potential For “Stickiness” And Such.
Most People Still Had Carpet Everywhere.
Some Even In The Head!
(Read "The Head" As "The Bathroom" In This Instance.)
Sheesh.
I’m Just Glad To Know I Wasn’t The Only One Going Through Some Of What I Was Going Through.
It Sure Didn’t Feel That Way Then…
…BUT…
…In Retrospect…
…I Think There Were Plenty Of Other Peeps Going Through The Bulk Of It All With Me.
Those People Are All Gone Now.
Save My Best Friend.
And He Just Doesn’t Live ’round Here, Anymore.
Probably A Smart Move On His Part, Fo SHO.
😐
“DIRTY STICKY FLOORS“
…Is An Homage To A Party-Past.
I Know Dear Ole…
DAVE GAHAN
…Is A Former Party PROFESSIONAL, And HOW!
So I’m Very Proud Of Him For Writing This One.
It Offers-Up A Glimpse Into Something Most People Would Just Rather Forget.
It Makes Me Smile For That Very Reason.
And For A Few Others, Fo SHO.
But That’s A Whole Other Bloggin’ing I’ll Have To Work-On At Some Point.
For Now…
…I’ll Just Leave You With Your Thoughts…
…And…
“DIRTY STICKY FLOORS“
!!! !!!! !!!

“A SCENE Of HORROR” by Bradley Alan (Rated “R”)
Alright, My Peeps.
This Is A Tinkered-With Version Of Something I’d Written About A Decade Ago.
In 2003, Actually.
The Tinkering Part Is An Expansion Of The Setting Of The Scene.
The Actual Parts Of The People In The Scene Haven’t Been Much Tinkered-With At All.
I’ll Warn You Now…
…My Dream Of Writing, Especially When Thinking About Potential Movie Scenes, Or Screenplays, Etc, Has NEVER Been Geared Toward The Goal Of One-Day Winning An Academy Award.
Actually…
…I Never Considered Winning Any Awards For It.
I Wanted To Write “B-MOVIES“…
…Ya Know…
…More Like A “SYFY CHANNEL ORIGINAL” Type Of Film.
I’m Not So Good When It Comes To Dramatic Writing…
…Nor Really Comedy Writing, Either.
BUT…
…Boy, Oh Boy, Can I Write Some Quality CHEESE!
This Piece…
“A SCENE Of HORROR“
by Bradley Alan
…Is Exactly That.
It Was Written To, Hopefully, One Day Be Expanded To The Point Of Having An Entire Screenplay.
A CHEESE LADEN SCREENPLAY!
😀
It Really Is…
…(RATED “R“)…
…So If You’re Easily Offended By Harsh Language, I Doubt You’ll Like It So Much.
Fair Warning.
😉
Alright…
…Here We Go, Kiddies.
*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

I’ve Left The Setting Rather Ambiguous, As I’m Sure This Scene Could Be Used In A Couple Different Types Of Horror Flick.
Most Notably, I Think It Could Be Used For Something Like A Zombie Apocalypse Type Flick, Or Simply A Flick Where There’s A Small Group Of Folks On The Run From Someone, Or Something.
That’s Actually The Least Important Part Of What I’m Presenting Here, As I Was More Concerned About The Characters, And What They’ve Got Going On.
Whatever, Or Whom Ever, They’re Running From Is Obviously Bad Enough That The Small Group Of Folks Is Very Noticeably Shaken To The Point Of Hysteria.
The Scene Is Of A Small Group Of About 5 Or 6 People, Though Only Three People Are Participating In The Speaking Portions Of The Scene.
And Now To Begin…
It’s The Dead Of Night.
(((Pun Totally Intended, By The Way.)))
GIRL #1:
(Sobbing, Hysterical)
“We’re Going To Die! We’re ALL Going To Die, I Just Know It!“
GUY #1:
(Almost Frantic, But Calmer Than The Rest Of Them)
“LOOK, Just Shut The Fuck Up And Let Me THINK!“
GIRL #1:
(Sobbing Harder Than Before, Much More Hysterical)
“But We’re Going To Die! They’re Going To Find Us! We’re Going To Die! I Know We Are!”
GUY #1:
(More Forceful Than Before)
“Look You Crazy Bitch, I’ve Seen Enough Scary Movies To Know Your Hysterical Ass is No Good To Us Right Now! If You Don’t Shut The Fuck Up NOW, I’ll Kill You Myself Just To Save Everyone Else!“
GIRL #1:
(Still Pretty Hysterical, But The Sobbing Has Suddenly Stopped)
“HEY, Who The Hell Do You Think You Are! You…“
GUY #1:
(Gets Up In GIRL #1's Face, He's Much More Forceful This Time)
“ONE MORE FUCKIN’ WORD! JUST ONE FUCKIN’ MORE, AND I’LL DECK YOU! JUST ONE FUCKIN’ MORE!“
GUY #2:
(Frantically Comes-Over To The Aide Of GIRL #1)
“HEY! YOU CAN’T TALK TO HER THAT WAY! Y…“
--(GUY #1 Totally Decks GUY #2 With A Savage Uppercut To The Chin)--
--(GUY #2 Falls Hard To The Ground, Totally Laid Out)--
--(GUY #1 Turns Toward GIRL #1)--
GUY #1:
(As Forcefully As Possible)
“AND THAT GOES FOR YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE! I AM NOT GOING TO DIE OUT HERE BECAUSE Of YOU! YOU WANNA BITCH, SCREAM, OR ANY OTHER FUCKIN’ THING, FINE! BUT NOT WITHIN A HUNDRED FUCKIN’ MILES OF ME! GOT IT!?!?!“
--((DEAD SILENCE))--
GUY #1:
(Still Forceful, But Noticeably Calmer)
“Good! Now, Let’s Keep Moving!“
GIRL #1:
(A Bit More Whiny Than Frantic, And Holding Back Tears)
“And THEN WHAT!?“
--(GUY #1 Begins Helping Up GUY #2)--
GUY #1:
(The Calmest He's Been Thus Far)
“Try To Survive The Night.“

Like I Said, My Peeps…
…I Wanna Write A “B-Movie“…
…And That’s Exactly How This Was Thought-Out.
Not As Something To Be In Some Fancy-Ass Studio Drama….
…But As Something To Be On The “SYFY CHANNEL” On A Saturday Night!
A CHEESE-TASTIC CHEESE-FEST!!!
It Was Fun…
…Right?!?
?!?
Riiight?!?
?!?!?

Yeah.
It’s Turned Into One Of THOSE Nights.
Restless.
Sleepless.
Depressingly Depressing.
I Mean, Come On…
…When Do YOU Break-Out The Ole…
NEIL DIAMOND
?!?!?
This Is The Only Song Of His On My Player…
…And I Never Listen To It…
…Unless I’m Having A Little Personal Pity Party For Me, Personally.
I Love This Song.
“I AM…I SAID“
…Has Always Been My Favorite Track Of His.
Period.
The Lyrics Always Spoke To Me A Tad.
Guess I’ve Been Kinda Depressing.
But When I Get The Blues…
…I Tend To Listen To Sad Songs.
What?!
You Do It, Also!!!
You KNOW You Do!!!
Don’t You Dare Try And Lie To Me!!!
Sheesh.
Some Peeps, Eh?!
