If you're going to do anything, be grandiose about it, right?
The image was on both sides of my truck and I covered those images with crystals so they would twinkle when the truck moved. Kids would wave out of their cars as they drove by, shouting out, "Heya Silas. Roll it."
Oh yeah, I'm great at rollin' it (larfs).
Note: the image of the Andromeda galaxy is heavily-distorted but, um, that's artistic license.
(Ed: sure it is)
Best cop I've got, Vincent.
Andromeda was my secret Indian word of power and I have no idea if Indians really have secret words of power but I heard that somewhere and I went with it. Andromeda was the most beautiful mortal on all the Earth but her mother, the Queen, bragged about her beauty and this brought the wrath of Olympus.
Jason saved Andromeda but you will need to check out some Greek mythology to find the rest of the story. It's highly cool with Medusa and her head full of snakes, people turning to stone, and sea monsters. Who needs a reality show, give me some of that.
I latched onto the magic power of her name way, way back but I never told anyone because it's a secret, right?
It wasn't until maybe thirty years later before I made that sign and even then she wasn't revealed but I said the Galaxy Guitar's name was Andromeda ... and that's about the time I got sick and my life went completely to shit.
So it seems the Indians were right and I should have kept it private. This is not whining but rather consideration of ironies within ironies. Make of it what you will.
Despite the failings, my life would have been the lesser if I had not done it. If you don't try, you always fail but in giving it a shot at least you have a chance.
Do that!
