The Saving Tree (video)

Lyrics:


VERSE:
It's a time for sympathy
It was Grover's valiancy
Yesterday at the fucking willow tree

Reminiscing from a year ago
I can't remember all the times I know
And the ones that are still alive

CHORUS:
Sweet vendetta, sweet vendetta now
His life was nothing but a twisted curse
Sweet vendetta, it's calling me now
You will not be forgotten my friend. I think you cursed my life.

VERSE:
Would I have changed the way things are?
I can't change the way things are
As long as I can keep her evil face in my mind

It's really funny you see
That's the tree that also saved me
Or was it Grover's valiancy?

CHORUS:
Sweet vendetta, sweet vendetta now
His life was nothing but a twisted curse
Sweet vendetta, it's calling me now
You will not be forgotten my friend. And then Def Rio said...


This is not where you belong

Def Rio (rough)

A SAGA

Well, haven't been very active with this, but I still have a passion for CGA. Here is my idea. Cocaine Guns and Ammo-(A three part saga)!

Don't call me a copy cat, because it's been done in several instances. The most common being Lucas, but of course we can't over look the Amory Wars with Coheed and Cambria. Enough with this, let me lay it down how it is.

Part I- "A Hero Can Save Us"- This being the origin of Grover, I have at least one entry devoted to this already

Part II- "Evil Government"- My favorite part. If I was going to sell the screenplay of CGA I would undoubtedly choose Part 2. Basically, everything I've written excluding the origin fits with the plot of Evil Government. It starts with Schmuck being the main character and follows his growth into the commander of Ghost Forces. That's right, I plan to have Schmuck take over with Rio at his side. I've also revealed the Saving Tree and the death of Grover, so that should be no surprise to anyone (unless you don't read my posts!). As Schmuck assumes the role of commander, I plan to have Ghost and Allied Armed Forces have one huge battle at Fort Alliance. This battle looms in the near future at the end of Evil Government.

Part III- "Survival of The Fittest (This is War)"- The title says it. The showdown in Fort Alliance Consumes this part, that and the Months leading up to it. I plan to put flashbacks in this part of the saga, before Evil Government and before Schmuck met Grover. Also, in the months before the war Schmuck proposes to Rio and a wedding is held. The wedding is near the start of Survival of the Fittest and is sort of a bitter sweet type of event. Traditionally part three is the longest. Well, in CGA it's the shortest. (SPOILER) Don't read past this sentence if you don't want to know the ending of CGA's three part saga. READY? I plan to have Schmuck pass in the battle of Fort Alliance. Because of this sacrifice, the Ghost Forces will emerge victorious. I find the death of Schmuck as a non-traditional twist to the story. Normally, a character as established as Schmuck would not be killed off, but Rio would. Anyway I am satisfied with my tentative ending and believe it helps clinch the saga.

I am really getting carried away with myself in this post, but if there was ever going to be a story after the story, I think a "Rio based" chronicle would be, well, awesome. I feel like a follow up story called "Def Rio" would fall into place with the conclusion of CGA.

Finally, if a movie/book/album ever came of this saga I have created, I like the idea of "evil eyes" as the cover of Evil Government. This picture might help you visualize what I'm thinking.



Cheers

Everything is Better With....?

EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH COCAINE GUNS AND AMMO.
Oh no, Schmuck's done it again.
He's wondered off and now he's making a friend.
I wonder why he doesn't have any friends.
Stylin' Cocaine, Guns, and Ammo again.

Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?

As Schmuck and Rio enter the Underground, there is a group of rebels leaving for an assault on Fort Alliance. Grover introduces the two to Betty and Claudio and joins the battalion. The four of them tour the sewers and learn that at this point in the war the Underground is simply a disrupting force against the AAF. They burn, break, and terrorize the military. Schmuck and Rio begin to feel that the Rebels are nothing but a bunch of crazy lunatics with an obsession for chaos. Nobody appears to be sane, especially Betty and Claudio who were once married but are now separated by their bitter attitudes towards the war. Finally they meet someone who has a hold of his fricken marbles. Holden Caulfield, battle strategist, befriends Rio and Schmuck and explains his affiliation with the Ghost Forces.

Dialogue

Schmuck-"So is everyone here insane or what?"
HC-"Yes."
Rio-"So, Holden...did you like that book?"
HC-"Nope."
Rio-"Ah"
Schmuck-"CATCHER IN THE RYE?"
HC-"Shut up, kid"
Rio-"Why are we here Holden?"
HC-"I don't know why you're here, Rio. But I know why your boyfriend is."
Rio-"He's hardly me boyf-"
Schmuck-"Why does everyone know who I am!?"
HC-"Because your grandfather was a genius."
Schmuck-"...So you know about my condition?"
HC-"You're not the only one that has it."

Random Update

Not a lot of new stuff, just wanted to put a post up to say I put a post up. Two songs that I've been listening to a lot lately are "What a Shame" by Shinedown on the Sound of Madness record, and "Everyday is Exactly the Same" by the Nine Inch Nails. The reason these songs intrigue me is because they are fascinatingly similar to the plot of CGA. I wish I had written them. "What a Shame" depicts the tale of Grover's demise and "Everyday is Exactly the Same" is simply Schmuck's anthem. While Claudio Sanchez and Coheed are my main influences, I applaud these two artists and recognize them as an inspiration to my ballad.

CHAPTER UNDERGROUND

The underground is quite literally an underground radical establishment who's purpose is to terrorize and infiltrate Conformist military efforts. Hundreds of people make up the underground, and the two people that coordinate the movement are Claudio Armstrong and Betty Walker. Their opposite views balance out tactical strategies. This is where Rio and Schmuck meet many important characters (yet to come). They also learn of the supreme leader of the Ghost Forces.
