Maybe it’s the sound of your own or maybe you’ve imagined what mine sounds like, it’s one of those—the one you’re using right now to proof read this sentence. We all have them, I just think there’s too many people listening to the wrong ones these days.

Voices

I’m not the only one battling a closet case of multiple multiple multiple disorder split disorder split personality, am I? I can define empathetic, remorse is a normal emotion, and I have a thorough understanding of right and wrong so I don’t check all of these boxes. However, don’t skip the voice boxes—multiple voices and they’re all saying something different, all of the time, and echoing and I’m constantly having to decode, block, ignore and accept an individual voice which, by the way, one of them is echoing again, from a plethora of echoing voices during every waking moment of every single day :breathe: that part checks. It’s not until you begin reacting to the wrong ones that you could potentially create a problem.

Below is commentary I’m going to create, provided the proper voices are acknowledged, based on a list of nine people you’ve most likely never heard of with the exception of maybe just a few, each of whom acknowledged all of the wrong voices—crazy.

Meet Brandon Andrew Clark—a 21 year old murderer who ended the life of his 17 year old girlfriend by slitting her throat from ear to ear. His dad set a piss-poor example for him by repeatedly beating his mother but that doesn’t mean the good voices weren’t there—he just didn’t listen to them. “Put the knife down” would’ve been a good one to listen to. He could’ve listened to the one that said “don’t be like your dad” or “just break up with her” but, n0oOo! Brandon went with the one that said “slit her throat” and then listened to the other one that said “post pictures of her mutilated, dead body online” and, finally, “now slit your own throat and take a selfie.” He really missed the line on that one.

Meet Katrina Kraus—a 35 year old married school teacher who taught her 15 year old student the birds and the bees. She could’ve listened to the one that said “you’re a woman, you’ll do less time than a man would for touching a 15 year old child which makes no sense at all but you’re still going to have to face the consequences should you get caught.” Or the one that said “really? In a cemetery? We’re surrounded by headstones.” “He’s more than half my age” or “my husband wouldn’t approve of this” but, no0oO! Katrina listened to the one that said “I want a penis that’s attached to a 15 year old boy—preferably one of my students.” She really missed the line on that one.

Meet Yasmine Villasana—a 22 year old drunk driver who thought she could avoid paying the toll booth fee by claiming to be rear ended which caused her car to launch through the air, over the toll booth, before finally bursting into flames on the other side. She could’ve listened to the one that said “don’t panic just because you don’t have exact change” or, “you’re hammered, brakes are on the left, do not, I repeat, do not smash the peddle on the right!” “Toll booth operators have a direct line to police, wake up—pay attention” would’ve been appropriate but, no0oO! Yasmine listened to the one that sounded like the horn from the General Lee in Dukes Of Hazard. She really missed the line on that one.

Meet Alexander Hayden Sperber—a 25 year old aspiring comedian who was searching for the perfect way to jump start his #comedy career. The voice that said “just pay your dues and your time will come” didn’t make sense. Neither did the one that said “just do comedy as a hobby and don’t quit your day job.” He could’ve practiced his material and hired an agent to book comedy shows but, n0oO0! Alexander listened to the one that said, “pretend you have a gun, hold the bank teller hostage and demand she hand over 47 hundred dollars” but that wasn’t enough. He proceeded to listen to the other one that said “now strip off all of your clothes, get butt naked” and, yet another, “now run down the street as fast as you can while screaming and throwing the stolen money through the air.” He really missed the line on that one.

Meet George H.W. Bush—a former US president who died in November, 2018. The former president ran a Congressional Blackmail Child Sex Ring, known as “Operation Brownstar,” in the 1980’s, where he’d recruit young boys from various orphanages across the United States to be transported to Washington DC where they would be drugged and raped by an elite society of men and women. He could’ve listened to the ones that said “your son walks in your shoes” or “imagine grown men abusing your children the way you and your friends do” but, no0oO! George listened to the voice that said “send the caretakers home—say the boys fell asleep” and “we’ll use taxpayer money to fund The Franklin Coverup and then draw first blood on Iraq as a diversion.” He really missed the line on that one.

Meet Thomas Tramaglini—a 42 year old superintendent for Kenilworth Public Schools in New Jersey, USA. He received administrative paid leave to defend himself against public defecation, lewdness, and littering. After complaints of someone pooping on the public school running track “daily,” a surveillance team was assembled to catch the perpetrator, which they did, at approximately 6am the morning the superintendent was arrested. He could’ve listened to the one that said “we have to stop drinking coffee in the morning” or “we really need to run in places less public” but n0oOo! Thomas listened to the one that said “you’re free like a cat—the track is your litter box!” He really missed the line on that one.

Meet Woody Bernard Duclos—a former Burger King employee in Northern Florida. Duclos pleaded guilty to #food poisoning with intent to kill or injure someone after being suspended from his job for misconduct and received a five year sentence in the state penitentiary. On two separate occasions, Burger King patrons found Hydrocodone pills stuffed inside their burgers after removing the buns to add condiments. He could’ve listened to the one that said “you already got reprimanded for misconduct once” or “don’t do it! Someone could die” but, noOo0! Woody listened to the one that said “I’ll show you misconduct by stealing money from the register” and the other one that said “use the stolen money to buy pills and secretly feed them to unsuspecting victims.” He really missed the line on that one.

Meet Bill Clinton—a 73 year old former US President. After failing to hide his Monica Lewinsky scandal and swearing he didn’t inhale, journalist Jen Moore’s accusations wouldn’t be taken lightly—she’s dead now. The seemingly healthy, award winning journalist died at age 64 from a “seizure” exactly one week after reporting a Clinton rape victim, a now 26 year old man, to the FBI and Department of Justice. Allegations by the survivor claim he was abused at multiple sex parties hosted on a private yacht by Bill Clinton and attended by several D.C elites. He could’ve listened to the one that said “you have young children” or “this little boy won’t always be a little boy” but, noO0o! Bill listened to the one that said “only thing better than candy and ice cream is candy, ice cream, underage children, and rufie’s!” He really missed the line on that one.

Meet Victor Sibson—a 21 year old Alaskan native accused of murdering his high school sweetheart. In a failed attempt to take his own life, he’s now required to wear a protective helmet during court proceedings where friends describe the former couple as a “happy couple.” Police reported to the scene where they discovered two gun shot victims and only one bullet which was later determined to be a failed suicide attempt—the self inflicted bullet passed through his head and continued through the chest of his girlfriend, killing her. He could’ve listened to the one saying “if you think your #life is bad now, it’s about to get a whole lot worse” or, the other one, “don’t forget about your family and your girlfriends mother whom you call mom” but, noOoO! Victor listened to the one that said “bullet holes are like tattoos only a little more painful and a lot more risk.” He really missed the line on that one.

Edit - _{(@puravidaville just told me the Yasmine Villasana link routes back to this page—I have no idea why it’s doing that. I just tried attaching a completely different link with the same story and it’s still routing back to this article for some reason. Also, she asked me “uhm, did you compare yourself to a socio or psychopath??” I said “no, of course not. The people who listen to the wrong voices are.” ...Guess I really missed the line on that one.)}
