INSIDE JOB: Visitors to the city’s Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility says they witnessed a brutal beating of a prisoner. Maria PouChnikova

[ prisons ]

OFF Guard There’s been a muted response from Philly prison officials to a correctional officer’s alleged assault on an inmate. By Daniel Denvir

he Philadelphia Prison System says it takes allegations of brutality against inmates seriously, and is investigating an alleged attack last week at the city’s curran-Fromhold correctional Facility. but prison spokesperson Shawn Hawes would not say what the investigation consisted of, or identify the correctional officer involved. As for the officer’s internal-affairs records, or any data on use of force at the city’s prisons? “I would suggest you file a FoIA,” says Hawes, referring to the federal Freedom of Information Act. (In fact, city agencies are subject to the state’s right to Know law.) three visitors to the prison told City Paper they watched in horror as a guard beat inmate Marcellus temple last thursday. More than 20 people representing about a dozen social service and city agencies were in the prison’s gym to showcase their programs when the guard allegedly attacked temple, as City Paper reported last Friday. other guards standing nearby failed to intervene. “I saw this officer punch this inmate,” says one witness, “punch this young man in his face. He fell to the floor. You hear his head hit

the concrete. And the officer then got on top of him and pummeled this man six or seven times.” the corrections officer said, “twice I asked him to leave the room and he didn’t want to, so I beat the motherfucker down,” according to the witness who, like two others, spoke to City Paper on the condition of anonymity because of their agencies’ ties to the city and its prison system. but efforts since then to determine what the city’s Prison System is doing to investigate and monitor alleged misconduct by correctional officers in temple’s case, and more generally, have been largely fruitless. one witness says that a fellow inmate stated, “I’m so glad you all were here to witness it.” In temple’s case, it seems unlikely that the beating would have been known to the public had it not happened in front of so many visitors. “He commenced to beating this man to a pulp right in front of everybody who was invited into the prison,” says one witness. “the initial hit was like a one-two. the boy fell. He knocked him out … his hands were straight on his side like you see on tV. then the guard jumped on him and hit him like five or six more times … and just kept beating him. Nobody said, ‘Stop.’ Nobody intervened.” that witness says the “man needs to lose his job … and he needs counseling so it doesn’t happen to nobody in his family. the rage I

when help isn’t there ➤ A new feAture written by Philadelphia teachers, admini strators and other staffers about their experiences in the schools.

ne afternoon, about three years ago, I watched my student “Michelle” standing in our elementary schoolyard with her pink book bag and her little barrettes bouncing, waiting for her daddy to pick her up. Michelle had been born right after her father left for his first tour of duty in Iraq, and he had to experience her first year of life through pictures and emails. Now that he was back from his second tour, he walked his daughter to and from school like clockwork. He arrived that day at 3:09 p.m., as usual. As I was leaving for the day, around 3:45, I heard far-off gunshots. Having lived in Philly for all of my 26 years, this didn’t faze me much. but later that night, my principal called. What I’d heard had been the sound of Michelle’s father being shot and killed in what had probably been a botched robbery. Michelle had been with him. It had happened right in front of her. My principal and I began to talk through how to handle this without the help of a counselor. because of budget constraints, it had been a few years since our school had had one full time, and, as you may have read, the situation’s only gotten worse since then. We talked until midnight. I didn’t expect to see Michelle at school the next morning. but

20 35

there she was in the schoolyard, as if it were business as usual — though she was being dropped off by her mother rather than her father. Her mother told me Michelle had begged to come to school while she was out making her husband’s funeral arrangements — it was where “I feel safe,” Michelle had told her mom. “My teacher will protect me.” Michelle had always been a talkative child, and she acted like her usual self most of the morning. but around lunchtime, she suddenly laid her head down on her desk and refused to talk to anyone. I did eventually get her to get up and eat some lunch, and called to see if Michelle’s mother could come pick her up. the mother was still out making funeral arrangements, and asked if I could send Michelle to see the counselor. I had to choke out, “I’m so sorry, but our counselor is only here on tuesdays and thursdays.” It was a Friday. Michelle had to wait for four more days. You know what’s stuck with me? that there was no way for me to protect that little girl from whatever PtSD flashback or anguish she was going through when she suddenly shut down. I had no idea how to help her cope with something that serious, and the person who might have been able to couldn’t be there. A lot of kids bring all sorts of fears and trauma with them to school. How many others are suffering?

that is so good you just stop and say, “Yes, let’s do that.” Such was the case about six weeks ago when senior staff writer Emily Guendelsberger suggested that we invite city school teachers (and nurses, and counselors, and janitors, and principals) to write in anonymously about what they are facing as they lead their classrooms and teach our children. Like others, we have been reporting extensively for the last few years on the financial calamity facing city public schools, the lack of basic supplies and the impact of the massive layoffs of teachers, administrators, nurses, counselors and aides. But this series of personal essays, the first of which prints today in a “Teachers Anonymous” column, is our way of taking a more direct path to the heart of the matter. We are asking teachers to tell the public the stories they tell each other in faculty lounges and at happy hours, where they meet to laugh at the absurdity, share joys and seek strength from each other — the stories that might help our readers better understand what the crisis looks like on the ground. Since teachers wouldn’t be able to write candidly out of fear for their jobs, we offered to let them hide their names and the schools where they work in exchange for getting their unvarnished views. You can be sure that we know who is writing, and have been in touch with them personally. Good newspapers don’t normally allow people to speak anonymously on their pages, especially if the remarks are critical. We know that smart readers question the credibility of anonymous stories, and that it leaves the paper more open than we’d like to the possibility of a hoax. But in this case, we decided it was worth the risk to get the unfettered truth. We intend to publish this column regularly in the hope that these stories will paint the most compete picture yet of the city school crisis. If you are a school employee and have a story — good or bad — you think would help people better understand the parts of your job that nobody seems to see, tell us about it. Rest assured, we are listening. (lswanson@citypaper.net)

seen on his face was terrible. It was crazy.” the prison’s official account, as related by Hawes, was much different. “Apparently the inmate in question was instructed to leave with his group, and he refused that order,” said Hawes. “He took a swing at the officer, from what I understand. And he was taken to the ground and handcuffed.” Hawes says that temple suffered only “minor swelling,” and did not require hospital care. She also says that temple will be charged in connection with the incident. “the prison system is lying to you,” says one witness, who says the inmate never threw a punch. A third witness echoed the others’ account of a brutal and unprovoked attack. “the co had his knee in this guy’s back,” says the witness. “He couldn’t move. It wasn’t necessary.” “I’m still traumatized,” the witness continued. “Nobody intervened.” Hawes would not say whether the guard had been provisionally removed from interacting with inmates. “It’s a jail, sir,” says Hawes. “everything is in physical contact with inmates.” Indeed, she indicated that the Prison System has no protocol for removing guards from duty when faced with serious allegations of misconduct — and she cast doubt on the allegations in this case. “I don’t doubt their [the witnesses’] credibility, but I do know what our officers face every day, and what kind of inmate this inmate is,” says Hawes, adding that temple has been in trouble frequently both in and out of the prison. “I’m sure you’re aware of what he’s charged with.” temple faces attempted murder and other charges related to an April shooting that wounded an 11-year-old bystander. Was Hawes implying that committing a serious crime — or being charged with committing one — legitimated physical abuse at the hands of correctional officers? No, she insisted. ➤ “The sad, long hisTory of it is that they seem to have reverted

to past practices,” says Angus Love, executive director of the Pennsylvania Institutional Law Project. “About 15 or 20 years ago, there was a custom that any unruly inmate got a punch in the face.” A lawyer who frequently represents city prisoners says that abuse by guards is frequent. How frequent is hard to determine: the Prison System would not provide City Paper with any data on claims of excessive use of force or disciplinary actions taken against guards. that lawyer, who requested anonymity, also said that it was typical for inmates subject to abuse to be written up for misconduct or charged with assaulting a guard. Lorenzo North, president of AFScMe Local 159, the union which represents city correctional officers, disagrees. “We don’t want to hit nobody, but we have a right to defend ourselves,” says North. “there’s a lot of oversight in there.” but North could not name a single case in which a correctional officer had been disciplined for use of excessive force. civil-rights attorneys have repeatedly sued the city of Philadelphia for overcrowded and inhumane prisons over the past decades, conditions that advocates say have resulted in inmates being held three-toa-cell (“triple celling”) and restricted inmate movement. today’s city prison population is about 8,500 — or about 2,000 over capacity. one lawsuit filed in the 1980s, Lester v. Shuler, resulted in the prison system reporting excessive-force complaints to the Pennsylvania Prison Society, which could then conduct an independent investigation, says Michael Mccaney, a Prison Society board member and lawyer who was involved in the case. | P h i l a d e l P h i a C i t y Pa P e r |

TRIPLE-CELLING: Overcrowding is a problem with a city prison population of about 8,500 — or about 2,000 over capacity. Maria PouChnikova

“the goal for us was you created a record of enough incidents,” says Mccaney, “then someone could use that to establish liability of the city in a civil-rights action.” that consent decree has, for unknown reasons, long since become defunct. Mccaney says that it might have been superseded by the federal Prisoner Litigation reform Act, which sharply limited prisoners’ rights to file lawsuits. the beating of temple echoes another recent incident. Prison officials announced that inmate Michael “Fat Mike” Davis had died of “natural causes” on March 3. but Davis’ family told the Philadelphia Daily News that his body, lying in the morgue with “two swollen black eyes, a split lip and bruises on his head and body,” indicated otherwise. Under pressure, the Prison System referred Davis’ case to the District Attorney’s office. they did so the day before the Daily News story ran, and Hawes acknowledged that an internal investigation “did raise some concerns.” Anonymous prison sources told the Daily News that “the 396pound Davis, who couldn’t walk because of a full-leg cast, died after Detention center guards dragged him facedown to the mentalhealth unit.” but Hawes says that she does not believe the D.A. filed charges. As for the correctional officers involved, she says they were disciplined, but would not say how. Nor would she reveal their identities. Asked if that information was public record, Hawes responded, “Perhaps, but we won’t be releasing their names unless compelled. our main concern is safety and security. Please keep in mind that correctional officers work in dangerous surroundings and often live in the same neighborhoods as inmates, their family and friends.” Love says that serious discipline rarely results from use of excessive force — even when the city makes cash settlements with inmates. “they just pay the money and move on,” he says. “the lawyers don’t really trust the guards, the guards don’t really trust the administration, and the inmates don’t really trust anybody.” currently, the only real mechanism available to hold the Prison System accountable for brutality is for inmates to file individual civil lawsuits against the city. otherwise, it doesn’t seem like anyone in charge of Philadelphia’s booming prison system much cares.

➤ The AddAms FAmily at Media theatre Sometimes, it’s all about the cast. that’s been the story from the start for Andrew Lippa, Marshall brickman and rick elice’s The Addams Family musical. Its original broadway production got the kind of New York Times review that usually closes a show. but thanks to glamorous power-casting in the principal roles (bebe Neuwirth and Nathan Lane; later, brooke Shields and roger rees), and fine supporting actors, The Addams Family had a more than respectable run of nearly two years. the cast is the great story at Media, too — across the board, they’re first rate. In fact, I’m willing to bet the show has never been better sung. For the singer-actors’ contributions alone, this is a must-see. I expected Jeff coon to fill the room with lustrous tone and boyish charm (and he did). but in the character part of Gomez, he also displayed a new confidence and slyness. coon looked like a happy man — but how could he be otherwise, playing opposite the ravishing Jennie eisenhower, who shimmered with sex appeal, sang superbly and delivered the comedy with surgical precision. As their daughter, Wednesday, Lauren cupples looks suitably like a sullen teenager, and sounds like a rising broadway star. the delightful Kristine Fraelich nearly steals the show with her big number. Fester, Pugsley, Lurch, Grandmama — all terrific, as is the endearingly daft ensemble.

And the musical itself? It’s not so much a disaster as a disappointment. brickman and elice’s book is almost more Frankenstein than Addams Family, in that it seems uneasily stitched together from borrowed pieces. Lippa tries to give his music and lyrics an individual profile — there are Latin dance rhythms to evoke Gomez’s Spanish roots, for example — but though some of it is tuneful, none of it is memorable. Fundamentally, everything about the writing is too broad and jokey to capture the sublime drollery of the charles Addams’ cartoons that inspired it. but keep your eyes on coon, eisenhower and company, and you won’t mind a bit. Don’t just take my word for it — the person who saw The Addams Family with me is not in the theater, but nonetheless, highly opinionated and often critical. At intermission, he looked at me with astonishment and asked, “the cast really couldn’t be better, could they?” Through Nov. 2, Media Theatre, 104 E. State St., Media, Pa., 610891-0100, mediatheatre.org.

The show has never been better sung.

: new Take me To The river | Cthe fertile musical soil of Memphis, tenn., nourished some of the most remarkable and influential sounds of the last century. Its location on the Mississippi river led to the congregation of black and white, country and blues, spiritual and secular â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all coming together to become the roots of soul and rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll. Take Me to the River seems to set out to trace that history, but detours into documenting the recording of an album that brings together some of the legendary figures of Memphis music with young hip-hop counterparts. the collaborations are heavily weighted on the eldersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side, with little-known rappers like Frayser boy and Lil P-Nut easily eclipsed by the still-vital talents of Mavis Staples, charlie Musselwhite or bobby â&#x20AC;&#x153;blueâ&#x20AC;? bland. Studio veterans from Stax records and Willie Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s royal Studios reconvene and summon the classic Memphis sound in performance footage, but the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus is too erratic to give them a standing-in-the-shadows-of-Motown-style moment in the sun. record producer Martin Shore directs aimlessly, not sure if he is making a history of Memphis music, a celebration of its musicians, or a home movie of a session. the camera simply runs on as artists drop into the studio and chit-chat, occasionally interrupted by an unnecessary visit from executive producer Snoop Dogg or a bit of context from narrator terrence Howard. early on, Howard refers to Memphis as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;integrated musical utopia,â&#x20AC;? but that story is only told peripherally. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Shaun Brady

Tracks | C For a film about a solitary trek through one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most arid and lonely expanses, Tracks sure feels crowded. John curranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biopic tells the story of robyn Davidson, an Australian woman who is determined to walk across the 1,700-mile Australian desert accompanied only by supplybearing camels and her faithful dog. the inspiring story was funded and documented by National Geographic in a 1978 article, and later Davidson expanded it into a book. the occasional rendezvous with Geographic photographer rick Smolan became her one concession to companionship during the long journey. Mia Wasikowska ably captures the contrasting emotions of Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discomfort around her fellow humans and her liberating ease when cut off from the rest of the world. but curran, apparently fearing that audiences would quickly tire of sand, sun and camels, hurries Wasikowska from one encounter to another. Wasikowska is at her best when curran lets her wordlessly express Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inner quest. Smolan, played by Adam Driver, is almost a second puppy on the trip. Davidsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s by turns frustrated by and attracted to him, never quite clear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or, likely, certainâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether their sexual relationship is emotional or purely functional. curranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emphasis on that aspect of the expedition is indicative of his compulsion to psychoanalyze Davidson and her motives. Much is made of the loss of her mother, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an explanation that seems both insufficient and imposed, a condescending assumption that there must be something wrong with someone attempting to assert their independence. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;SB

Optical pOetry: Oskar Fischinger retrOspective

$9 | Thu., Oct. 2, 7 p.m., Inter national House, 3701 Chestnut St., 2153875125, ihousephilly.org. Long before MtV codified music videos as preening lip-synch footage and over-literal narrative goofs, German animator

oskar Fischinger attempted to visualize music on its own abstract terms. Fischinger’s “visual music” films set vivid colors and moving, morphing shapes to classical and jazz soundtracks, creating bold, big-screen synesthesia. His influence can be seen on the bach Toccata and Fugue segment of Walt Disney’s Fantasia, though not his name — he stormed off of the project when he felt it becoming too representational. In association with Los Angeles’ center for Visual Music, IHouse will present a program of more than a dozen Fischinger films in 35 mm. —Shaun Brady

as yOu like it & richard ii $15-$35 | Through Nov. 9, Quintessence Theatre Group at the Sedgwick Theater, 7137 Germantown Ave., 2159874450, quintessencetheatre.org. Quintessence theatre Group

begins its fifth season in Mt. Airy with two Shakespeare plays in rotating repertory, acted by the same company of actors — who are all men. Director Alexander burns has won an audience with his lean, actor-centered classics, including all-male productions of Henry V and Othello. As You Like It, which opened yesterday and is Quintessence’s first allboy comedy, features Alexander Harvey as rosalind, giving us a boy playing a girl who disguises herself as a boy and then pretends to be a girl. this already sounds hilarious, but the casting is no joke; burns hearkens back to Shakespeare’s time, when women by law could not act, and also forces us to see familiar characters differently. Seeing both As You Like It and Richard II (which opens oct. 9), of course, provides similar perspective, as we’ll see familiar actors in different roles. —Mark Cofta

saint JOan, Betrayed $20-$30 | Fri.Sat., Oct. 34, Annen berg Center, 3680 Walnut St., 215 8983900, annenbergcenter.org. Mary tuomanen and Aaron cromie just finished a successful FringeArts run of their acclaimed new piece, The Body Lautrec, and now remount their smaller but no less ambitious 2013 exploration of Joan of Arc’s life for the Annenberg center’s by Local Series. tuomanen is perfect for the role of Joan, and should play bernard Shaw’s epic version someday soon. Alone on stage with clever and surprising masks, puppets and direction by cromie, she brings Joan to life through the heartbreaking portrayal of

Joan’s own French comrades’ desertion, which led to her capture and execution by the british. If you missed it last year, see it now. —Mark Cofta

One upshot of the old-school soul revival is that along with emulating the past, it’s managed to shed light on those who never stopped representing it.

BIG IN QUEEN VILLAGE: Jessica and Jeremy Nolen have a cookbook and a new restaurant in the works. neal santos

[ turning the tables ]

CornerStone Brauhaus Schmitz chef Jeremy Nolen and his pastry-chef wife, Jess, are taking it back to where they first met. By Caroline Russock

few hours before dinnertime, my phone vibrates with a twitter notification: “@carolinerussock is cooking dinner for @NolenJessica and I tonight. I hope she doesn’t make bratwurst and sauerkraut!” When planning dinner at my home for brauhaus Schmitz chef Jeremy Nolen and his wife, Jess, a pastry chef, I knew better than to go teutonic. After all, there’s no one in the city with a tighter sausage game. Instead, I opted to take advantage of the last tomatoes and peaches of the season with a simple goodbyeto-summer menu of grilled flank steak, tomato and radish salad, lacinato kale sautéed with shiitakes and a potato salad. Sure, the potato salad might be a little close to home, but mine swapped an herby mayo for the apple-cider vinegar, onions and parsley that go into Jeremy’s kartoffelsalat at brauhaus. With a new restaurant, Whetstone, in the works and New German Cooking, their first cookbook, coming out in November, the Nolens have plenty going on. but, over cocktails, the conversa-

tion began in a place far away from the kitchen, in berks county with Jeremy’s ’80s cover band, Super bang. “our first song was Poison’s ‘talk Dirty to Me,’” Jeremy says. At the time, he was working at a contract-management kitchen for the local electric company, a large-scale operation where he was cooking for 2,000 people a day. but he had nights free to practice Skid row and Mötley crüe covers with his band. What began as a side project with a couple of gigs booked at a local bar quickly morphed into something much more serious. Media Five entertainment, a management company representing some major Pennsylvania talent, signed Super bang, and before long they were playing up and down the Jersey Shore four nights a week. the demise of Super bang reads like an episode of Behind the Music, with management-company decisions to replace the lead singer because of his lessthan-hunky-rock-star looks and subpar replacement singers hastening the end. even though he clocked more time playing ’80s covers at beach bars, Jeremy was more at home in the kitchen. “I wanted to go to culinary school and my dad said, no,” he explains. Nolen’s father was also a chef and a musician and knowing the scope of his son’s previous kitchen experience, didn’t see the point. “I cooked with my dad since I was 14. I was 19, showing culinaryschool graduates how to actually make béchamel. I learned how to make liverwurst when I was in high school. I went to school with liver>>> continued on page 30

to place your free ad (100 word limit) ➤ email lovehate@citypaper.net BLOOD SUCKING BITCH! I can’t stand the fact that I can’t have you the way that I want to! I know that you are with that blood-sucking bitch and she is draining you! You don’t have time for little ole’ me! Well here is a big fuck you and always a fuck you if you want to sit there and deal with the nonsense that she keeps bringing upon you! I think that you are pathetic. there is nobody on God’s green earth that can fuck you the way I do, clean your clothes the way that I do, or cook the way that I do! I know what I am doing at all times! I am glad that I see what is going on now, and that I erased your ass from my world. Now is the healing time and now it is time to move the fuck on! It doesn’t matter to me that you don’t want me anymore. It is definitely time to turn to the next page.

dog! And I am not your dog, call me or something, you probably are not used to a woman like me but you will get used to it if you are gong to be with me! I don’t like that cause it don’t make any sense to keep going through this over and over again! Learn responsibility and learn your place!

DON’T CALL ME WHEN You are sick...it is funny how you are sick and or in the hospital you call me. I do not wanna hear about your illnesses and you feeling depressed. I

bus! that was your ass because it didn’t smell like anything until you got the fuck on! I hate the fact that some fat people try to squeeze themselves into or on something knowing they can’t fucking fit! Here’s a hint for you! If you are bigger than your primary target...don’t try to get into it! It doesn’t work! Plus think about this...how did you really think that people were going to pass through the aisles!

HEY GIRLFRIEND! At one point in time I was thinking that you were

MY LOVE Sexy yes..smart no...I hate that shit when you know someone like this..what am I supposed to do with you brad, you make me sick! How could you give the fucking hoe all our money..actually you think that it is all our money but it was not..I have money stashed away for my own good fortune and you think that you bled ever dime from me which you didn’t, I am way smarter than that! Didn’t you wonder why I kept telling you that I needed to take care of something! this is what it was making sure that I had something to keep myself warm, which is my savings! I hate the fact that you pretend to care! You don’t care and I know you don’t care! but, brad. your dick is so little, your pockets are empty, your still sexy but all-in-all, I was fucking your father for the longest time! Did you not know..Sorry but..he is well established and his dick means something to me and I actually know what an orgasm feels like now! the laugh is now on you!

BROKEN HEARTED HOE Oh how I love how easy it is to talk to you, and 90% of the sex we have, and how you always seem to be there when I need you. I love how you are good looking and mature and talented and creative, and of course I love the fact that you are wooing me. I hate that you look exactly like my ex boyfriend, and the fact that I’d rather make out with our co-worker because his hairs longer and am unsure if said coworker even wants to make out with me anyway.

BUDDY! Hey I don’t know what your situation is but I am done trying to help you! I call you all the time and you never call me back! I know that you aren’t that busy not to call me back! You and I supposed to be friends and it doesn’t seem like that to me! I feel sorry for you sometimes because you don’t have anyone to talk to about things! I think that you are as phony as everyone else is that we are around! Stop holding on to shit and let it the fuck go! Grow up alright!

NEW ATTITUDE We talked on the phone for alittle bit the other day and I told you that I had a new attitude and wanted to drop all the extra baggage that I was holding on to for so long before and you really didn’t have much to say over the phone. I thought to myself, is she jealous that she can’t do the same thing. Yes, you can do the same thing, you have to get some courage from somewhere, because you keep holding on to this shit it controls you and then you become pathetic, stop being stupid and grow the fuck up already. You keep saying that you are a grown woman, then act like it!

DID THEY ASK What ridiculous questions you ask. You can’t change the past. even if someone asked someone to change or fix the past, it’s crazy to ask that question. Yes, a person can change now, the present, & their behavior. You are cryptic. Go and make yourself useful. I hope the person you are writing this to understands you for I surely do not. Sounds to me like you have an issue with someone. I hope you resolve it, but remember, nobody can change the past. Fixing the past is also difficult for there are so many variables. A person does what they want or have to do depending upon circumstances in life. cryptic indeed!

DIDN’T COME HOME Hold on honey who the fuck do you think that you are and do you think that this is a fucking hotel or something, you need to get it straight I am not those girls that you were dating or that fat bitch that you was fucking, you are not going to have me leaving my front door open and you not show the fuck up. We have to have a talk, respect is due to a fucking

I never thought I would hurt you. I have made mistakes and you always stand by me. How did I end up with an angel? You truly are the most amazing woman I have ever met. You are my high school sweetheart and you are the love of my life. You have taught me so much. I really don’t have anyone in this world besides you and our children. I love you all with my entire heart and I will spend the rest of my life showing you that. everyone deserves a chance, thank you for standing by me and loving me so much.

OBSESSION

got my own damn problems. If you want someone to talk to or hear about your depressed state of mind. call your minister or better yet since you are in the hospital get one of those priest or ministers in the hospital and talk to them! by the way I am still waiting for the money that you owe me! So if you wanna call me next time, it better be about me getting my money.

FAT PIG BITCH Why the fuck did you try to squeeze in the back door knowing that you are a fat ass pig! then you going to say that it smell like something on the fucking

my best-friend but I quickly realized that it is my mom and dad that are my best-friends. basically, I think that you are a loser that doesn’t want anything and that you use that term, kindness of a stranger, a little too much! I hate the fact that you are so phony, phony with everything. I don’t accept that fact that you just don’t care or that you are real busy cause you are not. I think all you do all day is play with you smelly pussy and smell your fingers all day!

Hey Freaky neighbor, I see you in all capacities, you think that I don’t see you and I do see you, I know that you are watching me, why don’t you just say something, I am tired of coming home and you drive up and say hey then look at me all long until you drive around the corner, this is getting a little creepy! I wish your obsession you just come into a reality and just be what it is going to be! You are just a weird person, if you don’t say something to me within the week, I am going to say something to you and I hope that you are ready, because I am coming at you with full force! ✚ ADS ALSO APPeAr At cItYPAPer.Net/lovehate. city Paper has the
