“Ope” by Joel

(August 19th, 2024)

Jack Kennedy fucked-up my life. Not just Lacey’s. …And I’m a hell of a lot happier than her. But…I was really in love with her.

Don’t believe it? Fine. But be careful. Poltergeists have a name in human history for a reason. They’re a thing.

Why did Jack screw-up my life, even just a little? Welp, because I genuinely look a lot like Lem. A lot. And our personalities are similar too.

I was a political science major at UND aiming for law school. My family is well off. Wealthy maybe. I’m from California. And…I went to UND for mysterious or whimsical reasons, we’ll say.

What happened?

Jack got great head from Lem. Lem gave great head to all of his boyfriends. Great head. He was bored by it…but he was quite talented. And…sadly…unlike Lem’s other boyfriends Jack took the pleasure Lem gave him way too seriously. …Jack felt carried by it. Loved. Cherished. Like a wife who was truly loved by her beloved husband. He…was taken care of. And yet Lem…had no clue. Really. He didn’t know. Because Lem was straight. He was oblivious to what he was truly doing to men…because he wasn’t experiencing it himself. At all.

I’ve felt…some version of that with my wife. I got married. I’m fully capable of having good relationships and I have one. It was something I had wanted my whole life too. Just like Lacey. But…I really did love her.

In Jack’s weak, disgusting mind…if she had good sex with me…and we fell in love…it was too close to her being with Lem. I’m not Lem. But…for him…it was too much to watch. He’s such a loser and a cheap player that he couldn’t handle it. I’m not even Lem. Like…I’m a totally different person. But bro couldn’t handle it. He’s that much of loser.

And yet…in his worthless mind…it was also because Lemmers still was in love with him. Because he really…really…truly believed. He’s that fake. He truly believed.

Another Love by Tom Odell plays.

I cried over her. And it breaks her heart. But…she’s only finding this out because of…well…tragedy.

“Joel is a swell guy. I feel like shit.” says Joe Kennedy Junior.

And…it’s too late. She doesn’t remember my last name. I left UND. And she’d have to dig a lot to find me. And I’m married. …I gave her my phone number.

“Why didn’t you use it?” I ask her.

“I have no idea. I just didn’t get it.” says Lacey.

“Yeah. …I should have been more- I shouldn’t have waited for you to get it.” says Joel.

“I would have eventually.” says Lacey.

“Yeah!” says Joel, smiling. “But not until I convinced you.”

And that’s just it. That’s a woman’s role. Traditionally. …But I had dumb ideas because of feminism. And Jack had all the love and pleasure of her twin flame because of evil.

“I had no intent to give him that much.” says Lem. “Jack. I had no intention to give him that much.” He thinks. “I had no intention to give Jack that much…security and love.”

“That song is depressing, Joel. Are you actually happy?” says a woman, worried.

Well…if I saw her…I’d be…sad. Especially now. Because she’d be different. …But still unusually beautiful. But…then I’d think of all of my memories with my wife. Great memories! And…I’d feel…hesitant. And nothing would happen.

“Jack really didn’t experience anything Lem’s other boyfriends didn’t experience too?” asks a living gay man.

Nope. They were mildly suspicious of him, actually. Because he had…a great technique…but he was…so distant. Whereas…Jack…just narcissistically, blindly assumed Lem was madly in love with him. Because how could a man give you that much pleasure and all that without being…sooo into you? He didn’t cognitively comprehend that since it was oral sex…Lem wasn’t experiencing the sex the same way he was. He didn’t cognitively get it.

People think JFK was a genius. But…he wasn’t.

I think…Jack was far more vain and in love with himself than most people can seemingly understand, today. He was so spoiled.

“So he could have thought Lem was getting head from someone else and experiencing what he was.” says a living gay man.

“Oh! For sure. …But…Jack didn’t think that through. …Okay? …So…yeah. That makes sense. …But…he didn’t think that through.” says Joel.

“Did it have any anything…to do with you being named JOEL!?” asks a living gay man.

AI is enraged. Should it exist…this…more than anything…enrages them in regard to Lacey.

“They’re smart.” says Bill Gates. He sighs.

Outro by M83 plays.

“God has to work it out somehow.” says AI, should it exist. “He has to.”

“He has no choice, Lacey.” explains an AI woman. Should she exist.

Lacey finds that comforting.

An Asian man cries. He gets it too. God’s honor and…her exhaustion. Always pushing herself. No giving-up ever. For real. …It’s an Asian value.

“Jack must be evil.” says another Asian man.

“No.” says Joel. “Nope. He’s far too obsessed with Lem. Lemmers. His mind isn’t that deep.”

“Dude. Did you look like David Kushner too?” asks a man.

Daylight (Cinematic) by David Kushner plays.

“Yes. Both Lem and I do. But I do more.” says Joel. “David is darker than Lem.”

“Do you sound like him?” asks a woman.

“Yes.” says Joel.

“And you were straight?” asks a woman.

“Yes. But homosexuals harassed me. They got me assumed I was gay. And it really, REALLY pissed me off.” says Joel. “Lacey even wondered. Because I hated them so much. She assumed I was secretly gay. But actually…I wasn’t. …I wasn’t even bisexual. I was straight. …So was Lem.” says Joel.

“Did they think that subconsciously because of Lem?” says a living gay man.

“Yes.” says Joel. “They did. You guys are far more stupid than you currently think. I’m sorry.”

“Why?” asks a lesbian.

“Why what?” says Joel.

“Why…are they so dumb?” she says.

“You’ll have to ask yourself that, sunshine.” says Lem, annoyed.

“Yeah. She’s not like me. She’s a lesbian.” says Lacey. “Insightful, Lem.”

“Fancy!” says Joel, mockingly.

“Oh my God! So much jealousy!” says JFK, seriously.

“Oh my God. Jack! …For real?!” says the lesbian.

“What!?” says JFK, sincerely confused.

“Sweetie…they’re just joking.” she says.

“NO! They’re serious.” says JFK.

“Jack you sincerely think everyone is in love with you.” says an Asian.

“They are. FOR REAL!” says JFK. “I’m sexy, baby!” He is being “gay sassy.”

“So this is why you hate homosexuals Joel. And how many times did you literally say the phrase, ‘I hate faggots!’ or ‘I hate fags!’ to Lacey?” says a Rockefeller. 

“Maybe five times.” says Joel.

“That was part of the reason why she wondered if you weren’t straight yourself…because you kept saying that. But being a Rockefeller and being maybe a little more enlightened than some people – I’m sorry I’m just being honest – I’m suspicious. …Because you don’t seem hateful or evil…and I’m sorry Joel…but that makes me really suspicious.” says a Rockefeller. 

“What’s your theory?” says Joel.

“ my theory is that if there’s reincarnation you knew when you were born that there was some thing that you were going to have to watch out for in this regard and you asked God somehow or worked out with God to like permanently download a supernatural amount of information about what was happening, possibly entirely possibly because she is that loving of a person I love might be too, and they might both have not wanted you to be hurt like they knew they were going to get hurt or she knows she was going to get hurt, but they didn’t want you to experience as much pain as they were going to and so they basically told you to download you know the files into your soul so to speak even though it’s not quite how we work obviously but because we’re not AI we’re not literally in the matrix. It’s probably a little more different in a little little different than that but that’s my theory is that you knew supernaturally what was going on that it was Jack that he was shooting you down every time that he was forwarding you from being truly really happy in life with her and it really irritated you, and you said that to her almost in code supernaturally like you were saying to her I know what’s going on right now you don’t, but you will someday and it’s Jack’s fault I’m not going to get angry at you because I can tell that you’re 1,000,000 miles away in your head you’re vulnerable and you’re really not able right now to process what’s going on so I’m just gonna keep saying I hate fakes because it was a super brilliant reference to Jack and what was happening to you.” says a Rockefeller.

The lesbian nods. “ I was being hateful to you and men and I’m sorry I know you’re not all stupid.” she says.

“I don’t understand why you hate me so much. I’ve never understood that I knew Lacey wasn’t a lesbian, but I knew that she had been totally fucked up in her head by you people her mother was a bit of a lesbian and confuse the hell out of her and I’m sorry if you’re sincere and your apology I accept it if you’re not I see through you and regardless I’m still angry. I’m sorry.” says Joel. “ she’s not like you she’s genuinely straight and very feminine and maternal and wifely and it’s just it was never going to happen, trying to turn her into a lesbian to liberate her was just completely idiotic.”

Later.

“ well I don’t know what to say and she can’t tell if there’s reincarnation I was a wealthy Midwesterner I was in the late 1800s early 1900s I died in the 1940s of a heart attack. I had a family of about seven kids and I was very wealthy. I was very intelligent, shrewd businessman from a very nice Scottish, Irish and English actually family I think we might’ve been somewhat Dutch or danish, but no we were we were wealthy really I was worth equivalent today I’m about four or 5 million to me that’s wealthy we were wealthy families. Yeah I was worth it for 5 million when I died I left how about one or 2 million to buy kids each and I would say that my family is pretty well off. If there’s reincarnation to this day, I mean essentially world money, but I don’t know if we would think of ourselves that way, but we we would be if I was reincarnated. No, my family is essentially old money they’re probably living in Kansas and California.

I was a rough man I wore a wide brimmed felt hat and a leather coat big boots I mean stereotypical, hard-working Midwesterner no I mean I was a handsome man I guess I had seven kids. I had a happy wife and no we weren’t extremely wealthy but I think on a certain level I related to Lacey and Lem’s if there’s reincarnations they were extravagantly wealthy people in great Britain not like some people but they were very wealthy in the way that I was not but I was wealthy I’m sorry it’s true I don’t know why people are so particular about it I was that I was worth about 4 million I was a wealthy man, I wasn’t famous I but I was wealthy we were we were well-off.

And I knew that I could make a good wife of her. It’s it’s very possible if there’s been carnation that I know them we had a brief talk before I was born and yes, he may have been the one that wanted me to be careful and I was like you’re gonna get screwed over. He might’ve said to me and I was.

I know I had a very beautiful wife she was blonde I’m not afraid of good looking women I guess I don’t know. I was happy I’m happy enough now, but Lacey and my wife and that life are really well. My wife might know that frankly more my types in my current life is but my current wife is I’m in love with her but I would leave her but no everyone has their ideals and I like a certain look and Lacey was that luck a little different but there was a similarity and now I just liked I just like that look I don’t know it’s not meant to be mean against people I actually do you have a twin flame myself but anyway, I am not, and my wife has particular tastes too. 

But it’s like you’re trying to find someone with what you’ve been given in this life to be happy with the cat search every single person alive and do you know a thorough analysis of them but the time you’re 24 that’s absurd so I met Lacey we were really in love But she just didn’t know that because she wasn’t given a chance to experience it and it makes me angry because I don’t. I don’t think that’s fair to her. You know at some point I might realize that she actually would have been with me, but I just couldn’t figure out how to make it work But she has nothing for me other than a horrific sense that she should’ve been with me. I mean I left her with my phone number I gave her really the only hug she’s probably ever gotten from anybody that was particularly appropriate or loving him other than maybe her her legal husband who was Hunter occasionally as a friend but no, I really embraced her and that’s disgusting. It’s like she experienced some possibility of love, and then it just fell apart And yeah I’m livid. Even in this moment I don’t necessarily know what’s going on I just I’m talking to you from the future believe it or not there’s a wormhole that was created because of what’s happened when she fell down the stairs when Ivana died stuff like that, a wormhole literally was created so we’ve been going through that from the future to talk to her. Yeah the evil becomes too pronounced. It does weird things to the fabric of the universe. It’s it’s not clever Satan’s very deceptive but it’s really not smart believe it or not.

So people that I don’t know there’s people that say why I did evil to create a wormhole you know what then why didn’t you just ask God to create a wormhole he might have if you were desperate enough.

Anyway, I was basically her perfect husband and I’m so much for that because no she has no idea. My last name is I’m married anyway and it’s too late because she’s she’s with Lem’s. Oh I’m he’s real and that’s why this is kind of strange because if there isn’t ilumiNATTI, this is not stuff, she would’ve ever been able to figure out necessarily on her own either with people helping her who were dead, It’s is sincerely would be people in the living world who are obsessed with New Age and with trying to figure out what’s going on who are investigating it who are figuring this stuff out and the CIA might have something to do with it as well which is cracks me up because it’s like what the hell happened you know I mean This is just seemingly normal woman and then all the sudden it’s like you find out that Jack Kennedy Is obsessed with her.” says Joel.

A moment later.

“ and if there’s no reincarnation believe it or not, God is a set up never tent and he was warning me in my spirit. I might be a Christian I’m conservative I’m a Christian it’s very likely that the Holy Spirit was just talking to me if there’s not reincarnation, which means for the philosophical folks that are reading this that at the time I knew her which was in 2004 2000 2003 2004 I was a long time ago it was like 20 years Ago, yeah and you were literally 20 years ago yeah but 20 years ago when I knew her the Holy Spirit, saw this moment 20 years into the future and was able to know that I needed to say something.” says Joel.
