Jerry Christ has become somewhat of an alter ego for me on this journey. He drifts in and out of consciousness when I breach the point of inebriation. He loves to head bang dance and keeps people at a distance when partying, beware people if you get close his actions are contagious and you might get hurt. Some eerie shit has happened since Jerry got on the bus, he put a hole in my hand and it looks like somebody tried to crucify me but i got away. Jerry pretended to be his brother up on the cross today and the sun shone through the window and beamed across my body. If i were at all superstitious i would be pretty scared right now.
It all came about when i was thinking what to be for Halloween. Because i have long hair and some facial hair me and my friends thought Jesus fit the position but when i thought about it a bit more in the car ride back from Squamish i figured i would create my own character: Jerry Christ. Jerry was the not talked about brother of the savior and lived in the giant shadow of Jesus. He often could be found drinking at the local bar yelling at random people and just not giving a fuck because nobody gave a shit about his minor success as a pawn shop salesman.
I thought the idea was super funny and original until my gal pal sent me a link to Robin Williams stand up act where he names and describes Jerry in one of his bits! So Jerry much like Jesus lives on in our lives trying to make his name known throughout time not to save anyone but to make us have wild and outrageous times. In the end of it all think of Jerry Christ when you order another drink you know you don't need, Smoke something you know will make you laugh, and for god sake when you head bang your way to the dance floor because Jerry's got your back.
