I am sure we all remember High school in some facet or another. Luckily for me, being a bit younger, I was able to save every High school paper I have ever written on my computer. Since I am currently going through finals week during my seniorish year of college (I actually graduate NEXT winter, 4 and a half years after being here) I went back and re read alot of things I have written over the years, even stuff from High school.
While I was searching I found an old paper I had to write when I was a Junior in High school dating back to November 21st, 2002. This was supposed to be our own take on Dante's Inferno where WE (the students in the class) would have to make a similar trek to the one Dante took with Virgil using our own hero to guide us.
I thought Jim would be the perfect person to lead me through hell. As I started writing it I got frustrated with the poetic nature of the original and I just could not write something serious. SO I took my best stab and parody (for a 17 year old frustrated teenager in school) and made fun of everything I could thing of, from the epic itself to people in the news to even making Jim a bit of a goof ball obsessed with his own lyrics.
ANYWAYS, I never thought I would share this with you guys but then I thought, what the hell, I don't have anything to loose. I would just like to ask that if anyone DOES NOT LIKE THIS, to PLEASE NOT POST ANYTHING RUDE. One of the reasons I don't post here like I used to is because I don't want to get into the many fights that go on here.
Here it is, A.G. Awesome's Inferno starring Jim Steinman:
