Herrington: Pain is a lonely dysfunction
Chris Herrington, Contributing Writer
Unrelentless
Pain is an aching presence
that gnaws at your will to enjoy life.
The constant spur of an angled knife
the tip of which is the reason to wince
takes its time and then yours.
You wake in a sweat and leave in a huff
and you slightly twist and your world goes off.
The regret for whatever it was that
started this ill framed sadness
jumble rolls awkwardly in and out.
Wringing hands and a flurry of pills,
constant discomfort and a head unclear.
Madness is a love letter from an anxious troll
whose only concern is to prod your spiraling
into a closet of anguish and sorrow.
Son of a bitch make it go away
and tell me the sunshine has been hiding
behind the roof.
But it’s morning, and my old hint
has my attention, and I can’t find
my shadow; oh, it’s me.

The really funny and ironic thing is that I am a writer and typing hurts like a baseball bat to the forehead. Nor that this is an all bad thing. It makes me really concentrate on what I am saying because it makes me really want to say it since it is going to be a painful thing to do. Knocking out a 1000 words is like jumping off a cliff and landing on your back. At the end of every sentence I do reflexology on my arm and then scramble at it for another line.
My typing skills have always been a silly masquerade of pretending I knew where the keys were, but now even when I look at the board and really focus, the whole event becomes an awkward dance at a one-legged convention. My physical turret’s has given me a sense of disaccomplishment. I type 50 letters and 30 of them are off.
You would think that slowing down would be more helpful but it is a race against exhaustion. If I slow down too much there is not enough flow for the words to dribble out. Sometimes I have to stop for some letter combinations and hand pick each key like I am picking out 100 dozen donuts at Shipley’s. All different and looking like sets in Gin Rummy. 3 cake, 2 sprinkle pinks, one fat chocolate with banana crème filling….Oh, God, only 500 words to go.
Look, what if I don’t wash the dishes and I don’t need to fold the towels? I can get more-smaller meals and not be so delicate in my lifestyle. The dust can settle in and the cat box can last one more day. I’ll get an ice pack or get in the hot tub, take some more Advil, and watch more TV. Pain is like a teenager with an itch. Now, where was that comfortable position? It was right over here somewhere.
Why is it everything in my head includes a word you can’t say on the radio? Look, I’m going to call this short and live with it. I am sure you have had something that grabbed you hard and wouldn’t let go. I’m 2/3 there and it’s all I’ve got. What a baby sissy! Man, when everything you want is there on the tip of your fingers and your arm won’t fold to put it into your mouth it is hard to taste life in all of its glory. I think I’ll go watch TV and find a racquetball game so I can tell the pros what to do. This is what depression looks like only 3 weeks in. I can’t imagine, and I hope I don’t have to.

A blend of bluegrass-tinted holiday favorites will usher in the Christmas season when the Stephen F. Austin State University College of Fine Arts presents “Dailey & Vincent: A Bluegrass Christmas” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14, in W.M.

The SFA College of Fine Arts will present “Dailey & Vincent: A Bluegrass Christmas” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14, in W.M. Turner Auditorium in the Griffith Fine Arts Building on the SFA campus.
With more than 30 music awards to its credit, the Dailey & Vincent partnership is one of the most applauded acts in the bluegrass community.
“Anyone who is a fan of bluegrass music is well aware of kind of entertaining evening that is promised at a Dailey & Vincent performance,” said John Goodall, associate dean of the SFA College of Fine Arts. “We’re pleased to offer a show of this caliber in our University Series. It’s going to be an enjoyable evening.”
Among the accolades Dailey & Vincent has received from the International Bluegrass Music Association are both Entertainers of the Year and Vocal Group of the Year in 2008, 2009 and 2010; Gospel Performance of the Year in 2008 and 2009; Gospel Group of the Year in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012; Bluegrass Band of the Year in 2009, 2011 and 2012; and Vocal Group of the Year in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. IBMA named Jamie Dailey Male Vocalist of the Year five consecutive years, and he is the current reigning Entertainer of the Year.
Their combined expertise, along with that of band members Jeff Parker, Christian Davis, B.J. Cherryholmes and Jessie Baker, has made Dailey & Vincent “an esteemed act,” according to information at www.daileyandvincent.bombplates.com.
“A live Dailey & Vincent performance has something for every fan, featuring exceptional vocals, harmonized with an unexpected range of material and backed by the skillful musicianship for which bluegrass is known,” the site says.
Before the performance, there will be an informative talk presented by Herbert Midgley, lecturer in the SFA School of Music, in the Griffith Gallery located across the hall from Turner Auditorium. The audience is invited back to the gallery for a post-performance reception to honor the event’s corporate sponsor, Nacogdoches Medical Center.
Tickets range from $17.50 to $35, with discounts available for seniors, SFA faculty and staff, students and youth. For tickets or information, visit www.finearts.sfasu.edu or call (936) 468-6407 or (888) 240-ARTS.

The two men are suspects in several other crimes in East Texas, but have not been formally charged.
Nacogdoches Police Detectives identified the suspects from video tape footage from one of the robberies. Warrants were obtained, and a tip to Nacogdoches Crime Stoppers led the investigation to Austin, where the two were arrested.
