EveryDayAmnesiac
I've given all I can. It's not enough.
So, my friends and I had a deal with a certain streamer. Now the deal is off the table. So fuck it.
My team is in tatters. One of the four decided to go make babies and take her life seriously. One decided to move into a cult home where only middle aged men live and never leave the house. One decided to buy a pound of magic mushrooms and hit the open road and hasn't been heard from since. And the last one, she kissed me softly on the cheek and apologized before she drove away. So, yeah. Fuck it.
I've only been writing this for 25 years. Feel free to abandon it because it's no big deal.
So, the gist.
A dude gets out of prison, where he's been for an indeterminate amount of time. Wildman beard and some gray here and there. You can do the math. He goes around through his hometown to his old friends and collects what he can and gets turned away by all family and friends. The viewer feels bad for him but slowly it's revealed why everyone wants nothing to do with him.
But he's still a sympathetic character. He got lost and never found his way back because life got in the way. He never got over the suicide of his best friend in high school. She still lingers. As does the blanket she made for him, which is made of patterns of stars and planets and dinosaurs and spaceboys.
His whole journey over the course of one day is to talk to his ex-wife, the only person he knows would talk about his friend, and who spends time talking to him, but eventually turns him away, and he spends the night in her garage, and sifting through all the shit of his she saved because she's actually not a bad person. He throws a hissy fit and leaves it all behind for her to deal with, and takes the blanket with him. A bison on the plains.
He is forever lost. Still in prison.
Despite all his rehearsal, things all go terribly wrong, and nothing is solved. In a metaphorical way, he decides to join his friend, who beckons to him, in the afterworld because there is no place for him in the really real world.
There's a whole lot more to it than that, but it's not a happy story.
Here's where the story is fun!
The girl whose death he can't get over was a writer girl. And what she writes all gets fun songs. That's why he can't get over it. He keeps imagining it.
So ... what I need from y'all is some fun songs that are from before .... let's say .... 2000.
And maybe involve a certain day. An Every Day theme.
This is the song meant for the ending credits:
