Christian Weston Chandler - Catie Date Audio (pt. 6) lyrics

-Continued from pt. 5 where Chris is discussing his extended family- Chris: -pretty much close minded to her nowadays Al: Are they a**holes? Chris: Yea, essentially, I would say, I would say that, yea. They uh, yea she grew up in Red Oak. She was born in Red Oak, Virginia and uh, within the Weston family there they spread rumors about her. Sort of things like, she's a s*ut. That sort of thing. Catie: What would make them say that? Al: Yea, why would they… talking bad about someone in your own family, that's just like harming yourself Catie: That's just bullying Chris: Yea I would say either their a**holes or they're just stressed with their own lives. If they would do it when they were younger I would definitely say “a**holes”. Al: Was it just misconceptions or rumors? Chris: Yea, I would say definitely misconceptions and rumors. Uh, even, even Cole who was born of my mother there uh… Al: Oh yea Cole, that guy you mentioned earlier Chris: Yea… uh anyway, he's got a chip on his shoulder against my mother as well because uh, of things that he's been told about her from things, from the relatives, and his father in law, even his birthfather Al: Wait. Cole, your mother is his mother too, right? Chris: Yes Al: That's mother and son Chris: Yea Al: and he doesn't want to take care of her when she's sick? Chris: Yea, he's like, he just doesn't wanna do a thing with her Catie: Wow Al: What's he been told? What are these people telling him? Chris: -sigh- yea, well my mother, she could tell it better than I could Catie: I mean, did he tell you at all? It seems like something brothers would talk about. Chris: Well, uh, well actually all of my half-siblings are all distant, cuz I was child when they were all adults Al: There's an age gap thalere. Chris: Big age gap. Al: So that makes it harder to communicate with them then? Chris: yea, even more difficult when they don't even give you the information themselves and you have to try to look it up on the interne- through whatever and then you, then you send em a letter or email multiple times and then they don't respond. Al: So wait, you didn't even have their contact info, you had to look it up online? Chris: I had to look up Cole's information online, uh, from my father, he had two children Allen and Carol. Allen is a, a alloth- an optomologlist [meaning ophthalmologist] in Chestfield County. David Allen Chandler, doctor. Anyway he lives over in ??ville. My father knew that, he did. umm… as for Carol, he, we have no idea where the Hell she is and Allen would be able to know where she is definitely and Allen still doesn't want to do a thing with me or his mother in law here. Al: So, how long has it been since you've been in touch with him? Chris: Well, my, well, my father and I before he died uhh, earlier summer two thousand ‘leven, we tried to find him at his house, where he's living at but they were out. They might have gone on vacation uhh we had an idea, we had an idea ?without any notice? but we had uuuh had like a couple of gifts for Allen and his family cuz he got married, has a daughter named Savanna. Catie: Ok. Chris: Yea, so anyway, uh so we left the presents with their next door neighbor. Al: So you drove to their house then or wherever they live? Catie: Just drove there and they weren't there? Chris: Yea Al: What did you get for them, what presents? Chris: My father had like this stained gla** bird he wanted to give that too Sava- yea the gifts were for Savanna really. Yea he wanted to give her the stained gla** bird and for a little while I collected Squinkies. Al: Squinkies? What's a Squinkie? Chris: They're the cute little animal-type plastic squishy things. You can put ‘em on pencils or pencils and pegs and they're like, there like little various characters - Al: Oh like, those little erasers you put on the end of pencils sometimes. Chris: Yea, yea, yea, but these are not erasers. Al: Oh, they're like decorative. Chris: Yea Catie: I never even heard of that ???????? Chris: Yea they came out like within the past decade Al: Cool. Catie: I guess, yea I would've been overseas then. Al: So there's no… your father's side of the family there's no… on your mother's side of the family there's nobody either? Chris: Nobody on my father's side of the family, they're all old as well. And pretty much my father, he has siblings but they're all half siblings as well and he never really got close to them either, they, they never really got close to him. Catie: So you and your mom really don't have much of a support network. Chris: Yea, kind of up a creek with a wing and a prayer… (pause) I didn't want to say without a paddle, because we did sort of have a paddle so that's why “with a wing and a prayer” Al: That… that s**s man. Catie: Yea. That's terrible. I mean, we haven't always been close but at least we have family. Al: So what are your long term plans, I mean, where do you see you and Catie five years from now? Chris: Well, hopefully uhhh, more organized and all that and uhhh… definitely would like to be married. Al: So are you gonna be living with Catie then or are three going to be living with your mom? Chris: Yea I think, uhh, I think uhh, i think we're uhhh, all going to be living together. Yea cuz I don't want to leave my mother behind. I'm sure all of us will be living together. Al: So do you plan on doing this Sonichu thing, comic book thing or continue with the art? Chris: Yea, i'm thinking I am going to continue with the art. Al: So have you thought about getting a job at all though? I know the economies bad right now. Chris: Yea, i'm gonna apply… i'm apply for a part time job after uhhh, yea after we move back in, uhh but I guess part time, I guess I might be flexible. I might try beforehand but i'm still not certain about that when the house will be completed. Al: Yea Chris: and we have to move everything back to the house - we're renting a storage unit as well. Al: You don't have like a, like with the applications for job checks or anything, one of the things that can make it harder is if you have a felony on your record. I mean, you don't have any crimes on your record, do you? Chris: -sigh- No, not really, but the trolls - Al: You never got arrested or anything like that? Chris: Yea, my mother and I we have been arrested… upon a trap set by, set by the guy who pressed charges against us. Al: So was he one of the trolls then, or one of these internet bullies? Chris: Yea I say he was among the trolls I say everybody and the police around here are amongst the trolls as well. I mean, it's not confirmed but my mother and I we end up speculating there. Al: So was it these - Catie: So you and your mom both think - Chris: It's the impression we get from, from, when we were talks with the police while we were under their custody at the time, or when we were going to report something, like we reported the trawwwllls and their ? have been going on and nothing got done. Catie: There's not always a lot they can do about that. What made you think, like apart from that, what made you conclude that trolls were in the police. Chris: uuuh Al: Yea, what made you think that the cops were trolls? Catie: Yea what had you - Chris: Essentially it was within the attitude and the signal- the body language and subtle signal Catie: The attitude and body language, like how so, what specific? Al: Were the police not very professional then? Chris: Yea they were not, they were not very professional, they're more brutish - more like shoot first, or arrest first, beat ‘em up, ask questions later. Catie: You got beat up by the police? Chris: Yea we both did that time. Al: So were you physically injured? You could've sued the police if they abused you. Chris: Yea we were completely injured, my mother was too. Catie: What happened? Did you break a bone, did you need stitches? Chris: uuh.. no bones were broken, but they broke my gla**es Al: Well that's still damage to property, it's not physical injury, but, so did they pay for your gla**es then? Chris: uh -sigh- no, we, my mother and I we were already going through our own stress from the court dates and everything. Fortunately we got settled, we got stuck with a felony charge, mother and I, but that'll be cleared up next June or July. Catie: Next June, so do you have a court date? Chris: uhhh i don't think there is a court date, i'm not sure. Al: When was this? What happened? Catie: Yea, when did this happen? Chris: Yea this was October 2011. (pause) Michael Snyder, the Game Hobby place I had been banned from there cuz Michael hated my guts April 2008 and uh he was definitely a total a**hole. Catie: How was he an a**hole to you? Chris: He was just very mean, uncaring, he wouldn't even give service when I went in one time before that, that just, uh ask him ok everythings past everything and he's like “no” he's like “no” and he was gonna call the police on evidence so I left Al: So wait a second, you went into the store one time and you talked with him and what happened? Chris: Yea, I tried to reason with him. Like I was like uhh -sigh- I had it audio recorded and I uploaded it for the reason i had at the time - Al: Wait a second, why would you record it and then why would you upload it? Where did you upload it to? Chris: Well, because I, because I (pause) well it was because, you know, so I could prove Michael was as mean as he was. Had he had not been mean I wouldn't have uploaded it at all, but I mean it was audio when I had a digital camera in my pocket and it recorded the audio. Catie: Ok? Al: And when was this? Chris: Uhh this was like ummm two thousand nine, or ten. Catie: Ok so it was a few years ago. Chris: Yea Al: So he was just basically an a**hole? Chris: Yea he was just, it was like every time it was just like every time I got half way through sentence he was just like “nope.” rah blah blah blah “nope” blah blah blah “nope.” Just a minute, “nope, nope, nope.” bipbipbibpbip “nope” - Al: So Chris, that was in two-thousand and ten then? Chris: Nine or ten I don't remember exactly Al: And you said you got arrested in 20011 Chris: Yea because it was a trap essentially. My mother and I, we were in that part of town and we saw a sign on a store window that said “under new management” so I figured Michael was gone, right, but no he was the new manager of the place now and he had the police on call, ready right there at the people, at the Staple's store to, to be like witnesses and everything and mom and I we tried to make our escape but they, but nobody would let us and then like, Snyder paid the police, told “beat the crap outta ‘em and arrest ‘em!” something like that. Catie: He bribed the police? Chris: Yea Al: Why would he do that? Why would he hate you so much? (pause for obnoxious birthday song in background) Al: Why would he do that? He sounds like a really cruel guy. Chris: Yea, he was really cruel. Catie: How'd you find out he bribed the cops, did somebody tell you? Chris: Yea, well, pretty much my mom figured it out, essentially and you know it's like com- it's like common sense to put two and two together and he figured that he would profit from me and my mother, he thought we were rich but we were not so rich. We had- it was a lot of money we had, but Mr. C, my father had left us and it paid the court and lawyer fees. Al: So what were you charged with then? I mean, it sounds like you didn't really do anything. Chris: Yeaaa we were charged with trespa**ing. Al: Well you mentioned a felony too. It doesn't sound like trespa**ing would just be a felony Chris: There was also uhh… There were - Al: You said you tried to make an escape, did you run from the cops? Chris: uhhh a bit… yea. Al: Wow Chris: Yea, they were blocking, they were try to block our path out but we made it out but then they cornered us at the nearby court building in the back parking lot, behind the building. Al: Chris, I've had to deal with cops myself, and i've gotta say, you never look forward to dealing with the cops but they're still the police. You gotta treat them with respect. Even if you don't agree with them you still have to show respect. Chris: Yea… that's… Al: It's just important to do. Chris: Yea, that's still the process i'm trying to get to. ? uhh giving the good from the bad from and i'm still seeing bad in a lot of ‘em because with the bribery and everything they can be corrupted. Cuz you don't know what's going on in their heads. Catie: You realize that if you find actual evidence, like if you could actually put a case together for that you can sue them and you can - Al: Yea, if they slip up and you get evidence that they've been bribed or that they maltreated you - Catie: You could get the charges dropped and it'll be off your record completely and it'll be like it never happened. Chris: Yea but.. yea…but that hardly… My mother thought that at one point but we we're so stressed and everything we couldn't really act on it. Al: It can be hard to find evidence of that, yea. Catie: It can be hard, but if this is all true, if this is really what happened then goodness knows what else has been happening. Chris: well.. yea, yea Catie: So you could be able to help a lot of people if you did that. Al: Yea if the police around here are acting like that you might not be the only victim. They could be doing that to other people. (pause) Al: What happened then, did you get a felony on your record? Chris: Yea, because there was a little bit of - -end transmission-
