CARELESS SERGIO
I was born in Italy, on August 15, at 10.30 in the morning. In Italy, August 15th is a national holiday. As you can imagine, a holiday in the middle of summer is usually spent at the beach. For most of my relatives, it was the last day of their summer break before going back to work. Imagine how happy they were to go to the hospital because my mom was giving birth to this little guy instead of enjoying the sun and swimming.
August 15 is also one of the hottest days of the year in that area. That night, though, was quite different. I’ve been told a violent storm arose, and a tree in the hospital yard was struck by lightning and ripped in two. But no, I promise you I’m not the antichrist.
In a perfect world, the #1 single in the charts that day would have been something by Venom or Bathory, I guess. In the real world, specifically in the UK, where life led me and where I’m now typing these words, we had George Michael’s ‘Careless Whisper’ instead (*imagine saxophone here*). It might not be ‘Witching Hour’ or ‘Hades’, but its contribution to society was admirable nonetheless. Do yourself a favour, go on YouTube and search for “Sexy Sax Man Careless Whisper Prank feat. Sergio Flores“. Or simply scroll to the bottom of this post.
If you already know where this is going, I’m sure you’re not tired of revisiting it for the umpteenth time. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, your life is about to change.
