Who are these people? I don't even know who half of them are. Do they even realize where they are? Shit. I knew something like this would happen. These two worlds can never mesh cohesively. James would make it work though. I wish he were here, he would just slide in smoothly making sure mom's friends and his friends were getting along and just to rile things up probably slip in a conversation that would be sure to make mom and dad shit themselves. God I love that kid.

Look at this crowd; I never thought I'd see this happen. High class people hangin out with gutter punks like us. Kinda makes me wish I had a suit, not really. Ha! Me in a suit, the simple fact that I'm in a tie should be good enough. Some of the guys could probably pull it off, but me? No way. Oh, well time to find everyone. Is that James' sister? I think I'll go introduce myself.

God why am I here? James and I just met not two weeks ago, and he never could get my name right. Then again a lot can happen in one short week. Especially in a town like this, time seems to move slower here, maybe it’s the cliques. Everyone talking just to their circle, never really taking the opportunity to meet those below them. People like me.

How did James ever meet these people? I knew I should have sent him to college out of state. Somewhere Ivy League, where McCanny's truly belong. Too late now. I've lost him to the dregs, to the outcasts, how could I have ever have chased him away like this? How could I have been so foolish?

Nice place. Too bad it’s full of pricks. Oh well at least I got to pull my suit out for the occasion. Man what I would give to be able to twist the sticks these old farts have up their asses. This isn't really the place to do that though, just not right considering. Now where could a man find a drink to ease the mingling process?

Oh buddy there's a lot of people here. I think it'd still be best to let everyone settle before I begin. James sure has been gone a long while now, and no one expected him to come back like this. But then again he did say that when he came back he'd be bringing friends home. I just don think he meant it like this. Well I guess I had better get things stated.
"Friends, family, and loved ones, we are here today to celebrate the life, of young James McCanny..."

iconoclast much?
this is a great line:
