It was a nice fall after afternoon, when lead singer of Southern Soul, Robert, (Bobcat) Lopez, decided to wake up a little early then usual, since it was Friday. You see, Bobcat works the midnight shift at a local Adult daycare, so most of his day is spent asleep getting rest. Today however, it was alittle bit different. He was off the next day; there was great weather outside, and he had just boughten a new digital camera, which he couldn't wait to try out. A quick run through the shower, alittle change in underwear and clothes; Bobcat grabbed his vehicle keys and headed off to break in his new digital gear. First stop ofcourse, was the local Drive Thru, (Rio Bravo) - which I must state from first hand expierence, has the coldest and cheapest Natty Lights, (Natural lights for you folks who don't understand Lunatic jargon) in town. After receiving the goods from the window, Bobcat quickly wrapped that cold sucker into the Mexican Koozie; ( more Lunatic jargon; thats the little brown bag the stores supply to keep them 24 ozers cold longer), and cracked the sucker open. Taking his first sip of the cold Natty Light, Bobcat thought it would be a good idea to stop at his mother in laws house, since they have a beautiful yard full of nice greenery. I don't mean the greenery you smoke, (although, Grandma has been know to smoke a toke or two, occansionally), but the the trees and plants that grow among the surrondings of their humble homestead. Grandma's liar, is located just half a block north of the old Weslaco City Cemetry. For those local Weslacoians, that know this place - it was a hang out to alot of us older headbangers in our old high school days, who seeked to get drunk and try to call upon the spirits that have pasted on to the other side.
Knocking on Grandma's door - nobody seemed to be home. No problem, Bobcat thought. I'll just skadoodle on to the back yard and start snapping some pictures. As Bobcat walked south toward the back yard, he aimed his camera at the branches above. This is the first picture he took.
Not bad he thought. Maybe, I can capture a close up of some insects on the tree branches. As he looked around, he found a dragonfly, snoozing on a nice cuddley tree stick. The dragonfly's ass was up in the air, so Bobcat figured he take a snap shot of this whore of a dragonfly. Snap - this is the next picture he took.
Hmmm he thought. Let me see if I can get a close up of this nice "fly ass". Click - the next one was right on the money maker.
Suddenly, there was a cool breeze and Bobcat paused for a second. He began to look at the sky. The clouds were racing just above the cemetery horizon. Thinking back a second, to his younger days when he use to hangout inside the cemetery gates; Bobcat thought of all the crazy drunkened seances they attempted at numerous gravesites of the city cemetery. Fuck that shit! Bobcat thought - so he continued and tried to get a different angle of this damn dragonfly thingy. Click went the next 2 photos, and the sky began to take shape.
The breeze continued to hum, and Bobcat got a weird sense that someone was looking down upon him. He quickly thought about the Natty Light, he was drinking. Damn - he thought, maybe its a super old fermented beer and thats gotten extra strong. Maybe that would explain the weird feeling he was experierencing. He quickly checked the born on date, located on the bottom of all 24 oz cans that Anheuser Busch manufactures. "October 05, 2006", read the stamp. Damn? thought Bobcat. Thats just 10 days old. Before calling it quits, Bobcat took his final snap shot - this time aiming directly over the sky that lied directly over the city cemetry. There, he thought. Thats it. Im out of here !; and so, was the end of his first venture with his new digital camera. Little did he know, what he captured. This was later discovered as he uploaded the pictures onto his computer. Remember - this can be left to your own interputation. These photos are untouched and altered. We have circled the second version of this last photo just to show some of the more distinct faces we see. This though, be no means are the only faces of people on the photos. Like we said before, each person might see different things. Take a look for yourself and let us know what you think. Happy Halloween 2006!!!!!
#1. Most of us agreed that this is a face of a man, with a frown and possibly a tear off his left eye. #2. A woman with a scar on her left cheek. #3. None other than Satan himself. #4 Ironically - above Satan is a mother dressed in a robe, holding a child wrapped in a blanket. Possibly the Virgin Mary with Baby Jesus.
