Loose notes on the Back to the Future Trilogy

                              Hurt people hurt people, or just everyone is hurt so people hurt people. Upon riding my little red riding hood bicycle one late- summer afternoon, I was surprisingly struck by a car and an implacable sense of nostalgia and well- being. When I awoke the year was 1955, and my mother (in her formative years) was wiping a warm cloth across my forehead. She was a very attractive woman, with chiseled feminine features including her forehead and cheekbones. Naturally I felt a tad awkward that my mother and I were in the same age spectrum and that she would quickly have the hots for me, (it was all pretty heavy), due to some unexplained gravitational pull ( you the reader in the midst of 1955 would have to travel thirty years in the future to fathom this unexplainable slang). So anyway in the midst of my desperation, wandering around my hometown thirty years before my time , I decided to go find my only friend who could help me get Back to The Future, Doc Emmitt Brown.
                                Dad was always a peculiar fellow, with a surprisingly uncanny resemblance to Crispin Glover. He was originally, genuinely to the type  of guy who went to bed early and laughed too easily at a bad joke. Little was I to know that these obervations and evaluations were not to be set in stone. For his future and my destiny were all about to change.( I don't know if you're ready for this but your kids are gonna love it). And one more thing upon leaving 1955 mom asked me, " Marty, George offered to take me home", and " Marty, that's such a nice name", ya know Puppy Dog Shit. But then I concluded with a clincher,"one more thing, if you guys ever decide to have kids, and one of them accidently sets fire to the living room rug, go easy on him.", My dad George bashfully smiled with disbelief, but my mom Elaine from that point on was to know that my dad George Mcfly was the one. 
                           Biff Tannon was always an angry confused young man, these untamed qualities also would lead to even more uneccessary obstacles later in life. For example he was a victim of lust, stupidity, envy, and domestic abuse. He also acquired an embarrassing ability to quote a dated saying wrong, just missing the punch, for example, "Hey Mcfly why Don't you make like a tree and get out of here", or "That's just about as funny as a screen door on a battleship", the young man Biff would eventually get what was coming to him, even after his brief triumph as "The Luckiest Man Alive", status he would obtain in the sequel titled, "Back to The Future Part 2",
                    Alike everything else the apocalyptic End-piece to the life -changing trilogy finishes with a hallow thud. As doctor Emmitt Brown finds true-love in a pre-Ted Danson Mary Steenburgen.
