Just Live Baby

Nothing comes free and easy. Nothing is as it seems. Justice is not always so just and Freedom don't come cheap. Excitement aside things aren't always as they seem. Life throws curveballs left and right. You never know what to expect. Love it or hate it all you can do is live it.

World won't wait

Final countdown has begun. In two weeks time I will cease being a twenty something. So what shall be done to mark this momentous occasion? Let's go bowling then onto my first tattoo!


Everything will change on the thirteenth of February. On that day I will go from being a grown ass man to a full blown adult (and yes there us definitely a difference I swear). So to make it even more memorable than it already is I feel a good night out is in order. Why not stay up here and just have a night out in Stockton? It's quite simple really... STOCKTON SUCKS! Instead I've opted for Lucky Strike night. Bowling booze and whatever friends are readily available and if no one can make it that's all good I'll make new pals on the alley, stranger things have happened.

sMiLe SmILE

Smile and the world smiles with you. Smile as if it's trendy. Smile because your heart is happy. Smile simply because it will make you feel much much better. Reality sets in rough sometimes smiling is simply the only way to deal, bring yourself around to the lighter side of life.


So what truly makes you laugh? Who are your favorite people to make you smile? Do you find yourself waking up in the morning still busting up from the night before? If so I say you are living a pretty good life my friend so keep it up. If not, I feel your pain and we should all work harder to find the humor in this world. The world can be a pretty messed up place, it's on us to recognize the good. Monty Python said it best "always look on the bright side of life".

You know it




Oh the power of the human imagination astounds me. We dream and create based on said dreams. We achieve so much thanks to an act that takes so little. After all dreaming a little dream can bring so many good things. I find myself dreaming BIG in hopes to achieve GREATNESS. Through great imagination comes great acts which shows the work of a great mind.

"To sleep, perchance to dream- ay, there's the rub."

@ the end of the end




Do what you will and believe the things you say. Follow through on promises and just stay true to who you are and make sure it equals out to who you say you are. This has proven harder for some then others. Many in this world find it incredibly hard to be "real" and to express their realness with others. There are many in this world who are labeled phonies, but is that necessarily a fair observation? Some may not seem real simply because their reality is nothing like yours. We all lead different lives. We all have completely different day to day interactions with this big world of ours. Just because some fool spends his day speaking of his pet puma gives me no right to just write him off as a phony ass lying bastard. You may be surprised to learn during his lunch break he volunteers at the local zoo or better still he is one of the crazies with a home full of exotic wild animals as pets. Just cuz "crazy" aunt Betty swears she not only has seen the allusive Sasquatch but has also had a sexual encounter with the creature. Yes insane to some but ya never know cousin Ronnie is unreasonably hairy and uncle Jim is completely hairless. All I'm saying never write off a person simply because they seem wild and/or over the top. Some so called crazies have proven to be creative geniuses. Don't think the crazy inside can lead to greatness? Maybe your normalcy will inevitably lead to destruction

The music speaks...

Tone melody tunes and harmonies. Life is good when you have something to listen to. Music means so much to so many. That being said it makes me wonder why there are so many in this world out to destroy the gift of music. No, not religious fanatics or the tone deaf kids on the singing competition shows.
The true assassins of the great gift are the horrible artists who invade the airwaves with their so called versions of music.



You cannot turn on the radio (satellite or free) without this noise pollution invading ears all around the country. There is a wave of artists hitting us with their so called talent and/or skillz. During the lasts days of the record industry so they imply (slumping sales, piracy, and every other excuse the industry comes up with) how is it right auto tune and weak lyrics rule the day?


The plague of bad is across the board. Rappers who bring beats not words. (check out Syllables by Eminem featuring the remaining bit of good left in the industry. The song sums up the state of hip-hop/rap quite well). Pop artists who bring the party but are amazingly light on talent (yes even worse then all the crap the 80s had to offer combined). Country crooners who have nothing real to go on about (what do 15 year olds know about love and 50 year olds know about being the life of the party). Rock has gone to the whiny bitch boys who used to not be allowed within 50 feet of the art. The macho rock god of the past has given way to the whiny teenager crying over lost love or maybe stuck tampon. (skinny jeans and baby tee aren't proper attire to rock out in. Unless you truly do own a vagina). I'd talk about jazz but who really pays attention to it anymore. Besides everyone in the genre has seemed to be the same for the last few decades. Though with the lack of mainstream attention it is probably the last refuge for a true artist to express themselves freely.
Yes it's a sad day for the state of music and it's many lovers. Alas gentle readers there is hope. From every child that picks up their first guitar, every boy and girl who sings in front of the mirror, every time someone shows real promise in their music class (before the school shuts it down for lack of funding); these are the moments that give me real hope. So anyone with any talent or at least some potential sing a little song, write a new rhyme, dance an epic dance, and dream of something greater the world depends on you for this.

alright

OK alright we get the hint. You think you are somehow special. Well you are not. You ain't fresh. You ain't bad. Just cuz you got a little bit of attention. Remember they love you now, but remember this. THEY ALWAYS FORGET, HA!
Wisdom comes in time. Age enters into the equation but its just not the same thing. Trust plenty of old folks are flat out stupid. So what are the young to do when all the oldies around them are hardly showing proper protocol when it comes to growing up. 
I'm close to certain the world is full of crazy people. They are around every corner. They are in every home and place of business. They are not just taking over they have long been in charge. Its hard to notice as we are all crazy like the rest. No one is sane. Sanity is an illusion of the mad!(mad like crazy you know how old cartoons used to speak HA!)
I swear working on a pre Superbowl Sunday leads to the strangest thoughts and/or feelings coming to mind. All i know is I'm beyond ready to be away from this place and start my freaking weekend.

The look




He's got the look that makes you stare. Gives you the eye so on his intentions you are aware. He sees straight through you exposing your soul. To him no identity can be hidden no falsehoods can go untold. He slides into town and people take notice. Everywhere he goes they know he's the dopest. You can't resist his charms his words are astounding. His personal style like no other. His swagger? He could pull your mother.
He is everything I'm not and that's ok. I'm happy with the way I am no matter what he believes. Dork, nerd, dweeb well he's asshole, dipshit, sleaze. Some assume this is cuz I'm jealous and I wish I could be like he. I say they must be dreaming for I know there can never be another ME. Why think of being someone else when I'm pretty fine with myself. Screw what he can or cannot do I'm cool just being myself.

Anger/Hate

Hate Fear Pain Ignorance Intolerance Malice Misery


These are the words that comes to mind when I think what could be in that jar. The best of the worst released from Pandora's box all those millennia ago.
Oh what poison HATE is to this world. Hate is clearly and easily the world's most negative emotion. Hate is the cornerstone to all that is wrong with this world. However no matter how strong I feel hate is there is one state that I feel outshines Hatred(hater-ade as I like to call it), and that is intolerance. Intolerance breeds hate. It causes all the negative isms in this world (racism, sexism, ageism etc). Intolerance does not allow the light of truth in. Presented with reality intolerance pushes back with hate with anger with defiance. Intolerance is a force to be reckoned with. It's taught through the generations and it takes the same time to break. Try as you might things your grand daddy fought on some level is still battling inside you; no matter what you show on the outside the interior tells the true story.

LOVE may conquer all but it's a long drawn out battle with mass casualties on both sides. Keep up the fight my brothers and sisters for there will be no Peace no Harmony without a glorious epic battle. Generations will speak of the war for humanity that is if there are generations left to speak.

Attempt at rhyme

everyday pushing through moving forward keeping on
Look all around me to find everyone is gone
They left me without help no support no fam they left me out on my own
like they don't give a damn man it's rough being out on my own no place to kick it always out just roaming gnome
Trying to find my way back to your place looking for love
Maybe just a taste of what you got I will rock like no one has done
When I'm through my love runs through you like bullets through a gun
So what will this be you and me if you just let it happen sad to say I know it's been blown cuz you just finished with my wack ass rappin
HA

Truer then True




This is why the "hip & trendy" must die. Well it's not on us to take care of them they will without fail do it to themselves. So being as far away from hip trendy and/or fashionable as I am one thing comes to mind "I am moving to to LA? Por que!". It's the land of dreams, of opportunity, and unfortunately Gigantic Jackasses. Fortunately for me I've honed a dipshit avoidance technique that has done me well over the years. So many little tricks I've implemented to avoid drama; I am most definitely looking forward to trying it all out in a new location. Change will do a mind body and soul good.

Today or Tomorrow

Face the day as if there is no tomorrow....
So what will today bring? Anything on the agenda of what must be done anywhere near as crucial as equality? What is the measure of success when it comes to human rights? Some have strived farther then others. Watching a news report on what is similar about all 900 MLK jr Boulevards (besides the name of course) shows no matter how much things change often still they remain the same. Think about it, if anyone of your friends tell you they are lost and currently find themselves stranded on Martin Luther King jr BLVD what advice do you give them? That's right you tell them to get the hell off that street. It doesn't matter the city or state it just isn't the place you'd want to be(unless born and raised on the damn street, of course in that case you dream of getting out but often that never happens).
So as a product of the DREAM come true let me say this...

There are more dreams to be had!
Yes, the community the original dream was about has come a long way. Hell, a once thought impossible act came true in the last presidential election. The question I ask is why hasn't the dream been expanded. We have groups of people who get their rights denied on the daily, but we act as if it's not quite to as important.
Mental illness is still looked upon as the plague of the weak minded like it's still 1940. Yes we say we have come so much further, but have we really? No we don't strap them to tables and shock them anymore(so they say), but loading someone up with pills and sending them on their way isn't a treatment it's doping plain and simple.
Day in and day out homosexuality is still treated as a plague a curse or an unspoken unpleasantry. So day by day the more they speak of wanting to marry what do we do? Sweep them away with scripture or "moral" judgements. We are all about love and respect, but since their love is different then we refuse them the right to express their feelings to the world through a publicly recognized marriage.

Today is decent let's make tomorrow GREAT!
We as a country have come a long way in the battle for equal rights equal treatment equal EQUALNESS, but I say we can all do more. Be it today or tomorrow(titular line so pay attention HA!) change is still needed and progress still to come. We are dominating the battles against hate but believe me
the WAR has not yet been WON

FrIeNdShIp fRiEnDsHiP

How many people do you call friend? Are you a super open person who would deem most acquaintances friends? Maybe you are a little more careful with your feelings and only allow few important people into your life?




Whatever the case no matter the person friendships are an important part of the human existence. Where would you be without your friends? It's more then the fear of loneliness that drives us all together. At times you may feel it's best to be alone, but so often that is the wrong path to take. Often we need the interactions, the adventures, the all around good times only our friends can give.
So the question is do the ones you call FRIEND think the same of you? Or better yet, do you do all you can to make the ones you call friends feel appreciated and loved to the utmost. If not maybe you should. If you dont feel like it, well I guess you deserve to be alone you selfish bastard. HA!

World wide open


Rush around to see what will be. Each passing day a reminder that you haven't gotten to where you are going. The travel is hectic and the pace fluctuates from brisk to dead hour to hour. whatever it takes you must do. This move is what is needed to reveal the most true you

Not getting me

Try as you might you aren't going to suck me in. Hard as it is to stay level I refuse to tumble down to your level. You may have a worldly power at your side I have help from the ultimate power on High!


Ever felt like you are being forced to endure a soul sucking experience. Like each day is a battle and there never seems to be a winning side. Ever wonder why you bother to get up in the morning because in the end the day is going to make you beg for sweet release by the cold hand of death? If you say yes to any of those things then I know exactly where you are working. Lifes a bitch then you die and somewhere along the way you are forced to deal with pettiness stupidity and all around bitch assery... All I can say is keep your head up and keep pushing forward. Eventually you will find the end of that rainbow and the skittles at the end will definitely be worth it.

Horror show, fright fest, danger all around. Only one thing left to do. Hit the open road and be on our way. Have an idea of where we are going, but no idea which route to take to get there. So I'm going with the flow seeing where the road takes me, I have a direction all picked out just sitting back and enjoying the ride. So a toast to the open road the highways and interstates, the hitchhikers and whores, the homeless and the RVing retirees. The stories they have to tell, the horrid stories and their own personal hells. The uppers and downers to control your sleep and any and everything that makes you feel weak. Cheers to the open road cuz this boys gotta go!

Peace out bitches til next time

Life will be just fine, if you learn to LOVE the RIDE

Ride or Die, that's one way to live. Do what you gotta do is my personal philosophy. Live and let live, love and love HARD. Hate, don't have time for it! Honestly just think about how much time people waste on hating someone or something. Where does it get you? I don't understand why hate still runs so strong in the modern world.
The world is full of people with different upbringings, cultures, religions, and points of views. That being said why get irritated when someone doesn't feel the same as you; or has a completely opposite point of view? Guess I'm just naive, but always subscribed to the school of kill them with kindness. The thing is no one recognizes kindness definitely can kill them all and do it swiftly. Either it will end the drama or it may just cause it to move on. All I know is I'd rather be nice and happy then bitter and hate filled.

Year of the PUNKASS!

That's right it's 2011 and bitchassness will run rampant. The streets will flow with the juice of uber-douches. Yes be prepared, between Jersey Shore, Steven Tyler on Idol, every Kardashian working hard to extend the 15 minutes of fame started by one of them having sex on camera with the Price of Douches (sorry Ray J, Joe Francis & Kanye West will forever be the king and queen).


And the ultimate in punk ass insanity... A movie about a man who created a site (modeled after many other sites) is looking to take home all the glory during this years award season. Only caping off a stellar year where the same man was Time magazine's MAN of the YEAR (of course I ask for what? The site was not original and all it does is hook young people into thinking that friendships are defined by number of "wall posts" and for us grown folk the site sells off all our personal info to the highest bidder) Yes we are due for a great year. The trick is not to let the punks get to you.

Mass Exodus

People flee and scurry they've gotta get away. No one knows what's giving chases all they know is they must evade. Head for the hills some just duck and cover. Others decide to face their fates in the arms of their lover. All hell has broken loose, minds are completely lost everyone everywhere feels that the state of the world has been tossed. Ocean to ocean sea to sea, everyone is losing their mind..... Well everyone else but me. Don't know what it is, I just stay cool calm and collected. My instinct to flee has been incredibly neglected. Problem is I should get out at times, but my mind doesn't know that a quick exit would be the best course of action to go. So what to do with a person who refuses to get rattled even when they should.

Friendly Faces

Smiling faces are what they are meant to be. Things presented to disguise the truth. Yes we would all love to believe that the smiles are signals of our humor doing it's job or our personalities shining through. Sadly this isn't always the truth, for you see this world is riddled with fake ass people. To the left to the right false personalities surround us. How can we alleviate the world of this problem? Simply really, we must all vow to true people 24/7. Think you can handle it?

Whatever works

Time is money, so why should making good money take RIDICULOUS time? I mean whats so wrong earning a "quick" buck? After all you spend it fast might as well earn it fast too. Now we all know money is the route of all evil, but do you know what the root of all misery is? That's right, not having enough MONEY no matter how evil it maybe.

Shit my wife comes up with

OK I definitely love my wife as she is a huge inspiration to my creative side. You see at several points in my day my loving wife comes up with random words, phrases & stories just off the top of her head that springs forward a full blown play between her and I which ends with laughter and hugs. This has been a common occurrence since the beginning and I feel it's high time I document some of it. Here is some of her latest

A man went to go touch his wife. She said "Don't touch me!". He asked why. She said because it's against my religion. He asked "What in the hell is your religion?". She turned to him and said "Sadomasochism". He looked at her for a second confusion all over his. Then he reared back and punched her in the face..... She was PLEASED!

Here is a word we came up with many years ago during the Vegas years:
stabbitable
- when somone upsets you so much you can see stabbing & biting them at the same time


Often she comes up with things that simply can't be explained. What man reading this can say while laying in the bed with their wife/girlfriend/fiancee they have had her turn to him and say with a laugh, "Babe I could so REVERSE DONKEYPUNCH you" . Now anyone who knows what a donkeypunch is should be confused, as I was upon hearing the idea of it being reversed. Simply put instead of punching the person from behind to the back of the head, you instead decide to hit them square in the butt hole. That's right knuckles straight to the anus. Frightening I know, now imagine this idea being explained to you with laughter. This idea has become a proud moment for her, and a reason for me to sleep with one eye open. Of course I'm kidding I don't fear the reverse donkey I mean who wants to go into someone's butt with knuckles. We both laugh because we know one day a new aged Jenna Jameson or Katie Morgan wanna be will be doing it in the next vivid release haha.
So as you can tell I'm a happy and lucky man and thanks to my wife I will NEVER run out of material.

Visualization is Key




**** The plan is in full swing. Going to end my 20s with a full on SoCal bang. Go to work on my birthday (yes, people at my job actually DO go to work on their Birthdays) then head down to LA for a good old scouting adventure. Capped off with a brand spanking new tattoo (my 1st for those counting). I figure what better way to enter full blown grown folks land then with a Tattoo to symbolize me still fighting nightly to hang onto my youth. ****This is going to be an awesome birthday weekend. Why not go big? Had an awesome final Xmas of my twenties so it only natural that I should follow it up with an amazing 1st birthday of my thirties. So this is a notice to all SoCal bound friends as well as all SoCal residing buddies. D is coming to LA and me and the wifey are going to rip shit up to celebrate another year of life. Don't forget people, I'm coming and FUN is coming with ME!

MONEY RULES THE WORLD.....MO' MONEY MO' PROBLEMS....CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME (C.R.E.A.M.)......


The time has come for straight cash money... Everyday is about earning and saving from here on out. No needless spending no flashing of the dough. No, building up the bank account until it damn near explodes is the only plan. Some may see it as shallow others may see it as meaningless; yes I know "Material things aren't important" and "Money doesn't bring happiness". Now to those people I say give me your money and let me decide how happy it's made me.


Now how to make the money is the ultimate question. Honestly, there is no shame in honest hard work, I'll do whatever it takes to make an honest buck (honest is the only way to go. No drugs, No hoes, No hits, No counterfeiting, No racketeering, No illegalities of any nature). So it's time to see what 2nd 3rd or 4th gig I can get to max out my earning potential. Ok let's be honest I'm never going to work more then 2 jobs and one would have to be a weekend only situation. Also I refuse to do the food service industry ever again.... Ok a few exceptions will apply what they are I don't know; I guess I know them when I see them. I'm ready to provide for myself and my family. We have expensive tastes and rather then change them I'd rather just fulfill them.

What's the hold up

painful attempts at self expression are indeed just that.... Painful ya know like I just said. What makes it most difficult is when people really don't get where I'm coming from. I know I can lose the masses in my inane chatter. Yet still I chatter on. Why you may ask? It's really quite simple, I am a voice in this world and I demand to be heard. I have decided to raise my voice high (of course by voice I mean writing as I'm not a man of many words) as to be heard by all who are willing to listen (or read as it were). So for anyone bothering to read thank you and keep up the good work, and to all those not reading. What's wrong with you, get on board the glorious ride that is my mind you punk ass bitches! Oh, did I insult you? Well who cares you aren't reading this anyway fucker haha!

Music

No matter who you are no matter what you do for a living music is a world uniting force. Music brings us together. Musical debates though can tear us apart. Music is an amazing tool, an instrument for change. Too bad the modern music era is a tragic example of the art form. Modern music is more about catchiness than substance. Good beats trumps good lyrics everyday. And I say this trend must stop.

Conversations had by someone somewhere

Hey, we need to talk.
What's up?
Something major has just come up and I really want you in on it.
Ok, let it rip.

Just wanted to get you prepared to talk at a later date.
Well that makes no real sense.
Hey, I just didn't want to spring this on you without warning.
Ok well now I've been warned, so what is it?
The timing is off now I'll tell you on Thursday.
