Advice Anyone?

i've found myself in a life that i recognize occasionally. i mean, working at starbucks was never meant to be the crowning achievment. i would say that i'm discontent but that's not really the case. i'm fucking bored. my lady friend/girlfriend is still kick ass but besides her; her incredible mind and body (can't forget body), the rest of life is slow. so this post is meant for advice. i'm accepting advice from those who have time to read this shit. tell me what i should do...................Anything.

i miss you all.

sleep

time dances acrouss my eyelids
gravity pulls my eyes toward earth
the world whispers no words
as my thoughts swim against the current

please go to sleep

a poem a day

A friend of mine recently suggested that I write more often. I told him that I would and here begins the journey. However, this friend was very specific about the type of writing that's acceptable. I have to write poems and they can be great or shitty or anywhere in between but poems nevertheless.

i miss my mommy (ode to the parentals)

i can still remember the moment that i felt like i needed to get the hell out of my parents home. that irrational desire for freedom without every questioning all that it might mean. sixteen and sure of myself, i knew that my parents were holding me back from everything that i was to become. only if i could get the hell out of this house i would think to myself...well i got out and it sucks. i never expected adulthood to be so shitty. in no way do i want to live with my parents but it would be cool to not pay rent, car insurance, utilities and so forth for a few months. who knew, who fucking knew. they knew- those assholes, shit i miss them.

Party People in the Place to Be

So, i'm very very very very tired of political party lines. At one point in this country will we stop the intense party loyalty. I much rather smart men and women to take an issue and make a smart decision. I figure that is asking way to much of Americans? We are more excited this week about Micheal Phelps winning the gold in Beijing than we are about real problems facing our nation.

I am a American, my faith allows me to trust that regardless of the next president everything will be fine eventually. But, let us please make decisions based on important issues to our families, not based on party lines, race, age, gender or speech. I trust that you my friends will choose the best candidate in relationship to your own situation.

Be smart, loving, kind and humble to each other...we are all still Americans.

Exact Randomness

i have a job interview. hooooray!!!!!! ok, i know black people typically do not use the word hooray but that is how excited i am at this moment. i guess we do at times (red stripe commercials? youtube it.) however, this job is at a private career college in costa mesa. the irony comes into play when understanding that a career is something that has eluded me for the past year. but hopefully after next week the chase will forever be over. i'm actually ecstatic about helping adults find their way back into education. neither parent of yours truly ever managed to finish jr. high and i think this is why we were so poor during my childhood. it stills seems a bit awkward explaining basic english principles to people twice my age. i just can't wait for one of my future students to openly dismiss my entire lesson plan.....placing doubt in the minds of all his/her peers. my response to that will simply be...fuck you old man you should have done this years ago. ok, i will not say that but i will post it on a blog later and all us young hooligans will get a laugh at old people such as John McCain. speaking of politics.....georgia attacks russia, russia responds and now it is america's business. this is why i'm starting to take all my political cues from team america, bill o'reily, rush limbaugh and paris hilton. now these people are true americans who actually give a damn about the plight of black people in this country. change we can believe in, whatever, what about one night in paris (inappropriate reference to a bad sextape). i only referenced the sextape because i live in southern california, the meca of the sextape. i'm thinking about making one, i'm sure it will help me get a job much quicker around these parts. ohhhhh how i miss simple texas- guns, hippies, meth, open racism, trailer parks, flat land, beer, art six, state fair, beer, six flags, pot, jazz, friends and beer. love you all and goodnight
