Keyboard

Writing thru blurry eyes. To be honest I don't even know why they are blurry. Probably too much to drink. The bottle is never far out of reach. In the words of my homie Kid Cudi, "im in the pursuit of happiness and I know; everything that's glitter ain't always gonna be gold..... I'll be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine once I get it....... I'll be gooooooooooooaoooood." You can't make everybody happy no matter how hard you try. Yes I am talking to you ladies. You will be the death of us. Men we should ban together and dig a gigantic whole and fill it with bitches. Real Talk.

But fa real. You show me a female who know's what she wants and I will give you the secret to life (shhhhhhh). NEWS FLASH! Neither exist! You can't win for losing... or win for... however the fuck that saying goes if it is even one. Anyway, where was I? Oh yea, you white devils. HA! Only kidding. Am I writing a stand up skit right now. NOPE. I'm drunk. I'm glad you could be here on this journey with me. I think she got jealous because I'm in love with you Keyboard. Oh hush keyboard, she was not trying to steal me from you. I was too quick to call muse, I get that. However, don't tell me you weren't fooled as well.OH PLEASE, you totally took a sip of that JUICE! I'm done with you keyboard if you can't be honest with me.

Unfortunately the keyboard is my only outlet. So you must bear with me folks

Light or Darkness?

So you stand there in the darkness with your arm outstretched desperately grasping for that dangling string with a trinket on the bottom. Finally it catches your hand and you feel comfort. You give it a slight tug and the bulb above your head sparks to life. You bask in the glow of this familiar light and casually navigate your way from the closet out into the world again

Ideally this works most of the time, all of the time. However, it doesn't always happen that way. There are those that reach and grab the trinket on their first swipe; and then there are those that wave their hand wildly, narrowly missing the trinket, over and over again. They are stuck in the closet. 

So every morning they wake up and grasp for that string and trinket only to ultimately fail destined to wake up and try again. Then one day their arm starts to get tired.... and more tired......and more tired. Then they say fuck it, I'm going to take today off and not try and grab shit (for all they are a rabbit chasing a carrot being waved in their face). They get back to reaching and still no trinket so they take another day off. Soon those days start to add up. To the point where they're trying every now and then. Eventually they stop trying all together and they live in the darkness feeling helpless, alone, frustrated, pissed off. I favor it to being thrown into the "hole" while in prison (as portrayed in the movies). The mind starts playing little tricks on them. Saying things like, "its really dark in here, there must be another way out". And then they start to agree: "There does have to be another way out". Now they're all distorted, groggy and sleep deprived, on the verge of madness. Then their mind says, "We can't go on like this man, what are we doing"? So the mind makes the suggestion: "let's end this foolishness". Now I'm going to end it right there.

If you find your self in a dark closet, do us all a favor and continue to reach for that light regardless of how many whiffs you make. You may not get it on your first try but that bulb ain't going nowhere. You can grasp that trinket and string on any given reach. Once in your grasp, give it a slight tug, bulb come on, you exit the closet into the world where everybody has been waiting for you and fuck some shit up. Real talk.

Stay up Deh

I gotta do it. This is me doing it. You're welcome.This is for you........ I often question my actions and those of others. I constantly check and make sure it's not ME that's completely off my rocker. That being said all you stupid motherfuckers that are not capable conversation without storming out and committing larceny. Boom! Straight out of left field. But fa real this really just happened.

I had recently had a person over at my house, who shall remain unnamed, who proceeded to argue with me without either leg to stand on. It reached a point where the wall had a better chance of making a coherent argument. Now if you know me, than you know I'm not one to shy away from a good banter. However, I draw the line at a certain point. If you don't know what you are talking about or are out of your depth, please.... for all parties involved keep your dumb ass trap shut. And if you feel offended when I say "I can't have a conversation with stupid", it's not okay to steal my friends' vehicle. 

I love life and the people that enter and rapidly exit it. They also keep the fire going. So thank you in advance to those idiots that have yet to come.
