Long Road

We've all done it before. We've all felt it before. The simple burn that resonates when the truth, isn't exactly what we know.

It's hard for me to think of a time or day or place where I could find a way to justify cheating or shortcutting something/someone. It's hard for me to agree with that. I do however fear this feeling, and I don't think this ever is or ever will be any kind of "truth" to me.

This is my chance to be very to the point. Sometimes it's best to take the long road home.

Love will find a way

Let it work, actively...

Work out an answer

Never before has it been more evident to me that I need to do something. That something is everything but it might just be nothing.

 

Ever since I was young, I never found it advantageous to force the issue on things that I really wanted. Much of that is making sure you are absolutely prepared for whatever it is your getting yourself in to. I’m making it my goal to try and transform and recreate what it means to be fully prepared.

 

 

And so in the spirit of that, I’m willing to say that I no longer have a year to figure out what I really want to do with my time and yours. Total preparation doesn’t come before choice, sometimes you need to just go off what you already know and thrive off your instinct. Not merely on impulse but more so on what you know is “the right thing”.

 

Mookie did it, I’m not sure why you can’t do the same.

 

“I just woke up but I’m still not sure

I thought it would have taken the grey to color

Can’t change what you don’t really know

But you can create what you can change

Work out an answer”

Whys it always gotta, feel like rain?

Alright, Alright

It's been some time and for a reason. Last time I checked in, Rockstar's and Pike Place was flowing through my veins and aside from that, something somewhat special changed, or happened for that matter. I am coy about this change, so maybe ask me sometime.

Bringing me to my completely unrelated point. It's this: it has become readily apparent that things just aren't as fun when they work.

I like the idea of having to slap some greece onto your faulty chains to keep plugging. A pit stop sounds good every once in a while. I like the taste of bitter, just a simple indication that the sweet is somewhere, slowly behind. But there's movement. It's coming.

However, I don't think it has to come. Static is possible and is sometimes all too real. I find it easy to hit that groove, and kick up your feet and be satisfied with GOOD.

I'll let Kanye disagree ("giving up is way harder than trying"), but take with you the strength in knowing you can fall asleep and hit the ground running 8 hours later, regardless of where you are in your battle.

Breathe on, feel the wind. Today doesn't have to be like yesterday, but yesterday can also be the power in knowing that today is better, and tomorrow, will agree.

Getting off the island...

I'm tired and I have a lot to share by way of blog but i just need to get this out while i still have my sensibilities pre-finals week.

we're all really just on an island finding a way to get off,

the guy who cuts you off on the 10, the woman who doesn't know if your in line at starbucks but cuts in front anyway without a word, and the guy who doesn't clean up after himself on someone elses terms...

everyone is trying to find a way off

theres two ways to do it:

you either find a way to 1.) build a boat for one or 2.) build a radio to get everyone home

in a non-Jehovah way, i'm workin on building a radio

much love,

Check your ingredients...

Let me start by saying it would be hypocritical for me not to root for the other guy, so i'm rooting for the other guy.

Thats the groundwork. I wanna be quick, like the chocolate milk, and i wanna be succinct so i'll get right to the point: the only thing real about advertising, is the reality that nothing about advertising is real.

Institutions under the pretenses of morality, service, leadership, and character somehow find a way to, in their advertising and fund raising approaches resort to immorality, disservice, compliance, and dishonesty. (These institutions can be schools, non-profit businesses, healthcare, legal practices, etc.)

 

So for you who find it easy to slap on "a fake ass facade that [you] can't keep up", check your ingredients, before you overdose.

(the love is still there, i just had to get this off my mind, i hope you feel what i feel.)
