The Brave One

Identity Parade

All I want to know
Is how did I get so fucking lucky?
Hey A#3 stop being a jerk,
Yeah, Whatever isn't going to get you far.
The crystal ball says "If you ask them to dinner
Don't fuckin' make them pay for
Their own meal." If you want them to,
Then you say let's go dutch. Okay?

(00000) I heard someone from the City
Reported that the huggin' tree was
Diseased and dead
And had to be chopped down.
Good.
One less thing that reminds me of,
Well....bullshit you invented.

And you, CP30 took me for a walk,
Oh,you sure talked the talk.
Let me be the first to toss
Rose petals at the lovely couple.
Don't let her know all those green backs
Aren't really yours.

Let me think, yes then there's 007,
You got something going for you
At least your up front about things
You know what I'm talkin' bout.
Could you just pick a side
And stay with it.
Heard you only had 4 years or so left

Hey N, thanks for the treadmill
Now at least when I spend my life
running and getting nowhere
I got something to show for it.

Wanda, I always thought
pink looked good on you.
Is Mike still there?
He's gotta be getting old.

I always bail at the last minute
so, Black and White I got nothin'
for you. You have at a minumum,
WOW... 21 people who think your great.
I'm not worried about you being
Left out.

This is Sounding Off
just well....Sounding Off.

To Whom It May Concern:
89% Test
See if I hold the fucking door
for the Teach when he's got
Taco Bell in one hand
and Subway in the other.

Oh DEd, I didn't forget you!
You wouldn't really sell
the HUMMER. Would You?

Things be gone

Wonderful things they are. Garage sales. Why do we keep all the crap we do, I mean what is the point. I have been selling stuff, donating things for about 4 months. Getting rid of things actually feels good. It's scary at first, but then it grows on you. 2 more big items went this week. Not that they are necessarily BIG, but they connected me to the past, but now they are gone. Yes, the big wicker chair I bought with my graduation money. Loved that chair, sold it. You know it just won't fit in the U-Haul of my life. Second item. A star fish. Oh, not any old star fish but a real one I got in Seattle. I had to pull it off the rock, (it was alive) of course then I didn't know the smell would be so bad. Kept it in the car, under the car, at lastly it came home in the suitcase. It smelled nasty, but this star fish made it. Today it left in the trash truck. You know I am a little emotional about it, but on the other hand it had as many bad memories as it did good.

Bye Mr. Starfish

Story telling

He's all of just 8 years old, but speaks with thoughts and words of someone much older. As we are driving along in the car he is discussing the movie we just saw. He is vibrant and energetic. Then, as he is describing a part in the movie, he says "You know (OOOOO) would have liked that one part, you know if he loved us like he use to love us, I would tell him him about it, and we would laugh together."

Then silence. Vibrant, energetic stops in a slit second.

Potential Energy

He opens the door, "Hey what's going on?"
"Hi, not much, got an A on my test!", I reply.
His office has a welcoming feel to it,
like home, comfortable.
A place for understanding.
I slip off my sandals and sit cross legged
in a large overstuffed couch,which engulfs
my whole being.
"Things must be going well,
there seems to be a consistency
in your attitude!" he exclaims as he sits down.

Smiling, I say "You know, I just want to tell you
how much I appreciate how you've guided me through
a difficult time in my life."
He leans forward and says, "We all struggle
with things in our lives. Some keep it to themselves, and others like yourself, have the ability to vocalize,
communicate, openly express what's on their mind.
When you come upon something challenging in your life,
you put it in your hand, turn it over, question it and
want to know all there is to know about it."

I nod my head and smile as he dispenses
his perception of me.
He continued, "You are authentic and open, and those
who are not, have difficulty with this."
"Tell me about it!" I exclaim.
He laughs, leans back in his chair and runs his hand through his hair.
"You know, fundamentally we're all a bunch of nut cases,
so next time you begin to judge or analyze someone,
try to remember that!"
Laughing,I slip on my sandals and stand up.
"You've seen me during my best and worst times haven't ya!" I exclaim.
and before I could say another word, he replied,
"Yeah, and your harmless!"
I just shake my head and laugh.
"Later genius" he says smiling.

Round Two

Well I came out swinging in Round 2!
Physics is not going to kick my ass!
I got the scores from my next test and I got a 90%!
The neighbor asked me when I sleep
because the light is always on.
I told him sleep was over rated
and there would be plenty of time for that,
in my many years ahead.
I have learned that an important thing for me
is my power of choice..my option to feel how I chose to feel,
do whatever I choose to do
and be whomever I choose to be.
Life lives on the tip of my tongue.
Things go well because I say so.
Unfortunately,
the opposite is also true.

Knock Out Punch

Sorry for the many blank spots lately.
I'm taking a Physics class that is trying to kick my ass.
You notice I said trying?
Test#1 kicked my ass, but Test#2 I put the gloves on and came out fighting.
After studying until 4am every morn.
(There's your answer to what I'm doing up late every night)
I got an A.
Right now, in my mind-the touchdown celebration dance.
You know what I'm talking about!

Another test tomorrow, fall asleep with book in my hands tonight.
It's worth it, trust me.
