No more mulligans.
You get to an age and a situation.. and you wonder if that was the last time...and you will wonder if you did that the best way...and it won't matter, because it was the last time. And, yeah. You probably did it badly.
Life in a nutshell.
Maybe acceptable prose, but not a whole lot of storybook endings.
Might even be poetic,
if you space it write.

Find The Spark.
Never let yourself forget that anything and everything can be amazing in its own way.
It doesn't have to even be something you think is a good thing.
There is amazing evil.
There is amazing beauty, of course.
As horrible as a supposedly natural disaster can be, it is still amazing.
There are amazing feats of the mind, good and bad.
Feats of strength.
Amazing failures.
Amazing wealth, and amazing poverty.
Amazing crimes.
People can be amazingly callous.
There are films that are of amazingly horrible things, but are made amazingly well.
Amazing can be the decision to do something horrible, and the decision to throw away everything to help someone in need.
You live in a world of amazement. Let it be your spark.

Life- is it a part written for you, or are you improvising?
There is this prick I see in the mirror that keeps telling me it's not creative, nor comedy, to just describe a situation that actually happened. It's infuriating to me that he doesn't realize that it is both creative and comedic to have put myself in position to actually be in that situation, and live to tell about it.

Current Landscape
Teacher says I'm smart
'cause I believe the right things
When I order chicken
I ask if these are right or left wings
I Live in the internet
I am the internet
We are the internet
I tell stories that take a lifetime to read
No edit
no beginning
no end
no need
Know Need
Know Need
Just a story teller looking
for the story someone wants to hear
Lots of things worth writing
not worth reading
Lots of songs need sang
but not heard
Lots of art needs created
Flying is not for every bird
Not every joke is funny
but if no one ever tried...
How would we know A
guy like Fernando Pessoa
after he died?
Know lots of words
don't know how to spell them
Don't know how to say them
Don't know how to use them
What planet are the Octonians from?
Sometimes I feel like a pigment
of the maninfestation

Being Human.
If you think being observed is the same as being noticed, you have already been corrupted by a dictionary. One is cold and clinical. One incites an emotion.
