In order to play the game, you must first understand completely that what you are dealing with is in fact... a game.

So, once I got to the desert I worked in a few casinos and now I full time it with my mother. She has Alzheimer's like nana had. Father is his same as always emotionless self... his father taught him well.

We all know deep down inside what brings us joy from a personal level (excluding hurt or pain caused to any living creature, specifically human beings). Everything else in life should coexist relevant to that from the start and all the way through to your end. You can bet your ass that ride will kick back some pretty cool memories when you get older.

AL STEWART "Time Passages"

You Can Do Magic - America (Lyrics) HQ

So, I got the M.A. in sociology and started hearing about another program. Jumped right in while racking up massive quantities of debt that I will never in two lifetimes be able to pay back. Got that M.A... never missed a class. Was involved with getting a credential when mom got sick. Mom is number one important thing. I am the only one in the family, the only one of her children who acknowledge her very existence. Now I owe... and the phone never stops ringing with people wanting to sell me things, ideas, political views. Minimalism has served me well in my continuous poverty....

Firefall - Strange Way

Once you step away from a certain and specific way of being, be prepared to have rocks thrown at you from both sides. Some of those rocks will come from people who hate you for trying, some will come from those who love you. Wear a helmet and move right along... the world needs new roads, new ways of seeing what the universe has already given to us freely.

Self talk is "an" engine that propels one in the physical world, sometimes to do really great things. But self talk can also give charge to the engine thus making it run too hot. Once the edge becomes exposed, what was once unthinkable becomes a viable option to the one taking the ride.

You should act on behalf of the whole of you before all, other, things. You should decorate it any which way, but the whole must remain exposed... it always is.

The Tubes / TV Is King (Vinyl)

It takes less than a minute for some shmo to cut into a mans work and render it useless with his words and feelings behind those words. But through that, the work will stand. The working will always fucking stand!

Old Man

Can't Find My Way Home

There are harmonies within the chambers of discontent that have the same power as a puppy dogs eyes.

Let it rain- Eric Clapton.

Better to be honestly weird than a dishonest vision of social perfection.

Boston - Peace of Mind (Audio)

So, college got me excited and one day I was walking to the truck and I stopped and looked at this pole and told myself the next time I see this pole in this way I will have finished what I started. I looked at that pole again and found another one. I never missed a class and was dug in the whole way. Finished the B.A. and started with the M.A. Never missed a class, but bailed on one because I fell off the wagon are tore one off for about a week and was shaking, desperately needing a beer... I should have died in 94.

Gerry Rafferty - Right Down the Line

I think this world needs more people taking pictures not of themselves, but of the people acting in the world around them. I think it would be nice to learn things from a whole other place.

You are a part of a pack. But the pack has no real value to each member unless each member has his own kind of flavor keeping the taste of the sauce to a good, strong, distant minimum.

Sting - This Cowboy Song (CD Fields of Gold: The Best of Sting)

There are hundreds of cognitive/social levels where someone is exposed, operating within themselves some strange deception.

One day, we will look back and see, you know, sometime along our way (probably a million times) how we could have handled things differently in our lives in certain situations. We may remember saying hurtful things to people we love and making small of it. Personal reflection should happen often, as often as possible. Because this planet we're spinning on only gives us a small amount of time to play. While were here, we should use what we know to be true so that we can all survive for a longer period of time. Because no matter what anybody says, we are all destined for the worm factory... so we might as well wish each other the best along our individual journey's and see to it no harm comes to us out of simple frustration, selfishness or fear. As humans we have room to grow, to move beyond what we were taught and think in ways that may be a little different. This kind of trajectory with words often begins appearing in twisted packages yet refined to fit the eye and what its used to.

The Steve Miller Band "Serenade"

Historically speaking, human beings have shown a great capacity to altar themselves in such a way as to be a good influence upon at least one other person. There is no greater success in this life as all parties feel the benefit... and it's lasting.

The Pretenders - My City Was Gone

A motivated, well compensated, jaded and all the way faded individual can make anything happen in the reality he creates for you.

Fly Like An Eagle

Ben Hogan Swing 1953

Understanding can only be attained from a place where understanding was once not a part of the conversation. How can one enter the room where a solution is to be proposed without an understanding that is directly related to all concerned parties? Understanding is feeling the positions of the parties themselves, not suppressing the feelings being expressed about those positions and then abandoning them based on the emotions being expressed while calling them fake or dumb or wrong. Using religion to back up a position that discounts that social flavor only adds old, warm milk to a bland, cold soup.

The Church - Under The Milky Way

Dreams (lyrics) - Fleetwood Mac

If you have the guts to show me what you feel on the inside... that's what I want to see. Take me on that ride. I wore my good pants today.

Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy (With Lyrics)

The humble man will always have a grin for you.

Bruce Hornsby, The Range - The Way It Is (Video Version)

Truth within a bundle of pretty fiction is incidental and unworthy of notice. In those pretty bundles can hide the real and contradictory truth if the people are conditioned in that way. Once this takes place and becomes the norm, everything that once was or may have been is lost and accepted as lost at the same time as part of the conditioning process.

A soul is burning when the senses are too far removed from it and are acting with no regard for it. A soul burns once it's sold and no amount of money can make it better.

Rarely is there a day when I wake and like myself. It makes the world far less attractive. study as to why people behave the way they do at the same time... super fun... especially once you realize the default state of reality is fiction and it all depends on which cartoon you want to jump in that determines your worth.

I started partying as soon as I could. I wanted to be like my brothers who were never home but when I saw them about town were always with chicks. I watched them throw parties with their friends and have great times. I would sneak a few beers in for myself as often as I could. This was high school when I began my drinking career that lasted until 2007. I have two books and could write three more about the time period between 1987 and 1994 specifically. Anyways, once I found out that the party life is just the exchange of bodily fluids with chicks who are doing the same with everyone else like you, you begin to realize how some people land jobs before others in their younger years. Usually family get people started ahead of the pack and as friendships age certain orbits change and the people in our lives change as responsibilities and "time" become highly regulated with very little time for self. I saw these people get married, have kids, get fat and bitter, and watch as their kids begin their run with technology. Besides these things, and as I watched people I knew absolutely become some of the most hypocritical bitches on the planet and how they use people so completely it made me want to vomit, I continued drinking mass quantities of beer. All the hospital emergency rooms were especially fun when the kids looking after me were making side bets as to whether I would be back dead or alive next time... Anyways, I quit college in 89 and didn't go back till 2007 where I decided to do something about... something and look into what I needed to do to get my AA degree. I didn't know how to type or what a pc was, but I heard of Microsoft. I was 36....
