Funky Drummer Son
Waiting alone at the train station the other night there was this old stuttering guy who kept staggering around and acting like a dumb ass. So I decided to leave because my night was ruined. I went walking around aimlessly for a long while searching for meaning, for purpose, for a thrill. I came upon an old underground juke joint that had all these dancers and real big shot types. There were also a few questionable street toughs sitting along the bar. I played some pool and bought a cigarette from the bathroom attendant. Walking alone again I felt like one of the dogs from that movie with the voices of Robert Redford, Michael J. Fox and Rosie O'Donnell I believe they were called Shadow, Chance, and Sassy. What wonderful names. Far from home or some shit. Then I went to the all night burrito place to calm my nerves. This table of nerds was arguing the fate of the universe and then this girl sat down and very enthusiastically ordered some Chorizo. She was Beautiful. Blond and voluptuous, I was instantly attracted. I approached shyly and asked her to go on a date. She was excited. I was nervous but it did not show. I felt really confident and cool. Like those movie guys. Harrison Ford and shit. What's up ladies? I am here to ask you not to harass you. If you know what is up then you know I am talking to the Chorizo girl.

That's Right Get It
Well it's too early to call yet but it would appear I have fallen behind in the Blogvember department. It's okay though I still have time to turn this boat around. On the way to the harbor I wanted to tell you about how for the last five days in a row I have gotten out of bed before six in the morning. You would not believe all the stuff you can get done in the morning. From bills to chores to laundry and floors, in the morning you can truly do it all. In a way its like adding an extra four hour block to your day that you otherwise would not have had. I am waking up early with an axe to grind. Kicking ass in the morning and kicking more ass in the evening. Not sure how long this little sleep schedule will last but in the meantime is suits me just fine. Also I wanted to bring up the notion that old people don't necessarily enjoy getting up early. I have come to believe that it is actually the fact that they physically cannot stay up late anymore that they just pass out and then by default just so happen to wake up early. I feel great but in some ways I feel like an old man. You guy's keep me young man.
I offer these tips to getting up early.
1. Go to bed early (millions of old people can't be wrong)
2. Get out of the house (you must transcend simply getting out of bed)
3. Workout outside in the freezing cold alone and with a vendetta (BallHard)
4. Drink a 20 oz columbian coffee a glass of chocolate milk a five hour energy and two bananas (The Dale Fanella Breakfast at 711) about $8.50 (That's Right Get It)
5. Take a hot shower and then turn it cold and then Get The Fuck Out! (Swedish)

Do The Things That Make You Great
Been thinking a lot lately about where life is going. Somebody told me that when your young you have health and time but no money, In middle age you have money and health but you have no time, finally when you are old you have lost your health but have plenty of time and money. What is worth the most to you? I woke up early this morning about 5AM and felt the need to go outside.
I went out to the patio in the back of my apartment and laid on the cold concrete in the light of the sun watching a few morning clouds pass by. A bit cliche I guess but the neighbors probably thought it was funny. Eventually I got up and decided not to go back to sleep but to actually put some hours into my real life. Because when I was down there on the ground I could feel the world on my back. I could see infinitely into the sky. The whole Health, Money, Time thing is wrong in my opinion you can have all three. In fact you already do because they are all actually the same thing, they are manifestations of your energy.

| The people you meet live on in your heart forever for your heart is your soul |
The question is who does your energy belong to? Don't let it fall into the wrong hands. My advice is to spend your time wisely and spend it on the only person that really matters in this life, yourself. I'm not saying be selfish I'm just saying that you need to make yourself a priority and stop letting other people control your life. It's yours go out and get it. I'm saying this as much to myself right now as I am to you.
This is our wake up call. Stop talking about it and start doing it. Be ambitious. Think of failure as an achievement. Spend your time cultivating the skills and crafts that make you the best you. "Simply the best... Better than all the rest." When it's all said and done you want to be able to look back on your life and know that you did the best you could. I have been looking for inspiration and today I literally found it on the ground. You never know where opportunities will present themselves. Stay thirsty my friends.

Super Lyrical
Lyrically
I’m like an athletic freak when I write
So I’m tight at open mics that I
frequent at night
When I speak on the mic in a beacon of light
I’m kinda weird and i'm white but still
keeping it hype
I
need a miller lite! When I step off stages
Take a seat at the bar with some hot babes
and write pages
I’m writin bars at bars with with local
rap stars
I’m writin bars at barbeques with dudes
in my back yard
Cuz art work pays off take no days off
Work hard play soft smoke weed, play
golf
I often stop at coffee shops to sit and
jot
I get lost in thought with the ink I
blot
I sit and think a lot high off decent
pot
I never creep or stop whether I sleep or
not
I think this coffee drink I got is freaking hot
Lyrically on a streak that can never be stopped

Desk Pains
No rest no stressing me I sit at my desk endlessly
Writing till my left hand bleeds but no reflex tendency
Then and now I plow and foul I howl and scowl then smoke a
white owl
every now the then I have friends who pretend at the end
they can bend
With two hands they wont lend send a chill down your spine
When I’m in the lime it’s a fine wine cuz it grows with time
I write till my left hand bleeds at my desk I never rest
I’m like a slob with a vest on my chest but I’m the best
In the worst way I’m constantly thirsty
I wish there were tits containing beer that could nurse me
Vanilla or Hershey but no controversy
A titties a titty so there is no worry
Sometimes I get blurry
Get down and get dirty
I think that its early but its clearly 1230
Can be so self serving its raw and unnerving
So cruel and deserving for the gruel they be serving
Is that Michael Irvin in cars see him swerving
Its magic like Irvin its tragic like working
He found a cure for aids I need a cure for jerking the monster is lurking
Just sneaking and stirring incurring the wrath
I need a bath and half plus a joke and laugh

The Eternal Question
the pain and the greed the need for green weed
so hungry and dazed if i ever get blazed
but to settle a score for once and for all
would you rather have weed or adderall
now weed indeed is off the wall
but what about the adderall
it makes me want to clean and grind
so anxious i could lose my mind
but one for all the rest of time
to pop a pill or smoke a dime?
to rip a bong or snort a line?
but wait a minute kindly folks
Now Ive been known to tell some jokes
of prescription pills and taking tokes
now what if it was all a hoax
that there is only one
when there is two theres twice to do
both weed and adderrall for you
so you can balance out the hits
with crushing up and taking sniffs
each one is yours these treasured gifts
now have a beer and take some sips
so hungry and dazed if i ever get blazed
but to settle a score for once and for all
would you rather have weed or adderall
now weed indeed is off the wall
but what about the adderall
it makes me want to clean and grind
so anxious i could lose my mind
but one for all the rest of time

Mr. Drugs
Good Morning Class. Now that the Teacher's Strike has been settled I will be your teacher for the rest of the school year. My name..... is Mr. Drugs. It is pronounced "Droogs" not "Drugs" and as I see some of you snickering I already know that this is going to be and interesting year for this class. I wonder. By a show of hands, how many of you have prescriptions for Adderall. Okay. For all those of you who have prescriptions for Adderall, you may go to recess. All the rest of you will be going down to the nurses office where you are going to tell her that you are having concentration problems.
Good Morning Class. You all look awake. Now that you all have your required prescriptions for Adderall it is time for you first assignment. I want you all to go home tonight and in the dark of night go into your bottle of Adderall and bring me five of them. Five Adderall from each of you placed in rows on my desk tomorrow morning or you will drop a whole grade level.
Good Morning Class. Thank you for completing your assignment and to celebrate I am happy to announce that it is now time for your first spelling lesson The Word of the day is XANAX for your second assignment I want you all to go home tonight being extra careful that no one sees you go behind your mothers bathroom mirror and look for a bottle with today's spelling word XANAX written on it and bring the pills to my desk in the morning. Because you have all been so good about completing your adderall assignment I have decided that for the rest of the day we will be watching "Limitless" starring Bradley Cooper as a drug fueled entrepreneur. You don't have to take notes but try to notice the symbolism of how his drug is basically adderall.
Good Morning Class. I am very pleased to see that you have all completed you second assignment congratulations. At this time I would like all of you to take out your iPhone I want you to text me photo each of your mothers in a bikini. Except for you Smitty, you don't have to complete this assignment in fact you can have extra credit for not doing it. But for the rest of you it is mandatory. The pictures are part of my notes for the upcoming parent teacher conferences. For those of you with large breasted mothers there will be a bonus. That is all for now.....
Class I have been nice to you so far but now I am starting to get angry. Last night I was in the middle of a long work session that involved studying your mothers photos in my bedroom when Smitty whom I had specifically told not to send me any photo whatsoever decided to send me a photo of his mother who shall we say is quite...unsightly. My night was ruined and now as result you are going to have two assignments today. Tell Suri or write this down or whatever method of note taking works for you.
Assignment 4: I want you to go into your fathers office and look inside his desk for white powder in some kind of container or bag. It will taste very bitter but don't have to much because it's only for grownups.
Assignment 5: Visit your Grandfathers home and look next to his bed where there are sure to be a variety of pill bottles. Look among them and find toady's spelling word which is VIAGRA. They are for a friend a very old friend who needs them. they are not for me. Kindly Bring in about five pills each they are blue.
I have added an extra assignment because during lunch I was eating and the mere thought of Smitty's mothers unsightliness made me lose my appetite.
Assignment 6: Tonight while your older brother is asleep go into his bedroom and look inside his dresser for a some green stuff in a plastic bag. It will smell very much like skunk but somehow more pleasant. Don't eat it unless you know the cooking process which will be covered in our cooking lesson later in the year. Bring the bags to me and place them on my desk tomorrow with along with the VIAGRA and The white stuff.
I look forward to grading your work tomorrow. Because you have so much work to do tonight I am going to let you leave early. Smitty I want you to stay after class and text the word UNSIGHTLY to me one thousand time.
Class Dismissed
(Despite Harsh Critizizm from the Parent Teacher Association Mr. Drugs went on to win the Teacher of the Year, the following year)

I love to read cuz it is fun
I love to read cuz it is fun
I read books to everyone
Stay up all night with a real page turner
Sci Fi fantasy mystery murder
Self help how to poetry bios
Graphic novel newspaper secret files
Magazine innards off the press from the printer
Cook books on the stove serve them for dinner
How to be a winner for beginners and novices
Lists about making better lists at offices
Happily ever after dystopian Apocalypse
Digest the reader and close the cover on politics
Stick my nose in a book toucan said to follow it
Check it out free or pay a lot at the colleges
Sit around a lot with a book in my gaze
How I love to read let me count the ways
One I read a book in the tub
Two I read a book in the club
Three I read a book on a date
Four I read a book in a crate
Five I read a book in a fight
Six I book a room and a flight
READ
READ AGAIN

Epic North American Poem
When my last
day on earth arrives
I’ll kiss the sun and make it rise
I’ll Drink the Ocean and Paint the skies
I’ll think emotion and feel wise
Used to life but meet demise
I’ll never have to say goodbye
You’ll never hurt and never cry
Your heart disappeared your tears are dry
Don’t slouch or frown or even sigh
Just understand and listen why
The soul I have just isn’t my
It’s yours and thiers and
every I
Spirits soaring flying high
Worth more than you could ever buy
Don’t waste your life forever thrive
Grow every day you stay alive
How many years you may survive
On terms of yours that you decide
Feelings you know but can’t describe
In you I live on and we’ll never die
Its you and us and every I
The soul is we remember me
