Should I be asleep? No, others might think otherwise. Who? Just ask a
"normal" person what time they go bed. Then ask them what time they
actually fall asleep. I go to bed when I nod off. This birthday week has kicked my ass. Sometimes it's hard being so far from my people. Then again they are all grown up and have their own lives to deal with. Maybe I will get a van and build a small cabana straw hut somewhere on the ocean, but still have a TV for football and all. Anyways good news is I lost 2lbs over the weekend! Bad news is it was all from my scalp.
I have this on again off again pal who is four, who is related to one of my best friends. So this on again off again pal of mine got to stay here fer 7 straight days!!! Yee Haw!
Who
needs an alarm clock when a four-year-old pounds on my door at 6am and says
"Wake up shithead."
If and only if I want to sleep in and ignore his pleasant
pounding at the door, I then wake up to
"So how did you like sleeping all
day?"
Mind you this is the same kid who gets D's and T's mixed up.....The
term "Please tickle me Albert"
gets mixed reviews in a public setting.
I asked him what he wants to be when he grows up. He said a window licker.....then proceeded to lick my door! He is never going to make as a window licker.

I should be asleep, but yet it again it happens every October on the cusp of the brisk fall season, my birffday. I'm terribly sorry I sound like a douche bag when I say birffday. The correct term is simply birth-day. Another day not to feel special or really make a point of it anymore. I do have a lot to show for being on this earth so long; I have my collection of McDonald's monopoly pieces from 1996, my awesome cardboard cutout of the 1994 "Dumb and Dumber", an epic trip into stupidity, my sweat nerf turbo football, and a flying Fuck helicopter that my brother gave me.
Here's one thing I like and I hate at the same time. Birthday cards, thank you I like them, I appreciate them, they are thoughtful and caring and so on, but what do I do with them, say in March, well I'll tell you what I have done with all my birthday cards. I put them in a box with other birthday cards. I'm not a hoarder, but I can't seem to throw the damn things away. I have this thing where I might get asked to bust out a card at a party.
"So you uh, still got that birthday card I sent you four years ago?"
"Yeah, see it's right here"
"Right on"
I have 2 damn boxes and an old ice chest full of cards. Cards to get well, thank you cards, birthday, Christmas, Halloween, Easter......every dang holiday, except for St. Valentines Day. The only thing I ever got was a box full of Garbage Pail Kids, and I can't fucking find them.
Right now I'm listening to a CD, yes a CD, a mix tape type of thing. I will give it my best shot at naming songs.
1) The Grouch & Eligh - "All In" - It's a fun song
2) Buck 65 - "The Centaur Lyrics" - Groovy
3) Radiohead - "Street Spirit" - Depressing, but beautiful
4) Lovage - "Strangers on a Train" - I could listen to this song all day long, tingles
5) Gogol Bordello - "Sally" - The dancing pants song off
6) Puscifer - Green Valley
7) Buck 65 - "Paper Airplanes"
8) Eyedea & Abilities - "One Twenty" - That was hard to find!!!
9) The Devil Makes Three - "Old Number 7"
10) Atmosphere - "Hey Lucy"
11) Guttermouth - "Lipstick"
12) Nofx - "Linoleum"
13) Josh Martinez and awol one - "Strut" (Edit)
14) Jack White - "Love Interruption"
15) Marcus Mumford & Oscar Isaac - "Fare Thee Well"
16) Matt Costa - "Desire's Only Fling"
17) Johnny Cash - "Bird on a Wire"
18) Matt Costa - "Behind the Moon"
19) Handsome Boy Modeling School and Mike Patton - "Are You Down With it"
20) Elliot Smith - "Tomorrow Tomorrow"
21) Marcus Mumford & Justin Hayward - "Don't Think Twice"
22) The Devil Makes Three - "The Plank"
23) Pixies - "Where's my Head"
I did it, good for me! Yay for birthdays.
Birthdays =
For someone like myself, I would go as far back as to kill or scrap the idea of a 12 calender year. In fact I would of vetoed time altogether. Society would of adapted itself by now. The animals know when to sleep, eat, and mate. What if months, years, and time wasn't apart of our lives? Yes, the birthdays and ages would disappear, vanish. This is probably a topic I have no clue on, just a thought. I do hate getting older, especially when I walk into a game store to by a Nintendo WiiU for myself.
"So, is this is for you?"
"Yep"
"You a single father?"
"Nope"
"Ok then $426.49"
"I want to play Cake Mania 4, Ok!"
"......my little brother plays that game"
Play first
Play Second
I have wanted to scrap everything and just run so many times, just burn all my shit and explode. The one time I was determine in my life (granted I was drunk and it was January, cold, and snowy) I was living in Reno and I said fuck this shit, I'm walking to the ocean. I got to the end of the street before my best friend held me down, I never fought so hard to get free in my life. I never made it to the ocean that time, but years later I returned to toss a bottle into the ocean, with a message that has yet to be read.
Step one: Press play
Step two: Smile
Step three: Profit
Well I should be asleep, however I have been ignoring something close to me. Ignoring it for almost all of my life. I am a terrible person. Oh-Ho-Hum....
This is something that could make me happy, but not rich, although in the long run collectively healthy. I may have ingested scars on to it and gush the stabbing-stabbers of daggers through it, though time takes away all of it. The beat goes on'n'on'n'on.....
For many year I have been the clumsy buffoon known as the Tin Woodsman. Except the only difference was Mr. Woodsman wanted a heart. A girl came into his life and led him to a heart. Although she did ditch him, told the scarecrow that he was her favorite, then click her heals and she was gone. Years later Tin, now its just a rumor, but he turned into a green goofy monster who's heart shrank three whole sizes. Not to mention he stole Christmas presents and such, every Christmas Eve. He was pretty much a bad ass, so he thought.
I know its there, but I need to make it thump to the right beat again. I suppose it's just time to listen to it more. My brain is cloudy sometimes and my gut always thinks its going to starve, but my heart heats up, releasing butterflies, and on may occasions slurs my speech. Hang on let me take a moment close my eyes and listen.............There I listened and it won't be easy, but its saying happiness takes time, so....hurry the fuck up :)
I have idea.
