Bad habits
How I got Over an Internet Addiction
I've been scrolling through Facebook and Twitter feeds lately, if only because I have literally nothing better to do. (To be honest, I'd prefer going out and having a real life.) And of course, now that the 2020s have started, Y2K era nostalgia is in full swing- you know, Britney, Myspace, Limewire, Juicy, you get the picture. Despite (or perhaps because of?) my status as a member of Generation Z I'm totally intrigued by the fads of my childhood, if only because I was locked out of the loop.

My Truth is Far From Easy
I choose my current real time situation, how's this for authentically candid.... I'm 46 years old and tonight I smoked my last puff from my meth pipe and tomorrow I will quit cigarettes because I have four left. Three actually cause I've got one hangin' outta my mouth as I type. I live in a tent near my brothers in Huntington Beach, California. I quit my job over a month ago. My car needs a new radiator which I can't get cause I can't afford it cause yep I quit my job over a month ago. Anywhere I need to go my beach cruiser takes me and thank God I live in a town where it's still cool to ride your bike. My bank account currently has $6.89 with $4.81 in my checking and $1.88 in my savings. And you know what? It's all good because today I surrender, I surrender to my spiritual journey. It's 11/11 10:25pm.

Drop A Gear and Disappear
Arizona has been kind to me, even though you got some people you cant keep around you. That is everywhere supposedly anyway I kept my honesty up front, you can't avoid all trouble. I just rolled with the punches and still ended up enjoying my life and stayed on track kind of. I still kept getting track time, I just ran into some financial leaches. As I said in "Kings Disturbance" I have soldiers that help me out even from a distance ,but who said it was currency I received? I utilized my resources that were provided for me. I make this road to success look easy maybe, because there is a road and since we want to use metaphors and imagination. I know I am about to lap all of you on this road hands down. I am in the process of rebuilding and repairing.

Methamphetamine Silhouette
I was a dangerous sociopath when the Army released me. They had trained me to be a rabid dog and suddenly released my leash and thrust me onto society, fully responsible for my actions, with no deprogramming...and then I started doing meth, but this post is not about me or the things I did then, but rather a glimpse of that lifestyle and the insanity contained therein that seems normal at the time. I almost immediately upon release began a tumultuous relationship with a very beautiful woman, who actually introduced me to the many splendors (and horrors) of speed, but we were both very volatile and our fling was short lived, but we to this day are very important to each other and so she shall remain anonymous in this diatribe. We always stayed friends through the years. Close friends. I care more for her than any blood relative I have. She's part of my "family of choice" and those who understand that concept have been through some traumatic shit in their lives. If you had to find one, you're a survivor and I salute you.

One day.
She sat in the living room looking straight at the tv while he walked up and down the hall, letting her know just how much she was ruining his life. It didn't phase her anymore. "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" He yelled. "This is why no one you love stays around... they don't want to put up with your bullshit." She slowly moved her eyes to him, and as she did, she thought about what she was going to pack when he was finally done and left to make her feel like he was gone for good. As he spoke she mouthed every word he said... because it was like a forever spinning record player that was caught on a scratch.

switching from self-sabotage to self-respect
Sometimes we commit mistakes that we think are irreversible to the point that we keep ourselves in the very cycle that we have been trying to break out of. My biggest mistake was that in a time where I knew I needed to be a serious adult I abandoned serious things that needed my attention more than me needing to feel like I could be a reckless child.

Will I See You?
Most don't know they can start at the top. They don't have be on the bottom of the totem pole the last one thought about. Even the ones at the top are the last ones thought about. It's hard work stepping to the side and allowing others to shine more then you do. Even though your the one who set all of everything up but not for yourself but for others to thrive.

Sometimes You Have to Ramp Up Your Violence
My friends and I went to Kordon’s dance club every weekend and generally had a blast. There was a guy that also went regularly who was just a buffoon. He’d invariably get drunk and do what can only be described as a chicken dance and because of that he earned the nickname, in our circle, “chicken man”.
