THE NIGHT WAS YOUNG, BUT THE STREET LIGHTS WILL BE ON BEFORE WE KNOW IT. A MAN WALKS INTO A TAVERN WITH FIVE POUNDS WORTH OF SILVER AND FINDS HIMSELF A SEAT. THE CONVERSATION WITH THE SERVER, CASUAL. ONE POUND OF SILVER FOR A PINT OF A BELGIAN WHITE BEER. THE MAN PAYS HIS DUE AND SHOWS HIS RESPECT TO THE WORKING MAN WITH SOME CHANGE IN THE JAR. IT IS A CASUAL, NOT OUT OF THE ORDINARY HOME OF BUSINESS, BUT BOTH YOU AND I KNOW THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING MORE TO THIS HOUSE OF BUSINESS THAN A ROOM FULL OF ‘GROWNUPS.’ THE PHRASE ITSELF, WHEN IS ANYONE, EVER, ALL ‘GROWN-UP?’ LET US NOT DIGRESS, THIS IS NOT A STORY ABOUT TOSSING YOUR SANDALS AND INVESTING IN LEATHER AND A GOOD COAT. THIS IS THE STORY OF A MAN THAT WALKS INTO A TAVERN, NOT JUST ANY OL’ PLACE OF BUSINESS, YOU SEE, THIS IS A HOME TO SOME VALUABLE MEMBERS IN SOCIETY. PEOPLE THAT VOICED WHAT HAD NOT BEEN SAID. TRANSLATED TRUTHS THAT WERE RECOGNIZED BUT NEVER SPOKEN ABOUT. THIS HOUSE OF BUSINESS IS HOME TO VALUABLE PEOPLE THAT WORKED DILIGENTLY TO ORGANIZE COMPREHENSIVE IDEAS THAT WOULD SHAPE OUR WAY OF LIVING, IT WAS JUST A HAPPY COINCIDENCE THAT YOU MAY PISS YOUR PANTS FROM ALL THE LAUGHTER THE NIGHT’S ENTERTAINMENT MAY BRING.

THE GOAL IS TO CAPTURE AS MUCH OF IT AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN BEFORE IT COLLAPSES. IT, BEING AN IDEA THAT TAKES EFFORT TO ORGANIZE. AT TIMES, CRUMBS OF A PERSPECTIVE THAT TAKES DAYS OF TRIAL AND ERROR TO CONSTRUCT. OTHER DAYS, SPECIFIC STATEMENTS THAT SHAPE THE READER’S PERSPECTIVE. INSTEAD OF SEEKING TO COMPLETE SOMETHING ABSOLUTE, I ALLOWED MYSELF TO PERFORM THE TASK, AND PRINT WHAT I FELT MADE THE MOST SENSE FOR THE READER’S EXPERIENCE.

How-to

Time and Habits

What’s your story

WAIT, BECAUSE THERE’S NO RUSH LIKE THERE IS NO CHOICE, BUT TO WAIT FOR THE UNIVERSE TO SHOW YOU THE WAY. IT COULDN’T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A YEAR INTO MY BROADWAY CAMPAIGN, WAS A WOMAN, A FEW YEARS MY ELDEST ELDER BECAUSE YOU NEVER REQUEST A WOMAN’S AGE. ARE WE ALL AWARE OF THEE FACTS OF LIFE? HOW FAMILIAR ARE WE WITH THE UNSPOKEN-OF GUIDELINES WE SENSE IN THIS CONCRETE JUNGLE OF OURS? SHE WAS A WOMAN WITH A STAGE, UNDER A MODEST BUILDING WHEN SURROUNDED BY AS MANY CORPORATE OFFICES. GREEN LEAVES and BLUE SKIES, BUT NOT THE TYPE OF COOL WE'RE USE TO. IT’S THE TYPE OF CHILL YOU GOTTA WEAR A COAT FOR. I REMEMBER THIS STAGE, YES I DO. IT WAS MY HOME FOR A SEASON. IT IS WHERE THE RISING TALENT MADE THEIR PRESENCE KNOWN. IT IS WHERE THE GUYS AND GALS OF THE PERFORMING ARTS CONVERSED THEORY AND APPROACH WHEN BRINGING REALITY TO AN ORCHESTRATED SCENE, HOW TO CAPTURE AUDIENCE INTRIGUE? WE WOULD COMPLETE TASKS AND ASSIST THE HOUSE AS BEST AS WE COULD FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE SOME OF OUR WORK. IS THE TRUTH FOR MANY ARTISTS, ACHIEVE THE SUCCESS YOU DESIRE. WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

CALM DOWN, IT IS NOT THE GREATEST THING YOU WILL READ EVER FOR AS LONG AS ALL THAT THERE IS TO READ EXIST, OR MAYBE ON A THOUSAND, TEN BANDS AFTER TWO HUNDRED AND CHANGE ON THE DOLLAR. KEEP IT IN YOUR POCKET AND REMAIN CALM. THE CLOUD OF THE DOLLAR IS A BURDEN TO MAKING, MEANING, YOUR WAY OF THINKING IS BETTER WHEN IT’S RELAXED. HAVING APPROPRIATE INCOME HELPS PLENTY, LAAH, LAAH, LALA,

WHEN IN THE ROOM, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS BEING BUILT, MADE, AND ON THE THING GOES. THE LAST THING YOU WANT IT TO BE ABOUT — , SO LONG AS YOU HAVE SOME OF IT IN YOUR POCKET, ALLOW YOURSELF TO CREATE. OR — THINK OF IT THIS WAY, YOUR FAVORITE PEOPLE, SAME THING DIFFERENT SORT’VE BILLS.

BUILDING WHAT IS NOT. IN CONVERSATION WITH PEOPLE, I ALWAYS PREFER TO BE A PART OF RATHER THAN THE LEADER. YOU THINK YOU WANT THAT SORT’VE WEIGHT ON YOU, REALITY BEING, YOU HAVE A WHOLE TEAM TO ANSWER TO,

MY THING IS THAT PTA ACTS LIKE HE DOESN’T SEE ME OUT HERE AND EVERY TIME YOU ASK HIM ABOUT ME, HE ACTS LIKE HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE MARKET, RIGHT NOW. I’M WATCHING YOU CLOSELY, MY FRIEND.

EXISTS NO SUCH THING AS A SHORTCUT. SHOULD SUCH A ROAD BE AVAILABLE, IT WOULD BE KNOWN AS THE WAY. I STARTED TO WRITE THE THING, LIKE I WOULD SPEAK AND IT ALLOWED FOR A FILLING OF THE PAGE, WITH THAT SAID, THERE’S A SPECIFIC THING THAT IS SOUGHT WHEN DELIVERING A LITERARY WORK. REASONS FOR A RETURN ARE THE STATEMENTS THAT ALLOW THINKING. WITHOUT THE RESOURCES TO RECORD A SPECTACLE OF EVENTS NOT TOO FAR FROM MEMORIES MIND, I MADE THE APPROPRIATE EFFORTS TO MAKE SOMETHING ELSE HAPPEN. IT’S A SUPER-DUPER COLLECTION OF MAD ELOQUENT JARGON, I CONSIDER ALL OF IT A CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPLETE. IT DOES NOT ARRIVE PREPARED FOR YOU. IT’S A DAILY EFFORT TO GET IT TO WHERE THE TEXT IS COMPREHENSIVE.

an obscure practice known as poetry.

the sky is not blue, today. i like it this way. it is as planned as a pollock splatter. chatter of today, ramblings of tomorrow. thinking of times i miss. i close my eyes. it twists, it drifts, it turns, it bends, it folds, it shapes, it breaks, left, up, right, down, right, left, and backflips into a pool of the abstract. arrived a dream of tomorrow. lick it and stick it on the page. you were there. and you were there. so were you. you in the blue, yeah, you too. “our next stop, elmhurst,” is announced over the intercom. it’s gone. i get off the train and make my way into a local bodega; for my usual before work. a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, small coffee, light and sweet, please.

God gave us what we needed. It is up to you to get what you want.

a literary construct via memory and/or feeling. A dream we remember, I’ve been thinking.

like a poet, but not really

Something gentle, like your kiss.

Something cruel, like your fist.

Something fragile, like your heart.

Something firm, like our love.

From the shouts, to the tears,

To the goodnight whispers, in your ear.

How solid it was,

How broken it is.

I think of you, when my eyes open.

I dream of you, when they close.

I talk about you like you never left. But, I’m missing you like,

Never forget what it is like to be a child. No matter how old you may get, the feeling never goes away. It is child-like the way I feel about you.

I wish I knew how to paint, so I could MAKE SOME OF THE COOLEST THINGS THAT EXIST IN THE WORLD TODAY. WAS THE DAY. SO I TOOK A CLASS, I WAS EXPOSED TO MY LIMITS IN ACREYLICS AND SHIT. BE VULNERABLE. NOT KNOW FROM TIME TO TIME. IT IS GOOD FOR YOU. BACK TO THE STORY, HOMEBOY DROPPED A HEAVY ‘R’ WHILE WE WERE FINGER-PAINTING, I LAUGHED, TOUGH. ‘WHAT’S GOING ON, HERE?’ SHE SAYS.THE GIRL NEXT TO US SPILLS THE BEANS, CRUCIFIED ISN’T THE WORD. SHE’S ALL TYPES OF HOT! THERE IS REASON FOR LANGUAGE. THESE ARE WORDS WE DON’T USE, BECAUSE OF THE TRAUMA SUFFERED BY COUNTLESS PEOPLE. TO BE FAIR TO MY PEEP’S, WE SPEAK INSENSITIVELY TO ONE ANOTHER ALL THE TIME. HE WAS LOOKING FOR AN OUT, COULDN’T STAND THE HEAT, SENT IT MY WAY. FUCK, THAT! YOU’S A GROWN MAN

DAWG. WHAT SAY SO DO ‘I’ HAVE OVER THE THINGS ‘YOU’ SAY? IS WHEN HE DECIDES TO BRING UP SOME BULLSHIT THAT GOT ME BANNED FROM NIGHTCLUBS. SUFFERING LIKE PREJUDICE AND MISCONDUCT IS NO LAUGHING MATTER, BUT I’LL TELL YA’ THE STORY. JESUS WAS A JEW AND THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. HEAVY THE BALLS ON THE MAN THAT DARES SAY THESE THINGS, IT WAS HERE WHEN I GOT HERE BROTHER MAN. I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRAUMA, SURVIVORS OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, HAVE TO ENDURE.

I WOULD LIKE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME LAUGHS AND A GOOD TIME, NEVER AGAIN, I’M OUT THE GAME FAMILY. I DON’T DO THIS STUFF NO MORE, WAS WHEN I ROMANTICIZED AN IDEA. GAMBLING. WIN LOTS OF MONEY AND LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND MY REAR VIEW MIRROR FOR GOOD. THAT WOULD BE LIT, INDEED,

IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE I’M NEVER DOING ENOUGH. THEN I REMEMBER THAT DAY, FOLLOWED BY THAT SHOW, AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE I’VE MET, WHILE ON THIS JOURNEY TO AWESOMENESS. EVENTUALLY, YOU LET GO IN TERMS OF IT BEING AN END ALL BE ALL SORT’VE ACT. ITS ALWAYS A WORK IN PROGRESS. ITS EVER EVOLVING, ALLOW IT BE. CONCLUSION DATE, PENDING. START WITH THE DAY, SO LONG AS YOU ARE MAKING.TURN IT OFF. ALLOW IT SOME TIME TO MISS YOU, MAYBE THEN, IT WILL CARE FOR YOU, LIKE YOU CARE FOR IT.

LATEST CUT, WHATEVER IS AVAILABLE, WHAT’S IT LOOKING LIKE,

CARL BENZ, THE GERMAN ENGINEER THAT INTRODUCED VEHICLES TO THE PUBLIC IN 1886, WAS A SCOTTISH GUY LOOKING FOR HIS PLACE IN HISTORY, AND ON THE MEMBERS OF THE SAME COMMUNITY. THOMAS B. JEFFREY IS RECOGNIZED FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT THAT IS 1,500 RAMBLERS SOLD IN A YEAR. THE MOMENT IN HISTORY BEING BEFORE HENRY FORD, THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR FORD MOTORS. IS WHAT AN IDEA BUILDS, ARE THE COMMUNITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR CHEVROLET, HONDA, PORSCHE, FERRARI, SUBARU, WHO CARES ABOUT ALL OF THE CAR MANUFACTURERS I GOOGLED? IS TESLA, ELON MUSK’S ACHIEVEMENT. IT IS AVAILABLE TO ALL AND ANY. IS WHAT BEING ON YOUR SHIT IS ABOUT, EXISTS A VARIETY OF CONTRIBUTIONS AN INDIVIDUAL IS ALLOWED, BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT SUM INDUSTRY. WAS A BOY THAT WANTED TO MAKE TOY CARS. THAT BOY GROWS UP AND YOU CAN ‘MACAULAY CULKIN’ THE THING FOR SOME ACTORS, ILLUSTRATE THE PROCESS OF INVENTING, INVENTION, AND CEO THE THING FOR A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE, BECAUSE TOYS ON CHRISTMAS DAY IS AWESOME. IS THE MOTHER OF THE BOY THAT WANTS TO BE A TOY INVENTOR. THE YOUNG LADY THAT KNOWS CARS, AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE STORY YOU ARE READING. FOR NOW, A COLLECTION OF GOODIES THAT MAKE THE COMPLETE. EACH TALE HAVING AN ENCYCLOPEDIA’S WORTH OF A THESAURUS THAT COMMUNICATES A STORY. THE DOCUMENT AVAILABLE, AN INDEPENDENT ENDEAVOR. SHOULD I BE DENIED PUBLISHING, WHAT WOULD I DIRECT MY EFFORTS TOWARDS? I CYCLED AROUND THE CITY IN MY NEWLY PURCHASED BICYCLE, WAS AN IDEA DURING MY YOUTH. FROM HAMILTON HEIGHTS TO CITI FIELD, I WOULD FIND MY WAY IN BUILDINGS I HAD NO BUSINESS IN AND PITCH TO NETWORKS. LONG STORY SHORT, THERE WAS NO NEED TO QUIT MY NINE TO SIX IN THE MORNING. A CUP OF COFFEE AND SOME SWEET BREAD TO KEEP ME UP. CAN’T SAY IT WASN’T TOUGH ON MY BODY, CAN’T SAY IT WASN’T TOUGH ON MY MIND, BUT I HAD ALL OF COLUMBUS CIRCLE TO SPIN AROUND. IN THE MORNINGS I WOULD SHOWER AND LAND ON MY BED. WORK ON SOME TEXT, AND HOLD ON TO THE SATISFACTION THE CONCLUSION OF A NIGHT’S WORK BRINGS. I WOULD USE MY DAYS CYCLING AROUND CAMPUS, I HAD THIS THING IN MIND ABOUT MY FORMER GIRLFRIEND, BUT THAT’S NONE OF YOUR CONCERN. I MOVED AROUND PLENTY, SOMETIMES I HAD NO HOME TO GO TO, WAS A HIGHLIGHT OF A NIGHT. THE STARS WERE OUT, FANCY CARS PARKED OUTSIDE OF THE TAVERN, JEWELS WERE SHINY THEY SHINED. WAS WHEN I APPROACHED THE MAN. THE CONVERSATION WAS HOLLYWOOD, AN ‘I’LL CALL YOU.’ SORT’VE REALITY. WE WOULD LIKE FOR THE TALENT TO BE INVOLVED AND ALLOW US A PATH THAT WOULD MAKE OUR GOAL IN MIND A REALITY, THEY ARE NOT TALENT SCOUTS. THEY, LIKE YOU AND I, SEEK AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE THEIR WORK. A FEW AGES AGO WAS THE TIME, THEIR EFFORTS ALLOWING THEM THE ACHIEVEMENT THAT IS BEING A WORKING ARTIST. THERE’S MUCH MORE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT, EXIST MUCH MORE TO BE EXCITED ABOUT, WAS WHEN I FOUND MYSELF HOME. SOMEWHERE UNDER A PALM TREE, DIPPING MY TOES IN THE SANDS WARMTH, I FOUND A LETTER. IT READ, ‘GO HAVE A GOOD FUCKING TIME WITH YOUR LIFE, DUDE. WHAT IS THE REASON FOR ANYTHING ELSE? IF ALL THAT OCCUPY’S YOUR MIND IS A TASK.’ GASOLINE DOLLARS WERE SPENT, PARTIES WERE SWEET,

PLENTY OF NIGHTS WORTH OF HEAVY LIFTING, PLENTY OF NIGHTS WORTH OF DRINKS AND MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES UNDER THE NIGHT’S STARS. NEVER LET THEM SEE YOU BLUE, WHAT’S THE POINT OF A FROWN? THE SUN RISES IN THE MORNING AND YOU’D RATHER HAVE AN AWFUL DAY, YOU’D RATHER LET EVERYTHING GO TO SHIT, YOU WOULD RATHER BE MISERABLE. IS A LIFE’S WORTH OF LIVING, ‘YEAH, I WANT TO DO ALL OF THE THINGS, BUT YOU HAVE TO UNBUTTON MY LEATHER BELT FIRST,’ I SAY ’WHY DO I HAVE TO DO ALL OF THE WORK?’ SHE REPLIES. ‘YOU WANT IT,’ I ANSWER. ‘AND YOU DON’T?’ SHE QUESTIONS. ‘OF COURSE TO ALL OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS.’ I SAY. ‘SO TAKE OFF YOUR BELT.’ SHE COMMANDS. ’I HAVE THIS THING IN MY HEAD THAT I HAVE TO CREAMPIE THE FILLING, AND I WANT TO, BUT I’M TRYING TO JUST BE FOR A WHILE,’ I SHARE WITH HER, I SHARE WITH YOU ALL OF MY THINGS. ITS WHAT IT IS FOR, IS WHAT MAKING A COMMITMENT IS ABOUT. WE AGE, SO FIND SOMEONE TO HUMP ALL THE TIME, TWENTY FOUR HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, WHY NOT? AND ALL OF THE TIMES YOU’VE BEEN HURT, AND ALL OF THE HEARTS YOU’VE BROKEN. BE WRONG, BECAUSE THE SAME HURT YOU FEAR TO CAUSE IS FELT IN ABSENCE. ARRIVES THE DAY SHE DECIDES TO CATCH AN ATTITUDE, THEN YOUR MAD AND WALK OUT THE DOOR BECAUSE YOU CAN’T DEAL WITH THE TENSION. DON’T LET ME INFLUENCE YOUR DECISIONS IN LIFE, THESE ARE ALL OF THE THINGS. IF ONLY EVERYTHING WAS THE WAY WE’D LIKE IT TO BE, BUT IT IS NOT. YOURS IS MINE, MINE IS YOURS. SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH YOURS JUST LIKE YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH HERS. MY PROBLEM, I NEVER ANYTHING, I GUESS. IT’S NEVER SOMETHING I DID. I DO, NOTHING. I MIND MY BUSINESS AND DO NO WRONG. SO I ‘LIKED’ A GIRL’S PICTURE AND SHE DECIDES TO SUCK SOME DICK TO GET BACK AT ME. ALL I’M SAYING IS, ‘ DON’T YOU THINK THAT’S A LITTLE EXTREME?’ I HAD THIS STORY IN MIND ABOUT A YOUNG MAN THAT WANTS TO DESIGN TOYS FOR A LIVING, HIS MOMMA, THE YOUNG LADY THAT KNOWS ALL THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT CARS, AND ALL OF THE CHARACTERS THAT MAKE FOR AN EPIC’S RECORDING. LET’S CALL IT A DAY WHY DON’T WE,

JOURNAL ENTRY #27,455

97’

WAS A TIME, MY AMBITIONS EXCEEDED MY ABILITY. ITS WHAT HAS BEEN STUDIED SINCE INTRODUCTORY SCHOOL. LANGUAGE, THEIR VARIATIONS AND TRANSLATIONS. AT ANY TIME, SOME KID COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT, BE CERTAIN, YOU ARE CAPABLE OF THE TASK. ‘WHY AM I NOT MAKING A MILLION DOLLARS?' BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO MAKE AS GOOD AS SUZANNE COLLINS^. NOT OF THE SAME LITERARY FLAVOR, IT IS AN EPIC'S TRILOGY SHE’S DOCUMENTED. TIC, TIC ON A TYPE MACHINE. HER WORDS, COMPREHENSIVE; SHAPED THE AVAILABLE PRODUCTIONS, ADD SOME CINEMA MAGIC, IS THE EFFORT THAT MUST BE GIVEN FOR IT TO BE. MY NETWORK CRASHED, TOOK THE NEXT SET OF UPLOADS SLOW. 97’ IS AN UNSOLICITED FILE, AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE, IF THE TEXT DETAILING THE STORY’S RESOLUTION IS DESIRED. had a great idea that would complete the file, the beginning is tough because it is undetermined whom is to lead the story. the villain’s most popular, is what having actors on set is about. There’s the reporter that wants in, don’t know where to place you. May not make the final cut. The detective being the driving force, he’s the person with a goal; the solution to a crime. Unfortunately, exist no solution for the deeds the villains in this tale are responsible for. The men captured and removed from society, does the leader of the organization get got? ‘When an incident occurs, how much time is required for it to be traced back to its beginning?’ Varies, some are quick, others we must wait for new information to arrive. Ideally, you want to solve it that day. Spending the night on the clock is tricky. You should be resting and allowing yourself to register the day’s events. Whatever energy drink, whatever hot source of caffeine, more of a psychological habit than it is a way of contesting restless eyes. Should you allow your mind to drift there’s danger of an individual losing their sense of certainty. You forget things, and fail to trust the way you remember an event. Is what training and preparation is about. Everyone’s clocked-in hours on that train, everyone has been introduced to the dangers of roaming these streets alone. That was a long time ago for our lead detective. His story, casual, but full of events that test a man’s spirit. Through it all, he’s managed to be person whom’s word is trusted, direction, followed. It’s rarely quiet in the big city: petty theft, minor transactions, some crowds that need to be broken-up, and some noise from the folks in poverty. Incidents that make the morning news are a handful. The youth involved with organizations that contest the guidelines the city follows are people with a desire to have more than to harm. Crimes being looked at as an achievement, a ‘nobody’ has plenty to gain should they succeed a mission. The mind being a house of habit and association, eventually, acts we are told are to be persecuted are awarded with, what is love? What is respect? What is a couple of dollars? Being of value as seductive as the power available in the underworld. It is important to remember that we are making conversation about people. Even gangsters have a code of ethics. Is what made Al Pacino^ a beloved anti-hero when he took on the role of 'Tony Montana’ for Brian De Palma’s^ one of many exceptional works, Scarface^. Tony Montana is a man that gets the job done, no problem; a clean slicing of a pest, an ugly drug transaction, an elimination of a foe, no questions asked. Tony Montana does not harm the kids; was thee moment of the tale that is Scarface^. Exist but a handful of gangster films that have captured the same audience approval. For as much wrong and as much blood drawn at the hands of the man, he could never be accused of a wicked crime. Tony Montana chooses his morals and contests power, the film concludes with a memorable closing; the fall of a man not quite noble, but not quite rotten. A crime brings the city to a silence,

WHEN IT IS WITHOUT ATTEMPT. PLENTY OF HOURS GIVEN TO THE GOAL, IT IS NEVER WITHOUT EFFORT, BUT WHEN IT IS WITHOUT A SECOND GUESS. MY STEAK! I LIKE THOSE ROOMS, THERE IS REASON FOR FEW OF US HERE. FROM TIME TO TIME YOU’D FIND A YOUNG BULL THAT TAKES IT PERSONAL. IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU, NOR IS IT ABOUT ME. IT IS ABOUT WHOMEVER HAS IT RIGHT NOW. I LIKE THOSE ROOMS PLENTY. ONE OF THE FEW THAT RECEIVED AN INVITATION, WELCOME. YOU GOT ME ALL WRONG. I’M NOT HERE FOR YOU MY MAN, I’M HERE FOR SOME STEAK AND POTATOES. HEAR ME OUT. YOU MEAN, NO LABOR? LIKE — PEOPLE DON’T FISH, FRY-UP SOMETHING MEAN PLENTY OF GREENS, GROW CROPS, BUILD AIRPLANES, FLIP PATTIES AND STACK CHEESE? YOU ARE SAYING NO ONE DOES ANYTHING, EVER? AND YOU SHIT GOLD AND PISS WHISKEY FOR A HOBBY, WHAT SORT’VE EXISTENCE DO YOU BELIEVE THIS WORLD HAS TO OFFER YOU CHILD? IT IS A TIME OF RESOURCE AND INDUSTRY. OUR NATION’S PROSPERITY DEPENDENT ON THE HOURS OF LABOR THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE ATTEMPT AT A CIVILIZED SOCIETY HAVE TO OFFER. TO BE ASSURED BY OUR NATION, YOUR PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.TRADE AND GOODS, GOODS FOR TRADE, THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR AND CURRENCY. SINCE THE AGE OF CIVILIZATION, WHAT HAS, WHAT IS THE CURRENT. THERE SHOULD BE NO — BECAUSE. THIS SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF — . WHAT SORT’VE THING IS THIS GOING TO BE? IT’S THE INTRO PEEPS. AS LONG AS THE BROWSER INTRODUCTION EXCITES. AS LONG AS THE TANGIBLES SATISFY WHAT’S PROMISED, A GOOD FUCKING READ, A GOOD FUCKING TIME. THE CHALLENGE IS NOT WHAT IS BLATANT TO THE EYE. THE CHALLENGE IS, CONVINCING A STRANGER TO BUY YOUR FORTY HOURS PER WEEK BECAUSE THIS IS MY BEST CONTRIBUTION. NO LABOR, EVER? I DO NOT SEEK A VACATION, I SEEK, LIKE YOU; CONVINCE ANY AND EVERYBODY WILLING TO LISTEN, THOSE FORTY HOURS OF LABOR SHOULD BE GIVEN TO EVERYTHING THAT’S BEING WRITTEN, FELLOW READER. BE HONEST WITH ME, WHAT ELSE ARE YOU BROWSING FOR? ANOTHER JAMES PATTERSON RELEASE? A NORA ROBERTS EPIC? NO FOO’ — BARS! YOU COMPREHEND THE TEXT, YOU’RE READING THE MOVE. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS GUY TALKING ABOUT? HOWEVER YOU LIKE IT SIZZLED, I AM THE MAN FOR IT. STOP IT WITH THE LEAKS. IT HAS TO BE IN BULK, AND THE CROWDS GOTTA EAT. CLEAN UP WHAT IS AVAILABLE, A FEW THOUSAND ON SOME PRINTS COULD MEAN SOME CHANGE TO BE PICKED UP, SPIN THE WHEEL UNTIL THERE’S ENOUGH CHANGE TO DOUBLE DOWN ON ITS VISUAL TRANSLATION. I THINK MINE’S A LITTLE DIFFERENT. I AM NOT MAKING FROM A PLACE OF PROVING ANYONE WRONG, I AM AT A PLACE WHERE I WANT TO PROVE PEOPLE CORRECT IN THEIR BELIEF THAT THIS WILL EVOLVE INTO SOMETHING WORTH HAVING ON YOUR SHELF. MOST OF MY TIME WAS AIMED AT COMPLETING A WHOLE THAT WOULD ALLOW ME THE ECONOMIC FREEDOM TO LOUNGE AND KICK IT WITH YA’LL BECAUSE I HAVE THE REST OF THE DAY. NOTHING ARRIVES IN A NEATLY ORGANIZED MANNER, IT IS EFFORT THAT MAKES THE TRANSLATION SO, FOR THE READER. AND I’D LOOK AT THE IMAGES. IT ALL HAS ITS OWN DESTINATION, I JUST HAVE TO BE PRESENT LONG ENOUGH TO EXTRACT THE IDEA.IT TAKES CONFIDENCE, IF WITHOUT FEAR OF AN EVALUATION, WHY NOT? YOU KNOW THAT THING, YOU SAY SOMETHING WILD AND EVERY ONE THINKS YOU’RE BEING EARNEST ABOUT AN AUDACIOUS PROCLAMATION, BUT YOU’RE REALLY TROLLING BECAUSE I KNOW I’M NOT LIKE BEETHOVEN WITH IT, I KNOW I’M REALLY NOT LIKE CARNEGIE HALL TYPE GOOD. NO, NOT ME. NICHOLAS SPARKS, BRO. NICHOLAS SPARKS IS THE GOAT. I’M JUST A MIXTAPE RAPPER TRYING TO BE SOMEONE IN THIS CRAZED TOWN. WHAT I GOTTA DO? GO TO TELEMUNDO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? ME, YES, ME. WHY? ‘CUZ ALL THE CUTE GIRLS KNOW THE MAN, FAM.

FOR ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE THAT ENJOY LESS OF ME MORE OF THE STORY, I’LL TELL YA’ WHAT IN THE WORLD WENT DOWN IN THAT TAVERN, JUST LIKE I’LL ‘JOHN HUGHES’ INVENTOR TOY STORY THE OTHER THING FOR YA’

BE ON A LOOK OUT FOR ‘PENELOPE,' BE ON A LOOK OUT FOR ‘CINEMA DE ORO,’ WORKING TITLE,

YOU’RE AT THE END OF THE FILE,

YOU SEEK PROFIT FOR GOOFING OFF ON AN APPLE DEVICE? YOU BUFFOON. LET ME LAUGH AT YOU FOR A WHILE, IS THE AVAILABLE WORK.

MY PROFESSION IS DICKENS AROUND WITH A LAPTOP AND GO LIVE A LIFE ACCORDING TO ME, CAN’T DO THAT. HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY, AND SPEAK, AND VOLUNTEER, AND ALL OF THE THINGS THE KIDS WANT TO KNOW ABOUT. YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE THAT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THEIR GOALS. WHAT ARE ALL THE VARIABLES THAT MAKE IT SO? IS THE JOURNEY. DICKENS AROUND IN A LAPTOP LIVING A BALLER LIFE, WAS A LAUGHABLE GOAL OF MINE BECAUSE WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I BE SO LUCKY. IN OTHER WORDS, THE DETERMINING FACTOR OF YOUR SUCCESS IS IN THE HANDS OF SOMEONE THAT WOULDN’T GIVE YOU TWO IF THEY HAD THREE SECONDS TO SPARE BECAUSE WE’RE ALL LIVING OUR LIVES. IS HOW PROFICIENT ANYONE NEEDS TO BE TO CONVINCE SOMEONE OF A PURCHASE. IN OTHER WORDS, SHOULD SOMEONE CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE GOING ON, YOU BETTER NOT BLOW,

I SLICED THE TEXT AND PICTURE TO WHAT IS THE NOW. MORE TIME, MORE UPDATES, A LONG TIME AGO. WHILE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GIVE THE PROFESSION FORTY HOURS PER WEEK, IS EVERY INDIVIDUAL’S AROUND YOU’S GOAL, SORT’VE,

IT IS NOT THAT NUMBERS ARE MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD, THE THING I WOULD RATHER BE DOING MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, IS THE THING. YOU NEED NUMBERS TO DO THAT, IS WHY WE LOVE NUMBERS,

DID YOU LIKE IT? DID YOU HATE? LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE,

BECAUSE, LIKE, REALLY MAKE THE THING LIKE REALLY FUCKING WELL. ‘VIVIT POST FUNERA VIRTUE,’ WAS THE PHRASE THAT CAPTURED THE WORLD’S IMAGINATION. THERE’S BRILLIANCE WITHIN US ALL, IS WHAT A VERSE REPRESENTS. OUR BEST MOMENTS REMAIN ANONYMOUS TO THE WORLD,

IS WHAT THESE FEW SECONDS ARE ABOUT.

IT’S THE JUICE, THERE IS NO OTHER, WHERE THEY AT?

the stage is sort’ve but not really like a temptress. all there is to want to touch, all there is to want to hold. a barrier between the two of you won’t allow it so. think about this, what is this barrier between what you imagine and what is? the best things in life available to the individual speaking on a microphone. do you get my odd sense of humor? airfare, hotels, and lots and lots of goodies. invitations to the best parties, surrounded by gorgeous people. access to the fineness of all that is delicacy and wines you can’t. even.pronounce. all because you speak very well on the microphone. why is that not your life? trust, i understand your frustration. you ‘just’ get up there and say things. very little, close to no requirements, other than to move the crowd. make them feel. how tragically hilarious, isn’t it my friend? don’t blow your brains out because you’re not funny, have a beer with us. the blue collar’d guys. the fellas this industry has chewed up and spit out. trust me, you don’t want to be an actor. you want to be a performer, you want to be an entertainer. you want to develop a comfort with people, so much so, you don’t mind getting up on that stage. the rest of your life, floating in a sea of chocolate, while goddesses lick your ass-hole clean. god is hilarious in that way. what makes you believe anyone cares to make this a reality for you? we want these luxuries for ourselves, my friend. no one cares about you accomplishing your goals, you cute thing you. should you want it, how much original material do you have? you want people to request your presence at their party, so long as there’s barbecue plates and lots of shots, go have a good time. you want to know what plays are being organized at your local theatres. you want to have an audition for an independent picture on monday, you want to volunteer your tuesdays to a local cinema house, you want to host a special on wednesday, you need friday off because you have a commercial-shoot booked. you do not want to be the pretty face waiting for someone to call you because you have a really nice headshot. you want stage time. the difference between a dreamer and a professional is gold FOO’! after the fiasco that was my short lived acting career, i developed an ability to write really, really, really, well made stuff, here.
