this is for all the all the people who dealt crack but stopped because they saw firsthand what crack does

I've been moving around so much the past couple weeks, I feel like I'm not even here anymore. There are manifestations of me across the country, and I don't have enough manifesto to stand strong where I am.

I sort of wish I had time and energy and willingness to try to create everything I want to. And if only I produced better results.

I've been up and down these past couple of days, I'm sorry. This particular post is getting rather emo. I should probably go to bed.

I have chicken to throw away, but it smells like shit shortly afterwards, and I'd like to avoid that for as long as possible. Only 2 more days until I'm eating real food again.

Grounding yourself is the best start to any task. I keep touching things to keep myself out of my head.

  1. "There are manifestations of me across the country, and I don't have enough manifesto to stand strong where I am." YES, exactly!

    It's not emo, I like that you're able to put thoughts/feelings into words.

    If you stopped eating chicken, you wouldn't have that problem /* end evangelization() */

  2. It's uncaged, no antibiotics, corn fed, etc., etc. chicken.

    Chickens are, in general, nasty little buggers that show their hatred for the world by refusing to die when decapitated. That said, I'm willing to try and make their lives as nice as possible, and pay more money to support those who do so directly.

  3. I don't judge, often times my evangelization is tongue-in-cheek. That said, in environmental terms, there's something to be said for raising animals vs. raising vegetables.

    But yeah, do what you want, I commend your uncaged, corn fed, non-antibiotics, etc., etc. chicken efforts.

  4. If it makes you feel better, I ate dried out leftover curry and week-and-a-half old rice at lunch today. That was kinda not good.

  5. @carve037 hwo does that make people feel better?

    @colin- i agree with your "nasty little buggers" comment. chickens scare me. and in terms of your manifestations, it sounds like you are worn out, traveling man. put up your feet for a while, and rest up. being emo is also the sign of a good trip (but really? no duh.)

  6. You know, I was going to copy and show a portion of this post that I really connect with. I then realized that it was the entire post that made it what it was.

    I read this and it sounded like poetry without flow...if that is possible and if you can understand what I mean. I know too well the feeling of going to bed being the right choice to make given the circumstances. The circumstances also make it impossible to sleep with all the thought...but that thought causes the creation you want. Better results come with more sleep, but going to bed seems hopeless because it is time to be productive and creative.

    And finally...
    "I keep touching things to keep myself out of my head."
    Amen to that brother.

  7. Upon further reading I see that me saying its poetry without flow could be a bad thing. Just wanted to let you know that with how I meant it it's not, just used it for lack of a better word.

  8. @tessa ....what? None of this made any sense. Start at the beginning, not the middle?

  9. Basically I liked your post, it reminded me of a strange poem. It all is a cause and effect relationship. I especially relate to and like the part I pointed out. That was the beginning, not the middle...reread it and maybe you will understand. Either way it was at 2 am and 4 am, cut me some slack. :p
