The Jolly Rancher

What is this life for anyway?

About Me

I am Joe. I am indestructable (but fragile). I am energy beyond the speed of light. I am mostly water and carbon. I am infinite (in the here and now). I am tireless (but I'm sleepy). I am old (but I'm young at heart). I am famous (to those who know me). I am relentless (but wavering). I'm not drunk (I'm just having a good time). I have a beard (that I love). I have a girlfriend (that I love... almost as much as my beard). I like coffee and cigarettes. I dont eat cucumbers (unless they're pickles). I enjoy reality (but not reality T.V.). I'm not an artist (I just make art). I'm not an anarchist (I just don't like my government). I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger.

Wanna save $1200 a year?

I think I've gone off the deep end

Short drive home... could've been longer. Passed five police cars on the way... kept me on my toes... thought I was pinched for sure. "Only the meek get pinched..." kept going through my mind, "... th...

I've been a student for too long, it's time to be an artist...

confusion

Confounded, confused, befuddled... I don't know what to say. My mind falls into the slipstream that was this awful day. Body on autopilot, foot on the gas. Soon this day, to night will pass....

Scarlet Begonias and a touch of the blues...

Natural born loser on a winning streak. This amazing girl makes him weak. Tired mind, empty head, empty soul, time for bed. Time for a dream, a fantasy. A short escape to extacy. A beautiful distracti...

Life, the Universe and Everything...

Well, I started out this night stressing out about all of the homework that's due on Monday, but it's turned into a whole other monster. I watched the first quarter of the Superbowl... but (at the cos...

Cold in here, must have left the window open. Goddamnit. Sure enough... So the whole apartment complex has been listening to the wierd techno-crap that I listen to when I don't want to think. When I s...
