Shel

I took it back to the days of alpine elementary and read Shel Silversteins where the side walk ends.

It might not be old white guy poetry but I think that some of the poems are so simple but still they say so much to say

Real Life

That the grass is green, and the sky is blue, that the birds love the bees and oh the bees they love the honey.

That it's weird if we talk to "strangers" Isnt being human enough in common?

That people live with broken hearts

That people smile at making other people frown

That girls wear so much freaking makeup

That I don't care about my parents aproval

That something's can only be fixed by one thing

That no one does service anymore unless they get something out of it

That people don't show there emotion. "What's the point of language unless you say what you feeeel"

That a smile can fix any problem

That it's better to laugh than fight

That fun is my jam and I play it full blast

That we can't forget we can only live with

That anytime black eyed peas comes on I gotta dance

That I can't dance but I do it anyways

That batman is the shit

That I rather have more friends in my life  than commas in my bank account

That people rather hear how people fell in love Instead of how they stayed in love

That I don't get any of this but I'm completly fine with it because sometimes it's better not to understand

Notorious

Its weird it was like there was two of me Frank White and Me.

No you know who everyone is.

So now its just me

Recollection

I Remember the day you left

I Remember no one said a word

I Remember giving you a hug goodbye

I Remember going to school and trying to act normal

I Remember not acting normal

I Remember the BLTs after school because it was your favorite

I Remember giving my mom a hug

I Remember being 11

I Remember visiting you every Sunday

I Remember the guacamole chips

I Remember not saying much

I Remember all the green. So much green.

I Remember when you visited my world again for just a day

I Remember waking up to you like it was a dream

I Remember not having an example

I Remember you still smiled the whole time

I Remember you doing the right thing

I Remember it wasn't your fault

I Remember your the one I look up to

I Remember not hating you. Just hating not getting to be with you

I Remember trying to forget

I Remember not making it a excuse

I Remember being happy

I'm happy its just a memory now

Why Black Holes are Beautiful

The Hubble telescope sent back pictures to NASA of deep outer space. And it took pictures of this black hole that was sucking space matter in one end and shooting stars out the other end.

And the scientist calculated it and said that if the black hole was the size of our empire state building and there was a tiny speck of dust next to the empire state building, that tiny speck of dust would be our sun.

Our Freaking Sun.

This huge black ugly mass in a place no ones ever been or ever seen sucking in space matter and shooting out these big gigantic unbelievable stars. This ugly blob was creating these things that were so beautiful.

I think that's how our minds work. Sometimes our mind is traveling along in space and out of no where it gets taken to this dark place. Consumed by it. And we feel like we cant get out of it. We feel like it will never end.

But I think after we come through this dark mass that's where the best of us comes out, that's when we feel the most alive. Sometimes the best things about us come from some of the darkest places.

I got food poising from a hot dog.

I said I would never eat one again.

I ate one about thirty minutes ago.

I digested my broken promise.

I put ketchup and mustard on it. 

I swallowed my lie.

And it tasted so good.

RIP

Sorry. I don't feel like writing about death. Not this week anyways
