| sometimes i wish we came with labels to caution others & ourselves... like....
"i'm an awesome catch & if you pass this up you're dumb!" or "i'm a freakin' psycho so approach with caution!"
or "i come with lots of baggage so don't throw your back out when trying to lift me up!"
it just seems that labels would save everyone a lot of invested time and/or heartache... |

| do you ever feel like your drowning... hopelessly paddling trying to stay afloat of time... to be on top of technology... to be on top of what's going on in everyone that i care about's life... to keep exercising everyday... to keep eating better... and keep finding new music that i like... to keep moving forward... keep being productive... keep being on top of what is happening in our world... and to keep on the path towards what i'm trying to achieve when i don't even know what that is... to be driven... to keep having a career plan... a life plan... and to get the timing just right so that everything falls in place at the right time to achieve maximum happiness... to meet all the deadlines... to meet everyone's expectations... to keep making money... to keep filling your days... and never get tired... to keep bettering yourself in one way or another... by learning how to play the guitar, or journaling everyday, or learning pilates, or painting, or reading or learning a new language... to keep contributing to society by giving money to feed the children or being a camp counselor or in general being a good role model or keeping the air clean by not smoking... to achieve the look... to achieve the status... to achieve the know-how... to keep being inovative and creative and one up on everybody else...to be in the know... and well rounded and perfect at everything... we work towards all these things... everyday... and we drag ourselves through crap today in the hopes that tomorrow we might be one step closer... closer to what?... day in... and day out... we go to sleep planning what we'll do to be productive tomorrow... and when we don't achieve that we feel like we've failed... and if the 2 of diamonds or any one little card of the card tower gets out of place the whole tower falls down...we flip... and all the cards go tumbling to the floor... we must keep them all balanced and there musn't be any breeze and no one can breathe because if they do the cards will fall... the walls are closing in... everything is never enough and there's always more to be done and there's no time left to leave a mark...and these thoughts are those that put the lines in our foreheads ... when we're forty, we'll be trying to get rid of them when they all could have been avoided in the first place by living pressureless...pressure... and it never stops... and just thinking about it all just makes me want to go back to bed...
WE MUST CONSIDER IN THIS ORDER:
1. Whose we are
2. Who we are
3. What we do
4. Where we go |

| i bought this c.d. (see above) and i love it... it has inspired me to learn how to play the guitar so that i can start a band... i'm a long way from mastering the instrument but whoever wants to can join my band... everybody go buy this c.d.... it's good... maybe it'll make you want to start a band too... |
