Ego Boost – 2/11/12, 1:50pm

Wrote another full piece again this morning! Feels great to be back in the flow again :)
This is a more classic poetry type of style, it was fun to write and i hope you find it fun to read.
We all need to give ourselves some positive self-talk every now and then......

i am gorgeous

inside and out

i am sexy

without a doubt

i am witty

i am fun and spontaneous

i am strong

i am brave and courageous

i am intelligent, always curious

i like to fix things

i’m a gearhead

(no really i’m serious!)

i am unique

i am creative

i am quiet and understated

i am simple

i am natural

make-up is overrated

i’m a survivor, outliving others

(RIP my fallen sisters and brothers)

i’m the one who got away

but also the one who always gets caught

i cannot be stolen or bought

music is my essence

dance is my being

my third eye’s open and seeing

it's so liberating, so freeing

i’m a lover, not a fighter

a back scratcher and biter

smartass, narrator, and (of course) writer

always seeking truth, knowledge, and answers

to eradicate hate, ignorance, and cancers

some days, the world beats ya down

gotta pump up the Ego and flip-turn that frown

cuz emotions like sadness and anger

will only blind you and put you in danger

handicaps that take away from the moment

thoughts are like seeds

you've planted and sown em

gotta tackle the negative

to chase down your dreams
its imperative
reality's exactly what it seems
which means
it is whatever you choose
this is one of the most pertinent universal rules
so next time you feel weak like a frayed suture
remember "i am at cause over my future"


an older pic but a classic :)

Patient Review - Medical Cannabis Product - Mary’s Medicinals Transdermal Patches!

*Note: I am an independent, third party patient, reviewing new products that come into the dispensary I have designated as my Primary Care Center. They highly value constructive feedback from a patient who has a genuine debilitating condition, as well as previous experience in the industry. I hope my unique and candid insights help the Medical Cannabis Industry continue to evolve in ways that always keep patient needs first.* Please, if you find any value from this blog, please consider making a donation to the PayPal link at the top right of the page. I don't create these posts expecting anything but to help/entertain others, but I am a disabled mechanic/artist who is not currently receiving SSI/SSDI and when I'm flared up it's hard if not impossible for me to get my hustle on. I'm also working on adding Bitcoin here! :) Management of chronic pain can be a great challenge. Most effective pain relievers are dangerous or potentially addictive, and every body has uniqu

Free of the Rat Race! (free write 4/19/10)

"Buy the ticket, take the ride." - Hunter S. Thompson "Think from outside the box, collapse the box and take a fucking sharp knife to it." - Banksy So last week I caught the midnite showing of Banksy's new film "Exit Through the Gift Shop". I found it to be a fascinating examination of the street art scene. I have always loved "street art". Being a SoCal native I have held the privilege of constant exposure to the very best graffiti and I never tire of taking in as much as I can when I am in the city. But seeing that film really set me on fire. Witnessing the culmination of the artists and their creations is so inspiring to me. These are people who live with out fear or limits. They take risks for their chosen form of expression on a nightly basis while the world sleeps, or right out in broad daylight while the world sleepwalks. These artists really live their lives by their own terms and are free because of it. The majority of the p

Living with Chronic Illness - Making a Heaven out of Hell

First off, I would like to give my sincerest apologies for falling off the face of the planet for the last few months. What have I been up to, one might ask? Well, to be honest, I am ashamed to say I have been mostly doing this: Which I think anyone would do in similar circumstances, but you don't get a lot done, and you're likely to miss any opportunities that come your way (like a call from the Blue Man Group or about the part as Scared Inmate #2). For the last few years I have been battling debilitating chronic illness, and until about a month ago was eluded in reaching a diagnoses. During that time, I have been told that I'm mentally ill, had doctors give up on me, had friends, family and acquaintances think its all in my head or I'm lazy, racked up medical debt, and had unnecessary invasive medical procedures. To put it lightly, I have been through the ringer, and despite the denial of everyone else, my physical condition has continued to decline. When I develope
