freewrite 2-10-12, "revolution"

first full piece completed in under an hour in about 8 months or so. feels great! enjoy.
Happy 2012, and thanks for reading!

the stress from the mess of bills on the table

is enough to make any solid oak unstable

unable to keep up with the onslaught

its not like im fuckin around or forgot

its just that i had to leave my job for the very medical reason

i have all these pieces of paper

covered in numerical treason

later i may look back on this and laugh

but for now i just want to send em all back

you see after leaving my job i lost everything i had

my benefits my career

so fuckin sad..why’d you leave? what about the ADA act?

well for that one must have a formal diagnoses

and i was never given a final prognosis

in English it means they couldn’t figure out what was wrong

before i ran out of Paid Family/Medical leave

word is Bon

so my job’s legal protection was suddenly in question

still unable to perform the vital functions of my position

due to my physical condition

calling out for help but no one would listen

so these were the options i was given

go back to lifting hundreds of pounds a day

or say good bye and walk away

sadly the fact of the matter

is my body is fried so i chose the latter

left on good terms, can go back anytime

but i fear i’ve already passed my prime

at 27 years old, too young to feel so old

now my new career is under fire from the sold-

out, decayed, hypocritical Feds

i just want to garden and create

with like minded heads

but these muthafuckas

gotta be in everyone’s business

cuz they’ve made a business

of fucking with everyone

can i get a witness?

well fuck you

and that’s all i wanted to say

i know my rights and which ones you’ve violated today

and im sick and tired and i won’t take it no more!

Revolution is here bitches

time to even the score!

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 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.

"Reset" - Flow orig. written for Raver's Digest (January 2003)

reset flow so good you'll want to read it slowly hand crafted for you by the one and the only renata hernandez a.k.a. number thirty-one (she braids werdz into poetry just for fun) its been such a long day, am i ready for a long nite? my mind's beginning to fray and body feels wound and tite but i think i can rebound for the night cuz 26c knows how to put the sound and vibe together right i round up the homies and we take flight for the Orion and to my delight there's no line at all, just the usual slight gathering of promoters standing near the door always handing out more and more flyers to passerbyers by the score we pass through security and enter: the first floor where house pours through speakers, bass cabinets and onto the floor leaving behind a muck that's crusty and unsure a constant reminder of raves from before i scrape it off my shoes as i walk upstairs to check out the funky trance that blares into people's faces it erases any traces of d...

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...
