Ego Boost – poem, 2/11/12, 1:50pm

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"

Get off my lawn

A lil rhyme inspired by an ancient booty-call attempting to hollar at me out of nowhere. You should know that you're barking up the wrong tree Homie That you'd even try sniffing around goes to show how little you know me I don't know if you were just drunk or lonely But you should lose my number, like I did yours I had to reverse ID the 661 area code that popped up on my screen Anytime I see those three digits I automatically screen the incoming call and assume the worst So glad that place and state of mind are in my rear view 'cuz it hurts to reflect on how broken and askew I was then Too busy being consumed by doubt and shitty men like you Thankfully, I grew blossoming like a wisteria tree I learned to stand on my own two feet and find true love and community So, despite what you think you know It'd be best if you get gone and stay the fuck off my lawn {08/30/2021 - RCH}

"the scheme of things" (orig posted on myspace 12/22/08)

"my car is like my own personal universe she's my drug and it only takes 12 bucks to fill 'er up and in my galaxy there ain't no room for earth so i'm leavin it cuz i can feel my oil pressure building up turning over the ignition of my solar system check the gauges, push in the tape put my foot on the brake shift existence, light my cigarette and take it state to state until i crash into my fate..." -slug (atmosphere) it doesn't matter what may have happened during the day, i know that The Mountain will always be there for me. i hit the streets in the direction of my favorite local peak, feeling relief at just the thought of traversing its glorious twists and turns. a pang of excitement runs thru me like electricity as it comes into view. regardless of how many times i have been up here, i get the butterflies as i enter the canyon and accelerate into the great abyss. all my problems dissipate as i turn into the apex. i feel the stress and neg...

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. 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...
