Take the Power

New Song.... slightly harder than the others...




You take the power
You take the power away from me
Take it everywhere you  go
You take the power away from me.




VERSE
We all see the disease
It's taking over, spilling through every one of our streets
But no one ever seems to question where this beast is from
Nevertheless, it doesn't matter, our society's numb
We just sit and complain, it's all insane
It makes no rational sense when you're looking for change
But in the end it will not matter what you do, to me
Cause very deep inside your soul, lies the problem, you see? mother fucker!




BRIDGE
Tell me what it is you bring
To humanity
Ask yourself one thing,
What the fuck is wrong?




CHORUS
Living large inside your cave (fuck you)
But you say that you want some change (fuck you)
Contemplate why you're still a slave (fuck you)
Wake the fuck up you're still the same...




VERSE II
Now your dream is quiet
It's crying loud and stark in the shadows of riots
You can try to opress it without knowing you missed it
Accept that you're the master and world is submissive
So now its December and your brain deceives
You just better remember that you're always asleep
And when your digit's called up, and it isn't your fault
You just remember that no destiny is ever installed, fucking slackers!





BRIDGE
Tell me what it is you bring
To humanity
Ask yourself one thing,
What the fuck is wrong?




CHORUS
Living large inside your cave (fuck you)
But you say that you want some change (fuck you)
Contemplate why you're still a slave (fuck you)
Wake the fuck up you're still the same...

Time is...

Sitting at the top I come across a scare.

In my mind comes a time that I cannot bare.

'Cause through the process of the memory, it deceives.

Time cannot be twisted, you see?

I'm quick to the draw, there's no moss on the stone.

I go along the stream, but then against the flow.

Questioning the choices I've made in the past,

and love is always full in the glass.

Stranded illusions.

Life can't be easy when you've realized you're all you've got.

Lost in confusion.

Time's never perfect and tomorrow we may all disappear.

Through the Ocean Waves

It's kind of dark outside and I wonder...
Why? Oh, why?
The ocean waves are still and silent..
On this lonely night.

It'll be my little secret
Just like the way it used to be
The sunlight is around the corner
It's giving hope to all the broken dreams

The cars roll by as we're wasted
Idling away
While dust collects as it gauges
The thoughts that I cannot forget

It'll be my little secret

Just like the way it used to be

The sunlight is around the corner

It's giving hope to all the broken dreams

S.O.S.

It doesn't matter, just take the road, it's there for you to follow.
It doesn't matter if it leads you to me tomorrow.
Years have passed us by, but nothing's ever gonna change.
I yell and scream, I shout out for some change.

I believe that time, it doesn't like me, but I don't care anymore

Tomorrow we're writing this novel of shit.

Girls, they follow, but the feelings are just too hollow.

And around the town, everybody sings.

----

Let's take a break, evaluate the things that didn't fall through
<<missing--insert line here>>>
My drive cannot compete with moments of hesitation
But it's clear, my dear, that here we go again!

I believe that time, it doesn't like me, but I don't care anymore

Tomorrow we're writing this novel of shit.

Girls, they follow, but the feelings are just too hollow.

And around the town, everybody sings.

It's all the same old shit again (sing with me)

The same old shit again

There's a friction that will never give in, but I don't care

I don't give a fuck anymore.

humans are funny creatures

we're smart yet we lean towards cheats
we're never satisfied.
we strive for our values
but we neglect survival

we do first and think second..
at least most of us do.
im changing that.

life is too beautiful. i see the formula for happiness.
all it entails is focusing on high points and learning from failures.
thats it.

its important not to forget--which is to say, remember--use the knowledge from your missteps, apply them.. and bam! life is yours to enjoy!

look!

look! all i am saying is that youre born into this world with a set of obstacles set within your life. be what they are, its up to oneself to recognize them and surpass them in stride. have bad days, have good days. enjoy the good ones and let time take care of the bad ones. ive been fortunate to overcome some obstacles, and i too have failed some big ones. the memory of my failures still linger, and the pain from them only make me work better towards becoming a better person. i live life to a high degree of excitement. whether its relaxing at home admiring the seldom momets of isolation, or it entails exploring the fruits of this world. i live life well and i plan to continue sharing smiles amongst loved ones. because where i am poor in one end of the scale, i am wealthy on the one that matters. i love you. life is beautiful.

Iowa to Guatemala...

I got a contract to ferry an airplane.

flew to des moines to pick it up. i had to stay in a hotel before i could take the 2 hour bus drive to the tiny town where the airplane was located. couldn't sleep. spent the whole night talking to the front desk lady. she was actually quite refreshing. left to fairfield, IA in the morning. spent the day sleeping and planning out the route. picked up the airplane the following morning. left around noon. made it to houston by 7. spent the night with a friend. had some real good texan bbq. smoked out (it had been a long time since my last time) and hung out. good times.

slept 3 hours before i left to the airport. spent 2 hours figuring out some paperwork issues. made it out of the airport at 12pm. after another stop in texas, i made it to mexico. thought about staying in mexico. i didn't. flew at night over very high terrain. made the mistake of not getting a thorough weather briefing. spent the night flight dodging a massive thunderstorm. was over a pitch black area over the pacific, admiring the gorgeous sky and evading the scary thunderstorm. 3 hours after departure i start seeing the lit skies of guatemala. i see clouds and enormous volcanoes, lit up by the moon's light. i get to the hotel and knock out, ready for my flight tomorrow. i get to the airport. troubles at the ticket counter. my flight back isnt for another day. i go back to the hotel, embarrassed. made the best of it and took a tour of guatemala. checked out the ancient town in guatemala and had my cab driver as a tour guide. ate at the best restaurant in town and let me tell you, it was delicious! made the walk back to the hotel and was given bad directions. i got lost. i loved it. it was great walking through the streets, the parks filled with amorous couples. the day was as perfect as can be. light winds. about 75 degrees. and low humidity. a long day of walking led to a long nap at the hotel... and so.. here I am.. ready for my flight el salvador, and then back home. more trips to come.

i love life.

Love and Health

Two items that can and cannot be controlled to some extent by only you. Yesterday, the uncontrollable part of my health went awry and it scared the shit out of me when I couldn't control my blood pressure. The end result? Well, it motivated me to become more healthy.. things have been slipping... slip no more, bad eating habits.. slip no more..

Murphy's Law

Sunglasses, car, cell phone. 3 things that broke today. Probably the most costly of all the items I use on a day to day basis. Why? I'm not sure why. I guess it was just time for all the things to go wrong at the same time. Does it suck? Yeah. Am I gonna bitch about it? Well, not more than whatever I write on this blog. It is what it is and I've realized that from time to time, great things are gonna happen and when they do, they usually happen sequentially. Likewise, when things go wrong, they really go wrong. Life isn't always peachy, we all know that. So if we know that, why do people always complain and overuse the the "fml" phrase? People need to appreciate more of the important things. This is what I'm appreciating right now: I have a car, I have a future, I have good health (this is a biggie), I have great friends, and an awesome family! Bam! I feel better about all the crap that went wrong.

a new year

a new year is among us. it seems like every year we come up with resolutions that are very similar as the years past. nope. not this year. at least, not for me. this is the year where i will reflect during the summer. i will look back on all the resolutions ive accomplished and all the resolutions that are still in progress. this is the year where i completely forget all the negativity and focus on the positive outlook of my life. i will completely eliminate all toxicity and improve my productivity. this year is my year and im uber excited to get things rolling. are you ready?! this is gonna be fun.
