Been a Long Time Since I Rock' n Roll (ooo let me get it back)

Devotee's will be glad that I am still alive. (Maybe) 

I am currently typing at a cafe down the street. My local wifi mooch.  Dont worry I bought something.  

I am ramblin' and gamblin' , its seems so very long since I had solid ground. I'm waiting on so many letters. I'm waiting for them to tell me my life. Its quite chaotic to sit and wait. What happened to the patience, the man on his back kicking to shore. This is isn't the time cling to marquees and the failure of role-models, and it isn't the time to wait for something better to come along. I just sit here and eat my bagel. Then head to the next task. 

I will be very busy this summer, regardless of the letters written. I hope this is not a jynx I tend to fall into. I say something and do just the opposite. I call it...wasteofspaceitis. If I am not a fraud, come visit me. I will give me something to work for...and I mean that. (Mom your time will come).  

While this post is of little depth, thought or relevance (in the cosmic sense)...every once in a while you just want to put something down. Even bad foundations work for a while...


Salute!

Don't Fear the Reaper


Took this while walking home with Kev. It speaks for its self.

Finals are in full effect. The word sucks, so does the task. Education should acknowledge the terminology of medicine and law, "practice"...cause few things are absolutely final. Medicine is far more loyal to the term than law, law has the habit of rooting things in the name of convenience and rarely in justice.
"This is will be one nation, under the dollar, with liberty and justice for none"-Lisa S.
Education determines that there is no room for improvement or progress...learn, test, end. I guess this is my cry in the dark, for I have upset the system more than one time. This could be an effort respect the teachers that dared and defied...that it wasn't about the facts but the unknown. To know that you'll never, know and still seek it. We push so fast to get into the cubicles, into the fenced back yard, into the 401K. This isn't about survival its the human experience of compassion, choice, and reflection. 
Hitting the ground running is impossible. Don't worry, if you can put the food on the table what more should you have to worry about. Creepy to think about living just to survive. You may not know many people who do just that, but we've heard of them...we see them... we walk right on by. So all this testing is for what? Security? Investment? The reason we learn could so that we understand how to work intuitively, and gain as much perspective as possible, forever. Not so someone else tells us that we can work. Modern jobs don't want free thinkers. They want precut, pre-formed, precision instruments. The numbers and letters say so much more than word of mouth does anymore. It seems like a waste of humanity it ignore the eager. We should install more apprenticeship programs! Sure you can get a decent job, administrative assistant, Mac Specialist. But there is a responsibility to the eagerness. Its a shame for the anxious to get lost in stubbornness of greed. Education seems to prepare us for confinement, specialization, and contempt...Be careful of the large buildings springing up around you, I will stick to my scythe. 

Good luck to all dealing with your finals.
