A Working Man

                                           If God don't forgive me, he is not a working man"

         It is automatic that when you do wrong, knowingly or unknowingly, God will forgive you. For every lie your lips spoke, every deed your hands have done, every unclean thought your mind has processed, and every desire that dwells in your eyes. You know that if the world does not forgive you under any circumstances, God will. His forgiveness is with a open mind and heart knowing you will soon sin again. But when that day comes and you are not forgiven, you know God has truly take a vacation from work.

Unwritten

                                  " In my writing, I want to be laid bare as a human being"


        In my writing I want to be laid bare as a human being. I want to be open with the words I print onto paper. I do not want to hide any taboo thoughts or leave anything unwritten. As a "bare human being", I want my words to wrap around every curve of the mind and embrace everything words are not suppose to. My writing should upset you, insult you, and belittle you. On the other hand, my writing should encourage you, humor you and take your mind on an endless, unforgettable journey. And if it does not, I will put my pen down forever.

The Struggle

       " Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor"

      This quote seems to reign true. Day to day people working a 9 to 5 to make ends meet, gathering all the change they can from work. Yet, the hours are not equivalent to the money being made and whatever is made is gone before your check is in your possession. Paying your way for transportation or even a dollar bottle of water is out of reach. Being "poor", one would hope it to be a luxury. you can sit back and pay for absolutely nothing. Being poor is a job within itself, then again what really is poor? It is the lack of, so if you had a pocket over flowing but your mind lacking knowledge and a heart without love. Are you in poverty?

I don't believe that I am coldhearted or ill tempered. I can't be an old lady just gave me a random hug and said that I am very respectful or that I have the right manners. I can't remember verbatim. Sheesh maybe I am getting old. I feel as if I'm losing focus or maybe I'm just not going doing enough...but when I tell other my schedule they think its a lot..maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself as always.  I dislike the rain so much...I'd probably be more understanding if I had rainboots which is my own fault. Today I hope we get to cook what he wanted and I hope it is a good day. I have to start on my sociology paper and complete my Biology homework becasue time is ticking.  I have to go hard because I want to leave home. In my mind I've already exceeded so why am I not living up to my full potential? I feel crappy today and I need them to stop.

   Memory specialists say that the best way to make something stick in your head is by associating it with something humorous. My favorite commercial is of the old man holding a dollar in front of a woman with a fishing pole, then snatching it away when she reaches for it. He then says, "You almost had it." After the punchline the State Farm name and logo are shown so that you will always associate that company with a good feeling. This is done cleverly.
   Entertainment is the most influential element in our society. You can control values, fashion, and even standards of living through music, movies, and other forms of media. I've seen that in small country towns that gravitate towards the same things that are common in big cities, despite that they've never seen them except on television.

“ I would rather entertain and hope that people learn something than educate people and hope they were entertained” – Walt Disney

    Entertainment always left  the good memories for a long time, whereas the education could be boring, like someone could say. Why we easily  remember the places, where we were entertained and hardly memorize the historical dates and mathematics formulas? Does it mean, that they are not sufficient things to keep them in mind? No, it is the job for our brain to know it, the hard work to be smart and educated. Being such person, you can easily find the benefits in any entertainment, as a pleasant job for your brain.

     “There was this funny thing of anything could happen now that we realized everything had.” –Raymond Carver

     All of every everything has already happened in the modern world. You want to paint something? Whoops, someone rendered that concept three years ago. That funny joke you just thought up? I saw that on reddit last week. Your paper topics, your thoughts, even you, are not special. There are seven billion other people stuck on this crazy fucked up spec in the sky. If you think you’re special, well, your deluded.

     Oh, Education! That’s how you’re special! Haha. Ha ha. Ha. ha. There are millions of other people out there with a fine education. There are PhD students who can’t find a job flipping burgers. Let’s face facts for a second, you’re uniqueness is a farce and you’re probably shit out of luck. It’s bleak, but it’s also true.

     Your face? Oh that’s cute. You think your looks or your style set you apart? I hate to tell you, honey, but there are only about one billion different combinations of physical features a person could have. Even if you’re not a twin, you share your face with at least two or three other people.

     Everything’s been done. Every feeling you’ve ever felt, every combination of utterances you’ve ever tried to bring about has already been said. Hell, I’m basically cribbing the entire message of this paper from a high-school graduation speech I watched on fucking YouTube last year.

     You’re not special. No one is. That’s the beauty of it. So either get busy accepting it, or don’t, but either way, someone already made that choice before you.
