bmx

BMX is life, it is everything

flying off a ramp

flying through the air

like a bald eagle

having no boundries

 

some fear flying like a lethal obsession

yet most stimulate their will to succeed.

few fly with the fallacy of future fame

few possess the future of fame and fortune

while shutting out phobias of great failure

 

phobias that power adrenaline rushes

 

The rushes that make your heart beat

like the beating of a thousand drums

 

The rushes that make your hands sweat

like ice melting in the summer’s sun

 

The rushes that makes your guts gurgle

like an earthquakes tremondous rumble

 

And then you go

you pedal profusely to gain speed

you hit the ramp….

perfect….

so very smooth….

 

flying, thinking

wow….

freedom….

time is going slow

A second is like a minute in your head

 

And then you snap back into reality

your coming down!

 

Thinking

am i going to succeed?

happiness?

going to crash?

saddness?

 

Your five feet from the landing

four feet

three feet

two feet

 

Freaking out

one foot left

half a foot

inches from contact

 

And then

you hit the ground

rolling away

away from fear

 

You prevailed

you overcame your fear

you succeeded

 

Thinking

that wasn’t that hard….

kinda scary,

but fun

 

Then you go for it again

with confidence

Always Be Around

thinking back in my younger days

i guess i was afraid

that i would never find

someone as true as you this time

but when i got older

i come to relize

that my life was changing

and love was not a crime

 

even though we have only known each other

for only a year

it feels like we’ve been friends

for all our lives

 

chorus:theres something about you

that makes me who i am

there is something about the ways

you make me understand

the beauty of life

and the road that we can take

i know my love for you wont brake

and i will always be around

 

thinking how i used to

pound the back of my head

wishing i was with you

wishing i was dead

some times i felt like

the world was turning pail

i felt like my life was slow

like a was a snail

 

even though we have only known each other

for only a year

it feels like we’ve been friends

for all our lives

 

chorus:theres something about you

that makes me who i am

there is something about the ways

you make me understand

the beauty of life

and the road that we can take

i know my love for you wont brake

and i will always be around

 

 

and i know that i love you

and know one will take my place

i am thankful now that i have you

your my sunshine in the rain

 

chorus:theres something about you

that makes me who i am

there is something about the ways

you make me understand

the beauty of life

and the road that we can take

i know my love for you wont brake

and i will always be around

 

i will always be around

Final Flight

Red sky at night, is a sailor’s delight,

For high above, a dragon takes flight

 

Her shadow is cast down upon the land,

As a gentle mother, takes her child’s tender hand

 

A legend, that’s long been, is she,

Her distant cries, are a song only unto me

 

To the edge of the earth, a dragon now flies,

Slowly, surely, through the endless skies

 

Far away, she soars,

and I know, those cries I shall hear, nevermore

 

At the time of a dragon’s death,

Even the stars hold their breath

 

Inside my heart, she will forever be,

a legend, kept deep within me…

Just Released

I am flying or Am I?

Is it just Im free?

I wonder what it is

This world is not so great anymore

I just realized Ive been Released

Into the world for the first time

Whats it like?

I still wonder this today

I float into a world of wonder and hate

Depression and love

Still I have just been released

What do I know?

Is it just my imagination

Whats this running through my head?

What is it I cant tell?

Is it sad?

No its not

Its freedom

Freedom is great

Is it because I was caged?

Does my opinion really count?

After all I was just released

What is it around me its so cold?

Its the world with its hate

It is?

I see now why its not so great to be released

I want back in my cage but they wont let me in

Why’d they release me?

I want back to my world where I matter, where I am alone

I was just released

I dont like this world

Why is it I dont?

Why do people say its so great?

I asked to be free

But I dont want to be anymore

I just can’t make it far

I want back in my cage

I dont want to be released…

Warmth

Lying here my eyes shut tight

Warmth surrounds me

Is it good or bad?

There is no telling

My body turns cold though its still there

The welcoming warmth

What could it be?

I feel my body aching

I feel warm liquid running down my lips

I taste it. Is it tears?

I still can’t tell what this warmth is

Is it blood? Perhaps it is

I am lying here

And people don’t see me

Why is they still don’t see me?

This warmth is still here

I dont think its tears

Is it blood?

I still can’t see

I try to open my eyes but I cant

Its so hard to concentrate

What is it I don’t know?

Perhaps its a dream

I still can’t tell

Why is it it is so inviting?

Is death knocking at my door?

Is it my one escape?

I still can’t tell

What makes it so warm?

My blood should be cold

Just like all around me

Am I different?

I still can’t tell

Everything is turning black

I suddenly cant hear

I feel the warmth surrounding me

Its so near

Suddenly I awake

The warmth turns out to be my sweat

This nightmare is finally over

Thank god I can sleep

Is it really over?

I can’t tell, I just awoke to the real world.

Still Don’t Know Why

These words seem to flow through my head

I cant get them away

I need to write them down

I don’t know why

These words seem to flow out of my head

To my fingertips

Was I meant to write about this?

I do not know

Things change people

Some people just don’t care

These words run through the pages

Like a wolf running through the trees

These thoughts flow through my head

Like a river of words

Why is they do this?

I do not know

I was inspired to write this by my friend

Or so I thought they were

I found out they weren’t

These words seem to flow from my head to my fingertips

Like the river is emptying into the ocean

Why is it I write about this stuff?

I don’t know

Its just something to write about I guess

Are words really that important?

Can you judge someone by the words

I really don’t know

These words just come to me…I still dont know why

It’s So Sad

Why is it this world Can’t see

What it’s like from my eyes

People yell at me for doing my best

People hate me for being me

Can’t they see

I am just being me?

Is it so hard to accept people

I don’t know why it is

I accept everyone I can

Does anyone care

I dont know

This world is so sad

It’s like a flower diing away

Why Can’t they see

This world will end with hatred and depression

Is god out there

Then why cant he help me

I dont see him in my dreams, in my prayers

He’s never by my side

Is he there?

People hate me for who I am

People hate people for how they look

Is it so hard to accept people that It’s a pain to do

Why can’t people see through my eyes

I see it so clear

Everyone hates me

And It’s the sad truth

I thought I had friends in this world

But I don’t

Alls the are is people.

Can’t they see through my eyes

Can’t they see the pains I go through

Is it fair to them to not even know me

I do not know

It’s sad how this world is

It’s like noone cares

It’s really sad

Cant people understand

It’s so sad…

Saying Sorry

I am saying sorry for ever coming into your life

forever being there

I knew you would never feel like I do

cause you just don’t know what its like

to be rejected around every turn

You can’t see through my eyes

And you can’t understand how I feel

You don’t know what its like to be me

I am saying sorry for living

I know you hate me

I don’t feel the same way

I love you

I always will but you make me cry

you break my heart when you yell at me

you break my heart when you cry

I am saying sorry for ever being here

This world is so cruel

I hope your happy you made me sad

I hope your happy you made me glad

I hope your happy you changed my life

I hope your happy I cried

I loved you

You treated me like I wasn’t there

You don’t know how I feel

I just don’t think you will

Can’t you just once know how I feel?

Can’t you understand me?

I don’t think you can

What its like to be me

Well its really sad

And now Im saying good bye so just leave me be

Never speak to me again

Bathroom Strategies for Men and Women

The Man’s Strategy for Going to the Bathroom:

1) Walk slowly and proudly up to the bathroom, make sure everyone knows that is where you are headed.

2) Enter the bathroom, and quickly check out the whole room

3) Look for the right urinal. This is how to pick your urinal: There must be at least one urinal between you and the next closest person (on either side) to you, if this is not available, take the urinal next to the wall, beside a ‘safe looking’ male. If this is also not available, glance at stalls, or leave bathroom, and return later, to get the right spot.

4) If proper urinal is available, approach urinal swiftly, looking straight ahead, never turning eyes or head. Another approach is to look at the floor, feet are always good as well.

5) Undo pants, relieve yourself as quickly as possible, keep head looking down (or eyes closed and head held looking up) this way no one will think you are trying to check them out.

6) Shake it off, put it back in your pants.

** Note Steps 7 and 8 are optional, but recommended in 45 of the 50 states.

7) Wash hands.

8 ) Attempt to dry hands. Look to see if a blow dryer or paper towel dispenser is close by. If not, your clothes will do just fine as a towel.

9) Exit bathroom, do NOT look back, you didn’t forget anything.

10) Check to see if your female companion has exited the bathroom before you, although highly unlikely, you must check anyway.

11) Wait patiently for her return, remember to NOT say things like, “Wow, what took you so long.”

———————————-

A Women’s Strategy for Going to the Bathroom:

1) Enter bathroom, and start checking each stall, but do NOT check the first one, first one is bad luck, even if tests prove that it’s always the cleanest. Look to see what stall is the nicest looking, deciding only after checking every available stall.

2) Decide which is the cleanest stall, and try to get to it before that other bitch who entered when you did.

3) Mutter “Slut” under breath, when she grabs the stall you wanted, and make a run for the one you wanted, or that skank who entered after you will get it.

4) Hang jacket and purse on hooks on door.

5) Take some toilet paper and wipe the seat, pretending you can wipe off all germs.

6) Line toilet seat with toilet paper! Germs are bad!

7) Start to take off all layers of required clothing, be sure nothing rests on the ground! Use all other hooks available if needed.

8 ) Sit down on toilet seat very lightly, as not to disturb layer of paper between you and the seat. Germs are bad!

9) Relax and let the flow go, but make sure your still sitting lightly, because the paper on the seat can’t move, or you’ll get germs!

10) Start to dispense the required amount of toilet paper from the roll. Fold into neat rectangle, and wipe all drips, very careful to not get germs from the seat!

11) Toss soiled toilet paper into toilet while standing up, watch out for the germs!

12) Start to put back on the 27 layers of clothing you were wearing, make sure it looks exactly like it did when you entered bathroom.

13) Put all toilet paper lining seat into toilet.

14) Flush.

15) Grab jacket and purse while unlocking door.

16) Walk to sink, and turn on tap.

17) Put hands under running water for at least 10 seconds.

18) Lather up with lots of soap, and be sure to get anywhere on hands that was exposed to germs!

19) Rinse soap off hands under water for another 10 seconds.

20) Look for paper towel, if there is none, mumble under breath, and stick hands under blow dryer for 4 minutes. NEVER WIPE HANDS ON CLOTHING! Make your move to counter/mirror section.

21) Put jacket to side, blocking that skank who was trying to get your stall from coming next to you, and make sure your as far away as possible from that bitch who took your stall.

22) Scoff at the way the bitch who took your stall looks. Her make-up is all wrong!

23) Spread out contents of purse on counter.

24) Touch up already perfect make-up, for no reason, be sure to take at least 2 minutes doing this.

25) Organize objects when putting back in purse, a messy purse is bad!

26) Put on jacket, laugh to self at that skank who wanted your stall her clothes are gross.

27) Walk out of bathroom, tossing head at the skank who is still putting make-up on, and make sure you gasp when the bitch who took your stall scoffs at you.

28) Find boyfriend outside, wonder how he gets done so fast … You were really quick this time!

Actual (Stupid) Label Instructions

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:

– On Sears hairdryer: “Do not use while sleeping”. [Gee, that’s the only time I have to work on my hair]

– On a bag of Fritos: “You could be winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside”. [Evidently, the shoplifter special]

– On a bar of Dial soap: “Directions: Use like regular soap.” [And that would be how…?]

– On some Swanson frozen dinners: “Serving suggestions: Defrost.” [But it’s *just* a suggestion]

– On Tesco’s Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of box): “Do not turn upside down”. [Oops, too late!]

– On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: “Product will be hot after heating”. [As sure as night follows the day…]

– On packaging for a Rowenta iron: “Do not iron clothes on body”. [But wouldn’t this save even more time?]

– On Boot’s Children’s Cough Medicine: “Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication”. [We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.]

– On Nytol Sleep Aid: “Warning: May cause drowsiness” [One would hope]

– On most brands of Christmas lights: “For indoor or outdoor use only”. [As opposed to what?]

– On a Japanese food processor: “Not to be used for the other use”. [I gotta admit, I’m curious].

– On Sainsbury’s peanuts: “Warning: Contains nuts”. [NEWS FLASH]

– On an American Airlines packet of nuts: “Instructions: open packet, eat nuts.” [Step 3: Fly Delta]

– On a child’s Superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly”. [I don’t blame the company. I do blame parents for this one!]
