The sun is shining in my eyes and I left my fucking
sunglasses at home. You can feel the spring advancing, coiled venomous snake
ready to strike. I use to reveal in how random life was, now an old grey and
weathered fat drunk speaks to me at the bus stop like we were old friends. Was that a drone, there by the corner of the
building. I swear that was a drone. Why am I waiting on this bus? And why
won’t this drunk leave me alone? Excuse me, WHAT IS IT? Do I have a “fucking
care” look on my face? The construction continues across the street, loud and
noisy like Godzilla belching out a fur ball. Still the suns burns thru my
eyes as the breeze tattoos my face. “And the radio plays that forgotten song”.

havin' fun
Increasingly I find myself isolated, shunned, and avoided.
Yet at the same time I have this uncomfortable feeling in my gut that tells me
that my social media presence is being scrutinized by those who wish me harm. Diagnosis paranoid. After all it is
“social”. Look I have a follower! I have
come to a cross road in this existence, yet am forever stuck at that
intersection. An event horizon that eats time itself. And the snow is falling
for the first time this year. Stick wet snow that is coating the tree limbs
like cholesterol in arteries. In it’s silence I want to scream. The door to the
elevator closes. Action quarantined.
It seems like all I know is falling into pieces, the wound opening in my heart
sheds tears and the flame is extinguished. My pale skin is too cold to the
touch, bloated with fear. Enlightenment no longer keeps me warm and has become
a numbing burden cast upon the condemned. Finalization
Terminated.

you havin’ fun" -Green Day

Having a better outlook on life will lead you to success.
Really? Here’s an idea….FUCK You.
We have developed an industry of Inspirational self-help drivel that is being doled out in ever increasing fervor to placate people into believing that they have control over their lives and destiny. It has become a non-ending meme flow of “count your blessings” “don’t worry, be happy” pretentious pseudo advice to manipulated the forlorn and adrift population. A cult of feigned positive attitude for the culturally abandoned.....
So I started writing that the other day, then comes Beirut and Paris. I don’t know what to say anymore. People are assholes. But then again, maybe if I had a better attitude…..

found
The pain is constant, dull ache spreading engulfing
conquering, like the background noise of the air handlers. It is comforting, a
warm blanket to wrap around oneself and feel at home with. It anchors me to
this existence, my touch stone. And there are no worries, all is well, the sun
is shining, it is another day, this is truly bliss. Pain is bliss, it shows me that she cares. It
becomes my self-worth, my meaning, my future. Here I more than accept it, I revel
in it, enjoy it. It is my badge of honor, my sacrifice, my commitment, my
expression of love for Mother. And she lovingly turns the screw a little tighter.
Through it all I have found myself, I have purpose, I exist as a vessel for Mother
to fill with pain. Mother had flayed me
and I have found my true inner presence amongst the blood. I am here for Mother,
I love Mother and she loving and forcefully inflicts her will upon me. She
hurts me to show her love. Mother smiles at my cries of agony, I am happy, this is Paradise.

WELCOME BACK
Oh..where was I? Where am I?
I have been blindly following social media, drifting aimlessly
through the matrix, hoping someone, anyone is looking for me. But I get no
offers. Is our whole lives just a search for validation, recognition? There I
wander, I can see my shadow out of the corner of my eye. But to focus and the
whole quantum presence of it falls apart, crumbles and disintegrates. The
covalence is gone and alone I stand once again. Surrounded by multitude, yet
totally forlorn. So I guess, that I can say, that I’m at peace with myself.
Solitude, lonely, peace. See there is a silver lining on everything.
Awake,..I’m awake. Yet this all seems like a dream world.
One horribly realistic, HD version, virtual dream world. I try to reach for
analogies, searching for that phrase, that description, to make this all come
together. 42. And so my meaning is once again lost while I vibrate for an entanglement
that doesn’t exist.
I’m at work, yes this is work. This is my desk, this is my
place, this is my job. This is, this. What every it is it is, there is no hope,
there is no promise. Failure is not an option because success is not available. Peace, I am at peace, total peace, serenity.
Welcome

Today's Happy Thought
So in the end, it amounted to nothing. For when all was said and done, effort, dedication, accomplishments were all for naught. All that there is, is. There is no before, only this moment.
In the quite electronic green hum of the fluorescences her voice arrived as a cold sharp shiv stuck thru the back of the neck. “Good morning x, your assignment has been reallocated”. Her voice was different now. Over the long drawn out “Lean” season, it had changed. It’s tenure, it’s sharpness. When before, her personable approach only slightly vailed an underlying coldness. A coldness that had playfully enjoyed evil. Now, there is no vail, officially cold and strictly authoritative. No emotion, no connection, no humanistic qualities. Grey corporate dogma slithered out of bright red lips in a new ultra sexualized redux. Tummy tuck here, face lift there. Mother was gone. Her new title, M. Governess, as in line with the Lean methodology, quickly became shortened to the fashionable “Madam”. What is irony, but something that no longer could be afforded. Every morning the hoards would all line up, zombies, wherpeople, vamps, humans, trolls. Madam would lead us in reciting of our mission statement and values. Then we would march in corporate line to our assignments. There to labor, recording every 15 minute interval for the productivity matrix and to await Madam to call the numbers. Those who numbers were called, were never to be seen again. For numbers have no importance. Numbers are but arbitrarily imposed segregation and have no bearing on efficiency. And daily the corporate pace intensified, burning on new fuel in some far-off unseen mysterious furnace. “Good morning Madam, how can I help you today” I responded in a false cheery vibrato. “x, in alignment with the Enhancement and Employee Recognition Initiative, 62% of your resources will need to be dedicated to collaboration with the Mid County Empowerment Collective”. “But Madam”, I responded, “Mid County Empowerment Collective is not on our network and forty miles across the state. Presently I am required to dedicate 32% of my energies to Strategic Management, 75% of them to the Intrinsic Knowledge Group and 22% to the Learning Collaboration and Development Organization.” “Yes x, the Mid County Empowerment Collective is part of our corporate structure and your resources will efficiently engage and enhance Empowerment with Intrinsic Knowledge, Learning and Development. Are there any other questions?” Madam responded. “Yes, Madam”, inquisitively I probed, “where will I be stationed and who do I now report to?” “x”, Madam responded with that authoritative bureaucratic arrogance, “you will continue to remain on South Campus, when not required to be at MCEC. There within the Inner Circles of Hell, reporting to M.Dante as a class 5 Sub Administrator Pre-Director. Nothing has changed.”
And the days past on. Faint remembrance of time remands and I don’t recall the smell of fresh air, the color of the sky or the touch of the sun. Welcome to today. Lean, efficient, engaged, empowered, and full of satisfaction and happiness. So I am told, so it is.

a word from our sponsor....
Melodramatic….
Sometimes it is a hard thing to avoid. I have been pondering
lately, if I am being melodramatic (well I did use the word “pondering”) about
this whole thing called my life. “Shiit homie…yo ant got no life”
Well yea, there is that.
It seems that I have exceeded my data usage for this
existence. Unable to upgrade, I am forever trapped seeking free wifi zones. I
would have been all set if they let some of my old un-used yearly life data
roll-over. I knew I should have gone with that other carrier, Buddhism. But I
was always worried about their signal strength. Now I’m stuck in this contract
…for eternality….
Life mimics TV commercials, and I seem to be in the wrong
ones.
Really? The “truck guy” is so much more “macho”? Chevy, get
real, that is so base, and insulting. But then again, this is America, and
stupidity does rein. And when it reins, it…it…well..actually, around here, all
it has done for months now is snow. Snow, Snow, SNOW, SNOW, SNOW! All my world
is asphyxiated in white death. Sealed with heavy sugar frosting while sharp
barbed icicles teeth shine from eaves. Houses have become winter monsters that
have eaten their inhabitants. Trapped and isolated they are slowly being
digested into pail wild eyed schizophrenics that twitch and blink and talk in
hushed voices to themselves. Not only has it been the coldest February in
history but the coldest month ever recorded. I can’t stand the sight of the
fucking white shit suspended in the atmosphere. My temples, splitting and
aching from the cold, beating beating a deafening scream. Pounding out enormous
circadian rhythm, so fucking loud that I can hear nothing but a booming hiphop
beat. I want to put a fucking gun in my mouth and spread what intelligence I
have left over the white shit piles of ground ice glass. Loud, scream, pounding
beat that I cannot even recognize my own meloD……

Mary's little Frankie
My heart has stopped beating, all that is left is this
curser, slowly flashing on the screen. A rhythmic slow four beat. No blood
flows thru these veins, embalmed with alcoholic fluids, one would think that my
organs wouldn’t be rotting away. Can one call that irony? The length of stay
has exceeded the deductible. A half-life unto itself, it has more activity than
I. And the sky is covered in clouds, neutral grey banality that drags on for
infinite time. I didn’t want to stay, I didn’t want to come back here, I didn’t
want to be pieced back together. Now looking at the scars, somehow, I feel that
they didn’t do it right. Whatever, I guess then that you can call me
complicated and if the curser is the only living pulse, than I am truly the
cursed. Virtual life, virtual human, virtually worthless.
Pulsating curser, pounding, reverberating, damning. Why do
you haunt my psychic and nail me to this reality.
I have a new understanding and sympathy for monsters.
Frankenstein.

yopp
“This,” cried the mayor, “is your town’s darkest hour! The time for all Whos who have blood that is red to come to the aid of their country!” he said. “We’ve GOT to make noises in greater amounts! So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!” Thus he spoke as he climbed. When they got to the top, the lad cleared his throat and he shouted out, “Yopp!”
And that Yopp… That one small extra Yopp put it over! Finally, at last! From that speck on that clover their voices were heard! They rang out clear and clean. And the elephant smiled. “Do you see what I mean?... They’ve proved they ARE persons, not matter how small. And their whole world was saved by the Smallest of ALL!” “How true! Yes, how true,” said the big kangaroo. “And, from now on, you know what I’m planning to do?... From now on, I’m going to protect them with you!” And the young kangaroo in her pouch said,…
“…ME, TOO! From sun in the summer. From rain when it’s fall-ish, I’m going to protect them. No matter how small-ish!

waiting 2
She smiled at me, which shouldn’t have seemed odd, but it
did. “Hello”, she said with an
overtly joyful voice. “Good morning” I responded. “Isn’t it a beautiful day” she said, “I love summer days like this, it brightens up the whole prospect of
our daily journey”. Strange I thought, she doesn’t look or act likes a
zombie, yet the weather conversation? Something’s not right here. “Yes”, said I
with a certain non-comitial response, “summer days are nice”. “I’m sorry”, I continued, “I seem to have
forgotten your name”. “Oh, silly”,
she responded, “that’s because we haven’t
meet yet. My Name is Heather, and your name is”? She inquisitively
questioned. “X, my names X”, as I quickly delved for more information, “and
what do you do here Heather? I normally would know of a new employee coming on
board in this department, especially one as lovely as yourself, why hasn’t our
paths crossed”? as the old whore in me came out. “X”? She said furloughing her brow. “Oh, Mr X” she continued with a glint of recognition of my name. “I work for the consultants group”, now
with an adversarial tone in her voice, “I
am a part of the pre-screening team assigned to the new efficiency project”.
“Oh, LEAN, I heard you would be about", I responded.
The scampering, first you hear their scampering. Light
patter that stands out from the white noise of existence and the sound of your
tears dropping onto dirt. Then you see one, it’s face peering down at you in
the hole and sniffing the air, only to disappear as quickly as it arrived. All
the while, the scampering increases. There must be hundreds of them out there,
building up their numbers, increasing their presence. Just waiting in the
background to befall you and strip your limbs bare. There is nowhere to run,
and no one to listen to your screams. Inevitability weighs heavily on you, and
you feel like just another piece of cheese. For here comes the rats.

waiting room
How do you dig yourself out of a hole? Sitting at the
bottom, looking up the steep vertical sides to the small area of light at the
top where the sky once stood. One begins to realize that maybe you were a
little over zealot in your singular focus on digging. That your grand effort to
find a solution possibly may have taken you too deep. That your choice in a shovel,
might have been the wrong tool for the problem at hand. And it starts to become
hard to breath, there seems to be no oxygen left. Your eyes squint to recognize
the light and your aching sweating limbs begin to feel the walls closing in. Your
blistered hand, unable to grasp the shovel anymore cannot help the tears from
rolling out of your eyes sockets. Through rock and earth and grave you have
dug, believing that was the direction to your salvation. Only to find that the
dark solitude, the pit of your existence, was your own well intended efforts. The
mistakes I have made are but pail ghosts to the reality of this situation.
Painfully obvious, now standing at the bottom, that your efforts were for
naught. Misguided, stupid, wrong screams the earthen crypt and you have nothing
better to do but await for the rats.

tab
I have aced the first two classes, yet the sun doesn’t
shine. I come to this lost world with an inclining of what might have been,
only to find a desert lost in an oasis of all things. Seeking relief from the stifling
humidity of the crying air, I hope that this dryness will stop me from hacking
my brains out. At least I left the machete at home. Maybe I can find a sweet
cosplay girl. Is that really your blue hair? Nice horns, Shiklah? Yet, like the
lack of shade I get no offers. “Getting by, is the new Good”, my mantra,
slithers out from the hot dry sand, a poisonous serpent that hisses at my face
and claws at my eyes. And in the dark the sand fleas parasitically suck off my
weathered skin, taking what is left of my blood, leaving me a pale white walker
wandering across this wilderness. Can I use anymore nerdy references? Should I
bring out the geek in me? “Do I dare to eat a peach?” “I have heard the
mermaids singing, each to each”. So what
exactly am I whining about now? What would it be like to feel empowered? To
have some control over ones destiny? Could I still be whining about that same ‘ol
shit, really? One would think that I might have learned. Hi, yea I’m getting…b…GOOD,
I’m Good. Yea, Good, how about you? Hey, if you just open it in another tab,
then you will have both of them right there. You won’t have to use the back
arrow.
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous-
Almost, at times, the fool.

...uh..
My brain is nothing but mush. Gelatinous lard that just weightily lays there. Small waves of motion slowly move thru the mass as the sounds of the voices, the screams, the sirens and alarms ripple like spastic jello dampened reverb within. And there are no words to describe the semi-solid presence and apathetic nature of nothing. Yet still it exists, and a brain is a brain. I scoop it up off the night stand and drop it back into my scull. The soggy squishy sound it makes as it gloops into the void makes me want to puke. Ah, ready for another day. Wandering thru the fog, from obscure place to obscure time, I seek meaning in nothingness and can’t even gain amusement in the zen of it all. The halls are full of zombies, yet they too cannot stand the sight of my brain and stench of death that hangs upon me like an off color yellow paisley ascot under a white shirt. Here my days pass in a ie browser sort of way. Never quite realizing a given potential as the umbrella corp churns to destroy human kind. Dull is the color, the word, the meaning and zombie just want to talk about the weather.

Case in point
.........as in the case of “the person” and “the situation” as the influencers on behavior, research suggest that S be the primary most powerful influence, thus S>P. This seems to suggest that man is generally controlled predominantly by external forces in a reactionary and self-preservationist role. Though I feel that the understanding of how both S and P effects a person’s behavior is paramount to any leadership initiative, I think that to be generically suggesting that S is a greater influence of behavior is misleadingly repeating the “nature versus nurture” (Francis Galton, Hereditary Genius 1869) debate. I feel both both S and P are interwoven in a complex relationship that cannot be boiled down to a simple division of developed influences, and that "the person brings..........
So basically, I don't care, fucking zombie bossman. I'll put a bullet through your fucking head, and that has nothing to do with the situation.....

All this winter, all this cold.....
Yet the cold war is heating up.
How can I ever see even if the haze has been burned away by morning sky.
I feel old, warn down, and weary.
Crying didn't help, neither did booze.
And Lizzy is so cra cra
Yet a movie called Nymphomaniac is being released,
I guess things arn't all bad
Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by the sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

hanging myself again
I know how to tie it, thirteen wraps and it only tightens. A quick drop to snap the neck, she screams and the moans, then body fluids everywhere. “Always carry enough rope to hang yourself”, I’m fond of saying. And I mean that both figurative and literal. Ah noose around my neck, it is a comfort to feel your bite. Shall I swing, like a puppet on a string when the chair is kicked over and the stage is no more. You know, she said, pawing at the ends, that is a nice tie.

hanging myself
Arrg…I’ve missed so much. Almost could be the mantra of my life.
I was outraged at the push back from that stupid overhyped testosterone bowl and the Coca Cola ad, SERIOUSLY…not in english???. But did I write anything? I’ve once again been insulted by the right wing neo-Nazi tea partying Republican assholes and their blatant celebrated ignorance of EVERYTHING these days. But did I write anything? And now, the Olympics…there is just so much there, so much. You know, the Olympics, the world games where nation come together in peace and harmony to compete in sportsmen like ways and reaffirm the strength, glory and commonality of us as the human race….Yea right! Not in the God Blessed United States……WHAT’S THE METAL COUNT!!! GOLD, GOLD, GOLD BABY!!FUCK YOU, YOU SUCK!!! WE WIN YOU FUCKING LOSERS!!! YOU CHEATERS!!! TRASH YOU!!! USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!....someone shoot me now…..but how much have I written??
Anyway, I do have an excuse, feeble albeit. Started back to school, I thought it would be a good move both personally and career wise. I’ve been accepted into an MBA program. Now I spend that little available free time writing about what’s good for business, and organizational leadership. I thought that personally, this would make me feel more empowered, it hasn't. Some nghts, I get this really sick feeling that I made a big mistake. Now I am becoming one of them…………….

Twenty fourteen
So it’s the New Year. This is going to be your year! It’s YOU time, and you go, you. You are going to win this year. Nothing can stand in your way.
Well, what have you done? That winning thing must be going well. How’s those resolutions coming? Are you feeling improved? Exercising and losing weight daily? Cut down on your drinking? No chocolate, good for you! Optimistic and happy, it’s a bright sunny full of hope New Year, and the nights will never be dark again. 2014....yea…happy dance…
Guess that resolution about being sarcastic didn’t work out for me, oh well. Maybe I should just shut the fuck up.
