The Seven Maybes and the God Awful Truth

Maybe I brought it all on myself
Maybe I offended someone's "god"
Maybe I fucked someone over in a past life
Maybe I am an asshole
Maybe I clueless
Maybe I am not as smart as I thought
Maybe I am in purgatory

Naw, some shit just happens
It'll all be alright, as always
Turn down the noise and what have you?
Bliss, just fucking bliss

Who am I to complain?
It'll all be alright, as always
I'm just way too accustomed getting my way
No time for patience

Storied and legendary
It'll all be alright, as always
Bar set way too high for self and them
Head full of thoughts

Friday

Creepy Old Fat Ass

Washed up
Nowhere to go
Dying an obese, sedentary death
Out of breath and time

Or not

Beginning of the beginning
Everything mine for the taking
Living high and mighty as usual
In tune with heaven and hell

God damn!

Come along and join
Or watch from sideline benches
Adventures are the makings of life
The ride gets better all the time

It's so good to be royalty

Read it Here

The caricatures from Denmark's Jyllands-Posten paper included drawings of Muhammad wearing a headdress shaped like a bomb, while another shows him saying that paradise was running short of virgins for suicide bombers.


"This is a far bigger story than just the question of 12 cartoons in a small Danish newspaper."

- Flemming Rose, culture editor, Jyllands-Posten


"No religious dogma can impose its view on a democratic and secular
society."

- Arnaud Lévy, editor in chief, France Soir


"I can't call a newspaper and tell them what to put in it. That's not how our society works."

- Danish prime minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, rejecting demands for an official apology


"I understand that it may shock Muslims, but being shocked is part of the price of being informed."

- Robert Ménard, secretary general, Reporters Without Borders


"You can understand the feelings of Muslims, but we're in a pluralist state. We have a right to do that."

- Dominique von Burg, editor in chief, Switzerland's Tribune de Genève


"My guess is that no one will draw the Prophet Muhammad in Denmark in the next generation, and therefore I must say with deep shame that they have won."

- Carsten Juste, editor in chief, Jyllands-Posten

Bad Motherfucker

I'm a bad motherfucker and you know this, but the pussy ass niggaz don't show this.

You a bad motherfucker? Yeah, hell yeah.

I'm a bad motherfucker and my bullet's gonna find you out.

You're a bad motherfucker if you dare to compete.

I'm a bad motherfucker with a bad rep I got a trophy in my mouth for every bitch I killed.

I Wonder

I wonder what people do with their free time?

With Eyes Open


My friend Lee was shot in the torso once
He said it hurt a whole lot
And the fear was even worse
Than the actual pain

The point is there is pain
And there is suffering
But it’s the fear that is killer
So fucking what, right?

With history unblemished
To a large degree
And integrity intact
Confidently I move forward

With less regard than ever
For rules or constructs
Created as shortcuts
For the dim or very lazy

Advice neither offered nor hinted
On career, life, or circumstance
Sometimes leading is best accomplished
With mouths closed

Heaved

Expectations and pressures
Heaved upon self and often others
Deadlines artificial and arbitrary

Motivation for productivity
Productivity for fulfillment
Fulfillment for life

Resting queued for death
In the interim the pushing
Until exhaustion and bliss

Chasing Down Desire

"...getting turned on was never a problem for me. I liked chasing down desire, and I had endless fun with the buildup to sex. It was the idea of someone wanting me that I found irresistibly hot, the tension of the moment right before. It was teetering on the precipice of ultimate untimacy with another person: the smell of his excitement, imagining what it would feel like to surprise him with a kiss, to lean over his body, to press my own against his, to feel the heat of that first physical connection..."

- Heidi Raykeil
