My cat is old.
He snors when he sleeps.
He has Arthritis in his legs.
He is a indoor cat.
Except when he grabbed a dead bird and drug it into the house.
Yes my cat is old.
But I love him dearly.

The hills over this rocky strech of road are greener,
that contain the things I want in life.
Success, a happy family, you name it.
I am wanting greener pastures. But it is going to take some time like a press conference for Obama
announcing his latest economic plan. Yes the greener pastures are coming its just tough right now to wait for it.

Lately I have been frustrated over life in this country of ours so here are some grieveances I want to air out.
The state of Nevada doesnt give a shit about educated workers.
The wait for work is very irritating like a itch on my back.
I wish I had disposable income so I can shop this holiday season for others.
But I cant because my money is running short.
People calling me about going back for my masters are helpful but too damn pushy.
Yes I have grieveances but hopefully soon these grieveances go away.

I am going so quickly on job applications, I have lost count how many I have applied to.
I am going way too fast in this process.
I am treating this like NASCAR.
Going 200 mph a hour a Daytona.
With one goal in mind a job.
So for once in my life I hope to slow down the process.

I look back at my life and I think to myself I made the biggest mistake of my life.
I should of said something to alert you my friend that it was going south.
I should of talked to your family about this problem I had years ago.
I am sorry I made the biggest mistake of my life.

I should of realized my life is now ruined because I didn't use my brain wisely.
I should of moved forward in my life instead of suffering.
I should of talked to someone.
I am sorry I made the biggest mistake of my life.

We are watching your every move in the airports of america
like the stock market every day.
We are telling you that this is the way you should talk about
other cultures because we are the thought police.
We are telling you that we will close your fun establishments early
because we want to change the culture.
Yes folks Big Brother is watching.

We are demanding you buy into the TSA agenda of taking away your privacy at airports.
We are demanding you sacrifice freedom because 9/11 was our way of starting the New World Order
Yes folks big brother is watching your moves.

The bottom of this chain is scary, frustrating
like a puzzle you can't solve.
You try to move up the chain but it is difficult
then finally you do, now go seize this chance
to become the top animal in the food chain.
You bust your ass to get to the top sacrificing
friendships, relationships, even marriage.

Your almost there, what to do?
Oh I guess I will have to outwit the boss
at this game of human chess and finally
I will be at the top of the food chain.

I wonder sometimes is my father getting Alhzheimers like
a psychologist trying to figure out someone.
Is he truly losing his mind or is it something that is in his
character?
Is my father confused or just bitter ?
Do I think he is a liar or someone that has the early stages
of Alhzheimers?
I am confused.

He apoligizes like a husband to me but do I believe him?
Do I believe his statement that he " loves me"?
I dont know what to believe.
I am confused.

I dont believe that youll change
I dont believe what you said
Your still a lying piece of shit.

I dont believe that your attitude towards life will change
I dont believe that youll be more responsible.
Your a pathetic human being.

I dont believe the excuses that you make for work
are legit because your narrowinded.
I dont believe in your character and personality.

Like Hitler over Germany
Like Saddam over Iraq
Like Chavez over Veneuzla  
My father is a control freak.

I want control of everything
Do as I say or else
I dont care what you want
I control you.

I am tired of you backstabbing me
Stop being so controlling
and ignorant you bastard

We don't care if you went to college.
We don't care if you have a degree.
We don't care if your educated.
We don't care.

We don't care about your energy.
We don't care about the desire to move up.
We don't care about your desire to succeed.
We don't care

We only care about uneducated sheep.

The pain of losing your friend is hard.
The pain of losing your pet is harder.
The pain of losing your mother is difficult.
The pain of losing your home is extreme.
The pain of losing your life is really sad.

Pain it comes, Pain it goes.
Pain can occur temporarily or it could be pernament.
Pain it is apart of our lives.

The business has closed.
Your with out a job.
Yep the city is empty.
Darkness surrounds the building
Like a shadow at five o clock.
Yep your empty as well.

The end has come
Oh why did you have to close?
My hometown Reno slowly
Turning into emptyness.

Squares
Circles
Buses
Cars
Jobs
Desks
Televisions
You just exprienced Randomness.

My family is diverse like food on a plate at a restraunt.
My family gets along as a cohesive unit.
My family is short on college graduates.
My family are working class workers.
My family is busy and usually has a hard time getting together for the holidays.
My family is awesome.

We all fear going to jail, the fear of being finger printed, the fear
of losing your freedom, the fear of embarassment.

We feel uneasy about sitting in a cell with no TV just walls and no music to keep you sane.

We are fearful of spending a long time in there if we make a huge mistake or if we just fucked up by doing something stupid.

Jail a place of fear that makes you scared.

We as humans are apathetic, whether you like it or not.
We don't care on some cases about who won Idol or
Which celebrity is in rehab. We are apathetic souls not caring
about meaningless crap.

The football team up on the hill, the neighbor that you don't talk to
Yes it's apathy. Apathy is like sitting in your own world not caring about anything or anyone but yourself and if you do that too long
Then it's dangerous.

To me the Republicans screwed America,
corporate greed, taxes for the rich, and
cutting education are digusting. Republicans
also think gay marriage and social services
are sinful. Please they are not.

Oh how I wish we were more progressive in some areas
economics, increasing spending, accepting others and
increasing help to those in need would surely make
America a better place
