I've been stuck on this math problem all day,
I cant figure out this equation
I am just trying to stay focused...

focused,
I wonder where that word came from,
latin, German?

Didn't a teacher say something once about Germany, and a bad mustache?
something like that,
mustaches make me laugh,
especially when the person is wearing a hat...
                                                          ­                focus
there was this one time
I found this awesome hat,
so I bought it.
I wore that hat to a football game the other day,
the team looked really good,
the popcorn was amazing,
"hey look it's raining", wow, I thought
it was supposed to snow in December, not rain.

Hmm, I wonder what the chance is that it rains,
not snows...
                                                        ­         focus
chance, that reminds me of math class,
with the teacher named Lance Choo.

Choo, that's similar to 2...

AH HA!! The answer is
2

Next time I am stuck
I just need to remember
to focus,
on the math problem,
just like I did now!
FOCUS
problem solved.

Life,

it pushes you away,
then pulls you right back.

Do I make the move,
do I give it a shot...?

There's so much to question,
        consider,
              ponder...

is it worth it,
am I good enough,
have I been pushing too hard...

There are too many thoughts for one person
to think...

Should I go for it?

It's the,

little things,
the surprising things,
and the things done simply for the good
of someone else
,

that make the world go round.

*Happy Holidays!

Smile,
Laugh,
Dance some too!

Happiness is infectious.
Stick to it like super glue.

People need it,
and if you’ve got it,
flaunt it,
give it
share it.
With who?
Everyone!

Spread it like a contagion,
Be pleasant and sympathetic.
Everyone you see is fighting a battle,
of some kind.
So when in doubt remember these two things,
respect and humility.

Help ‘em out, and lend a hand,
Be the cause of a stranger’s smile,
one just might sprout on your lips too.

The joy of the season
fills the air.

People smile, and laugh,
and give to the poor.

There is a chill in the air,
a chill of winter, but somehow,
the shivers make smiles,
when warmed to the core.

Warm, isn't that the goal of this season?

Warm on the outside, and
warm on the inside, the soul warmed
with the love of an unexpected person.

You may not see,
who, what, where, or when...

But just wait, that person is lingering around you,
waiting to be heard.

Just wait, and you wont be cold,
anymore.

So large,
this lethal killer,
Some say its harmless, however, they might become bitter…
Towards these things that ****, ruthlessly ****.

You probably never have seen it do the deed,
unless you’re one of the unfortunate who cross the beast.

If you say the wrong thing, or look the other way,
it can take you by surprise
the moment you least expect it, it get you…

hide your kids, hide your wife, this kills
more than 10 people per year.

What is it you say that does all this damage…
I used one today, and I am safe,
I put
in my dollar and it dispensed a Coke.
I was lucky to be spared and not a statistic.
I find it strange, but Vending Machines **** more than ten people per year.

...
It’s here
It’s there,
...
It’s everywhere

You cant feel it,
taste it,
hear it,
But it’s there…

It’s in your stores,
Your fields,
Your streets,
Your homes.
…It’s there…

Whether you know it or
not,

It’s there

You may think you know,
Who it is,
     What it is
          Where it is

But you don’t.

You may ask what it is,
the simplest answer is

……………

It’s there
