#advance
And how would you live your life? When no rules exist, how could you be Where would you check your views To whom would you run for clues? You lay rules for all life; to live A grid line on what and how to be Not an inch your ideals bend And no broader your wits extend. But I don't just mean that you're strange Every reach in history builds your range But break your limits for once, Let your instincts run amok; advance.

Rules; if not there
Tyranny of the status quo - Of fiat money’s theft and shame But we escape - the way we know For Bitcoin changes the game Short term thinking - everywhere No discipline can we claim But now our vision we can share For Bitcoin changes the game Inflation draining what we save Pointing wildly for who to blame We find respite - no more a slave For Bitcoin changes the game Yes, we can vote, but see no gain We just get more of the same Now we can see the true campaign For Bitcoin changes the game We see our freedoms ebbing low How can we rise to fan the flame? We can help adoption grow For Bitcoin changes the game Act firm and stalwart in your stance Keep force and focus on your aim Join in and help this tech advance For Bitcoin changes the game

Some things don’t necessarily happen just by chance but come about with actions we do or not in advance. _________________

Simple Observation #341 - Some things ......
On a road, I don't know where it leads I don't care that I am lost Feet are burning but I continue on Determined to escape at all costs I will keep going until my knees buckle Regret following with steady pace Broken dreams viewed in my periphreals Cannot be fixed, salvaged, or replaced Mile by mile, distancing myself Unable to fully outrun lurking past Almost is as good as I get Have the lead for a moment but always come in last I travel at a safer pace I'm already immersed in danger Desperation grows as I lift legs Lengthy journey stretches riling anger There is no detour to avoid my confusing thoughts Maps behind eyes I'm striving to chart I stumble but I still advance I'll always follow my heart

I'll Always Follow My Heart
In arrow form storks, Wing towards the mountain at dawn; It’s one at the tip!

Storks advance!
Do ,do ,do The baby says "Do" The cats do, they do The dogs bark do The wolves howl do The lions roar do The play means do The all creatures do The God advices "do" You must also do Don't ever stop it Do not say "that is bad Comes ever with my luck" You may do your luck You do your chance Look to the baby look! When he tries to walk He fails times so that One feel that he can't walk He may cry from hurt Or feeling of frustrate He tries times and times As seeing the hope in eyes Of all around as he tries Do you see the ants? They may fail for times Of transport foods to lands But they try many times They can't get frustrate Or can't ever stop that They do their hard To get what they want Do you see that bird? When he is gotten from egg And the feather covers him He tries to fly over spray He may fail downword That he might be killed The viewer said he can't Till he could do it Do you see the calf? After born, he tries to stand His mother helps with that Pity appears over her face He gets happy and a hand To be power fear all world By his scream all are dithered Do your best Work very hard See all around Read all about New of science News that causes You will be in eyes You may get hard You may hear worst You must not stop When you do your dream When you get your wants All point to you All want to you To learn them the do How to be as you How to advance their know All will make you As the star over the all

To Whom It May Concern: I have been an artist since birth but clearly not genetically. My mother was a dentist’s apprentice, while I was in the womb. My father was a quirky astrophysicist and still amidst the devils, he is yet to find himself.   I on the other hand make sandwiches. I make sandwiches, I take photos, and I write the things that I sense or that I think I know. Very simple. I have never been one to understand the American dream, but I do respect my need for it. I knew the idealistic trend of the Internet very well, as I was raised in Silicon Valley, but the phrase “From rags to riches” never really penetrated my questioning soul. -------------- Instead, I found that the world was my oyster and I gregariously lived my life in the pursuit of one-dollar oysters. I have watched the seasons change. I have known the plight of love and I’m even wise enough to lead my heart by it. Elisa would tell you. -------------- I have gawked at knobby shadows falling on a wall traced out by a winter tree and then been entranced by the odds that I might be the one who sought out that beauty having been there to see it too. But more so, I have seen births. I have seen the vibrancy from which life unfolds. And I have seen the clenches of deaths fingers wrap around the neck of my most honored and beloved people. I’ve seen beautiful cities fall prey to oversaturation, I’ve watched the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean **** in pollution, I’ve seen fires blaze through the mountain sides of Santa Barbara, and I’ve watched the shoals bats that fly at the twilight summons from underneath bowels of South Congress Bridge, which is never bad. I’ve made friends, and I have made enemies both of which I love. I have been sick then been healthy and respect the values of their lessons. Some of the other things I’ve seen I’ll admit are unimportant. -------------- But I still watch the trickling patterns of rainfall and ponder at their stories. I still squint at the gleam of the ocean and beg it to tell me its origins. I will always gaze at the sky and I ask for a gust that might make the hairs of my arm tingle with delight, or nostalgic sorrow, or anything at all. I’ve questioned everything but what my mother told me. Not until I turned eighteen, did I start that. I’ve built batteries out of vinegar, aspirin, pennies and copper wire. I charge the insight of my peers by poking and prodding. I can braid hair, I can hop scotch, I can play the juice harp. I fight for the underdog. I fight for the tormented. I speak for the scolded, the hated, the sad, the abused, the forgotten, the forsaken, the foolish, the sinning, the begging, the beaten, the overworked, the shy, the lost, the hungry, the bilious, the old, the gruesome and the dead. I feast on alcohol where there is no other sustenance. The rhythm of chagrin bounces in my chest, as a drum would beat in a symphony of regret.   But I strive on as if it was a sacrifice to the holy aliens that made the Maya sacrifice too. This is my blood. It gushes from my blue veins as I apperceive the meaning of that throbbing pulse. I know the consequence of the truth behind our movement. A world founded on humanity, imperfect and failing at all. Life in this universe must be special. It’s the stardust in our physical, human elements that makes this magic true. We ooze with the likeness of nothing else. Our ancestors welled up with stardust and DNA from somewhere else. Our sweat, made up of passing galaxies, dripping tears of organic thought into the trickling river of time. That alone must be something to capture an imagination.

Simple Observation #209 - Something really great doesn't ever...
It's simplistically the most painful baring ever, the world is rotating slowly alongside that time, we grow. I sit here not amused with myself, in every form of way, I honestly want to be grateful for everything, but it is never enough for me. I look at the clock going off in my mind, ticking every single second away. I stare at the walls which slowly decorate themselves, but realistically always look the same. I feel myself slowly urging to advance yet never seem to do so. I see myself crying inside, I want to let out yells and I don't know why. A woman can paint her life away, staring at the same objects happily, yet I am here sitting here writing the same **** things over and over until they satisfy me. Why do I stress out on being so perfect to the eyes of others?
