Feeling flat. Flat to give. Flat to take. Running
out of gas. Running on empty. The fuel light is on
and you just want to see how far you can go.
How far can you go on empty?
Feeling the Monday blues on Wednesday.
I haven’t invested enough time in this process or that process.
Never enough. Always more.
I’m hooked. I’m twitching. Twitching to do more. Be
more. See more. Experience more. Weaned on Atari.
Programmed by Nintendo.
And cracked out on Reality T.V.
I rush home for it. I schedule my night around it. Becoming a
statistic. Just another number. And loving every minute of it.
Ace is dreamy. Paris is sassy. Elliot can really sing.
Mandesa has soul. Taylor is a real musician. And I’m just
watching. Hanging on ever minute. Every high and low note.
The reality is we have a war still going on. I don’t make enough to buy a house.
My health can be an issue at any moment. There will most definitely
be another terrorist attack in the U.S. The planet is over populated.
My career isn’t going quite the way I would have hoped. But thankfully I have a wonderful new born baby girl and a loving wife.
We don’t know where we will be one year from now, or even tomorrow. But on Tuesday night my show comes on. And we can count on that. We can count on not thinking. Not worrying for an hour. And stop everything with 40 million other viewers and watch American Idol while everything keeps going on around, in and about us. Globally. Politically. Strategically. Environmentally. The world keeps on a changing.
Change may be constant. But when one becomes inundated with it on a daily basis human coping mechanisms seem to tune out what is important and turn on what isn’t. And the wonderful thing about it is, I am not ashamed. I have something to look forward to.
Ace is dreamy. Paris is sassy. Elliot can really sing.

watching. Hanging on ever minute. Every high and low of life.

This is truth. You gave content, because you chose to be vulnerable. I am feeling very similar, with a wife and two kids, looking into the future but getting burned by the light. I have to use coping mechanisms to buy time. I get stuck on Nibiru and pole shifts. I get stuck on global warming and hurricanes. I find that it compels me to admit that there is no free will, only will within the confines of an environment. I am confident that some are more free than others.
