			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>to take a moment to reflect on my surroundings this time last year: Texas. humidity. misunderstanding. unproductive solitude.</p>
<p>i had more in one way, and much less in more way than one. my creative growth was stunted. my days long and frustrating because they were of someone else&#8217;s design. the friendships i had reached a brink, and there was nothing left to learn from them. <strong>everyone let me down because i allowed them to.</strong></p>
<p>i moved out of my mother&#8217;s house on November 16th, 2010 and today, i couldn&#8217;t be more happy with that adjustment. because <strong>home truly is where the music is</strong>, and <strong>home is truly the place you make it</strong>. and<em> i personally need music to survive</em>. that phrase as of late seems to sum up my current state of affairs.</p>
<p>it seems i&#8217;ve broken hastily away from the 9-to-5 way of life.. simply a wanderer, a traveler. <strong>a vagabonding soul with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and true happiness, healing and creation.</strong></p>
<p>i&#8217;ve never had a problem being the shag stoner: i enjoy spending time alone. especially when i have the word in me or the effigy in my mind that reminds me of my grandeur. <strong>i set aside the time to glory in my idealism.</strong> <strong>i am enriched by my sublimity, and therefore i can enrich with my sublimity.</strong></p>
<p>i have my eye on a prize. on a mountaintop. on a land that exists because i&#8217;ve put in the work and seeded the hillsides with my whole beating heart.<strong> i sit beneath the trees of my own intellect. i bathe in the suns of my own perception.</strong> i have no choice but to dispel any individuals who disagree with my methods&#8211;this isn&#8217;t your land to govern.</p>
<p>i&#8217;ve been awarded this exquisite new insight. i smile most often.  i am pleased with this path i find myself on. i have peace and order within my circumstances, and positive chaos and confusion where they too must be.</p>
<p>i no longer look back. i no longer wonder.</p>
<p><strong>i know. and i am the know.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>in only a few days.. but it felt smooth as shit. <strong>glad to be back to my bowl. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:right;">(background sounds: <em>Inglourious Basterds/ </em><strong>I Can&#8217;t Make You Love Me, Bonnie Raitt</strong>.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;">today has been one of superbly weird thought.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">and this marijuana is dissecting my image. in the most comfortable, and freeing, and incredible way.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">i have a note on in my <em>MemoPad </em>named &#8220;<em>sayings.</em>&#8220;&#8211; a note i started taking down while flying with<strong> Jane</strong> sometime ago. at times such as these, i rip my little fingers to shreds typing on my tiny keyboard.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">but really quick because i&#8217;m still beside myself about it: <strong>why&#8217;d Rick Ross have to lie though? </strong>if he only he would&#8217;ve told the truth. i could&#8217;ve propped him up! he&#8217;s an extremely convincing dude..</p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em><strong>Prince</strong></em> was so incredibly head-on with his line:</p>
<p style="text-align:right;">&#8220;<em>i&#8217;m not a woman, i&#8217;m not a man, i am something that you&#8217;ll never understand.<br />
&#8220;;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">so many young people have ridiculously irrelevant reasons as to why they connotate negative things with his ways. that line just sums his shit right up for ya. <strong>i strive to be more like that line everyday.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Julian Casablanca&#8217;s </strong>cover of <strong><em>I&#8217;ll Try Anything Once</em></strong> has a spectacular line too:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;<em>10 descisions shape your life, you&#8217;ll be aware of 5 about..</em>&#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">but what if some people are only aware of 2 or 3?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">such is life though i suppose.</p>
<p style="text-align:right;">i&#8217;d like to be presented with my 10 when  i pass on to my next life.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:right;">(background sounds: <em>You Don&#8217;t Know My Name</em>, <em>Alicia Keys</em>.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>i have this STUPID insatiable urge to cry at the moment.</strong> i won&#8217;t, but i feel right on the brink.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>there&#8217;s a guy. i grew up with him, we grew together. i&#8217;ve been told i was in love with him. and he&#8217;s resurfaced as of late.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>but i think a female has taken his spot.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;">i purchased some video editing software yesterday. <strong>i have such visions for some captivating shit.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>i don&#8217;t appreciate people making assumptions about my person.</em> <strong>it&#8217;s very fucking irritating.<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>No Children </em>by <em>The Mountain Goats </em>is an incredibly sick song,</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">and kind of encompasses how i&#8217;m feeling today, i think.</p>
<p style="text-align:right;">i don&#8217;t even really wanna go home next month anymore. i kinda lost all motivation/excitement in the last hour or so.</p>
<p style="text-align:right;">
<p style="text-align:center;">i&#8217;m gonna be in a bad mood the rest of the day. bleck.</p>
