Conservatively Hippy

As you know we either are left brained or right brain each having different characteristics of behavior. Since I am a right-brained person not being particularly good at remembering facts but rather creative and tend to dream a lot. Sometimes having a situation that is represented from a person with the characteristics of a left brained person who is very mathematical and tends to be more logical. It can be difficult for me to comprehend what the heck the person is even talking about.

Writing a bunch of complex things, although can make someone look very clever, but in reality it’s easier for everyday people to word things in a more everyday language; in my opinion. Let’s say that someone would write about a sunflower. In one sense you could say that the sunflower is a Helianthus annuus is native to Americas and it possess a large flowering head. Making up the head is roughly 1000-2000 smaller flowers joined together on a base. Or there is the other approach and you could say that it would be a wonderful tattoo on my back, perfect for the summer time. The balance of this is seen in our everyday lives creating the world around us. For example a product designer, and the engineer who creates the object the design is placed on.

The two professions like most, required a lot of time practicing and learning the achievement of making it into a career. It could be a possibility that figuring out your possible career could be learned from self-study. I don’t want to get all hippy free spirited on you, but finding out what your soul desires and naturally does could be done in different ways for everyone. It’s these differences that make us who we are. I’m sure somewhere down the line someone said to you that life is just one big learning experience. Although being younger and not really having an extensive idea of the future, the thought was just stored for a few years to brew until it seems like all we do is think about the future.

Trying to get a perspective of the opposite brain can be an interesting experience. Living our lives and dealing with all sorts of different people and situations could almost be a summary of life. If you disagree with me I would like to have a chit chat with you and see if we can make an amendment between the two views.

p.s maybe not, but at least I pumped that thought in your mind.

Double Date

The night was going well, no rain, not too cold, just right. There were two young men and two young girls going on a double date. The atmosphere of the bar/restaurant was delightful. It wasn’t too busy but it wasn’t too dull either. The conversation between the four was going really smoothly but there was a moment that changed it all. After a few drinks the ladies looked at each other and with out any words both agreed that they had to go to the toilet.

The two young men were there and at first not saying anything and just looking around at all the other girls at the bar. Then the one guy looked at the other quickly nodded his chin and raised his eyebrows.

“So do you think were gonna get fucked tonight?”

“Dude you have no idea how badly I wanna get laid, going through such a long dry spell.”

“Yeah man my chick is so hot, she would be really nice to do from behind.”

“My chick is soooooo hot! I bet she is a real minx in bed.”

The conversation between the young lads continued on for the entire time the ladies were gone. Meanwhile in the toilet the ladies obviously had a different tone of conversation.

“The guy that I have as a date is totally disgusting, his sense of humour is just gross. Did you see the way his shirt wasn’t tucked in? A total slob.”

“Wow I don’t think you have to be so mean, at least you don’t have a dorky twat with a comb over.”

“Oh my God you have to be kidding he is so adorable and his little argyle sweater. I could just eat him up!”

“Oh God just spare me, why don’t you have him?"

“Wait wait wait, could we do that? Would we look slutty?”

“I don’t know and I don’t really care either, when we get back to the table we can just switch positions at the table.”

“Okay that sounds like a good plan, but we can’t be too upfront or else they will think that were psycho bitches.”

“Yeah okay how about you go first and then I will come in after then it will be a little more subtle.”

“uhhh um well okay I guess if that’s how we have to do let’s do it.”

So the first lady went out of the toilet and as gracefully as she could have walked and placed herself on the opposite chair. The second lady came in, there was the other empty chair and naturally she sat on it. Some strange facial expressions were exchanged with the two men and the one man thought this.

I wonder what is going on with these two ladies; they changed spots on us and pretended like nothing happened. Oh well as long as I get my dick wet.

Hard or Soft

When I wake up in the morning and think about what it is I should try and achieve today. The one thing that usually slips past me is writing. It’s either finishing off a new song, or recording the song. It could also be just doing the regular day stuff such as cleaning up my living space up. It’s interesting how sometimes our aspirations can be the one of the major procrastinations. Thinking/ dreaming about the future of doing some freelance writing cruising around in the morning checking voice mails and calling people to see if they feel like answering my large array of questions, and of course sucking back on a big cup of coffee makes me smile. How good could it get? How stressed am I going to get while chasing the impossible deadlines? Sometimes when I can’t type as fast as my mind can think it’s like having a fight in a dream and you get beat so bad by a girl or something because you cannot function enough to throw a punch. Similar to a lot of writers or writers to be out there sometimes we just talk about it more than we actually place our ass on the computer chair and produce something.

There is a lot of confusion in this day and age with our generation. It’s easy to notice that things are different in our era. Before you could bring a few dollars to ICBC pay them and take a test, later that day you would be happily driving with a new license; how sweet. Over the last few decades humans in North America have been either forced or just gained an unhealthy amount of love and reliance on paperwork and regulations. In an age where books aren’t read as much anymore but have been replaced with long winded politically correct mumbo jumbo. Alas I guess we have to evolve somehow. A world where everything revolves around paperwork even to work the basic labour jobs you have to fill out five sheets of safety awareness and orientations.

I can say that I take pride in just chasing the dream of one day becoming a writer for anybody that can put a bit of scrap on my table. This sort of things takes time and practice to actually get your feet off the ground. I have lots of time and when I can actually do the practice I enjoy the finished product. So what sort of things do you think about when you wake up in the morning? Is it anything close to this? But the bottom line is that you are thinking about something and whatever that is just keep on keeping on. Although thinking is nice, so is action. With the famous words that Elvis Presley sung “ a little less conversation and a little more action” although I can almost guarantee he didn’t write them, but he made it remembered.

Tails

It’s interesting how much plans can change. At first it seems like the plan is so solid, and everything should go accordingly. As we know life tends to be unpredictable and like sitting on a swing we go back and forth. The nice thing about a swing is that there are all kinds of ways to enjoy it but there is always somewhat of a direction. It’s our emphasis that points which way we go. The wet asphalt roads shine and glimmer, accompanied by swaying coniferous trees. Not being very excited about adventuring across Quadra Island in the rain I hide in the shelter of a café, where I freeload off the Internet; life.

Just letting my life cruise on autopilot, and if you were at all curious of what the set course is for a 20 year old; your guess is as good as mine. If you are reading this it is more than likely that you have been there once before, or are not too far off from being that age. We all know the mayhem that runs through our blood. With out any guilt I am proud to say that I am “naturally” young dumb and stupid, all at once. This spring seems to be a warm up for the summer to come. No strings attached, try making it to GO and collecting whatever scraps of money have been left behind. I will not be surprised if this summer will be filled with dinners consisting of beans and tomato sauce eaten cold “fresh” from the can. Like a restless dog chasing the tail and never understanding why I cannot take a big chomp on it, ignorance is bliss.

At times it seems like it would be so nice to be able to rewind and just do it all over again. Although this is impossible it is just a perspective of the moment. Why not just let the times go and try achieving the mission to live in the moment. Here is a little tip that I’ve come up with. The past is a good thing to talk about with long time friends and when that stage of intoxication sparks up the “I love you man,” conversations. The future is inevitable so whether we like it or not, it’s coming. So you might as well live in the now because it’s happening. I’ve said this to myself a lot and I try to keep it circulated in my brain. Keep life fresh and exciting. Don’t expect too much unless you have aspirations and maintain a willingness to roll with the unexpected. Now before I pollute your mind with too much feel good propaganda go out and play!
