I was taken aback by yesterday's blunderous display as President Obama and Justice Roberts administered the oath of office. My initial reaction was "Aww poor guy, biggest moment of his career, botched!" Then of course as I had more time to ponder this mishap and giggled at the sentiment that he could memorize a 20 minute speech yet over look the 20 second Presidential Oath (that he only needed to repeat). As the day progressed and more political pundants and analysts offered their take on the days activities, I was surprised to notice the silence surrounding the swearing in of our new President. Destitute of the juicy political retribution from the last 8 years watching clips of President Bush misspeak I waited patiently for the late night TV hosts to deliver my much anticipated dose of comic relief. Still, nothing. I mean given the media's intense obsession with making former President W. Bush look as stupid as possible for kicks and giggles I figure the same fair and equal treatment would be levied upon Obama... oh wait did I just say I assumed the media would be equal opportunists? Haha silly me, us Republicans never learn.
Is this seriously not worthy of 'The Daily Show'? Give me a break. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKsL-j7-9No

Lost Thoughts
It all starts so innocently then it hits you like a sneaky little booger. A feeling that paralyzes you to the core. A moment that leaves you afraid to move, to breathe, to blink because you might miss something. Oh, I wake up for those moments. It makes life valuable, vulnerable, absolutely wonderful. Everything looks better and feels better, it tastes better! If I could take you away I would show you what I mean, but I have a feeling you already know. Now when everybody thinks they know what's best for me, I turn to one place. I confide in you. All I ever wanted was a little peace of mind, best believe I have the time. I want to be in love forreal.

Epic Floundering
I believe this is unclear, let me inform you dear.
So you love me, head's in the sky?
Imagine my confusion to sense your fear.
Is it real or are you just too shy?
Last time I checked I'm still standing here.
Cowering against my last bit of free will.
Cutting ties and living lies,
all for the comfort of a moment you can later despise.
Am I really all you need?
Because for an instant you hesitated.
You think I will stand by and be desecrated?
Turns out my feelings are too strong to be ignored.
Like the tired rantings of the feeble minded.
I wonder if you hear anything I say.
I'm hardly around, figured you'd pay attention today.
Are the signs really that convoluted?
Even if they were diluted they'd stay polluted.
I'm grasping on so tight, while everything slips away.
You can take my heart but never my tongue.
Everything is wrong. Everything is right?
Will the turmoil put me to sleep tonight?
So look at me, still waiting around.
While this fortress I've built is falling down.
Look at me so patient, so preen.
The ambivalence makes me want to scream.
I don't want to hear you love me.
Not your silent darling,
Still waiting for a symptom.
I heard you clearly.
It permeates in my mind.
It's a cruel joke to think you can change time.
Where is this going?
Thought I knew once but I don't anymore.
I hope you find what you're looking for.

One Writer's Quarrel
You are what you eat.
You are what you speak.
You are who you surround yourself with.
You can be whatever you set your mind to (that is socially and regionally acceptable).
You are mediocre/above average.
You are special to a few people in this world.
You are funny (sometimes).
You are loved.
You are hated.
You are only as good as what you accomplish.
You will never amount to anything.
You will change the world.
You are an element of a society that will always view you as a cog.
You are unique.
You are the same as everyone else.
You are gullible.
What do you believe? How can you possibly think you are cosmically important when you are just a speck living in the middle of infinity? It doesn't hurt to be a little prideful and ignorant does it? I have found that in the long run good qualities can back fire and "bad" personality traits can led to a truly happy and prosperous life. There is an exception to the rule every time I try to flip flop opposite behaviors deemed morally or ethically good & bad. My mind is pounding right now. We've been around a couple thousand years or so. Over the course of documented history so much information has been presented that it's nearly impossible to process it all. I don't think anyone can truly have their mind made up ever. How can you break away from the myths, cut the BS and find a way to better understand yourself?
So be it that I've come to terms with the fact that I will never really understand why things are they way they are, but why can't I understand why I am the way I am? Note to self: Take things one step at a time. Don't jump the gun and get so lost in a mysterious world while living in a mysterious mind.
