I'll fight and fight and fight for my health
then I'll fight and fight and fight for fun
an equal and opposite, in a sweaty room of mid-life crisis riders
saving themselves simultaneously, the environment
they needed to revise their mission
since their didn't get rich,
their tattoos have faded
and LSD is no longer socially acceptable.
We move through and through phases
phases within the prescribed life cycles
I can at once be a successful adolescent, an inexperienced adult, a beer soaked college student, and an academic hard working focused face, clearing skin, back-packed back, a potential date walking on the campus we heard would change our lives.
we are not one thing nor the other and everyday we are something new.
this might be the best lesson that hides like the best hideandgoseek spot that makes you so nervous you want to pee before your best friend finds youit's hidden and it doesn't matter who you are today and aren't tomorrow
thats the fun so forget the shame in nudity.
we don't know
we never will
so paint the town
your eyelashes
and your lover's cheek
AFTER ALL
Life is probably measured in how much trouble you can get yourself into
fucks, fights, dances, and dreams
laughing in dreams
swinging arms overhead
playing the game
saying FUCK YOU to that game
and moving on
what's important is that you're moving
moving, creating
the two best verbs
MOVING CREATING
that's all you need
WORKING SUMMER PLANS 2010
INternship of ftw
application date, recommendation letters and transcripts,
NOPE
· Hold a Mohawk Stand-“Lemonade Style” 50cent mohawks, maybe less. Real Mohawks, no faux hawks. Make it a hot summer day, in various locations, depending on the demographic you would like to enlighten with a higher percentage of Mohawks. Which, in turn, means more fun. Charge 25 cents less to take pictures of the ridiculous hairstyles that occur between the mullet and the hawk. Free for girls.
· Paint a longboard/ skateboard- Find a crazy design. Tag it you gangster. Draw it with your left hand maybe. It doesn’t matter what it is, and if you cant think of anything else, just write FTW, or draw a sea-creature, those are always cool. Whatever you do, don’t draw a peace sign, please. If you don’t skateboard or longboard you can customize a friends, or sell it to someone looking for a wild ride.
· Artify your bike- First, clean it, paint it, decorate it. Make it yours, baby. Then ride it with pride. Just ride it. In your swimsuit, hair flowin, with cute friends, late at night (don’t forget lights!) Get a basket for your bike- by day this is the best stereo holder, by night, a perfect beer cozy. The best days have both.
· Roast Coffee- What a perfect summer project. Or winter project for that matter. Allow yourself time to perfect the art of the best legal substance. Imagine your perfect cup of coffee, from the plant in some third world country, to the sissy blended mocha you love. Get creative, try new ways. Give it to your mom because you love her and want her to be happy.
· DIY tattoo- I don’t feel bad suggesting this because if we don’t continue to push back the bars of the law, then we will be even further fucked by a consumerist society. One where we have to pay at least a hundred dollars to get a timeless piece of art on our arm. Where will satisfaction live if not doing it yourself? In drugs. So, to avoid drugs, DIY. Never mix them, either. Buy a machine, make a machine. You don’t ever have to tattoo people, either. Spend a year figuring it out, and then practice on grapefruits to give away as weird presents to your friends. Tattoo pin-up girls onto melons. How weird, how glorious.
· Go thrifting- There is SUCH cool shit in thrift stores that most people will never even know about. It’s cheap, and malleable, entertaining at least. If you buy something and end up not using it/ wearing it, then pass it on to the next person in search of a weird find. Start a collection of weird t-shirts, or make new t-shirts out of old t-shirts. Sell them. Wear them. I’ll never buy a new purse, wallet, or belt; there are such cool ones at thriftstores. If you have a true sense of style, you will not be bored in a thrift store. The people with real style are the ones who can put together an outfit out of anything. Some people think style is buying the latest fad but the reality is that the latest fad is that has already been done. Thus, in order to be a true classy bitch, you make it yourself.
· Make Mix-Cd’s (formerly mix-tapes)- Put together the ultimate mix with one friend in mind. Songs that would make this person take their clothes off in public...or want to at least. Burn the blank cd, and then customize it. Try different mediums like paint, sharpie, stickers. Take time to make a cover for it. Make a case, an insert, and make it custom! What a fucking awesome gift for anyone. Even your grandma, who is probably really sick of listening to The Worst of the ‘80’s in her car on the way to the Pharmacy.
· Ask someone on a date- What ever happened to good old fashioned admiration and pursuit? As far as I can remember, asking someone to share a cup of coffee, or go on a walk didn’t mean you were walking into a contract. It might be awkward, in fact, it probably will be. Bask in that akwardness.
