In a different life, I'd be a warrior for Lupe

This is for me
And this is for everyone else
Please listen to this song closely
Very closely
'Cause music needs real folks for a change
Sure, the video is raw an unattractive
That’s the point
Let the words speak for themselves
Maybe you’ll find out something about music
where it needs to go, what it needs to do
Maybe you’ll find out something about yourself
But, who knows. I’m just a snot-nosed kid
Trying to find the real.
Maybe one day, right?

Coffee, Sugar & half and half

Just when you thought,
scratch that, just when I thought
I would never find time to post on this darn thing
again till Winter Break, here I am.
Willing and able, however I apologize for my lack of coherent thinking.

Why?

Simple answer.
The Adcenter is just
that demanding, that challenging, that difficult.
Sleep misses me, as I miss it. My relationship
with my dearest Sarah is heavily invested
in the telecommunications industry. And, if wisdom
is measured in number of wrinkles on the brain, let me inform you
that the process to developing those is a mentally tiring one.
Funny that I’m not even getting any wiser.
But, that is a different story in and of itself.

Well, it might be time answer a question that I’m sure I’ll hear from more than just my parents. “Did I make the right choice?”

Don’t let my late night rants, my lack of
being a good enough friend to call you all back,
my 20 hour work days seven days a week, my new
found appreciation for my gray hair, my now
apparent addiction to my coffee lifeblood, my disconnect
from the current events, my being dehydrated and still
living to tell about it,
my lack of time to grocery shop nor exercise,

my intense familiarity of what
both sunrises and sunsets look like, my daydreams
of being in my girl’s arms fool you.
No, not at all.

I made the right choice.
Just waiting for the rest of life to catch up is all.
