Out with the .5 and in with the 1.0

I want to talk about halves and wholes today. You see there is this old adage that one wanders through life looking for their "other half" to spend the rest of their years with in wedded bliss. I'm here to tell you, it's a crock of shit…

It's kind of miss leading, specially in the day and age where over 6,671,838,962 people are looking for their "other half" makes the likeliness of it ever truly happening about as probable as a meteor falling out of the sky and killing you. I'm not saying you won't find someone, hell just do to the fact that the divorce rate in the US is about 40%? People seem to find A LOT of potential halves over and over again...

I'm here today to tell you forget about trying to find your other half. I mean how silly is it to go around being half a person? So here's the deal in stead of wasting all that time running your self in a circle.

(Hahahahahaha one leg... meaning you can only spin round in a circle….? Fogetabouit)

In stead of wondering aimlessly down the multi pick your own path of heart ache and financial fuckatude, why not do something a little more productive? Why not look for yourself? Study a new language, work towards discovering a new talent you never new you had, and learn all the wonderful and fulfilling things about yourself and your spirit you never thought possible. Then when you've stopped wasting so much energy on looking for that "other half" you will find that you brought back all that energy to where it really belongs... YOU!

See once you've gone round yourself a few times you might come to realize you can be a whole person on your own, and find that other leg for yours. An after you build yourself up, you don't miss that longing to be whole, because it's already been fulfilled, by you. By giving yourself, well, you, you're happy and your confidant and you're strong and you can stand on two legs, instead of spinning round like an idiot top. You don't have to be that stupid one legged person any more, always falling over like a twit trying to get around, hopping there like a complete gimp, going "if only I had my other half to have a second leg to stand on!" NO, you twat! Give yourself your own two legs, and live your life in the fullest the only you can.

Once you start living your whole life you don't look for this "other half" any more. You're so busy just being you, infact you are so busy being you, you never realize that the friend sitting across from you , that guy you bumped into at the book store, or that chick that smiled at you at the party is it… Not till you blink just right and that fated moment sweeps in and two whole lives get mixed together to make something greater than any two halves could ever find. See when you stop looking, "It" finds you, and you get so much more than just a whole, you get greatness, you get something real that can stand the test of time and hardship, and most of all, you get something you can give your EVERYTHING thing to, because only a whole person can give everything. Kind of cool, hu?

I'm starting something new...

I've been all over the place the past few days and every friend that I have talked to has said the same thing, "You need to write." They're right. I have the curse, the need to create visions with my words and connect with any one willing to take time and read them. So here's the deal this Blog was created a while back to collect the artistic style of my writing and I think I'm ready to make it open to the people.

I'm going to start pulling out some of my old writing and throw them up here as well, my art my photos all of it. So let me start by linking you to my Bionic eye and leaving you with a few of my old school poems that are just tongue and cheek and see where that leads us shall we?

Bionic eye

Simon's Pretty Pretty

A lovely She
Sweet angel face
Chocolate aphrodisiac
just want a tiny taste
Luscious dessert tray
pass her round this way
I'll take a little of this, a nibble on that
thick and rich, watch her twitch

A lovely She
Love to taste that peppermint stick
watch it wag behind those cherry lips
I wanna cheat, I wanna lie
don't worry baby I'll lick the tears away when you cry
Steal her away, my sweet tooth set on over drive
She is the sugar buzz
giving me the sweetest thrill
Dear berry tart be my love
all night long till the dawn
or till I'm done
Sticky fingers and whipped cream dreams
lick it clean Cumming to the end
Desert tray pass her round this way
A lovely, She


Welcome Home Nightmares

I listening now as my stereo plays
Melancholy bliss...
The bliss that I see in the distance
of the distant open window, I can hear it,
the heart beat of the city as traffic
rushes though it's arteries and veins
There is a fair round the corner,
and from the birds eye view atop my roof
I can see the lights of the ferris wheel
an amidst all this, all this fucking maddening bliss
all I can think of is your face
Yes your face because I miss thee
Of course, why else you fool
this fool falling in love with the world again
Memories of and us and we everything that was
Trying to claw my way through the present to the past,
becoming mad, madly
I miss you madly my sister, sister insanity, it never stops
I beg you please stop
stop for and instant to take in the delights
All sights all sounds, because it will never happen again
So lick it up today and never tomorrow,
it’s just to fucking faraway
Stop and smell the flowers, but don’t eat them
they are poisonous, which would mean the hellish end
No not the end, not right now, goodbye tend to fallow
Goodbye’s never say them, it means never again,
and there is always the possibility of again
So never goodbye but till the next time
Till then my brother, my sister, daughter, son, mother, father, lover
I lust thee all
Never want to go, the stillness is to sacred
as the veins keep pumping and the ferris wheel keeps turning
From this birds eye view enjoy it while you can
Take time, don’t waste it and smell the flowers
but don’t eat them, they’re poisonous
