...well...i don't like the way the country's ran, don't you know, and, erm...that's pretty much what i was expressing in my poem. the government...the american government - they're sneaky, they're very deceitful, they're liers, they're cheats, they're rip-offs. i mean, the american government is one systematic government that...that nobody can trust. i don't trust them myself. and how long have you been writing for? huh? how long have you been writing for? since i was four. d'you do this sort of thing a lot, like, open-mic kinda questions? oh i love open-mics, i love coming here to do open-mics, absolutely. what kind of reactions d'you usually get? usually, people are...are pretty much in agreement with what i'm saying. we overheard you before talking about...you went to court today for a speeding ticket...? that's accurate. right. d'you wanna tell us that story? yes, absolutely, i wouldn't mind telling you the story. erm...i went to court today for a speeding ticket, and i told the judge, erm..."let me tell you something, and you listen and you listen good, i'm only gonna say this one time and one time only, i don't repeat myself for nobody," i said. i says..."i'm here to pay a speeding ticket, not to listen to your lectures and hear you run your mouth for an hour." i says "i'm here to pay off my speeding ticket...and i'm here to get my fines out of the way and get the fuck to work." the judge says "you can't talk like that in my courtroom, you're in contempt of court." then i said...i told the judge, "if that's the best you can do, i feel sorry for you." i said "why don't you just shut your fucking mouth for once and listen." i said "i'm not gonna take any shit." i said "i'm gonna pay my speeding ticket like i said." i walked up to the god damn judge and i hand him my 25 dollars and i says "here's my money, now i am leaving." and i left it at that... ...then, before i left, i turned around and told the judge "i'm here to state who i am and be honest with you." i said "if they thought i was dangerous on the road like you're trying to accuse me of, wouldn't they have taken my license when i first got it? yes they would. and the judge says "yeah, you have a point," he goes "you don't need to get loud," i said "don't get loud?" i says "i've got every right to get loud." i says "you can't do a god damn thing about it, because i'm expressing myself in your court, and there is nothing you can do about it. you think you're god because you have a robe and you can put people up the god damn river for 20 years? well you're not." and i left it at that... did you walk away? yes i did...i don't like the judicial system, i don't like the government system, i don't like the police, i don't like anything to do with this country's government. i just don't like it, because...they're sneaky, like i said - they're deceitful, they're lying, they're cheats, the rip people off. that's the american government for you. america is a third world country, and people don't recognise it...and i think that that's pretty god damn sad, that they don't recognise their own country as a third world, third rate, third class slum. well...d'you have any weapons?

Lemon_Soda I think hope is a great thing. Often used to cover up the fact that something bad happened by hopeing it won't happen again. Hope shouldn't really be used, though, unless for the right reason. Specifically, to counteract despair. You can't live life with out any hopes, but you can live life without despair. Alot of people go the big picture route and say "well I'm going to die anyway so whats the point of any of it." The thought haunts me on occassion. But if we went that route comepletey we'd just kill ourselves. So what stops us? Fear. Fear of not knowing. The great philosophers say there is life after death or there is nothing. So in both cases, death doesn't really make a difference. I think its not knowing witch of the two it is that drives us nuts. I mean, if Im not going to be eternally rewarded for my behavior, or atleast get to float around and think about it, I'd sure like to know now. IF I'm dead and nomore, well, I'm nomore so i really can't be upset at the state of things, can I? Is hope a waste of time? All things are for naught? Or anytime the first shoe drops the second is right behind it? No. NOT a waste at all. Hope says to get out of bed in the morning. Hope says to eat my next meal. Hope says to make freinds, love family, and be content with myself. Hope gives me happy dreams to entertain me, and that alone makes them worthwhile. Its important to remember that whether we want to or not, we're going to hope for things for the rest of our lives. We have no choice. To be so beaten down by our take on life that we feel we have no hope is like admitting we're a broken horse. How can we feel this way without good things that have happened to compare it too? How can we say that good things happended before, but won't happen again? And another thing. Its not Expect the worst and plan for the best. Its plan for the worst and hope for the best. If you really hope for something but keep telling yourself its not going to happen, you might find yourself denying that it really did happen when it comes about. I've known alot of people whose life views amount to pretty much everything is crap, everybody is judging me, and something bad is gonna happen, I know it. Looking down like that is like looking at your feet while you walk through the park. YOu get stuck in your head, you forget the world around you, and your brains off with itelf on thoughts beased on thoughts based on thoughts based on thoughts and the trouble with that is without a does of the world around you to guide those thoughts along they will inevitably crash. Look up, look out. Breath the air, feel your body, see the flowers and the clouds. Be around people just to be around them, don't worry about whether their looking at you funny, or if you'll say something stupid. Its always a mistake to find despair because of something that happened, but its the biggest mistake to expect despair to come before anything has even happened yet. Sometimes life seems pretty shitty. Some horrible shit has shat allover your shite. Shoot. IT IS PROPER TO FEEL DISAPPOINTED ANGERY HURT OR SAD!!! These are natural emotions and are our way to cope with emotional wounds. We feel these things because it is right and proper that we should. But never, EVER make the decision that because you had to experience these things that all of the good emotions out there are never going to happen again, or that they are somehow responsible for the bad ones. The clouds part, the sun shines, and you will smile, and laugh, and sing, and love again. If your life is miserable than you've given up hope that it will ever be anything else. Without that hope, you've no motivation to change. With no motivation to change it, change will never happen and you will remain miserable. Hope is our chance to better everything we know about ourselves and the world around us. 050613 ... a chaotic gift to idealism i typed out my old writtings last night. hope, happened to be one of those. it's almost odd that, the writting on hope had been to the same person that it is ment to on this very day. it iS odd that, i feel the words that are above but, i do not hope, i trust. i feel today how i felt back then and i have woke to another day where my hopes are replaced with trust. the other day, i picked you up from what you seemed to be dying to escape. we drove for quite some time and we spoke. i told of my heart and of my love. you shared the same. i havent opened myself to such truths in many years and it wrenched me on to nausea. not because of disgust but, from an overwhelming joy of knowing there is still someone i can speak to. no judgements, no costs and no strings attached. you spoke of the same things to me. i believe you, the look in your eyes when they are brought to mine say your words for you. they speak loudly and quietly, they speak truthfully. i trust you will come back and we will do as we planned. 050613 ...
