Let's get down to business

I don't got no time to play around what is this?
Must be a circus in town, let's shut the shit down
On these clowns, can I get a witness?


Lack of focus.

I have this problem.

The desire to write things and use words effectively and entertain people. I have no idea why I have this desire at all, but its there. Not because I've never done it, there are millions of things I've never done that don't strive to be the Chuck Norris1 at. This is not one of them.

In fact, one of many careers I've wanted to pursue was that of the novelist.

I don't know why I've failed to realize that if I don't have the dedication to spend three hours on one book (much less keep coming back to continue for multiple days) I may not have the dedication required to spend three(frikkin)years writing one.


I have, written on the wall next to my bed, a short list of goals I wished to accomplish this summer. I haven't begun any of them.1


I desperately need to write a resume so I can get called back when I put in Job applications.


I've neglected drawing. I must return to it.


The Fall has always sort of symbolized, to me, one of my absolute favorite concepts, the cleaning of slates and starting fresh with nothing attached.3 This is what I want to do. This is the perfect time to accomplish goals. Two weeks from now.4

I need to get 12 straight hours of sleep, shave my head, clean my room, buy some school/art supplies and get started. It's time to become a newborn child that's never seen anything before, greeting the world with nothing but the purest curiosity and amazement. I think that's what this year is for, come to think of it.

2008 was like a culmination of everything I've learned previously and practical application of long-held theories, a conclusion of sorts, and 2009 has been the stripping down of old stuff. With all the people and things being lost/dying like leaves from a tree. As if God is using metaphors.

I'm going to make it my goal to write something every week
and because in order to write well, one must read, I will read at least one book a month (or at least start one per month)
I will learn how to juggle
I will learn to do a hand stand
I will learn magic tricks
And sculpting

I'll resume drawing,
Return to painting,
get a job,
replace my broken crap,
and learn some politics.5

After 21 experience points, it's time to graduate to a level 2 Marlon.
let's do some crapp!


-Hell Yeah!

I'm 99.6% sure my mom has ADD I hear that stuff is genetic.

1.I don't actually like Chuck Norris.
2.My mind has a habit of jumping from subject to disjointed subject, I'm just hoping they'll all connect at the end.
3.I don't even know how to describe how beautiful I think a blank sheet of paper or the smell of brand new, freshly sharpened pencil is.
4.Also, my absolute favorite time is "later".
5. Without becoming a cynical bastard.


...also I need to attract some readers. That'll be some motivation...
