SELF - PROMOTION

Post by creativesoul » February 19th, 2014, 11:41 pm

TODAY=
i had an appt
to digitally photgraph my work
truthfully
i didnt know i had so much
in these hands

after a sword fight with the student loan guy
turns out he likes stand up comedy as well
we became frenz'
and i crawled out of default again
75000
yep
it snowed
hailed
rained
it seemed like everything
tried to make it not happen

after it was over
i could have walked on water
self supporting thru my own contributions
you were not going to have it any other way
it has to come from my soul these payents
paint my way to a debt free life
credit .com is a fucking night mare

i talk to blue collar workers about increasing the national debt
because i want to paint some more on goverment money
be a artist slacker bitch
i liked that- but it is time for plan b
to pay for the slacker artist bitches
classes she already had
those artistic students that looked st me like a freak
the teacher that told me
you do not see shadows
i do not
i see a whole bunch of other shit
that almost got me dead
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

I am crazy, I just don't get the debt thing. I will never be out of debt, I try to pay as I go.
As for government debt, I get that even less.

I hear perfectly sane people tell me that President Obama has destroyed our precious bodily fluids by spending so much money on niggers and spics and lazy worthless white people who have gone bankrupt from trying to pay for medical catastrophes that befell them, lost thier jobs to the free market of corporate democracy or to banks that robbed them.


Government Debt

I look at my social security retirement check as a grant from FDR to pursue my happiness
And LBJ killed millions of people in Vietnam but his Medicare keeps me alive
George W. Bush trying to bankrupt medicare gave me free Rx
I refuse to join the AARP because it seems like a fuck you young people we got ours, I look at an America that devours so many of its poor children and I want to blame someone. But it seems like a tragedy without villians to me.
Except for myself who does not do enough to survive the forlorn rags of old age and Ill health with his indulgent suicidal life style choices
I try to put my shoulder to the wheel my patriotic duty I write for the lady in the harbor who beckoned the refuse of teeming shores to her door, America is my woman

I sometimes have delusions about doing this for money, actually support myself from writing. Tell the truth it is kind of a nightmare of a vanity for me. This has more to do with setting myself free than making money.
About being a healthy old fart

I am glad, I am happy you write. And happy you can afford to do it.

Read a good poem today that I liked and may or may not be germane to your post :?
Fears and Doubts
by Eric Fried
(from "100 Poems Without a Country")

Have no doubts
about the one
who tells you
he is afraid

but be afraid
of the one
who tells you
he has no doubts
Writing is like behaviour modification therapy for me I pretend my computer is a Skinner Box™
and I have a deal with Quaker Oats™ that I get two banana flavored pellets delivered through a slot in my computer every time someone likes me on facebook™

please pardon my shameless self promotion

reason is over rated, as is logic ...
as is debt. . . .
Tell me about debt
Tell me about
Argentina and the Vulture funds
World War One and the British debt
Debt is not written in red ink
it is blood

I used to spend sleepless nights
worrying about my debt
but now I don't mind it so much
how that I have lost my mind
could you loan me twenty bucks :P
If you can't give me love and peace, Then give me bitter fame. — Akhmatova.

I see - - seven dwarfs - singing I owe I owe it is off to work I go-and- I-think maybe - honor ability may be connected to debt- I am indebted to you- etc - it may not be about- debt- lessons learned-0r not!
