Loose leaf white paper, black ink written, April 2009, after I sold my car to fly down to www.sosoutreach.org HQ in Vail, CO.. stayed with Arn Menconi, Executive Director and worked in the office doing rough video production the fruits of which can be viewed HERE Enjoy...
I made it to the Denver Greyhound station, the bus was late my bank account is drained, my phone dead but my spirit invigorated because although I'll have no money I'll be in Vail, CO tonight. The snowboarding at the resort would be great and Arn says that he's really looking forward to it but you shouldn't have to pay money to enjoy a good dump. I already know he's going to be a little annoyed as would I but whatever, I'm here to be a student of the game. Faith in humanity and a strong work ethic can always stand in the place of monetary means.
I'm nowhere near finishing my book but I will. Colorado Springs will be the next destination I've decided. Maybe Cam will know some people I can crash with? Or couchsurfing.com who knows. Not worried. I'm almost at the beginning. I ended my last trip with a late flight out of Las Vegas "No smoking no matter how much you paid for it." This trip begins where I left off.
I'm a poet, a pauper, and a prince riding around town on a bus filled of snuffed bliss that doesn't make sense but damn does it rhyme. I trace steps and travel through time in mind lost but continually on my way I know the next step so in the present I stay.
Its that you figure out where you'd like to be and immediately get off your ass you think too much do too little and always attend class. If that works for you then so be it, call me crazy there's a world n I've got to see it. So what I can't twist my tongue to contort my point effectively articulate my stance and blow this joint. I write, I spit, I cry, I shit Jesus did too and so do you don't lie. We attempt to hide the things that make us human and exemplify the behaviors that find us foolish. If I had spent the time I'd invested into getting that man a beer from the overcrowded bar into stepping outside and talking about why he got barred he probably would have walked away without police escort and face drenching tears amidst the sobs and cries that he is a Christian. "You see this, this dove means I'm a Christian." 4 years ago after being tazed and having my head smashed into a wall for noncompliance w/an officer.
Arn is able to produce a service (for the betterment of humanity) through generous contributions and donations. Where does the money go? How much does it take to start? The mountains donate lift tickets people donate gear it seems as thought the networking (like anything) is the most important. Getting people who share similar values on your team willing to sacrifice their profit in $ for profit in humanity. If The Whole Town of Soap ~ VIDEO ~ supplies even the Monroe State Prison with soap (right down the street, making shipping obsolete) we could potentially compete and grow to be the "King of Soap" providing Hope through Soap. The revenue generated from taxpayer money is then placed back into the community to battle the social ills at hand that contribute to the general population of incarcerated individuals. IE Jail Alternative programs that promote healing and betterment of the individual rather than detainment and propogating of the "revolving door system." So the fuck what if it doesn't work, at least we tried. Satisfy the need, utilize the profit. It doesn't need to be fancy to be effective.
Landing in Denver I have to pee. The Denver airport runway is covered in snow :)
Lee Kwan Yew assumed power in 1965 when Singapore was on the verge of a civil war and the economy was in typical post colonial shambles... "Lee represents the classic corporate turnaround chief executive, the take charge guy who knows what needs to be done and has the intestinal fortitude to see that his vision is carried out."
She "freaked out" last night. And insisted on falling asleep alone luckily we woke together. We had sex, dammit, now tings are fucked because we fucked. For no reason too. She was going along with me and I her, sacrificing our bodies, values and self respect to avoid embarrassment? I don't know but its a little screwy that we did that last night and I peace out today. I think it cracked her heart even through the impenetrable walls she's erected around it. They think Adam is gay, the conversation made it sound like only fags don't have sex with women they find attractive. Kind of felt pressured to fit the mold, again where the fuck is my discipline? My integrity? My Compassion? My Courage? My Wisdom? All of which are violently thrown out the window when a twerk of hips occurs during an innocent cuddling and watch a movie night. Now she's alone. When she first met me, she thought I was full of myself. What the fuck?! I told her that I really don't think that much of myself as I pushed a shopping cart back to safeway from the surrounding neighborhood. "Some say when it rains it pours hollywood aint no place for lovers anymore and it aint no place for us." Fuck.
Her middle name is Korean for "pure-forest" and her mom says it suits her well. Turbulence, true.
light it up light it up like its 1985 & we high as fuck
*HAHA just noticed that there's page numbers at the tops of these and so far I've typed page 1 then page 8, 7, 5, and now 4 lol told you*
acting like I wasn't doing anything or hiding crouched (but still cruising) behind the line of cars as police drove up the East-Bound lanes, and a conversation with a young State-Trooper (26 max) at the end of the road closure who felt it necessary to tell me what I was doing but couldn't tell me what law I was breaking. He said he was trying to look it up as I came barrelling straight for his stater-car at a whopping 7mph ha. Nice guy though we spoke for about a half an hour about this and that, I think his name was Bryan, and he gave me a "Junior Trooper" sticker upon my request. Ryan finally rolled up, I got in his car and we were off again. He was asking questions about the Baha'i Faith and Tesla. Both things I should know more about. We're in the midst of take-off and I have almost an entire book to read before hooking up with Arn in Vail. Goodbye and Blue skies.
One of the commonalities of successful Rushmorean leaders and their organizations is that the changes become ongoing "Because the environment doesn't stand still and the needs of stakeholders aren't static. The idea is to institutionalize a process of continuous change."
... me here in seat 29F with loosely-laced snowboarding boots, a simple suggestion from someone I trust and respect, I said hell yea. Geared up and started down the left left two lanes of highway 2. The grade wasn't steep enough to do anything but bomb it, slowly, but the people waiting in their cars seemed to love it. With my hands behind my back back (stylized by old European men) and helmet down I "flew" by a constant stream of frustrated drivers attempting to make the best of their delay with songs, silence, laughs, conversations, and of course parked cars amidst snowball wars. Some people cheered, some wooed, one said I was an idiot lots of "see you in Seattles" from my lips as if I could continue on forever. I gave up my seat so I'm sitting in the middle one 29F is the window but its much more entertaining this way cause now in order to watch the the wing flop around and bring us to the skies I get to see a grandpa vigorously picking his nose. And of course the moment I write it he stops. That final ride from Steven's consisted of following tire tracks, dodging bare patches.
*doodles and scratch writing* =
Zulu doesnt get what all the hype is about.
You learn to cope with getting laid off, time is so much more than money. I know its not a consistent stream but it is a little ironic that the week I get laid off sell my car is the week I snowboard in Vail and will have more money in my bank account than I ever have before.
If you come off full of yourself its viewed as a bad thing. Love is not a conceited obsession but a valued respect.
*Page 3*
Its puking snow in Colorado. I'm wearing my snowboarding boots on the plane to avoid the $25 fee to check a second bag. I might not make it to Vail because of the snowstorm, but I don't have the money to buy a lift ticket anyways and would rather not have that embarrassing moment. I'm praying that I can find some snow to ride and possibly hitch out to Vail on Monday or something when the funds are put back into my account. I can hang by myself for a day especially f I'm "stuck" in snow. I like having all my gear on hand. With my board shorts and books, I'm ready for anything, anywhere. The last time I hit a delay from snow was coming back from Stevens with Ryan for a celebratory goodbye ride before he left for Panama. The DOT was doing avalanche control and had just closed east-bound hwy 2. Westbound was a dead stop. We had gotten to ride the deep pow on the backside all day for free by asking the big chief guy if he'd let us on for one lift. Then hitting <><> Chair and up and over to the pristine acreage of Southern Cross. I'd never ridden that hard or that long but 4pm rolled around and the backside was closed so it was time to go home. Sitting in the stopped car of cars Ryan said something about riding down the other side of the road. Just like what brought...

If I were you and you were me would you see me as I do you or would I cease to be? If clouds are grey and none are blue than the ocean is another sky and whales clouds? True?
I'll take one order of chaos please, with room.
the water was so clear you could see the hypothermia
if the sun sets in the west and rises in the east where does it start and where does it sleep?
*page 1* ... I know right!?
"Blood is thicker than water"
"thats because you have a well"
the well pours out of the tap and still I'm not Melvin.
You have decide what niche you want. These are strictly for tourists and they satisfy the "gift" demand if you want to be in the upper echelon, triple distilled, quality product. The bars are aged 3-5 months and flake not dissolve. Marseilles is the region in France. Its a law in the town of Marseilles that a bar of soap must have no additives. Lye, Water, and Oil. There are wars being fought in Indonesia for palm oil because it is a commodity. Spacecraft is doing things in Indonesia Bali was Carl's first trip. I think I'll roll. Im a writer not a fighter. Maryanne has had my Utah shirt for way too long and is down to go to Bali, even has a place to crash.
If God is my Shepherd and I shall not want then His will is my desire and what you give is what you get.
