Realization

In the past couple of months, I have truly been able to capture the vision of very ugly people. People that I actually thought were my friends in some kind of bizarre universe. The truth is, anybody that knows me, knows that I am just too nice. I let everyone walk all over me. In the end the only person that ends up getting hurt is me. The only one that gets put into any kind of financial jeopardy is me. Sure you might feel bad after something happens. Honestly though, what does feeling bad actually accomplish, if not you just forgetting 10 seconds later.

I refuse to be at the ass end of everything. From now on, I will look out for myself. I will become bitter. I will make sure that all of my expenses and endeavors, are covered and more.

Its a shame that people can take advantage of people, that are only trying to help you in the first place. In the end the only person affected is me. Not you. Go cry me a fucking river about how you feel so bad about certain things. I could care less.

This town breeds fuck asses. Its like they intentionally go out of their way, to make other people's lives, a living hell.

This is probably one of the main reasons I deleted my facebook last month. It all boiled up inside of me, to the point where I thought that if I recluse myself, again, people would actually give a shit. This formula is boof, because these fuck asses, never really, truly ever learn anything. They use up the resource as much as they can, and once the resource(me), is done dealing with it, or "tapped", they move on to some other brainless twitt, that can be so naive to think that there actually are other people out there, that give a shit about whats going on in other peoples lives.

I feel like I have wasted so much energy, time, money, and life, on people that wouldnt even blink if I died tomorrow. I constantly make others peoples ends meet, thinking that my time will eventually come around.

This year will mark my 25th year of life on this piece of shit planet. I hope that something indeed does wipe us all off the face of the earth, so I no longer have to deal with living among all of you disgusting creatures of hate, malice and revenge.

Blissful Ignorance

So I had the privilege of finally being in a courtroom last week. I say privilege, due to the fact that I only had to be there from 8:00 AM until 11:00AM. In the 3 hours I was there, I learned 3 things:


A: Even when faced with disciplinary action by the state of your current dwelling, people(Human beings) will continuously push the line of leniency as far as they possibly can.

2: The United states will pay for translators, essentially the tax payers $ being put to good use?, for people who live in this country, that do not understand English. Unfortunately, the only translator needed for about 5 cases was a bilingual Spanish speaking woman.

and finally: Respect for authorities in the south is not something that is at the top of the list for the residents, at least in the part of Florida where I live.


I was taken aback by the lack of consideration taken upon by people who essentially broke the law in some way shape or form. We were instructed to turn off our cellphones and/or pagers completely. Reminded that if during the hearings, if the judge heard any noise whatsoever that was from a device, that they would escort you out, and you would not be able to return.


At first I found it funny. Then as time drew on, I noticed how stupidly vapid people can be. needless to say, their were several outings of people due to their ridiculous ring tones on their cell phones.


Spanish was my first language. I can write it, speak it, understand it. I was born in Brooklyn, New York. So the fact that I am Bi-lingual, was a choice made by my parents, that I thank them wholeheartedly for, not something that was a necessity because I lived in a Spanish speaking country. Due to these reasons, I find it appalling that there are people of all kinds of Spanish decent, that have lived in the United States for years, some decades, that refuse to speak and understand English.


Why is it that we must spend money for ignorance?


If an American decided to move and live in France, would it not be acceptable, albeit, necessary to learn enough dialect of the French Language to survive in an area where the language is predominant? I find it repulsive and degrading to think that there are Spanish speaking people, walking around in the United States, portraying ignorance. What an easy way out for the lazy masses.


First the convicts were tried, then the ignorant Spaniards(LOL) were tried. It made me feel at ease that I was third or fourth to be tried as a first offender/first timer. The judge was very passive, and was actually more inclined to making sure I had every resource readily available to me. I was literally up in front of a jury for less than 45 seconds.


All I should have felt when leaving was relief, but all I could find myself really thinking about, was the fact that I got up ridiculously early, dressed formal, tie and all, and sat through three hours of bullshit, to eventually learn, that it is worth going out of your way to make sure that you do not end up having to waste your time, money and energy and making the state exhaust their resources to tell you something that you should already know.

I Am Content

My life seems like a speck of normalcy in a sea of chaos. It's crazy, I feel lucky and selfish at the same time. More and more, my schedule seems to flow in a concentrated, organized efficient way.


I own/co own and successfully run business's. Which is fucking crazy. I constantly have to remind myself, that even though I have help, and have had help with these endeavors, the 1st step was taken by me. I will always be proud of that.


I am in a successful, signed band. I love playing our music, I love watching my band mates/best friends grow and mature. I have seen 15 and 16 year olds, grow and create music that half the musicians in this piece of shit state probably couldn't play. We have toured the state and out of state numerous times, and we can never get enough of it.


I have an amazing girlfriend, family and some of the best friends anybody could ask for. I have met so many people, and have made long lasting friendships with the best of the best.


Nice guys do finish last, but in the end, its the nice guy who feels more accomplished and pleased with the work he has put into his harvest.
