Santa who?

Ok...so this one really rattled my cage...

My three year old son and I was having a discussion about Christmas..of course he wanted the Ninja turtles toys...Kung Fu Panda etc...  so by then I was thinking of what extra job I was going to do to float the extra  cash to make his Christmas merry.

He then turned to me and asked if Santa was going to get him the presents?

I was like ...huh? Santa who? I said to him...no son...DADDY is gonna get you the present,,,not Santa.

I absolutely was not going to have that kid believe that Santa bought him the toys when it was I who did it...no way..

Not going to have him believe that a fat old white guy in a red suit bought him all that stuff when it was my hard earned cash.

I love Santa..grew up on the myth...absorbed the lie as a kid...and outgrew it.

But as a Dad...my kids have to know it was me...sorry Santa

When Lions Roar

You can tell a captured lion from one that was born in captivity.

A lion in captivity has no idea what freedom is about...does not know the wide open ranges or the real wild life.

A captured lion on the other hand know what it feels like to be free...to hunt and to be a lion...you can see it in their eyes,,,the longing to be free.

Sometimes relationships are like that. A domesticated guy who was raised in a nice stable environment,,,never had a wild side is ok with what his life is.

But the wild ones who have been smitten or bitten by love, wakes up after the tranquilizer dart has worn off and is like.."what the....".

For all the guys who used to drink, smoke a lot, party when you wanted...kept your crib messy if you wanted...spent hours washing your car...walk around your house in your drawers if you wanted....Since you have been domesticated..isn't it true that life ain't much fun still you stopped all that?

The wild sex...manajatwas.. (menage a trois by the way is the correct spelling)...oooh the good life.

And that is why when you hear these caged lions roar...its because we miss the life.

The system

You know what rattles my cage? The system.

What system I am referring to? The one society builds around us like a cage.

There are no real jobs around anymore in any large volumes...yet the system says that you have to take out a loan...go to school...and then pay back the system with the job that you have acquired.

Here is the problem...the system says you need experience and to start at the bottom of the pile...in the meantime, your bills stock up and you get yourself in a hole deeper than you can imagine...

So what do you do? find a way around the system to survive...you do that...then you're breaking the law...so you always feel trapped and in a survival mode....that sucks..

So here is my solution...screw the system..for the time being however, because there are some good intents in the overall structure of the system...but still..screw the system.

Here is what you do...get creative...find something that you are really good at and like...then just go for it...yea...try something...anything...because if you allow the system to keep you submerged...eventually its going to either cripple you or kill you.

Now is the time for minds to get creative,,,find a new way to do old things...find a niche...

Me...I write...and will keep on writing until I find that honey hole...the sweet spot that will put me where I want to be.

Everyday we get a chance to put our signatures on the pages of history.

One day I will sign that page..will you? sure you will

Poetry time..."Sometimes I taste the memories"

I sat in the lighted room of the future and bask in the electrified air of my destiny.

A destiny so bright and sweet tasting that I forget the darkened corridors which lead to my memories.

I try to forget, but remember that some memories are are unforgettable- even though they were

regrettable - and perhaps inevitable...

But even though I try to scourge my mind, purge the corridors of the tantalizing aroma of those

memories....they come wafting through the air, pulling me into the brewery of my mind which stores

and ages those intoxicating memories... stored in vats and kegs which have no labels...just the aroma.

Sometimes I take a mugful to my lighted room and sip the contents -

Yes, sometimes I taste the memories....and I feel it rushing through my veins - in my blood - to my

brain, causing me to act insane, say words of vain, which causes pain.

 So if my room is to have its splendor - I must seal those corridors and chart a new path - so sweet

and tantalizing to my new brewery, where I can sit and laugh with my true love, my darling, my

wife...and she will understand when I walk down that new corridor we both built - why I go inside to

taste the memories
