The Alternatives

At the end of the day, we’re only human. No matter how much of an asshole we are sometimes. Humans – curious and funny little creatures that popped on the earth like popcorn in the right conditions and took over as number one species on this,  a small, tiny rock. Unlike others on this planet, we let our emotion get in the way of our actions. Well, more like affect the nature of our actions. And we can be quite nasty. Some more than others. Human emotion is very strong and can be tapped, seemingly easy. The spot I left my car in last night. Gone, this morning. Like when you get your car towed. For an idiotic reason and you’d be responsible for the cost, that you don’t have to pay, by the way, and you’d be screwed for the rest of the day. Then you march into the manager’s office and let her know you’re going to get a lawyer for not fucking telling you, and she bust out a page that basically says: Park in reverse, get towed, bitch. And at the left ha...

What a world, what a world.. Who else says that? Was it the wicked witch of the West? I’ve no idea, but she melted sooo.. This Friday is so important and hectic. Especially for me..with work – dispatching my life away…and dreaming, something we all do. We’re dreamers of big hopes, big accomplishments and dreamers of leaving a big impact on this tiny rock we call home. My husband is also a dreamer. Literally. He lives as a dreamer, day and night. He never stops dreaming. Dreaming that his country, America, will take care of him, just like we, as citizens, try to take care of her. Isn’t that crazy? Is that too much to ask for? A piece of paper and a shit ton of rich cats have the power to decide your fate. I’ve not lost hope. Never, because life does go on, and that should always be on your noggin. How are things on the other side of the world? I hear Russia is having a field day with those cold temps, FYI, TX is getting hit with Artic blasts, and they aren’t fun…at ...

Well, damn.  For a fact, I've never paid much attention to the political world and it's ins and outs, but this current administration really has opened my eyes.  Jesus, what a joke, really.  I can't imagine what the rest of the world sees us as now. Do you care? What embarrassment. Out of the intelligent people that exist, we got Trump as leader of the "Free World"...Well I'll be damned.  It's crazy for me to sit here and actually watch this crap come out of his mouth. And then the guy tweets. He fucking tweets like robin.  GAWDAMN! Lay off the twitter.  As President, you'd think he'd carry more class with himself and remind himself that he is in charge of 300 million or so Americans.  But he is a business man, and he is running this county like a company, and we're the employers.  Ugh.  Eek.  Anyways.. I've a poem for you all.  I'll have it set for you at the bottom. How crazy! And then the whol...

It is cold in here. Well, finally we approach a new year and in Texas, a new season...winter, which will last maybe up until March, but we are in Texas, so....sunny days?? How were your Holidays??? Ready to celebrate the new year? I am. I think we know that. You? This year will be to put our talking to the walking. School, job, attitude. All three that deserve, and are welcoming, the change you need. I know it can be scary to jump, but it will be the best thing you have done all year. You will land on a whole other cliff, which soon, you will have to leap from all over again. This life is about discovery and excitement. We can no longer find it when we stay in the same spot and realized we've visited the same corner countless times. I have been stuck in the same spot, and have been so damn scared to leave, to jump. But it is human nature to keep going, to keep your dreams alive. We can't be part of the world that lets dreams die, if we do, we let ourselves down, no...

You guys, it has been a long ass time!!! Writing on a slow ass tablet....Thanks Verizon! Anyways, how are we doing, lovers?! How are the poems?! Speaking of, I passed my classes!!!! Journalism, watch out!!! Yaaaaasss, bitch!!! Wassup?!? Feels good to know that life moves forward and only on. I just asked for a raise and those sons of bitches let me down. So, I get to look for a new job...any suggestions? Or openings??? Weird, but I know I'm fine, and I'll find something even better!! Because we have to keep a good attitude. What a world! What a world..... I LITERALLY have been wanting to have a change, honestly, I have been dreaming and waiting for this moment for such a long time, and it is here. Time to move on to a new job, new life as A MARRIED WOMAN, and look forward to all the new and exciting changes. Remember, the only constant in your life should be change...if not, are you really living?? Merry Christmas, YA FILTHY ANIMAL!!!! MUAH, Barbie Lissette

The window was wiped clean this time, not even the stroke of the damp cloth that had skimmed its surface was visible. The light shone in through it without any bents or distortion. Just straight in like it always does. Beyond the window, the grass danced along to the rhythm of the wind. The dew on the grass made it seemed as if they naturally produced glitter, and the lake that ran alongside it, ebbed flawlessly. The fish jumped in and out of the water as if they danced along with the grass. In the distance, an owl, or maybe just a white bird, stares in through the window, I can’t really tell. As I sat down at my desk, I could feel my heart growing louder, even though, it barely moved. My thoughts were racing in my head, I could hardly contain myself. I sit here for what seems ever, yet, it ends before the fish can jump back out to dance. It all happens so quick, that I forget that it’s happened before: I walk in, take the pills, and sit down as I look out the window, the ...

You made me feel so alone. So, why did you stay? Because I loved you. How could you? After all I did to you? I never saw it as what you did to me, it was all you did for me. You knew my troubles and you set me free of them. But I lead you to damnation. I’d follow you to hell, if that’s where you’ve been headed. It’s been a long time coming. It has, my love. He shoots her once in the chest, and then turns it on himself.
