Establishing Residency

I remember when I took my first steps into Paris. It was a strange feeling, resisted at the beginning, but I became more used to the new smell, the new scenery. For the first couple days I would spend my mornings wandering around. Then I began to figure out what parts of Paris I liked. I would spend my mind there. I would let people drag me to their place, I liked it all fine, but I got used to the spots I liked the most. 

I remember moving in. The residents thought I was strange, foreign. And i'll admit it, I was both of those, but at least I tried to fit in. I'm still trying to fit in. My guide to Paris is going to be leaving me soon, but I see a bright future ahead of me in Paris.

What do you want?

I want happiness. There's a million different roads that end up there, but mine isn't laid out in front of me. It's either under construction or I'm just in the wrong place. I'm not giving up though, I'm just going to drive til I find it. I had to write an essay on a prompt that said the purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to have lived and lived well and to make a difference. I completely disagreed with it. I think happiness is the most important. I think that being useful, to have lived and lived well, and to make a difference can all be components for happiness, but it depends on the person. One person's happiness could be completely different from another persons'.

Don't squander opportunities. Don't be lazy. Don't be pessimistic. A wise yolo-er once told me, "The angel of death could come at anytime, you're never going to know when." Even though this came from some random kid it struck a chord in me because it's true. Every day things could make a whole world of difference. Do something that you might not normally do for a change. Be open-minded. Be ambitious. Be happy. Be an old guy who is proud of himself.

Be this guy

Poem Jealousy

I basically know nothing about famous poets or poetry in general. I usually like poetry it's just not what I usually choose to read. My favorite poem is The Road Not Taken By Robert Frost. My dad read me this poem when I was a kid and it has stuck with me ever since.   The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

This poem talks about how the popular decision isn't always the decision that is right for you. Sometimes you need to go against the grain and do what you want to do. One part I really like is the third stanza because it shows that either way the choice is going to have a big impact on your life because one decision leads to another.

Dialogue

Me talking to Macklemore, the tightest of all rappers.

Macklemore- "I've only got twenty dollars in my pocket"
Bob- "That's cool, Macklemore"
"$h!t, this is only 99 cents!"
"Wow I really hope you don't write a song about our trip to the D.I., that would be horrible."
"Bag it, coppin' it, washin' it, 'bout to go and get some compliments"
"What are you even saying?"
"I'ma take your grandpa's style, I'ma take your grandpa's style, no for real - ask your grandpa - can I have his hand-me-downs"
"Sure I don't care. Do you always talk like this?"
"I wear your granddads clothes, I look incredible."
"My granddad would never wear a coat that massive."

This is pretty much how Macklemore made the song Thrift Shop. It's wayyy genius and great.

How to pretty boy swag

1. Get a hat. Stores have them.
2. Smell good. Girls always love axe body spray.
3. Wear whatever you need to wear in order to look cool. Hollister and American Eagle are always the

. But if you want more of that toddler swag go with aeropostale.

4. Learn how to dance. Or learn how to look tight at dance parties without dancing

Here's one example.

Gotta practice your moves.

5. Wear ray bans. Wear ray bans with beanies or a hat to increase swagger

Oh yeah.

6. Now get out there and get chicks.

Rememberz

I remember when i got the training wheels off my bike. I remember having braces. I remember when halloweens seemed more halloweeny. I remember building forts. I remember when the killers and fall out boy were cool.

I remember getting ten teeth pulled cause mine wouldn't come out. I remember bionicles and sonic the hedgehog. I remember running home from friends houses because i didn't like being outside alone. I remember a lot of what I want to forget.

Ahh man, what a speedster

Imagine.

Take a second and imagine a beautiful, wonderful place where the grass is green, where stores and restaraunts are open on sundays. You might be thinking of everywhere on earth besides Utah County. If you want Utah County to be as beautiful as these other places, you'll be smart and vote for prop 6.

1 Word

Bound.

For a while there i thought i was stuck, bound. I couldn't tell what was holding me back, I didn't even want to admit i was being held back. Being stuck was fun, but it wasn't real. The escape was hard, but the in the end it was definitely worth it.

I thought i was some brilliant brain scientist, a genius, if you will. I was really just some sconer jr, trying to get some extra brownie pounnies.

It's nice being real again. Even if real doesn't make sense.

Wiz is so smart. He's like my role model.

truth

How cute is this?!^

Inspiring.

I was TOTALLY just thinking about this. Sometimes it's like tumblr just reads my mind.

My heart literally melted when i read this. SO original and perfect....

So me right now

Just a little something i drew. I LOVE art.
We all have these people in our lives, don't we?

Direct Order: Grand Slam

"Oh, alex? is that your name?"

"Yes, yes it is."

"Well you sir are about to receive some direct orders."

"That's my job, sir. Not anything unusual about that."

"Oh no no no. Alex....you're so naive."

"YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN A DIRECT ORDER TO......"

"Sir.... just tell me your order. I work at dennys, i serve people food. Can we just get this over with?"

You've been given a direct order to get me a grand slam. Get me a grand slam like this is the last grand slam you'll ever serve. Get me a grand slam like i was a celebrity. Get me a grand slam like i need to be home by curfew. Get me a grand slam like i like my grand slams.

"Sir, i understand you want a grand slam. I'm trying to be patient with you but why are you doing this? And how would you like your eggs? and bacon or sausage?"

Get me a grand slam with some eggs...... sunny side up. Get me a grand slam with two fu**** strips of bacon, and some sausage too. Get me a grand slam. In fact, get me some orange juice too. Get me a grand slam with an orange juice. That's how i like my grand slams. Get me a grand slam like i like my grand slams.

                  Epilogue:

Alex immediately quit his job at denny's (after he served the man his grand slam) to go and chase his dreams because he was so inspired by the strange man who wanted a grand slam. Alex went on to live a great life and do wonderful things that benefitted the world all because the words of "The grand slam man" prompted him to do so.

Inspired by the horrible waiter, alex, at at denny's and all of the over-enthusiastic people in the world.

 

Bricksntape

Bricksntape is a really useful, new creation that combines two of the world's greatest inventions all in one. Bricksntape is essentially a brick, (see example) with duct tape (see example) all over it.

Duct tape

Brick

This concept may be hard to grasp at first, but you'll probably get used to it if you have an I.Q. of more than 12. Bricksntape is going to send this world in a whole new direction. Houses will be going up about 300% faster because you don't need that shiz that holds the bricks together. The duct tape on the outside of the brick makes creating buildings a very quick process. 

Life and that other thing

Hey if you're reading this you're alive so you've made it this far. Congratulations! Try not to die in the middle of reading this because there are better ways to spend your final minutes. Wait no there's not. As far as I'm concerned, this is the greatest piece of writing that the world has ever seen. Why wouldn't it be? I don't know. Do you? Ok its not the greatest BUT you're still reading so i've done my job.

Life. Life is about being your best, being yourself, and writing the greatest piece of writing that has ever been writ by a writer. #Gotdatswag

If you're really concerned about being a good person who lives a great life, you don't need to worry about that other thing. Death? is that what it's called??  You're going to end up in the right place if you focus on living a good life and not worry so much about death because living a good life is going to make death a lot easier.

Bone Talk

My bones and I are starting to agree more and more. I used to worry when my mind would tell my bones what to do when they didn't agree.

Like that fake laugh you give sometimes to be nice. My bones know who's important to me and who's not, my bones know when to be genuine, my bones know when i shouldn't care. I just need to get my head on straight so my mind and bones can cooperate.

My bones know when i'm not acting right. My mind says "keep going, fake it." My bones don't put up with that. They've decided they want to use their time and energy on people who matter. My mind's still thinking about what these things are. I used to think i knew for sure, but finally that feeling in my bones made my head figure out none of it was real. It feels good. I think i have some pretty wise bones. Listen to your bones.

What I'm thinking about.

I'm thinking about you like olympians thinks about gold.
Like scientists think about answers and answers think about being found out.
I'm thinking about you like chefs think about a recipe.
Like Philosopers think about life. Like life thinks about death and death thinks about memories.

Other things are different.

I',m thinking about you like sumo wrestlers think about a diets.
Like Allen Iverson thinks about practice.
Like summer thinks about winter.
Like black thinks about white.
Like flowers think about weeds.
I'm thinking about you like the bobcats think about winning eight games.

Uncertainty

Is all i'm saying just a bunch of blah blah blah?

Are you gonna read my words?

Or are you gonna feel my words?

Am i making any impression?

I'm Bob Loblaw, but i don't say blah blah blah.                          

Read my words if you're kind.

Feel my words if you care.

Maybe i made an impression, maybe i'm just blind.
