It is 2:38pm
I have a deadline for an article at 4:15pm
I'm skipping a class so i can be able to make this deadline.
I really shouldn't be blogging.

There is a reason I am not a newspaper journalism major, and frankly, it is because i hate that boring newspaper shit. which is why im here blogging instead of meeting my 4:15 deadline.

I like words that paint pictures and break down barricades of imaginations.
I like when you read words are phrases over and over, and feel them more
and more
everytime.

I like words that make beauty, not words that report the mundane news that confirms that the world is really just as cruel as they say it is.

I dont want to write about statistics of poverty and death tolls in two thousand words.
I dont want to write about the failing economy and the depression of the people in times new roman 12 point font.
I dont want to write about that shit.
I want to write something deep from the depths of my mind, something too deep for a keyboard and too heavy for a sheet of paper...
but I cant do that, because, honestly...I want to write checks too.


The grim reality that is life.
so im back to meeting that 4:15 deadline

So you wanna write,

"something too deep for a keyboard and too heavy for a sheet of paper..."

but you,

"wanna write checks too."

Some people would say that's like trying to have your cake and eat it too.

The way I see it though, the motherfuckers eating their cake...

They're the ones that are really hungry.

I hope that helps lol.
