Food for thought...




Food for thought...

Opener:
                 Is it just me? Or do people often express inner emotions through the things they say? Listening closely, I have discovered this is true.
Body 1:
                 There are in many ways, a person can say double meaning while talking. There are also many reasons, why they say those..."choice words", if you will. --- They are said for good reason, there is no doubt about it folks; let's discover why...together.
                Now the first question you are probably asking yourself is: "Why?" Some other top may contenders include: "Is this really a question?, why?", "Of course we know why...why don't you?", and the more rare, "Who cares?" Well folks --- I will have answered all of these questions by the end. So if you will come with me, and we will explore the unexplained.
                Whether or not they or you, for that matter realize it...it's happening all around us. I have found it somewhat bothersome in a sense, as well as at the same time...simply fascinating to experience. I am often lost for words, and often trying to play along; it goes both ways, it just simply rest on the level of craftiness and the such mood I am in, to deal with its presence. These experiences leave me in such awkward faces; I am either playing an act, or mustering my gut and thinking of my next move. You see folks... they like to suck you in, into their, "way of seeing the world" for a moment. It is an often tragic experience, but often as well, healing to a relationship...of different sorts. Whether it is by the roll of the die', or some other cosmic reason...they exist, and you are rolled my friend.
                 It is at this point, you act. You have one of two choices, which lead to "events" for you to keep in your memory forever. For it is these kinds of experiences... that grind on our instinctive feelings and emotions. They are either good or bad experiences. --- And as cliché  as that sounds...it's like bread and butter. It's that... ying-yang, black-white...sort of things. It either makes you smile or frown. And the question is: Which clown do you see? Which masked acted face, are you wearing today? You never know your day...your future, and nor can you really foresee your mood. Moods tend to shift...and if this was a poem, I would somehow reference the moon. But 'Anywhoo... Your moods change so swiftly, so readily to take the leap to the other-side. It's like little events for life to test us? How do we do against..."foreign emotions?" --- And I believe, these events happen for a very important reason.
                The next thing I say, I want to make Very Clear... although I, Taylor Travis...do Not know the sole reason to ask the one question: "Why?" --- I feel that I have found one true answer, that cannot be unwritten...even by the "gods of the cosmos" and what all that means... I know beyond anything and nothing... and everything in between... that Change is inevitable as is its goodness, and likewise further the exact same, as is Home. And I Do know the answer to the question why... it is, why not. Just simply why not. --- This is not a question people. It just is. It does. It goes. It changes. It stays the same. We will have experiences. We will not have experiences. We will awake. We will sleep. Nothing more. Nothing less. Because there is nothing else to experience, than experiencing everything you can...and experiencing everything you cannot. Now, this is just me. Take it as it is. As farfetched or how "confusing or wacky it might be", I'm not forcing anything. I am simply explaining my point of view on it. And as persuading as it may sound... I just want you to think. Think out of the box. Think in the box. Think of the box. Think that the box is something completely something else... before you ever think, you know it all. Oh because nay, and this is what I say...no, you do not. You are lies. You are a shamble.
Body 2:
                 Oh look at you. Such a show. Dancing and flailing. You see some sort of clown...that's for sure. So many metaphors could be said here... but let's just keep going. To just get this out of the way...here a few little quotes I've said(1) or have gathered from books I have read(2) or as in articles I have read on certain people's quotes(3)...etc. Etc. Etc...
"Because we are simply a group of individuals, who think we are individually right" (1)
"I was scared and I was desperate, most likely because I was exhausted from fighting back all the worst-ase scenarios in my head." (2)
"There is nothing so true as that the frock and the cowl..." (3)
"The search for God, is nothing more than the search for truth" (1)
               
                 So obviously, this post goes a little further than first look. If you haven't gotten it already, this post is an example of what I am writing about. But I won't bother you with the specifics. Hence, this body is short.
Body 3:
                 Anywhoozles... let's start with what first gave me interest to keep notice of these events. Donald is his name. Now before we get into this, I want to say this is not a fight of any sort... only an observation of mine. And I would also would appreciate if you could guys not send me any sort of resentment, of my opinion of this guy. I'm just being truthful as I can be...despite my possible bias I may have. Excuse me. I am human. Sorries? Anyway...he is one of those guys (and girls can be like this too...a lot of them are), that has to talk sooo much fucking game. He is a bad-ass. He is so tough. He is brilliant. He has done everything first. He has done everything better. He has done it all longer. He isn't scared of anything. And he knows it all, and if he doesn't know it...it's not worth nothing, and he will say screw it.
                He is also...an ignorant prick. He is a pathetic acting self-absorbed, self-esteem issue having red neck...who is awfully tattooed, he is close-minded, incest man who does it with his cousin...stupid annoying, fuck-face. What's a fuck-face? He is. Oh...and is has little dog syndrome. Look it up!
                Okay so, we are at work...he is on his latest spiel of how he beat a guy in a fight. He goes on and on for hours. So we are slow, kinda doing our own thing...he is vaguely telling the story, and no one is really listening. There was a brief pause, almost an awkward silence...and then he coughs? or like grunted in some sort of fashion...And I could hear him say something in it. It was hinted with a dash of /cry and /well fuck you too. He said either, "Aww, dammit." or "Damn it all." Now I am not really sure which, for I was trying to ignore him. But the awkwardness caught my attention, so I was just waiting for something...and I caught his words. --- Now as you read this...read it again. Reread the guy's quotes. There are different ways you can say them...there are different tones and pitches you can say them in. So I thought about what he said, I am usually interested in these sort of things of course. So...I got to a point where I could only think of him saying them in a pity me sort of way..."my life is soo horrible." When the truth is...it's Horrible, because he is a fuck-face. And I'm sorry. I won't pity you... there is no reason for me to. You are pathetic, and such of an asshole...where you have lost my vote sir. You have lost my vote to set you straight. For however cold this may seem, you are the scum of what makes up grime. Fuck you. You are an asshole. You are an inconsiderate douche bag...
                 You say damn it all? You know what I say? Yes. Please...you want so much, that you would act like a child and roll the dice', and put all of your chips, against the chances of death?
                Your child will grow up, in a broken home...Dad of the Year award? I don't think so. And he is going to be the manager? It burns my McChicken eating hide. But whatever, that's life huh? Awesome. Now read it again...



                Awesome.
Conclusion:

                Of course this is only a minor example, and view into the unexplained. I will further continue more in another post. But until then, here is my end.

"The Joker's Deal"



Astronautalis - Mr Blessington's Imperialist Plot, Lyrics here:  http://lyrics.wikia.com/Astronautalis:Mr._Blessington%27s_Imperialist_Plot

***READ TO THE BEAT
     OF THE DEEP BASS DRUM
     AT THE BEGINNING***

"The Joker's Deal"

Let's get the firsthand
And get things right
I see a bull-eyes in my sight

I tell these secrets to gain your trust
Let's say, nothing is a mystery for us
I have a trick up my sleeve, for everything
We can scape this land and leave nothing behind us
I can clear out rooms, in a single gust
I can hire liars of any size, I have simply nothing to hide
I have any suppliers, you may require to desire

Let's steal from easy prey, so what do you say

So I roll out the slip, eyes strain for the pamphlet
I will preach Hamlet, while I give you your packet
Let these lyrics gather your mind, and your attention too
Eyes start lingering about you
A secret unfolds just like magic,
When I crack it, this Matador's jacket
Take it and wave it, make the bull ballet
Make him suffer in haste
Dance and run with quick grace
Through the skyline cloud's habit
Now close your mind
And rid yourself of all gambits

Into the ring, into the china closet we go
Hand me your doe for safe keeping
Now sit for the show and watch me go pro
We see a bull snorting and bellowing his chest
He jumps like Jack be' Nimble, with a bit of Old Ness
In and out of towers of plates
Now don't make a mess

Will he crash, or take the cake
They ask if how it's done, can be leaked
One man, a few, a many, have stated
For this fine ass chuck and have laid down money
That he'd knock coins and shatter
His chances, and grow to be as cliché as a loser
So they throw down their deals and sell their taboos
But fools were further shown, as tools
And it's all because I have something to spool

Secrets vanish as I raffishly tear down these towers of plates
Full of fluff used as a get-away escape
Known from the beginning, when we sought the already caught
Opportunities that brought me you, then there to help me make my move
Blinded by trust and now abused, I take the lead
So I crash open your doubts
Of the things you dare not say or need
I ravishly shout and command your attention
Before you have time to think, or to make the connections

Did I mention, you lost the bet old man
This trick is as clean as magic
Can you fathom it, that the bull pulled through
Without a single crash, and me...I was all /dash too
I was like Nimble, and just played it cool
Kicked down to all knees, Hamlet here
Crying the size of thimbles
Grabbing your attention, while I pocket your pension
And simply easy the tension

Here is the secret, that has left us cringing for an ending
Leaving our minds in the clouds, and our eyes simply lingering
We get jitters and secrets wither, when we sellout to our bidders
Because it's all done with smoke and mirrors
And none of us can bear it, but can you believe it
We made it clean, we flash our flag signals and get
I do as I do, unraveling this spell from the beginning

It unreeled so eloquently, into my hands
Lathery silk was waved, and the trick was done
And no more is left, to bind me to you
Nothing more blinded you, from the truth
Success of today goes to the show, I tell to soothe
I own a few tricks of my own, and I am on a mission
Vanishing in smoke, they just call me
Magician
So here is my ride, and my end
And to you sir, "good day" my friend
Remember what I recommend
...Suspend...
End

Meh, what do yous guys think? Comments please.

By the way, Astronautalis is a BEAST!

"Old man's monologue."

The Killers - Mr. Brightside 
(Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Remix).

Lyrics here: http://www.metrolyrics.com/mrbrightside-jacques-lu-conts-thin-white-duke-remix-lyrics-the-killers.html



----------------------

...His pen and paper...

"The Old Man's Monologue."

And I just have to hit play.
This music engulfs me, it's the last one that I remembered
- Sir -

Uuuohhh......................................................................
Oh duh...
I wanted to hit play
This song...
It was a weird one...not yet so much understood
...not yet so much understood
It had a funky beat no doubt
It mainly had a focus, on how...
There is always doubt in our world
It was amazing...
I can't describe it's...loveliness
It was just right for the mood you know?
So it plays, and it makes me want to write
Right here...
Right now.
But I have a speech to give
As old as I am
I be 75...
And old man they say...
But I, oh I say much different.
If they only understood,
What I have to say.
But in there lies the problem,
They don't understand in what way,
I am portraying it.
I'm an oddball of sorts, one who wonders on things
Everything really,
There's the sinke
                                  *
                                     ^
                                           !
                                                 (
                                                                =
                                                                 I
                                                                 0
                                                                 I
                                                                 R---->.
They don't get my oddity.
And that's where I get my Lolr on.
I get my lol'ing on.
I bathe in my lolens.
Cute little things, that make you laugh.
See the word: AWESOME!
See the phrase: Done! and Done! Son!

As my monologue goes on
All I hope is that I am remembered
Before I die an old man
I am the caption, erm...Captain, Hardwood
That is my name,
It is Lance Hardwood
And basically
I make Justin Bieber look like a tool
I am the real stuff
I have roamed this woods,
For soo long,
I often got caught up
In my own gatherings...
In my own,
Mind...
Really...
Unexplainable things,
This is my badge,
So to speak,
That sounded like as a screech would sound...
It was scary,
And whoooo...did it make me jump like a clown.

- Sir...you are wanted on stage. -
Oh thank you Frank, thank you...
Oh you...
- That is a truly funny observation sir... -
Have a good night tonight.
- You too sir. -

I get lost in thought
I saw it coming...
But I didn't stop it.
It's my curse.
I think of the ,"darndest", things.
And then people get my attention.

When I am a' (*Insert falling "miss"* .
Pause = Correction.
I tend to ramble
Until I get it right the first time
When I am a' (*Insert falling*) "miss".

- Sir... -
Oh yes...
Here we are,
Here we go,
Let's go,
I have everything,
It's time to shine.
I just hope the light,
Isn't too bright,
When I have to make,
The last word mean the most,
For you see,
The best is at the last,
So don't undermine,
Your time.
Get shit done I say,
And I am 75,
75,
This is my brethren that I see,
In the mirror,
This is me,
And I can do things,
And here is my speech,
That I screech,
To the crowd,
At my feet...

And they listen,
Oh how they roar,
They are my sea anemone,
My fans,
They are my family.

And as I speak to the crowd,
They just take me in,
Into my metaphorical mirror,
That I can't spell ---
That I can't dispel...
And they love it.
And Oh how I...
Love them.
And "whoo",
How lost I get at the thought...
I love life.
Even at 75...
Love is in the air,
And I can't explain this story,
As my laptop lays atop my desk,
And the crown of my head,
Spots where they are balding,
That I just don't hide,
Just because I am...
Just that cool...
Old guy.

I feel like I am 20,
And I can't believe it...
They just don't understand,
And I can't explain,
For I am choked in memories.
I seem to know a lot,
A lot about everything,
I am the wise man,
In this new day,
And I don't feel like giving it up...
Anytime soon.
Yes...yes, that is what I'll tell them,
My friends,
That is the story I will tell,
Here at my desk,
I will tell the story of my being,
Of my adventuring...
Of your reading.

We will all experience all the same realization of life.
We will understand it all one day...
But not today.
So do not fret...
Not is all lost,
And no matter how much it will cost...
I will fix this damn mike,
And learn to speak.
Yes that is what I'll write...
And in the end,
It will all be a spell.

- We're ready for you sir... -
Oh yes...
Let's go,
We have a show...

You see...Sir
You are an actor in this play...
You have a line...
To say.
And even if the first word you say is right...
We all go wrong eventually.

...And I remember...

You aren't the controller of your life.
It just goes...
You are the controller of the controller of your life,
Yes...
That will be my last line of the night...

"So get it right...get it right."

"Good night...Good night."
