I'm 36

I'm 36
I'm driving on a street filled with beggars and millionaires
The middle class is gone.. Almost, there's me still. Hm
I wish I could walk but I can't... it's dirty black corolla
plastic rims, manual locks, fabric seats, blown out
It's an automatic, it doesn't even need my help
I open my wallet and it's filled with pennies
Last meal was yesterday, it was sardines
I work at a failure insurance company
The front door wasnt touched today
I'm entertained by playing farmville
The other employees ignore me
I have one friend on FB.. Mike
I've never met him, never will
I have a masters in physics
I don't recall e=mc^2 at all
I live in a dank apartment
No elevator, no windows
The showers lukewarm
I don't use shampoo
My bed is only 6 ft.
Girls don't see me
Only the dullards
I cannot dream
Or daydream
6 hr sleep
Wakeup
Repeat.

Ode

Ode to...

I think about you like a beggar thinks about Benjamin, like an alcoholic thinks about his booze, like caterpillar thinks about a butterfly, like the ugly duckling thought about a swan, like a Mexican thinks about America, like a construction worker thinks about his building, like a young boy on the streets of Akron thinks about Lebron James.

I have wanted you since the day I discovered you, hence my constant thinking about you. Your possession in imminent, I do not doubt that fact.

Heroes

Turns out when I logged in in order to create a blog, I already had one.. Interesting! Well anyways.. Chali 2na is the name i've chosen to represent me this year. Chali 2na (Charlie Tuna) is a rapper from the group Jurassic five. (For anyone familiar with them he is the one with the low voice) I find the way he raps quite amazing, and although he is still not my favorite rapper, I chose him to represent me. It's interesting, because i didn't choose him to represent me because he is my hero or anything close. I actually just had a J5 song stuck in my head, and so it was him I chose. An interesting concept heroes are. When asked the question of who my hero is, it always takes me quite some time to come up with an answer, and the answer usually is.. I have no clue. This is because I don't have ONE hero. I've observed that a hero to people is someone that they want to grow up as, and be exactly like. I could say my hero is my dad, or Lebron, or Tupac. But its none of them. There are traits I like about all of these people. But I don't like every trait about each of them. So I have decided that if anyone asks me again who my hero is I will reply "My hero, is the future me, and once I have become who I will be, I will make a bibliography and cite all of the traits I borrowed in order to form me."
