Rubber Ducky

So I’m sitting here…listening to dogs bark..I decided to do a synopsis of my life thus far…

Talk about humorous or hubris..I have to say the biggest thing I’ve learned is not to be so gullible.

I have always placed true faith in people when meeting them.  I would have to say I am more disappointed in learning that bygones naturally have a thing for justification… It’s always easier to justify one’s actions when they are based on false pretense as so many people believe they “KNOW”.

I have stated many times before when your “Here” your relevant…and when you’re not, you’re not!

Listening to my elders has led me to believe many things.

#1. We are guided by intentions, my intentions although respectable have a limit. With that being said I don’t always make the best decisions.  I can at times (most of the time) be sarcastic, demeaning, belittling, and downright crass.  I believe not many people understand this is a defense mechanism for guarding my heart and my assets. On the other hand I am giving, supportive, honest, and infallible when it comes to protecting those that are close to my heart.  It’s funny how when a person notices the elephant in the room it always wants to sit at their table.

#2. I can’t learn from your experiences…I guess I am a “Burner Learner” however, How can I learn from someone else’s experiences when they don’t have any…Unless i’m walking in your path, striving to achieve what you have, or seeking to become an apprentice within your genre I can’t learn much from you…This is not to say if you tell me the sky is blue that I won’t believe you, but attempting to talk to me about life beyond the generic is pointless. Especially if you manipulate your own to stay afloat.  I recently read somewhere  It’s not what you’ve done or where you’ve been..It’s what you’re doing and where your going. Comfortability is neither good or bad but it says much about expectations of which most comfortable people have none.

#3.  Everything expires…People, Piracy and Patience

#4. Security is a state of mind. If you’re not looking for stability your never going to have it.

#5. Christians and Homosexuals are messy..the Whole lot of them…Me Included! The only difference is some aren’t corrupt or abusive.  Never having to Beg, Borrow or steal, never asking but  always offering and certainly not making promises they can’t keep or are willing to uphold.

#6. Don’t Smile in someone’s face unless their your boss and they sign your check…it’s just a ploy for them to plant the guilt in your garden. But you know what…don’t fault someone for accepting what you offer if the feeling of disgust is going to plague the aftermath.

#7. Business and Friends is bad period…I have yet to land in a situation where I am not looking for whats owed over how good our interactions have been, I know my conversations are pleasurable, I was made that way.  Personally I find I’ve become a platform scuffed by  shoe marks, cum and spit…quite frankly it’s tiring.

A) Shoe Marks- Being the Good Guy…Getting Walked all over by others who are just as confused.

B) Cum- It’s Just a free for all once the orgasm has passed…The only question is where it lands…Your mouth, Your Chest, Your Back…Once it’s over your move to clean-up.

C) Spit-  Being degraded to the lowest point simply because of a blindsided revelation. One that is not your own but regarded as “Important” to someone close at the time.

#8. No one accepts what another is willing to pass upon.

#9. Everyone wants to be in a relationship…Yes one may be content with his or her current status but in the end dying alone is never in the cards.  Albeit most people who are alone are alone by choices good and bad.

#10.  If it walks like a duck, Quacks Like a Duck, and Craps like a Duck….Throw it a piece of bread and keep it moving….

I know what it’s like to walk a hundred miles with a thousand pounds and a million questions .

I know what it’s like to be inconvenienced  and then convene in the wake of waiting.

I know what it’s like to harbor unjust hatred and misplace faith upon the mantel of an unsure deity.

I know what it’s like to speak in sincerity to only then be gazed upon warily.

I know what it’s like to listen to anothers experience and pass judgement.

I know what it’s like to listen to anothers judgement and pass on experiences.

I know what it’s like to want to die, to only be reborn.
