33. I Had Jimi Hendrix For Breakfast.

My mom left me a plate of 2-hour-old scrambled eggs with sausage on the table this morning. It didn't look too appetizing, so I added a pinch of Bold As Love and a dash of Little Wing. It tasted like a meal for a king.

32. What Is It I Want?

What is it I want?
In this walk that I walk,
In this peace
That I piece
Together with 99¢ glue from the 99¢ store.
I ponder the mosaic in front of me,
It's so full of magical colors, sparkly colors
Pieced together with 99¢ glue from the 99¢ store.
The harmony between each and every piece,
Between the red one and the blue one and the green one and the yellow.
To this I cheer.
I cheer to this wholeheartedly.
I dance in circles, I dance in zigzags;
I dance to this wholeheartedly.
I sing pleasurable notes, I make pleasurable beats;
I sing to this wholeheartedly.
I write to this wholeheartedly.
I laugh to this wholeheartedly.
I swim to this wholeheartedly.
I smoke to this wholeheartedly.
I cry to this wholeheartedly.
To my wonder,
Despite all the ways I've learned and evolved to this wholeheartedly,
I still ponder,
What is it I want?

28. I'm Going To Die From A Bladder Infection.

Sometimes I hold in my pee even at home. I think that's where most of my scars came from--bumping into things while trying to run to the bathroom all the time...

27. Take Your Roses and Walk. (Version 2)

Forgiving your nemesis is like walking through a 200 mile-long path adorned with rose bushes. When you're walking through it, though, remember to pick the flowers, not the thorns; painful memories will make it seem effortless to do otherwise.

26. Take Your Roses and Walk.

Forgiving your nemesis is like walking through a 200 mile-long rose bush. When you’re walking through it, though, remember to collect the flowers, not the thorns. Otherwise, you’ll end up more torn than when you had entered.

25. A Circle, But A Spiral.

Neglecting the past is a dangerous game to play. When you do so, you’re at risk of a fixed cycle, otherwise known as a two-dimensional circle. You've looked at this circle your whole life, seeing its line become darker, thicker, coarser. So, what if you never get to realize that this circle is not a circle but a three-dimensional spiral? You see, your whole life, you’ve looked at this spiral from the top surface, and this angle has only been showing you a circle that never seizes to bloat. You’ll never realize that this “circle” has more to offer than you thought it could: a point of origin, a direction. How will you ever learn why your line progresses the way it does? You’ll always believe in a fallacy, a two-dimensional world of circles. When will you ever see your majestic spiral?

24. To Know The Future...

Why be afraid of what's sure to happen? Therefore, don't be afraid of Tomorrow. Don't be afraid of Love. Don't be afraid of Success. Don't be afraid of Failure. Don't be afraid of The Best Time Of Your Life.
