If Reincarnation is Real, I was a King in a Past Life.

Picture a bunch of marbles rolling across the floor in unison forming a tight pack. What if one of the marbles somehow starting to spin in the opposite direction of the other marbles? What if the marble next to that marble started doing the same thing? How many marbles would have to make this change before the group as a whole began moving backwards?

Cleopatra ruled Egypt when she was 18 along side her 10 year old brother. You cant even vote in the country until your 18. Ain't that some shit? The biggest differences between 18 year old Cleopatra, Pharaoh of Egypt, and 18 year old Sally, Queen of Nordstroms and her Dad's Credit Card, is title and responsibility. We constantly tell kids they can't do shit, so they never do anything. We think that because they are young they don't have legitimate input in decision making. Meanwhile, we could have a bunch of miniature kings and little Ceasars running around.

This is My Next Venture

Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. Girls are from Hell.

Most first loves don't last. Lately, I've been curious as to why. After much deliberation, I think I've figured out a major cause of this. Most guys end up with girls as their first love. This is inherently a problem. Girls are not made to coexist with others.

To any guys out there that may be close to having to make a substantial commitment, you need to make sure that it's not with a girl. I don't pretend to be any kind of expert, but I think I may be able to offer some criteria on how to know whether or not you're dating a girl.

First of all, although it may seem silly, girls scream. No one knows why, but they scream a lot. Most guys get used to it because we have to deal with it so often throughout life, but from a external perspective, it's clear that this is borderline retarded behavior. I really don't understand the thought process behind it. I don't know why a girl sees another girl and deems that a reasonable time to scream. If a guy did that, he wouldn't have any friends.

Here's one thing thats a little more geared to those in relationships, but it takes somewhat of an anecdote to explain. Say your girlfriend offers to go with you to a car show, even though you have not expressed any interest in her going, and you know that she has no interest in the cars at the show. Say a couple weeks later she asks you to go with her to a play. When you say that you don't want to go, she brings up the fact that she went to the car show with you, even if it was completely on her own accord. If this has happened to you, you're dating a girl.

If she becomes interested in something to the point that it becomes borderline obsession, and you just recently became interested in the same topic, you're dating a girl.

If she has never looked at a situation that negatively effects her life and realized that it might be her fault, you're dating a girl.

There is no reason to settle for girls. If you're not happy with your girl then you have every right to leave. Turns out, women do exist, and they are available. Go get your Pepper Potts.

That Prickle on the Back of Your Neck

Do you ever get the feeling that we don't fucking matter?

We Ain't Trippin. We'll be There in a Minute.

Happy August. July just kind of peaced out, didn't it? I feel like July was a good month, though. Brought me some shit, brought me some new opportunities. I feel a slight change in perspective is in motion. I'm starting to see more of the good in things. I find that I have more to smile about, lately. Not to say that I was depressed, by any means. Things can get discouraging at times, though.

I feel like I have fallin in love with music all over again. I made someone a mixtape today. It was a really good mixtape. A lot of thought went to it. I feel like it tells a good story. It means a lot to me. I really want to give you guys the tracklist, but I'm going to keep that close to the chest haha. I think I'm going to start making more mixtapes, though. It allows me to stay more acquainted with the farthest ends of my musical passions. I'm really excited to turn 21 because I want to go to way more shows, but I'd much rather chill in the bar. I usually don't find the floor super pleasant. I'm listening to A Rhyming Ape by Lupe Fiasco as I write this. If you don't know, get on it.

I'm stoked for school to start again, but I'm definitely not eager. I've really enjoyed chillin this summer. I won't lie, life is way easier when all you've got to worry about is work. We're all getting older, though.
