I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

well I just looked in the mirror and things aren’t looking so good

well I can’t get any lower still I feel I’m sinking

show me the power child I’d like to say that I’m down on my knees today

yeah it gives me the butterflies gives me away till I’m up on my feet again

there’s a lot of me inside you maybe you’re afraid to see

you pushed a button … those motherfuckers didn’t last too long
I’m sick of hearing ’bout the “have’s” and the “have not’s”
have some personal accountability
the biggest problem with the way that we’ve been doing things is
the more we let you have the less that I’ll be keeping for me

don’t give a shit about no temperature in Guatemala
don’t really see what all the fuss is about
ain’t gonna worry about no future generations and no
I’m sure somebody gonna figure it out

don’t try to tell me that some power can corrupt a person
you haven’t had enough to know what it’s like
you’re only angry ’cause you wish you were in my position
now nod your head because you know that I’m right … alright!

well I used to stand for something forgot what that could be

well I used to stand for something now I’m on my hands and knees

part of where I’m going is knowing where I’m coming from

I don’t want to be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately

all I have to do
is think of me and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ’round rooms
wondering what I’ve got to do
or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me

I’m surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I’m surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I’m surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Are I the only one who noticed?
I can’t be the only one who’s learned!

3 years – 700 posts!!

Got this party started Sept. 17/09 … and 700 posts later, I’m still here!! 3motherfuckingand7fuckinghundred … WOW … quite an achievement if I do boastingly say so myself … and since it’s MY blog … I DO!! No time left now for shame, horizon behind me, no more pain … and was a lot of time passing and hard efforts that got me here, methinks I have a chest-thumping, slapping myself on the back right despite likely lazy-assed naysaying from a petty jealous unaccomplished lot – you can do better, then do better – don’t be raggin’ ‘n rainin’ on my parade!! 2-3 weeks ago realized my three year anniversary was nearing, AND was approaching 700 posts … instinctively syncing-the-deuce … plotting plus planning offing 2 milestone birds with 1 brick began – and with mind doing double-time duty, and fingers pounding the keyboard was able to get there. Love scrolling down my homepage and spying my archive column (thing’s a motherfucking mile long – puts a grin on my puss,lol)!! Don’t know what the future holds in danistrulythemanland … don’t care – right now I’m soaking this all in, just wanna savour today’s flavour!! Snapped this shot last week-end, my pics mean a lot to me, this one more – with my front facing iPhone camera too, something I NEVER EVER do, strange eh?! S’ok folks, sure y’all know by now – strange suits me motherfucking fine!!

please mother mercy take me from this place

and the long-winded curses I hear in my head

I never wanted
to write these words down for you
with the pages of phrases
of things we’ll never do
so I blow out the candle
and I put you to bed
since you can’t say to me now
how the dogs broke your bone
there’s just one thing left to be said
say hello to heaven

it’s a war inside my head, I take a day off I’ll be dead

a dark black past is my
most valued possession

hindsight is always 20-20
looking back it’s still a bit fuzzy

feeling claustrophobic
like the walls are closing in
blood stains on my hands
and I don’t know where I’ve been

I’m in trouble for the things
I haven’t got to yet
I’m sharpening the ax
and my palms are getting wet
sweating bullets

I’ll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, fuck with the stars

You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars

I’m feeling rough, I’m feeling raw, I’m in the prime of my life

We’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend

I’m a self-critical glutton!!

Honestly don’t know why I do this to myself? Subjecting myself to my over-the-top-analysis – maybe we all do it, I dunno?! Always feel I look like shit in pics (but please … feel free to disagree, lol) … the fuck’s up with the hair, lol?! And am only posting now because I didn’t earlier in my previous post … ooops, my lazy-ass bad. Btw … hello September, goodbye summer … happy Labour Day week-end y’all!! 🙂

thought I was gonna vomit!!

… first walking to my car, then driving home … and that wasn’t the worst of it … nauseousness kept lingering!! Thankfully SS previously prepared me (really reminded me) beforehand of what might happen … IMMEDIATE SENSORY PERCEPTION OVERLOAD is best I can describe throwing on a pair of prescribed glasses for the first time (in my old-man lifetime) …  haven’t been accustomed to sporting them for almost 35 years, ‘nstead choosing wearing contact lenses … goodbye periphery – hello tunnel vision best sums it up!! Was barely able to drive home alone without getting into an accident all you macaulays out there … thankfully any ralphing is waning!! AND big thanks to Cincinnati Melissa, Toronto Perry and TO TJ for quickresolutionofmyphonecallpissedoffness (within a couple of hours too, btw) regarding issues of said headgear … LOVE great customer service, and you guys fucking rock … kudos, and thanks!! 🙂
