going through holes.

pogopaloozaaa



when i was in 7th grade i begged my parents for an extreme pogo stick. i had a vision of becoming something like a pro; grinding rails, jumping off of roofs,and doing flips all on this one amazing gadget.due to safety concerns of me flying 10 feet in the air and gaining brain damage from a terrible fall my request was denied ,but i did however receive a standard pogo which i was able to consecutively bounce up and down over 1000 times;yes i counted. i can honestly say i loved that feeling of bouncing.it was a feeling of freedom, a feeling as though everything was still as the birds watched and you listened to the wind for suggestions on how high you should go.  but as life took course and seasons changed my focus was shifted from becoming  a professional pogo-sticker to other things, and when the next time i was reminded of my deferred dream i learned that  my beloved pogo stick was ruined from the rain.fortunately there are others people who have not let their pogo passion go to waste. this year the 7th pogopalooza was held in utah. one day i vow to attend and witness what i consider one of the best sport known to man.( along with dodge-ball, figure skating, and free running,and scuba diving of course.)

...3:54am thoughts

sometimes i think the only reason people read,watch tv, or listen to music is to validate the way they live.we so often disregard what we think,and feel,because it comes from ourselves but if it were to come from a professor,poet,psychologist, actor, or musician we would tweet and repeat it in a second. i often feel this way when im reading something written by someone we label as a "great mind" and realized countless people come up with similar analysis's everyday just by sitting there, pondering, and deciding what it truly real to them .similar not same.we look to other people and call them genius only because they are the ones brave enough to show the world what they feel,instead of what was placed in their hand,and what they see not what has clouded their vision.the ones bold enough to share theirs are the great minds. these are the leaders, these are the dummies.im done with validation. im through being smart.im living on instinct. im trusting myself, im writing my story,im taking off the headphones,im singing my song. im done with waiting for someone else to voice my opinions, because no matter how much i believe what they are saying,our views will never be the same.know the value of your thoughts,know the value of your art, know the value of your truth.
