Punk Rock Lives!
Its typical for a minority social movement to throw away the accepted rules of society. But they almost always end up just substituting another set of rules for the ones they just challenged…lol Punk rock lives! Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels really good…lmao! A rad fkn band name you never knew existed…
(heres my additions)
1. The Pineapple Clan
2. Starvation Army
“Mele Kalikimaka” FAM
In a 2008 Gallup/Healthways survey
only 47% of the people in Hawaii said they were satisfied with their jobs (the lowest score of any state)
Hawaiians still raked second in overall HAPPINESS!

*USED “dreams” 4 SALE !
Caption reads:
“There will come a day when you never have to be alone. All you have to do is ask when the calm chill of the night gets cold. All you need to do is reach out. If you ever feel like you’re drowning, just breathe me in when we both cant stop falling. Know you’re not alone because dreams do come true we will be landing together.”

If i could tell her…
Dont let go to soon, but dont hang on too long…
The beautiful lie:
You can look at a lie someone told you and have malice and negative feelings toward them. If it was a beautiful lie and it made you feel good, why not just be thankful that at one point it made your heart smile? I mean we can wish it wasn’t a lie but that will not change the fact that it was one.
Example: If a drop dead gorgeous girl told you ‘You’re very handsome’, even if she was lying didn’t it feel good at the moment?
Point I’m trying to make is, “Take it for what its worth at the time.
Enjoy it and let it go…”
PAINKILLERS!
Reality VS Captivity
Hey you wanna know sumpthin really weird, I was painting yesterday and I actually thought in my head about calling my grandma to get grandpa’s address to write to him. I was wondering in my head if he knew how to use the internet and I was going to tell him how to get to my website & blog to ask him what he thought about my art. It’s like I had my letter conversation I wanted to have with him before I realized he passed away when I was in high school, I felt kind of dumb but I figured I would still share it with you since its kind of a coincidence that someone from my family wrote to me right after it happened. Maybe since I’m cut off from the world it feels like I sometimes get cut off from reality as well.

Carrots, Eggs & Coffee ? Which do you choose?
“Carrots, Eggs & Coffee
A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee….You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up, She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without say ing a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ‘ Tell me what you see.’
‘Carrots, eggs, and coffee,’ she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, ‘What does it mean, mother?’
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
‘Which are you?’ she asked her daughter. ‘When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.
When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.”
