everyone acts different no matter what age. when people say act your own age it isnt your age that they mean-its 40 years older than you are.
why do some people want to grow up so fast? is it wrong to live life looking at the bright side of things and being happy?

maybe i dont need to act older. you need to act younger. why not just enjoy life while you have it?

Would you? (or Oil, for that matter, or the lumber industry...even as passionate about environmentalism as I am...that would be a very tempting offer after living as a starving musician for so long...Would you "sell out?" I might...) (or I might not, but I would definitely take a few weeks to decide...)...
Does that make me evil? (actually, I already know I'm evil, but would that make me even more so...?!?)

The people on the T.V. screen
The ones selling god.
I pray for eternal forgiveness
Scums, mucks, shots in the dark.
But everyone is human and wants to give in to spit and spite, and smitten.
Faith, hope, wealth are for up for grabs.
Up for sale
oh, gosh, think about the children!
think about the whales!!!
Yes, the human race is a shot in the ******* back, pitch black, doing smack.
The ones who sneak up and take your part,
it's all a game, a play, a joke.
The people selling religion on my screen.
The dirtiest of people, the cleanest of clean.
I am crop without the cream.
My last breath I would breathe
Is in the end we are all the same
Looking for forgiveness in the worst common ways.

The mattress squeaks with a familiar rhythm.
My sweaty palms are flat against the wall.
This is our third position and yet it all feels the same, empty.
Numbing sex is what I call it in my head.
Because every time we intertwine, I don't feel anything.
While your hitting it from behind, my mind wanders.
I count down how many times it slips out,
I think about how long I'll hang around after we are finished.
And I wonder if you'll even have the decency,
To pretend you care after we are done.
Last time after our heated exchange I left with a peace sign.
No kiss goodbye, no hugs, but what else would I expect?
That how we always start it, small talk and awkwardness.
We know we'll end up in bed again,
But its masked by that damn DVD you put on every time.
Sometimes the movie is more interesting then the sex.
I hate you for ever asking me to do this.
But I hate myself even more for agreeing with it.
I hate that I like the numbing feeling I get afterwards.
I hate that I only do this because I love him,
and I can't have him, so I turned to you.
I hate that you tell me I'm classy but I still partake,
In no emotion, just plain, sex. how am I classy again?
friends with benefits? how about unpaid whore?
But no matter how much I hate it,
I know that next time you call I'll come over.
And will talk, you'll put on the dvd, ask where's your hug,
and I'll be right back where I started,
sweaty palms against the wall,
and the mattress squeaking in that familiar rhythm.

What motivates you to write a story story instead of something else like a diary entry or an article? Do you like the challenge etc.?

Asking daft questions like "Will i know hunger if am always full, know sad if am always happy?" What pretentious rubbish!

Life isn't so complicated. Not everything has some deep hidden meaning. Not everything is the opposite of what it appears to be. Mostly what you see is what you get. The meaning of life is procreation. The only gift to the next generation is the experience of the previous generation.

Is it all too simple? Are you bored when things are exactly what they appear to be? Are you scared that people will think you stupid if you are willing to accept things as they are?

do you think it fits under which one:
1. Peace is not an absence of war; it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.

or

2. peace comes from within. do not seek it without.

what do you think? please back it up xD
