a second time.

i didn't know you up close
and yet your smile being gone
shattered me to pieces

 no blood, and yet we were.
i couldn't help but think of the irony
it felt undeserved and disrespectful

 and yet it brought me comfort
knowing that your joy
would have wanted the smiles

 i do not wish to be disingenuous
i am not one to say many things
but with every laugh

 with every laugh i'll stop
i'll think and i'll add a little more joy
a second laugh, a second smile

 i'll think of what the world is now missing
with no intent to fill the gap
but with every intent to remember

 to remember that life is precious
life is gentle
and life will go

 may you rest in peace.

Taking control.

There is a certain freedom that lies within our minds that needs to be satisfied from time to time. We all have our ways, our methods to finding this freedom and for finding this satisfaction that our mind requires. In a complex variation of points, everything connects, and suddenly, it all makes sense. I don't know why I wrote that really, but my mind seems to want to write words to no reason, it seems to desire to speak. We are ready to go. The world is. We have reached endless amounts of opportunities and goals, and have quickly decided that in our time, everything would be possible. We went to the moon before we actually had personal computers, and now we're in the 21st century, and I stop and think, what is there to do? And it is then that I realize, we are failing. As the brilliant scholars that we are, we have yet to figure out the very system that will keep each and every human being at peace. We have yet to understand how to properly feed those who don't have ...

Finance

A small quote I came up with as I was going to bed last night, felt it was worth sharing: Don't buy depreciating assets unless they are a necessity and if so, buy them depreciated.

Don't play with fire...

The small lizard lay incognito As I walked in for a sandwich I took out some bread, cheese, and pepperoni too, And as I failed at making a pizza, there it was, the no longer hidden lizard, Inside the empty vase, Which my dad had left outside. I remember a time in need of guidance, I remember a time in need of orders, Where I did what I was told, Where I knew no better, But a new time has come, It is time to grow older. Is it time to grow older? I wonder, where was I? How did it all go by this fast? I'm still in school, I'm still young, I'm still a kid, who tells his father, don't leave the vase out, the lizard's may come in. The roles will change, From father to son, to son to father, and although not yet, I know at some point, My parents will need of me, As I needed of them, For what seems like, an eternity. So as my father walks by, I sit here wondering, Will he ever go back, Will he ever forget? Will I ever have to say... No Dad, Don't play with fire. qk
