free throws

(2 shots of mango gelato)

in 2008, the human race, most especially us first world dwellers, are a bunch of spoiled ass mu'f*ckers. seriously. i laugh at myself as i type on my macbook, have 4 different internet windows up (blogger, nytimes, ybf, edge.org), listen to DNC speeches on youtube, and simultaneously think about random thoughts such as if Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton were in a boxing ring, Michelle would totally whoop Hillary's ass...and i do all this on the time and dime of the folks who generously provide me with bomb ass medical benefits.

i'm not thinking about how i'm going to hustle my next meal, how i'm going to pay for the next doctor's appointment, whether i'm going to live or die tomorrow, etc.

spoiled thoughts and issues of ego baptize the brain.

first world dwellers don't think on the "i only have 1 or 2 chances" tip- we think on the abundance theory that the window is always open.
how long can any American be in a trance of a long sustained thought where an issue of self /ego isn't a priority?

i have to go to work...i have to plan this...my problem is this...they don't understand me...she hurt me...he pissed me off...i hate paying for gas...i'm so busy...we're so stressed...his issues are affecting me...i don't have enough money...i want this...i'm afflicted...

me. me. me.
i. i. i.

as much as i'm an advocate for complete self-awareness,
the affluent declarations of self can get a little played out, no?
