I nearly wept
maybe it's the new father in me
but the simplicity
the dynamics
the innocence
is captured
in perfect motion

thank you guys

the magical mystery of unveiling new truths

the unraveling of a ball of string

into a pile of yarn

welcome to the barn

animals welcome you and want your advice

do you prefer sugar or spice

this is most definitely something nice

I end up lost in thought and in time

Locked up with justification

with no trace of my crime

they have been committed

I have been committed

Walls become fun to bounce off of

rather than avoiding corners and aiming for walkways

I long for longer days

guess what?

not a challenge
a mere exercise
albeit an exciting one

...

Mind is the Master--Power that moulds and makes
And man is mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of thought, and shaping what he wills,
brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills:
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass,
environment is but his looking glass.

James Allen

I represent your eternity, an always steady fate
I'll control my being; so on me, you'll never wait
forces of nature and world stir you up inside
A Queen or peasant on ice -- always will glide
Enhance your quality and it will shine forth
if south is your Hell, then please travel north.

hungry already!
10:34 am
not a good status update for the hour
pb and j not holding down the fort
rivers of coffee have ravaged Stomach Village

messaged my lioness on a social network
feelin good about my advancements on the day

Coachella reviews all seem positive
which is fitting
I wasn't there

Yes
I am an agent calling on behalf of a customer
Secret Agent??
not so much

Simultaneously I didn't qualify for a 2 dollar survey
Hmmm..Bigspot not quite hitting the spot

Again
I am the Agent
I am advised that BAC is a debt collector

Almond Milk is the healthy alternative
So is sleep
I pursue the latter

Steak fajita burrito down the hatch
My stomach calculating how pissed it will be with me
I cardio it off with walks to the printer

In a four way translated convo
INTENSE
only way to describe

Loooove this Photo

a big thank you to 'Leotard Diaries'
visit her and become a fan
it is always worth it

she has introduced to me
Ms. Magdalena Frackowiak

I refer to her as Ms. and always will
I steadily believe she is holding out for my wife to pass
so she can be named Mrs. Wilson
morbid
unrealistic
hilarious
get into it

ANYWAY
here is my favorite found photo of Ms. F
so far

there is nothing to see here

this seems about right

It's the 29th day of March 2010 - The Space Age!!

2010-03-29T09:44:00.000-07:00

here in this space-age i sit
with an aching back and a tingling nose
Billy sounds about the same
sick
not sure about his aching
his accent and demeanor are enlightening
I am far different than most
is what it calmly reminds me of
very refreshing on this tingling, achy morning
i hold
while sent docs are searched out
excitement makes my spine pep up with pain
ah no, that's my slipped disk
the space age

the simple four letter word
Elle
gets a rise out of the masses
one that the Pope would have trouble mirroring

my day ends completing surveys
wow

i'm in the smallest of green moods today
i'm holding for the next available agent
as my back is quite sore - lacking attention
as my mind wanders supreme - attention seeker
elevator jazz
not in an elevator
wheres the disco??

not here at all
surfacing now around 315pm
started this adventure at 915am
wow
busy
busy
busy
20th century man is the business
seriously ... it kills time you don't have to kill
http://20thcenturyman.tumblr.com/

i shout out to someone
knowing they can't hear me
seems like a recurring nightmare
that someone would tell
while stretched out on fine leather
i wouldn't know

goodbye ambition
goodbye transition
hello myself
hello intel

What NBC "The Office" character are you? Your Result: Michael Scott You love to be the center of attention and consider yourself funny and charming. However, most people find you obnoxious. Though you are oblivious and often inappropriate deep down everyone knows you have a good heart and care for others.

i really have nothing of interest to speak of

that is what makes my journal perfect

to me

the new crew is buzzing and busy

but it's nice

the buzz in particular

serves as the white office noise

i've grown subconsciously fond of it

deep breathe in

an even deeper one out

work is screaming out at me

in the form of paper mountains

entertainment

i bid you hello

fascination

i bid you goodbye

good morning world!
i hope you are well
if not - leave me a message
tell me about it
and I'll reply in tomorrows blog
from my heart
the bottom
of it

the previous all stemmed from me 'googling'
the phrase 'good morning world'
now I will follow these slick gentleman on their journey
see what their 1st sode is all about
go from there...

good morning Bg
Good morning AGizzle
Hello Billy the Goat
my peeps, what's good

I open with madness but promise
sanity might prevail

Aya Yasuda is technically my 'friend' now

a day or so after accepting my request on FB

thank you Aya

My primary focus on obtaining friendship

was to say I'm sorry for your sad DQ

from the winter olympics for the weight limit

not yours of course

but your total weight in the event

it's not your fault

probably your trainer :)

aside from my sorrow for you

I also laud you for the pictures of Japan

it's glorious landscapes sampled here...

thank you again!

The Hat

served as my source of lunch

lunch with OP and Nicole was

amazing

my stomach certainly does not agree

hairy legs in nylons

those were the ending words to my first 'real' conversation

this morning

you know it is going to be a

great day

when it begins

with

hairy legs in nylons

it stemmed from the casual talk

of how 'wrong'

NOT morally YET fashion-wise

it is for men to dress as women

our bodies weren't built for

like

hairy legs in nylons

fire and brimstone from cubicles

organic french roast

brewed with 9.5 kangen water

yes

please

it perks without the bite

zings without the lull

its meant to be

Total Commander on its way

to my phone

sounds like an old Nintendo game

updated my phone

with a sleeker meaner look

vicious

just picked up a frisco burger

n' fries

wish it was from frisco though

because then I'd be

with the one and only

my whole internet provider just

shut down

thank goodness for Blogspot's

save a ho feature

twice..

BG's picture sites are off the hook

great entertainment in the middle

of the afternoon

JJ just came across Zack De La Rocha

in a coffeeshop

he said approaching him would blow his cover

as no one had recognized him yet

i offered some advice

'kiss the nape of his neck'

no reply

finding humor where it's not

is easiest if you let it all go

all your expectations

all your wants

gone

to get all you've wanted

i plead for a representative

with an automated woman

i can't win arguments with real women

how on earth will I one up a robot

i lub eet

6pm and I'm still here

hmmm

two more calls

hopefully they stay under 15 minutos

goodnight

voicemails vary nearly all the time
norco mixed with coffee is sublime
intertwined
in this day

ok ok
so the norco mixed with coffee
was a total accident
dr gave me penicillin and norcos for my ailing tooth
it's basically exposed and needs to be protected
the coffee was to jolt the morn
different jolt than I expected
time to work and write and work and write - it's what I do
It's what makes this page what it is

had to rest with no sound
minimal lighting and warmth were also welcome
the spinning/swaying has ended and
now lunch is severely desired

1 wasn't an option for me
2 was for bankruptcy
3 was probably for you
4 was Carolyn who was right on the button

my full cup of coffee mocks me
knowing my heart and mind can't take the jolt
for meat and potatoes I would bolt
the stacks of work say no

baja fish tacos was a delight
a lunch with friends always makes the day right
didn't purposely rhyme there
it just happened

my thoughts stream constantly to my dear Elle
and all that she WILL become
it leads me into a blur of hope and happiness
leaving my desires in the back seat
where they belong

i'm leaving soon which is amazing news
not because what I was doing here is not enjoyable
but simply due to
Elle withdrawals

on my way
like Ben Kweller

is it mine?

2010-02-11T10:08:00.000-08:00

playing this game of staying centered

is not as easy as it appears

water designed to flow as rivers

simply disappears

my call is monitored

for security purposes

do you ever look down and wonder

who's shirt this is?

Technically I was back on Friday

but the waves of work washed me ashore

left me high and dry on the land

with no possibilty of breaking away

from the grip and grind of the wet sand

today was equally as bad

yet being off yesterday created a shield

that enabled me to deflect the mountain

of files that loomed before me

runoff must've affected my files

as they spilled onto my chair and side desk as well

if it all wasn't for Ms. Danger and Mrs. Jazz

it all wouldn't happen

you dig?

how could you NOT climb a mountain of endless work

when you get to come home to this?

anxiety melts away with her touch

her cry doesn't shrill ... it seemingly giggles its way out

she is me and I am her

which is why I'm constantly telling her

'Don't Judge Me!'

I kid

My life is entirely different yet uncapable of placing

into words

In action, it is on full display

but typically with little 'action'

More often caught in a gaze...a stare...a glance...a trance

no words necesarry

which is fitting why none can describe

'i'm starting to hate these lenders'

'they have no clue of what's going on'

'we have four pages of notes...yet they have none. guess who's right?'

frustration builds in my neighbor and I understand it

Looking to find accountability in people who can't spell

the word that he's searching for in them

frustration would be the only logical answer to that equation

long conversations keeping me from my charbroiled chicken burger

it grows colder as i grow hotter

all I want to do is bite into this juicy bad boy

i did

but still not off the damn phone

it's delicious yet rushed

as the questions flow just like my flavor and taste buds

now I careless as I chew openly over the phone

it ends and I chew like a giraffe with a mouthful of leaves

completely satisfied

how great was this?!?

thank you Mr Williams

some people have no sense of 'sense-making' notes

they apparently feel that no one else needs to understand

what they once understood...ridiculous

look up and it's 5:05pm

that's a trip when you figured it was closer to 4pm

ah well

much much closer to being with Danger

this day took too long

goodbye Mods ... hello Danger

2010-01-29T10:24:00.001-08:00

started my morning with some bg

sprinkled in a tad of ag

and culminated with the chair rushing into my office door

pulling the yellow stained shirt off my back

looking me dead in the eye

and telling me that my problems are weak

my visions equally blurred

but our hearts

our hearts

eerily

the

same

thank you

just postponed a sale date on a home nearing foreclosure

that feels good

I technically didn't do anything except make a phone call

that feels good

to make a phone call and get the results you desire

"all hands on deck now...the sea is getting rough again"

'service not available' reads my phone

not cool

at all

here i wait

bejeweled is even making me anxious

because i usually engage while on

the phone

but my phone

reads

'service not available'

not cool

still

...

"time to throw the Wu sign, throw both of yall hands up"

transferring data to my phone is causing my computer

a bit of a monitor-ache

while our phones have been down now for three hours

i calmly lose my cool

dropped four pounds at the pool

my phone still refuses to work

what a inanimate mechanical jerk

right?

i do for you cheap

cheap cheap

goodnight

one crucial organization of documents and faxing of them down
tons to go

the Melbourne city centre area is 20,000 population
with no private cars
my eventual home
based on visual stimulation alone
that's how I roll

i'm caught between a power struggle
and it's horrible
it made me ball up my fists
I also desperately need to eat
missing out on my traditional pb & j that I typically consume
in the AM

my physical for my life insurance is Saturday

do you see how this jerks

back and forth

to and fro

do you see my spirit grow

anyway you have it

it's going to form a habit

...

my 9am work started at 330pm yesterday

our computer system was to be down at 530pm

hmmm

how do you think my workday went yesterday?

tremendous? fabulous?

mindbending with a minor crack here and there

def

there will typically be a strong reason I don't end up here

that was it

'here's the ticket, what's the problem?'

'too many tickets is the problem man'

'here's the ticket, what's the problem?'

'too many problems is the ticket in my hand'

love it

back from lunch

tasty tasty del with Jones

good to see him

on his day off

...

I had 8 points, 16 rebounds, and 2 blocks

in our season opener this past Sunday

my stat line on

www.superstarbasketball.org

nil across the board

disheartening to see they errored in the area of displaying my stat line

ah well

at least we got the W

not quite as bad as my senior year in high school

having my picture left out with only the words

'not available'

typed in a sad gray square

....

time to talk to John

my porcelain friend who never judges me

once again

another non official video

but I think I'm more shocked that

Weezer

and

LiL Wayne have teamed up

rather than the actual sound/lyrics/quality of the song itself

then filling out this financial information sheet is

laughter is always nice to hear

even 'ugly laughter'

shin and song is apparently 'too easy'

for the representative on the other end

he is really really

trippin me

out

the ssn's don't match

figures

'let me take a peak, because I see something different'

what on earth could he see?

he returns as if nothing

absolutely nothing has happened

a guy just left

his drive home is an hour

and forty five minutes

bless his heart

I'll leave here in an hour

and

still beat him to our respective destinations

i'm still

trying to figure out the point of this

just found out I'm starting for my basketball team

nice

I was the 6th man last year as I recovered from injury

starting this later than desired

yet

it is started

the last thing in my head last night

for some reason

she was like

'are you singing bone thugs n harmony?'

yes

yes I was

....

the rain comes in bunches

it hasn't stayed for much more than 3 hours at a time

what a crime

the smokers seem to find this quite convenient

each time the rain fades

I watch them flock to the exits

to suck some stick

....

french roast coffee

is most easily dripped from a Keurig machine

drawback is

I can't control the strength

similar to my everyday crime fighting life

I'd like to drink Horchata

in the summer

with Vampire Weekend

lunch on Wednesday with Prado

Osvaldo is a champion of a name

my stomach just sounded like Harry's

from Dumb & Dumber

not good

at all

...

as I walked back to my desk

I was instructed to watch this

thank you Jo

his MJ lean at 2:05 is worth it all in itself

...

took a walk around the building

the air after a downpour is the freshest we get

here in so cal

it's cal...so?!

my day has been just that

a day that has now turned to night

this night

I will strive for adventure and peace

this night

I will realize what need be realized

whatever it may be

goodnight my friends

oh yes

i find no time throughout my day

to post

to blog

to write

to type

At the beginning of certain days I will start a bLOG

and

as the day goes by

I will try

to drop in with my two cents and possibly a dollar bill

Not too many hot cocoa's mixed with water are tasty

the one at my lips

however

is divine

frustration rises when my clients phone number is disconnected

it further flies when a business contacts website is down

zoning unintentionally

mixed healthfully with Bumbo viewing on Youtube

this computer is really pushing my buttons

and not the 'on' one

why won't this video embed?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BtdKa4ybTQ&feature=related

there are no spaces showing between my work

I can't just write

this is work

'i have many baby breeding machine friends'

is the quote of the day

which is quite fitting

as this work day

comes

to an

end

I like this idea because it keeps me fresh

although I feel a little stale

will this downpour of rain

turn to hail?

the xb and me

will bail

VW is back!

My friends at ESPN send me wonderful updates via text message.
The updates include injury updates, breaking news, etc.

This morning I was informed that Jim Sorgi was put on the IR by the Indianapolis Colts.
Unfortunate for Mr. Sorgi. I send my regards to him.
His playing time just went from non existent to impossible.
Could be tough on the ego.

The update from ESPN was not complete.
They also informed me that rookie QB Curtis Painter is now the backup.
Boom! That was the bombshell!

I pictured the conversation going a little like this...

Coach: Curt, you're the backup now.
Painter: For what position coach? I've been running water all season.
C: For QB for goodness sake! You act as if you had no reason to pay attention based solely on the fact that you were Peyton Manning's second backup.
P: Coach...Coach! I've got this.

Thank You Bg

For reminding me that laughing to tears is great

however

Laughing until I fall out of my chair

is greater

Each and Everytime

2009-12-02T23:08:00.000-08:00

this makes me cry

but as we all know

tears certainly aren't always bad

enjoy

Dear Liskula Cohen

Good Afternoon Liskula!

I hope this blog finds you well and having a wonderful day! As I was reading through the Wall Street Journal yesterday, I became aware of some feisty little actions you were up to.

The Journal quotes - "Earlier this year, a Vogue magazine model Liskula Cohen sued Google to unmask the name of a person who called her a 'skank' on a blog hosted by company's blogging platform, Blogger. The culprit - an acquaintance of the model - seemed stunned that her anonymity wasn't protected. The judge ordered Google to give Ms. Cohen the name of the blogger or information leading to the name"

Hmmm...

That filled my head with all sorts of ideas. They all eventually met and materialized into this blog/letter to Ms. Cohen asking her to go to similar great lengths to reveal great things said about her.

Keep in mind I know nothing about her/you(in case somehow she is reading this lowly rag)

Yet....I wouldn't mind a little press.

I wouldn't mind a little article in the Wall Street Journal stating Liskula Cohen pursued Google to find out who on earth would speak such amazing things about her.

Also, I'm using the name Liskula Cohen as many times as humanly possible in this article so that Liskula Cohen herself just might read this.

Liskula Cohen, you are an amazing woman!

Liskula Cohen, you are a charm!

Liskula Cohen, if I met the skank who referred to you as a 'skank' I'd call her a skank! Word is born Ms. Cohen.

Liskula Cohen, if all the water on earth dried up. Your nails could be melted down and would miraculously quench millions of thirsty mouths. Yes, that is true.

So, Ms. Cohen, pursue Google to find all these wonderful things written about you and then if you don't mind...become a follower of my journal.

Good lookin' out Ms. Liskula Cohen!

Oh, and if all of these compliments don't get it done, I'm posting a classy photo of you.

Where Are the Announcers?

2009-11-21T20:10:00.000-08:00

'Where is Ralph Lawler and Michael Smith?' I asked myself as I tuned into view the Clippers vs. the Denver Nuggets this past Friday.

No Lawler's Law??

No BANG!!

Why??

Well...If I had been tuned into garbage time the previous game, I would've known.

Mind you, it was a Grizzlies v. Clippers game, but nonetheless, I would've known.

Ralph, the 71 year old legendary announcer, along with his sidekick Michael were...suspended for the game versus the Nuggets!!!

Why you may ask??

Well, there are many things you don't want to say on television.

They said a few.

Their convo to follow.

Smith: "Look who's in."

Lawler: "Hamed Haddadi. Where's he from?"

Smith: "He's the first Iranian to play in the NBA." (Smith pronounced Iranian as "Eye-ranian," a pronunciation that offended the viewer who complained.)

Lawler: "There aren't any Iranian players in the NBA," repeating Smith's mispronunciation.

Smith: "He's the only one."

Lawler: "He's from Iran?"

Smith: "I guess so."

Lawler: "That Iran?"

Smith: "Yes."

Lawler: "The real Iran?"

Smith: "Yes."

Lawler: "Wow. Haddadi that's H-A-D-D-A-D-I."

Smith: "You're sure it's not Borat's older brother?"

Smith: "If they ever make a movie about Haddadi, I'm going to get Sacha Baron Cohen to play the part."

Lawler: "Here's Haddadi. Nice little back-door pass. I guess those Iranians can pass the ball."

Smith: "Especially the post players.

Lawler: "I don't know about their guards."

I do know 'their guards' carry rifles Ralph.

I am the furthest thing from a supporter of McDonalds
In fact, as of August 12, 2009 2:42pm I have officially boycotted them

No, I'm not out with banners and signs in front of the golden arches
Neither am I searching for ways to destroy all McDonalds in one quick strike

However, I DO badmouth them every single chance I get
I DO encourage those around me to choose alternate eating locations
I DO not donate to the Ronald McDonald Help A Child Foundation
I'm sorry

Being the speaker of neigh that I am
You would think I went to great lengths to search this video out
However, I did not
This one was passed down to me from the original Orijanel

i WISH i knew this man
i purposefully am lower casing my i's when i refer to myself
because i am not worthy to be an I
in the presence
of Mr. James Allen
who once said

"A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself."

read 'As A Man Thinketh' to get fully involved

he suggests you should as well

I Want to Blog All Over You

2009-11-16T12:04:00.000-08:00

Good Afternoon Readers/Bloggers/Loch Ness Monsters

I hope this blog finds you well, healthy, and well rested.

I hope I find you happily stirring in your personal space.

My weekend was one of happiness over ice, with a brim of sugar and a lime wedge.

Family, friends, and Jack Shrimp with a hint of Arthurs Okie breakfast is all a 9,498 day old guy can ask for.

Top it off with a outing to Red Robin and my gut and my heart have burst (nearly literally, quite figuratively)

In the midst of my gluttony, I thought of hiding my face.

And then, I thought better of it.

Peeking out and welcoming you to the Orijanel Journal

Heavy focus on music, arts, writing, family, friends, and most notably....YouTube videos you careless to watch!

Thank you for taking time from your day to rant, rave, read, and relax with me.
