X’s in My Soul

This one goes out to Generation X, the wandering nomads who ask for no respect, get no credit and offer no blame. It's how we were raised.

Handshake

Under the following conditions you go first <p>And you are the one</p><p>And the only</p><p>But only under the following conditions:</p><p> </p><p>Clean the dirty water </p><p>Play music</p><p>Maybe even join a band</p><p>Or better yet become one.  </p><p> </p><p>And never forget that your country spent</p><p>A great deal of time and money </p><p>Raising you.  </p><p> </p>

The Snippets Introduce Joshua

<p>Some raging crazy kid: Excuse me sir. Could I please have a cigarette from you? <br />Me: Sure. A cigarette, a beer, a mineral water, my television. Anything that will calm you the fuck down. <br /><br />Me: Can I ask you a personal question?<br />Crazy Kid: Sure. <br />Me: What's your name?<br />Kid: Josh. <br /><br />Me: I can't believe you called the cops.

Thanks Fucker

<p>Today I play on my own</p><p>In the sunshine</p><p>Me and my smart-phone.  </p><p> </p><p>Today I will win the future.  </p><p>And lose your ass.  </p><p> </p><p>We make and we take</p><p>And you shut up. </p><p> </p><p>The thunder of the natural wonder is on point, Tip. </p><p> </p><p>And you shut up.  </p><p> </p><p>And thanks.  </p>

The Decider

  <p>The patient hand</p><p>The violent fist</p><p>The green thumb</p><p>The loving smack to the head</p><p>Are all one</p><p>And the same.</p><p> </p><p>At times the warrior is a child.  </p><p>At times the genius cannot drive.   </p><p>They take from us and make us</p><p>What they need</p><p>To stay alive.  </p><p> </p><p>But that's too fucking bad.  </p>

The Grow Goal

Grow.  <p>No one is unassisted.  </p><p>Goal!</p><p> </p><p>There is no end of the day.  </p><p>Just morning.  </p><p>The new system will work.  </p><p> </p><p>It has to.  </p><p> </p><p>The right people will run it.  </p><p>The best people will work it.  </p><p> </p><p>Don't worry Mom.  </p><p>I won't get so much as a scratch.  </p>

Happy Birthday, Littless

<p>Families are all different. And that doesn't change just because two people decide to get married. For example, my mother is one of seven children. My father is an only child. Clearly, their parents had different definitions of what a family should be (or at least how big it should be).</p>

Picking the Last Playoff Games

<p>Welcome to the last installment of Picking Them Games. Next week: there is no football of any kind so I'm probably gonna need another hobby. And apparently, hanging out in bookstores and hitting on chicks with glasses does not constitute a hobby (who knew?).  For the record, I am 4-4 against the spread these fine playoffs. Much like Pete Carroll though, I cannot win on Sunday. I was 4-0 fo

Picking Them Games in a Dirty Apartment

I had a great date last night.  And the female who helped provide said date has come to the conclusion that she needs to come over and clean my place.  Now, she's done more than enough for me and that's not necessary and all that but it's nevertheless appreciated.  And, lucky you, it reminds me of something Wesley Snipes said in a movie once: <p>"The generosity of women never ceases to ama
