When we get up everyday and face the world we have a powerful challenge in front of us and its called life, we can either bring our most desperate cynicism with us or we can bring our highest hopes. One frame of mind will move us forward while the other will not. Attitude matters, positivity matters because who ever attained anything meaningful by thinking the worst about a given situation? We have the power to move worlds simply by believing that they can be moved, and we have the ingenuity to follow through to make such bold dreams a reality. If we can do that then we can heal broken hearts and rekindle extinguished dreams.

Yes we can GrassCity, yes we will...

Stay forever green.

"There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. That little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative."

[Transformer sound effects - in again walks AK Infinity...]

I was trying to fit in my evening routine, one awkward pant leg at a time and all the time I'm just stumbling to stand up. Towards evening sometimes I like to flow into the shower, turn up the heat and humidity for dreams sake. Did I say that I smoked two bowls before that? Did I forget to mention the green? Did I forget to say I'm easily paralyzed by impossible dreams? [He exhales again, but this time a lot heavier.] The water was falling over my shoulders and life hit me with a certain reality. I'm not talking about that dreamless shit, the kind spun by logical logitions, the high and tight kind, the kind that set their clocks before bedtime and wake up when they go ring-a-ringing.

Listen...

I ain't talkin bout dem kind. I ah's talkin bout da kine dat smell so sweet and issss. I realize that our equilibrium is chaotic, and life to a certain degree is all about acceptance. We get that we came outta nothing but can we go back to it so tamely?

The thought of my mortality was awash. Is there a second where life is not precious? Is there a minute that didn't mean absolutely everything? Yeah. Do you feel me? I was fiercely questioning the meaning of all thisssssss stuff. It was aglow but foolishly so. I kept coming back to the fact that I was good, high, and wet. Isn't that all that matters now, the moment?

Yo Shalom Salaam... Good call on the bump man I've got the positive vibrations going on.

Sometimes we just have to remember to think about things before we blow up about them. If you're considerate in your actions it will come back to you in some way or another. Put yourself in others shoes because that just makes the world go a little bit smoother sometimes.

Be not selfish in your doings
Pass it on (oh children) pass it on
Help your brothers in their needs
Pass it on

What I Want for You — and Every Child in America

Dear Malia and Sasha,

I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have. But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart. I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.

I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential-schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them. I want them to have the chance to go to college-even if their parents aren't rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity.

I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer. And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other.

Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country-but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe. And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free-that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility.

That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something.

She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better-and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.

I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had. Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much-although you do have that obligation. But because you have an obligation to yourself. Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential.

These are the things I want for you-to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.

I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House.

Love, Dad

I just ate a big breakfast and then some Maryland cookies, chilling with my cat next to me listening to some Scarlet Begonias by Sublime, it's a good morning for me and all of you should have one too! much love GC.

I'm chilling in my crib right now faded into the fantastic. Just short of psychedelic and shady shit like blue pills and little pink bitches, but in spite of the daze I started thinking about how lucky we are to be alive. To own this moment in time with each other, we have been afforded the unexpected gift of awe. Are there words in any language that could come close to describing being alive? We all have set backs, lonely times and misery but is there anything that can truly compare with a simple breath? We live in a vast sea of stars blades and in-between each atom is a possibility neatly tucked away.

This is life, this is us.

Wow. The way you wrote that blew me away. I can really appreciate this, your writing style, it is very easy to dive into and follow, my eyes were locked and I could barely believe you wrote this. Are you Mark Twain's reincarnation or something? Do you know how much I appreciate this, I could drape tapestries of your verse all about my room and glance upon it for hours. I think you really should write me a poem or something, this is beautiful and it needs to be shared.

(there is no smiley face with a tear coming from it, so I guess I cannot express my feelings at this moment.) ....Beautiful....
