like your wheels are spinning
like youre in traffic that aint moving
like youre trying to get your robe on but you cant find the sleeve hole
like youre digging and digging but
like youre searching and searching and
like youre dialing and
why am i dialing?
is this a dream? didnt we outlaw dreams?
like youre burying and burying
like youre swimming and
treading water
and splashing
and looking
and doggy paddling
and floating
and floating
and
float

took the cats in yesterday to get their annual check up and the lady said
these are the most behaved cats ive seen in here in a long time.
which is true, they’re good animals and ive taught them to be chill.
we have this little ESP that they clearly learned from the xbi
and im in the same wave length
today i was over by the beach getting ready to drive a whole lotta
4th of July Uber and Lyft rides when i got a message
yo, you should come back home
even though Prince and Michael can deal with rectal exams and weird offices
the booming of the fireworks in Hollywood apparently made them
uneasy.
as i drove through LA fireworks blossomed to the left and the right of me
like a coronation
it made me a little emotional because i love this city so much
and the weather was perfect and seriously every block there were little groups of people
just launching surface to air missiles with beautiful results.
for my entire half hour drive
boom boom ahhhhhhh
got home and the cats first pretended like it was all nbd
but soon they were both in my room,
high up by the tvs
and alert.
the day all the good little boys and girls get to flee from their tyrannical countries
which are unsafe, underserved, and riddled with dirty air water and old men.
bring me your bags of cash the statue says
which oil company do you work for asks the survey
charlie cant read, but his driver can and fills out the paperwork
gets his hand stamped,
tips the doorman
and voila: americano.
when you run the country like a business
your closets become stuffed with receipts.
im not sure if youve noticed but i am a devout follower of Jesus Christ.
we can hem and haw about some of the so-called rules in the bible, but it’s hard to call bullshit on something that was literally
written in stone.
and Take A Damn Day Off Once A Week
is written in stone right along with dont fucking murder any one and dont steal anyones shit.
you know, the list of no-brainers.
whats beautiful about why God tells us to take a day off every week is because
HE took a day off and when he looked back at it
it dawned on him that it was so good that everyone should take it off.
basically: sure you could work every day, but it is better if you don’t, and because you are probably like me and wont remember to take a day off, im gonna write it down for both of us so that we both remember
do not work every day.
indeed, on your day off, try to do as nothing as you can.
just chill til the next episode.
whats interesting is even at the xbi my bosses eventually stopped asking me to do things on weekends because i would start to get a little aggro if i wasn’t given the space to just
super unplug for two days straight.
like nothing having to do with work. no gameplans. no screenshots. no motivations.
nothing.
no xbi nothing.
and then monday id come in there hot as a rocket.
im old enough to remember the Tony Express.
back in olden times people tried to ride their horse from St Louis to Californee but about 1/3 of the way there, their horse would just sit down
and never get up.
the indians would be all, bro you have to give them rest. and water. and then rest.
but the cowboys would be like, but we have somewhere we gotta be.
so the smart people said, step right up, step right up, have we got something for you
it’s called the Tony Express
we’ve got horses, rested and watered horses, every hundred miles. you get on one, ride it fast and hard 100 miles, get off, and hop on a new happy one who’s had its two days of rest.
and it will run like youve never seen run ‘afore.
and then you get on the next-un and so on till youre in the Golden State faster’n youd ever believed.
then a giant conglomerate bought a bunch of horses too, called it the Pony Express
and history forgot about the inventor of it all
everyone, that is,
except the xbi.
