Robbed at the Pump { A Poem About Gas}

I Went to the Station,

To Fill Up My Tank.

When I Got To The Pump,

I Thought It Was A Prank!!

$8 for Regular,

$9 For Mid,

$10 for Premium,

I Almost Flipped My Lid!

I Screamed,  "To Hell with This!!"

and got back in my truck.

I Drove Down the Street,

In search of good luck.

I Found a New Station, But Again, Alas!

The Price was $12 Dollars, for the "Regular" Gas

I Thought I Was Dreaming, but I was Awake.

I Hoped and I prayed, This was a Mistake.

I Climbed back In my Ride,

Put My hands On The Wheel,

And I Headed up North,

To Find a Better Deal.

The More that I Drove, to My Surprise,

The More the Gas Prices Started To Rise

$12.50 at the Mobile!

$14.00 at the Shell!

"What's Going On Here?" I screamed

"You Can All go to Hell"!

$15.00 at Bp

$16.00 at Hess

$18.00 at Texaco

"Boy oh Boy, what a mess!"

$19.00 at Chevron,

At Exxon it was $20

I Just Couldn't believe,

Gas was so much money.

My Tank was On E,

But Onward I Trucked,

Determined to Find a Better Deal,

No Way I was getting Fucked!

The More That I drove, 

Prices kept getting Higher,

Until I Came to a stop,

My Tank Couldn't Have been Dryer.

I Got Out Of My Truck, Not Feeling well.

I Thought "No Way I'll Drive Again,

Oil Company's Can go to Hell!"

As I Walked.....I Got Hungry, and Stopped at Taco Bell.

$ .79 Cents for a Soft Taco, This sure is swell!

I Ordered 4 Soft Taco's, I made them all Supremes.

I Ordered 2 Burrito's, Stuffed with Rice and Beans.

I Ordered a Chalupa, Mexican Pizza and Some Chips.

Followed that with a Large Soda, and some salsa for the Dip.

I was So Hungry, I Scarfed it all Down!

I Had Gas for weeks!

Thank you Taco Bell!

You Have The Cheapest Gas Around!!

Artistic Photography

Recently, After Stumbling upon www.thecobrasnake.com I have become fascinated with photography as an art form. Up Until Now, I Haven't been the least bit savvy with a camera. In fact, I have barely taken any pictures at all in my 25 years of life. Billions of people all over the globe are using cameras to capture moments in time that can never be relived, or reenacted ever again. From this Moment forward, I intend to use my camera to it's fullest potential, and get my feet wet in the artistic world of Photography.

Here are some Artsy Picture's I took of my Dog, Magic.....

These Photos where Taken with an Olympus 7.1 Mega Pixel Model Fe-230 that more than likely ran me about $300.

Photography now has a special place in my heart. It is one of our greatest modern day art forms. Anyone with Imagination, Vision, and a Camera can be an artist and showcase the worlds beauty and splendor for all to behold. So If you have a camera that is sitting around and collecting dust like mine was, now is the time to take it out, turn it on and start snapping pictures.  

Haiku's

After ending up in a mind numbing 4 hour driving school course the other day, I decided I would pass my seemingly never ending time there by playing with my I-phone and writing Haiku's.

A Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that combines form, language, and content in a meaningful yet compact form. 

The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five syllables, the second line seven syllables, and the third line contains five syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three lines of poetry.

Here are the Haiku's I wrote  in traffic school

Sitting in a class

Prisoner of my mistake

Watching the clock spin

Colors of Winter

Define my clothing style

Florida is Hot

Opinions are ours

We can speak our minds freely

We cause Argument

Nutrition for mind

Food for thought, the food is fast

Mc Donald's everyday

Staring In a play

Singing, Dancing, and Acting

The theatre is life

A teacher can teach

A student may not listen

Knowledge can get lost

I Wrote those while I was sitting in class... here are some more that I'm coming up with now...

No One Reads this Blog

Away at the keys I type

My Talents Shall Grow

Early I Shall Sleep

Early Morning I Shall Rise

No Red Bull Needed

The Alarm Clock Rings

I Hit the Snooze Button hard

Back to my sweet dreams

No Girlfriend I have

No Girl-Friend I can Talk to

Oh Well, back to work

The cars that we drive

The Places that we travel

Waste alot of gas

My heart is a stone

Hardened by the girls I've met

These bitches aint shit

Haiku can be fun

It Brings Challenge to my mind

Im Writing it wrong!!!!

Crap....I just found out these poems need a theme to describe....ohh well, back to the drawing board!!

Okay, this is my attempt at a real haiku.

"Booty"

So Round and So Soft

A Man Just Cannot Resist,

A Woman's behind.

There you have it folk's, Haiku poems. If you find yourself bored, write some and share them on my blog!

Come on Down to Pooch Island It's fun for the Whole Family!!

Here are some of the Attractions you will find on the island

Pooch, The Visionary creator of Pooch Island, is a Self-Taught artist whose imagination, skill, and passion for his craft, continually enables him to paint masterpieces that collectively make up this demonic theme park, filled with bizarre carnival rides designed to reflect the false fronts of modern society. It is on his island that we can all embark on a visual journey through the strange and unusual and get lost in his world of diabolical splendor.

Aside from His illusional Theme Park, He Also owns Altered State, a Tattoo Parlor on the planet earth.  Check out Altered State Tattoo Shop Here! I was first made aware of his extraordinary tattoo skills when my boy Dj Murkem got his "ink done" by the local legend, Pooch.

As you can see, his attention to detail is unprecedented, and his tattoo's  usually stop onlookers dead in their tracks to gaze at one of his creations.

He is Usually booked 4- 6 months in advance for his tattoos and only works on pieces that challenge his creativity and that he is completely into. So if your interested in getting some "ink done" by this demented genius, hit him up soon!

In our everyday hustle n' bustle society, it is rare that we can escape into a world of fantasy and make believe. We Surround ourselves with the mundane and ordinary and get locked into a prison of routine. Every now and then we need a place where our imaginations can run free. Pooch's Island is the perfect place to get lost in the Surreal. His paintings are a vivid look into a world where both beauty and ugliness live harmoniously and a place where color and darkness coincide with a devilish flare.

Head Over to Pooch Island and Experience it for Yourself!
