Stoned Buddha

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon and the chips.
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without their Mexican Poncho.
An Arizona Iced Tea fills drop by drop. 
I was born into the world as the king of napping for the salvation of the world or maybe less depending on how I am feeling at the moment.
To live a pure, unselfish life, one must count nothing except their wool beanie as one's own in the midst of abundance. 
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without pie. 
The mind is everything. What you think you become paranoid.
We ourselves must walk the path to the spot.
Be kind to all creatures; this is the true religion. Especially cats because they are just so playful. And wear True Religion jeans, too. 
Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket.*checking pockets* Ah dang, I lost the key do you know where it is? Do we have a spare?
If you light a bowl for somebody, it will also brighten your path. 
You only lose what you cling to. I shouldn't have clung to the key to my happiness. 
I never see what has been smoked, I only see what remains to be smoked. 
Give, even if you only have a little nug.

Bubbles pt. 2

     The chicken wings continued to soar through the air, tiny, savory projectiles. Bubbles looked around Pinsiders as they remained airborne for what seemed like an eternity. How could these delicious wings be so buoyant, as aerodynamic as Michael Jordan in his college days? What kind of insane scientific properties were at work here? Was it voodoo witchcraft? Bubbles saw Voodoo Witchcraft perform a secret concert at The El Rey last Arbor Day and it was fantastic. Are these ascending chicken wings the result of the sweet, lo-fi melodies of this California punk band?

     As the chicken wings began their descent back to earth, Bubbles thought about his path to becoming Bubbles. He was born Malcolm Pittman on April 7, 1980 in Saratoga Springs, New York to Steve and Cindy. Winters were spent hitting the countless ski slopes encompassing the town with his two older brothers, Ryan and Ross, and younger sister, Rachel. These were some of the warmest and coldest days of Malcolm’s adolescence, warm with love and cold with snow. He often reflects on these wayward times as being the root for his love of clowning. One memory stands out amongst the rest. He was inner tubing with his brothers and sister when it happened. An elderly man with his grandchildren was about to push them down the slope in their tube and send them off on a wild ride. Before the man could give them a shove, Ryan and Ross body checked him onto the vehicle and sent them down the slope. Hilariously, all three, the old man and his two grandchildren, tumbled down the mountain on their inner tube. In retrospect, it was probably not the nicest thing for Ryan and Ross to do to this old man but everyone found it thoroughly sidesplitting in the moment. It was in that instance that Malcolm’s love of clowning, on others and in practice, was incepted and the seed of Bubbles was planted.

Jogging

The jogger does not think, they only move. Their mind does not waver, it stays true to its course. The tree in the distance. The mailbox down the road. That dog licking itself. These are the jogger's landmarks. They plot their course of attack. The jogger bides their time. They do not hurry down the road. They do not rush through life. They take life slow. Their steps pitter-patter against the ground like raindrops on a barn. They are a lion, cheetah and shark, all wrapped into one singular individual. They are human. We are all human. We jog through life, we do not run. Take it slow, do not blink. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. We haven't a moment to waste. Who sprints a marathon? That would be impressive. Savior every moment, though. Life is precious. Treasure jogging. A treasure would be a good place to jog to, too. A big, ol' chest of gold coins and scepters. You could use a scepter to assist you in jogging through trails in a forest as you wear that nice crown. Anyway, jogging is important.

ABCs of Hollywood: Drama

A genre of film and TV. Also a fake version exists in Hollywood and social media. Drama can also be deliberate such as on reality TV shows like Jersey Shore. Drama Queen is generally a derogatory term. Drama King is not an often used term although LeBron could be called one. People often stir up drama on purpose to make things more interesting in their life but this may cause unnecessary stress and wasting of time for their loved ones. Drama can be good or bad, depending on the situation. Good Will Hunting is a good drama while the Kardashians may be construed as negative drama. Fake drama may be utilized to drum up attention or bring the spotlight to oneself.
