John Prine

a sleepless 3 days would be consuming had it not been for the few hours i napped in the early mornings of new days.
last night i visited a montanian theatre and watched a man who wrote songs for everyone that ever lived the country life. with a smile to big for his face and a heart in just the right place, he moved the crowed. bar room junkies and front porch loungers are his target audience and he entertains them with three chords and a head full of words.
im inspired by this man.

i'd like to roll right, to be everybodies laugh and to be completely enjoyed. to live in the sunshine and pour the clouds down the drain. it probably wont happen, but i will try to please everybody and in return perhaps will be pleased. being nice no better than being mean, they just recieve different results.
people are mirrors reflecting the every action of our existance, perhaps absorbing the things we do as well. whether one knows it or not, the bible is a self help book that has nothing to do with others, yet it affects all at the same time. it is your guide to make life easier. people can say that it is to improve the world and make it a better place, but the world isnt getting better. their will always be the bad and the good and the exitement and heartbreak. the way you treat others and percieve life will determine how your own is lived. most of the time people want nothing more than to be liked and respected. on occasion their is one to be loved, but that is a different matter completely.
perhaps you are a dick, and you think that it is to your own personal benifit because dicks get along well with others in high school, or at least seem to. however, if you are the jerk, no matter how nice people treat you in public, behind your back you are ridiculed and talked down on. i dont mean to judge anyone, and being an asshole is understandable. in high school you are rewarded with laughs and agreements for being mean. a person begins to feel that they are doing right if they are rewarded, therefor it the peoples fault for molding the asshole into what he/she is.
lifes a tightrope, and a thin one at that. one can stand around and complain and bitch about how terrible the world is and how they wish everyone would be nicer, but what really matters is how one acts out in the world. enjoy people and their quirks and wierdness, these people will always be around and you cannot make a perfect world, if you suggest that it is possible you are suggesting the same idea as hitler and judging all who oppose you.
