I am i’m just curious what a 42 year old man is doing running for governor of Ohio I wasn’t around to question 43 year old barrack Obama running for president but what’s up with youth and politics I could run for Ohio house of representatives seat for district 56 up against Adam Mathews like I could do that but that would take away from my personal studies in finance building and ideology construction … look at Mike dewine you have mayor’s city council State Representatives judges and school boards why would you engender yourself with the governor at 42 years old why would you think you could do that I definitely think government is the playground of the elderly of the old of the infirmed of the aged of the wise I think as life spans are elongating youth has no real role in government at major swath positions that oversee a general leadership the wisdom of an elderly man is no match for the might of the youth the strength of Vivek ramaswamy that he showcases blatantly on a regular basis has not merit in governing a state which is done a quiet thing we could be making a large mistake voting for Vivek ramaswamy and not Amy Acton for Amy Acton has the better website she quietly makes the right decisions and is an Ohio educated leader Amy is all Ohio she’s not dirty Ohio education made up of Ohio and the east coast Vivek is a chimera of educated sorts saint Xavier Harvard and Yale that’s a great education for harvard and Yale places that are aware of Harvard and Yale performance but all we know is the reputation of Harvard and Yale and currently that reputation is playing it self out beautifully in that Vivek wants to oversee the improvement of Ohio schools to the best in the nation he wants the most competitive students and Amy Acton just wants better schools I think we should go with better schools than the best schools it’s less of a snow job

or maybe if it was high school graduate school i had that thought once that there’s a high school graduate school it’s where you go to night class at your old high school for one more year and it’s about the extra things they didn’t have time to teach you in class like personal finances and home economics

if the internet was shared in high school you’d be banking on getting different results because you used different inputs like this technique is only to be used if you want different results than what you’re getting now emphasis on especially if you don’t care what the new results are just so long at the kids make through a day at school without asking any questions since it would be all they know

a really progressive school would have facebook one bell and then youtube another bell and wordpress a third bell and at a point where it’s 3 websites a day and i don’t know how to teach facebook other than to discuss my wall as it comes up but you could have spotify class for music a seasoned teacher could dj the entire time i’m doing youtube if we stretched we could do reddit for a class and this is some woodstock shit right here this is the revolution at play

so if a day was wordpress facebook youtube spotify and reddit and the classes were 1 hour and 15 minutes each and the rest of the time was study hall if you did this for 4 years you’d have some original thought that’s grounded in classic study techniques like the kids would be casually original this is the opposite the teaching technique of the last 8 centuries it’s all randomness basically but structured so the kids can handle it and they might never get a job but they might be into start ups

HARD WORK?!
rely on your own hard work? that’s not this time period … the computer is too real … you can work with your hands in a restaurant or you can work with a computer in an office or you can go to school or you can get social security and if you get social security you’re not only poor but you’re poor and you have to figure out what to do with all your time and the only reason it’s a valid option is because we the internet now and it’s not too hard to type out of a missive to stave away the time glut … i have so much time on my hands i just take it all out on the internet in the hopes that something positive happens but if people responded to email you could say that hard work is a major tool in getting ahead i put a lot of hard work into writing emails that never get answered and it’s impossible for me to get ahead i have $0 so i’m on the receiving end of any deal and they can smell it and i’m sour grapes to them anyone i do business with has to pay me that’s the only way it works and it doesn’t matter what my service is because everyone knows i need money and i’m not an official LLC or C CORP or S CORP or 501c3 i’m a sole proprietorship and no one wants to deal with me so before margaret thatcher talks all high and mighty about how hard work is the ticket to a good living i put in work like this everyday five different times just to try to crack the code of email to get something started and i haven’t done anything but fail yet and all i do is put in hard work

BIG BUDGET FILM
that’s not a bad set the fast food restaurant with the head scanning chairs where the kids playground usually goes and you can stop in an have a burger and live a life and go home … not a bad set for a film … i might be a local no one so i signed on to be a university graduate and that didn’t change my local no one status at the fast food restaurant that over sees the games
like a computer laboratory at a fast food restaurant is what that inspired … if McDonalds or Taco Bell was in charge of a local computer laboratory if you didn’t have a dining room if you had a computer laboratory that ran software like Cinema 4D and Microsoft Word and you could get a Moutain Dew and 4 Chalupas and 2 Hours of Credit on the Machine for like $22 and we could take a 3rd place and make it a community spot Taco Bell is already a 3rd Place it’s not Work and it’s not Home but you got no reason to spend time there until you install the Computer Laboratory in the Fast Food Restaurant that’s the set for the big budget film if i was going to do a big budget film we would retro fit a taco bell to be outfitted with a computer laboratory an the menu would reflect a couple changes like COST PER HOUR OF CREATIVE STATION and COST PER HOUR OF ADMINISTRATIVE STATION the CREATIVE STATION WOULD COST $5 MORE PER HOUR but we’d film CLERKS at a TACO BELL with a COMPUTER LABORATORY IN THE RESTAURANT and jack has a pre rolled so it’s on an poppin

Education
it’s more rockefeller than gatto in this one would we prefer our youth to run rampant for 12 years dodging all forms of education to present to the world adults with no formal training at all? would that be preferable? how long have their been schools? as long as civilization has existed? is the school the first sign of a civilization? at a point where a civilization knows to exist into perpetuity it must pass it’s ways on to the youth a school is not a new thing it’s not an invention it’s an organization of the will powers of men to discern a higher functioning society … school is there to educate the youth and teach them the basics for how to educate themselves the ones that go on to educate themselves become rulers and the ones that eschew the knowledge of school go on to be slaves … there’s going to be some slaves

Letter to Facebook
I keep thinking about what facebook would be if mark had 2 more years of college in him and i think with the minimalism studies they would have presented to him it would have been something like you Register you Log In You Write Something You Hit Save and Now you have a website … that’s CMS territory that has nothing to do with index.html territory where i am comfortable but that’s a slick CMS REGISTER LOG IN TYPE SAVE SITE that’s pretty slick i even imagine the GUI is a text editor gui that saves true to form in real form as you save it … like it’s an IDE that’s What You See is What You Get the most basic WYSIWYG editor like explore the depths of WYSIWYG editors and you could have a Senior Year Thesis at Harvard under your belt with all the websites that have been built one of them has to be your senior thesis in web design i think it’s the WYSIWYG because Facebook is like a dirty version of one it sort of is but not really like you got locked into a train of thought and couldn’t offload it

state of writing
now i want to be your lover lauren … hit me back and we can take this to a google doc where we can work on some writing together … that’s what i offer in digital relationship … a good writing partner … i’ll have to get about 5 pages fleshed out so there’s something to work with an i’m doing my part as the good writing partner … the bad writing partner would get this far and just offer to meet you in the google doc without doing any lead writing … just say the word and we can get a literary relationship started … i got stuck writing i could have been a painter but i’m baring the slings and arrows of this online … for the sake of the internet … you realize before this internet all i had to do was type up 150 sheets of paper of relative perfection and mail it off … i have to pen an encyclopdedia by myself get mocked by women and then turn around and have to try to sell my books to universities just to get a bulk order since the book store closed down … i need to know barnes and nobles sales department and they only work with trusted suppliers … this is ridiculous in the process i develop a fantastic rhetorical stream and the comedy continues everyday just to get paid to write and then the cincinnati magazin and cincy magazine ignore new writers and the enquirer and columbus dispatch the same …. they probably hook their boys up … starting something is the only thing i know how to do because then i can control the supply chain of my money

Music
I am Cincinnati’s Poet Until I Am No More.
I speak with my fingers on an alphabet
Im the only poet in the game that can win a bet
32 years strong not over yet
What else you want to see me do
Im a muffuckin graduate
With a univeristy behind my rep
11 years studying now bout time to collect my check
Just have to grab this mic and build my set
Build my gang and take this step
My alma matta saved me from death
Im a motherfucking college kid
Yall dont know shit about college kid
I come from a college town
Where most folks is college bound
And we be rocking that college sound
If you looking for work we can split this bread
Just give me a second to catch my breath
Oh my god what just happened to me
I guess this is what it sounds like
When you are finally free
When you finally decree
When you finally believe
That at any moment in your life
You can decide to just be
And find peace in the city of the big red machine
Where our business is clean
And we move slow because we peepin the scene
Ya gotta understand what I mean
When I say I am living in the city of Queens
Where its time we came out supreme
With a resoulution to make cream
And you wouldnt believe how much I believe
In the future of we becasue you dont know what I see
In the only city that ever meant anything to my chi
I wasnt raised on the streets so I perfectly perceive
What a city can be because I trained for this moment
And I know I can own it and show you how to transcend
And bring back the glory days of this city my friend
Funny thing about a city is that a city never ends
We just grow forever and take over the world
Oh my god what just happened to me
I guess this is what it sounds like
When you are finally free
When you finally decree
When you finally believe
That at any moment in your life
You can decide to just be
And this shit fucking actually happend to me
I been through shit you wouldnt believe
But no one ever defeated my belief
That I would get my degree
Yeah I come from UC
Where we bearcat proud
And if you an alumni let me hear you get bearcat loud
Becasue our city is now
We was lost but now we is finally found
Because you were so kind to me
I tried to walk away but you invited me back to speak
So I had to give it my all
And show you how this poet can ball
Because my poetry’s tall
And I know the power of a city that sleeps
And maybe this is our week
To wake up and be known
As more powerful than Dow Jones
Becasue all I need is to make you proud
Becasue you taught me how
When you gave me inspiration to study
You gave me the chance to write
Now all I have to say is
Cincinnati Ignite.
Lace up Kells.
See you at the Next Reds Indians game!CINCINNATI MOVIES! FILMED IN CINCINNATI!

Holodeck
Could I use WordPress and just write here. I’m paying for it. I can use the reader and master publishing on WordPress. Maybe browse Facebook but don’t do real writing there unless it’s called for. Maybe not maybe just work here. It’s something to have nothing to write and just press on that’s where the strategy comes in. Out thinking the nothing and still ending up human. Deserving to be human and out thinking the nothing. I could die and end up a fly. Just because I wanted to exist airborne for a spell. I hear you have to try to be human and some of these people don’t seem like they tried very hard. I wanted to write so it made me human all over again. A human playing the game such a thing. You already get to be human why would you be human in the game and the reason is to use the computer to use the game computer to work some things out be like using a desk top computer on the holodeck of the star ship enterprise it’s a hell of a computer.

What I Had to Say
I’m 45 and in denial about my mental illness. 25 years ago they diagnosed me as bipolar type one and I have since gone on to graduate from University write 8 books and smoke weed. I have Vitae Magazine Blog and it’s where I make my pitch for my 7 books I wrote and have published and that’s my accomplishment. That and the 400,000 points of contact with the internet in more than 20 year I wrote a robust Bible in the comment section of the internet and it’s all been volunteer work. I got better at writing is all I can say about writing online. Someone thought of a way to make money off hard working honest people and I know i’m their product I just don’t know any more interesting past time than using a computer it’s compact it sits in the homei it’s got a typing interface that is attached to an alphabet that I can master.
i wrote 8 books and one of them is about business plans. it’s the kind of book that’s designed to be inspiring like the book of money. it’s business moves you can make to get ahead it’s my accomplishment. my business move is selling books and I havent’ sold one of them yet and in fact I haven’t made the internet interesting enough to consider my work exciting. i’m a boring author that’ well behaved and on lithium. which makes me more well behaved. I used to be a stage poet in Cincinnati and that was an experience I did that for 15 years hitting stages every week to put on the weekly show of my couple poems I had a show poem for the open mic it was called SEARCHING FOR THE WORDS TO HEAL MY MIND and it was this whole piece coupled with LOVE IS SUCH A HARD WORD TO SPELLL those two poems got me through dozens of open mics when I wasn’t trying new material out.
I was a young monument standing for youth and full of energy i’m not like that now the lithium has me tired and my age has me calmed down an really i’m no good anymore. i’m 10 years of College and I know the answer and no one will answer my emails I know I make the pitch and they buy the book and that’s how I get paid but no one is letting me do it Facebook is an entertaining ghost town. the television news never writes back. it’s occurred to me to give up on my computer but the telepathy needs me to use it the 5 or 6 people that talk to me everyday with my own mouth my mother does not believe me its of no importance to anyone it’s cheating and my psychiatrist can’t think of what it might be there is no drug for this I need a psychologist but I have $0 most of the time and my payee handles my bills and getting a dentist is impossible with my insurance like here at $0 it’s hard to find anyone that will talk to you like a good reason to make money is to be popular

Mental Health View
my mental health picture that i can remember starts off in london england where upon smoking copious amount of hash one morning i leave my dorm room and walk naked after showing schizophrenic symptoms for a couple days blessing hallways and talking about world peace and i walk outside naked and the security gets me and they offer me jail or the mental health unit and i choose jail and they send me to mental health where i am for a month and a half before my dad comes and gets me and escorts me home so i scared the state department with that and it was the same mental health problem that i have now it’s just that now i edit it i sit on it i ignore it i play with it i laugh at it the same mental health issue i had in london i have now i just manage it better
and then in 2007 i get a ride to new years eve in new york city from man from craigslist i hitchhiked and the same voices that i heard in london i heard in new york city but it was hella more intense and i told a police officer most of these people were going to die and i needed to get to the canary islands with zoe kirk gushowaty my former girlfriend and he said i got you and took me to mental health at saint lukes where i was admitted for 3 months and scared my parents because i was a missing person and two months later they called and i was found safe and my uncle brought me home
then in 2010 i took a walk to xenia because the forces of god worked on me again had me take random buses until i randomly got off and started randomly walking and i found a trail and i started taking it and it led to xenia and i walked to xenia over two days and was a missing person again and my mother came and got me and took me home
and then in 2016 i was dealing with god again and he needed me to leave my apartment and walk downtown where i was for a few days until i took a rest in a museum and the cops came and took me to mental health where i was for 3 months until i stayed in kemper house in walnut hills and then i tried to move in with a man in walnut hills but he turned violent so i turned myself into the homeless shelter and then i got in trouble there and had to go to the mental health for six months and then i was at montgomery house and then i was at my folks place and then i started taking lithium and haven’t had a problem in eight years since montgomery house and had an apartment and kept smoking weed and this last year is the first year i haven’t smoked weed in like 25 years and i’ve been alone in an apartment basically in solitary confinement and i’ve just worked but scary shit happened to me on the mental health front i was a missing person twice and i’m high risk with the mental health game what it is and i don’t know why such strange things happen to me i’ve lost all of my friends because those are three hospitalizations there were 10 others for various reasons like i was just heavily accosted and told to take medication i didn’t want to take and i eventually caved in and take the medication and all i can figure out is it’s for telepathy control the lithium helps control the telepathy that they won’t talk with me about no one is talking to me about telepathy and what it is or what it means or anything and i’m the one with the scurvy background that doesn’t make sense that my folks never abandoned me my dad never abandoned me i’m the one that never planned any of this shit it just happened because of god god did this to me god wrecked my mind so when you’re out there preaching the gospel of god just know god can do wicked things
