Why?
I don't even know why I do this blog anymore. I get on here and never see any thing of worth. Ever. I feel like I'm wasting my time, like a piece of me dies with every line.
Jealousy
The Dash
I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone,
from the beginning…to the end.
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone,
from the beginning…to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.
that she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own,
the cars…the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.
the cars…the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.
So, think about this long and hard.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
that can still be rearranged.
Are there things you’d like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
that can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
to consider what’s true and real
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.
to consider what’s true and real
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we’ve never loved before.
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect
and more often wear a smile,
remembering that this special dash
might only last a little while.
and more often wear a smile,

So, when your eulogy is being read,
with your life’s actions to rehash…
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent YOUR dash?

I'm Tired
Last night out of the blue
Driftin' off to the evenin' news
She said "Honey, what would you do
"If you'd have never met me"
I just laughed, said "I don't know,
"But I could take a couple guesses though"
And then tried to dig real deep,
Said, "Darlin', honestly
"I'd do a lot more offshore fishin'
"Probably eat more drive-thru chicken
"Take a few strokes off my golf game
"If I'd a never known your name
"I'd still be drivin' that old green 'Nova
"I probably never would have heard of yoga
"Be a better football fan
"But if I was a single man
"Alone and out there on the loose
"I'd be lookin' for a woman like you"
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/lee_brice/a_woman_like_you.html ]
Well, I could tell that got her attention
So I said, "Oh yeah, I forgot to mention
"I wouldn't trade a single day
"For a hundred years the other way"
She just smiled and rolled her eyes
'Cause she's heard all of my lines
I said, "C'mon on girl, seriously
"If I hadn't been so lucky
"I'd be shootin' pool in my bachelor pad
"Playin' bass in my cover band
"Restockin' up cold Bud Light
"For poker every Tuesday night, yeah
"I'd have a dirtbike in the she'd
"And not one throw pillow on the bed
"I'd keep cash in a coffee can
"But if I was a single man
"Alone and out there on the loose
"I'd be looking for a woman like you"
She knows what a mess I'd be if I didn't have her here
But to be sure, I whispered in her ear
"You know I get sick deep-sea fishin'
"And you make the best fried chicken
"I got a hopeless golf game
"I love the sound of your name
"I might miss that old green 'Nova
"But I love watchin' you do yoga
"I'd take a gold band on my hand
"Over bein' a single man
"'Cause honestly, I don't know what I'd do
"If I'd never met a woman like you"

Conversation with a Freezer.
I want to live my life like a freezer.
I walked up to one the other day and admired the cool, white, General Electric body.
I asked him simply "What's up?"
"Oh, you know" he replied, "Just Chillin"

Privleged Insight
To Ms. Gardner,
Thanks for showing me life can get worse. I want to drop your class more than anything. Mother Theresa did not give you a baby.
To Blake Harmon,
Go to Hell
To the kid across the room in A1,
Math is not the place to cut your fingernails
To the kid in Creative Writing,
I dare you to be quiet for 30 seconds
To the front row seminary girl,
Is it impossible to be quiet for 30 seconds? Maybe you and Creative writing kid should hook up
To the girl I wish I talked to sooner,
I think you're gorgeous and I wish I could confess/proclaim my feelings for you, #afraid
To my first kiss,
Why did I kiss you? #Mistake
To my neighbors,
What the F do you feed your crazy children
To the kids who wanted to fight at a stake dance,
6 on 1 makes you tough huh? You're a dumb-ass!
To her,
Thanks for the wild ride. I love you
To my little brother,
Stop eating my Panda

2nd post, 2nd best
I can never think of anything to write for my second post. I feel like a bad writer because everyone always has these deep thoughts for their 2nd posts. Most of the time I just end up posting song lyrics and feel stupid because of it. Maybe one of these days I will think of something great to write and get quoted!! Oh who am i kidding. Looks like I'm just gonna post this and hop over to Facebook. If Paris is where creative people go to thrive, is Facebook where creative people go to die? Guess I will find out.
How to Kill a Dream
1) Don't have one in the first place
2) Fill your time with senseless things
3) Don't do what you love
4) Get on Facebook
5) Make shapes out of clouds
6) Wait #5 might have been creative so forget that one
7) Realize it's not a dream it's a wish
8) Forget about it
9) Feel inadequate
10) Forget the real you
11) Forget
12) Forget
13) Forget
14) Forget
15) Forget
16) Forget
17) Forget
18) Forget
19) ...
20) Wake up

Take my word for it
I don't know how to put pictures on here but my newspaper blackout was beast. Trust me.
Grand Theft Poetry
Pro Football is like nuclear warfare, there aren't any winners, only survivors
Oh how i wish my mother could hear him now
But Pop, she is in such a good mood! Don't do it.
She's almost to bright and aware for her own good
Tears sprang to her eyes, I had it wrong
I barked twice because,
In sports the benefits of strength and barking are barking are very clear,
I have a dream... that little black boys and girls can join hands but
If he heard that, he would salivate at the thought of helping them figure this out.
Why?
He is very angry with you and the Phoney Negro Sea Captain said,
We got you babe, enjoy captivity and long tall Sally.
She took a deep breath and realized
Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, like
"Goodbye Mother"
but,
Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.

Back When
I remember Pokemon, how the number of Cards you had was like a social status,
I remember putting water balloons on the trampoline and jumping around as if the balloons were little blood thirsty minions hungry for a little taste of Brick,
I remember my hair being covered in Sprite and how I thought it would never come out,
the first time I saw someone smoking and thinking they were evil,
I remember seeing my first bad grade and being scared to show my parents,
being afraid of going to get the mail because I lost sight of my house,
my baby brother being born,
getting my first ticket and being afraid to go home,
I remember not being able to think straight when I found out my 3rd grade crush liked me back,
I remember getting a dog and thinking she would live forever,
crashing my dad's rented 4 wheeler into a tree and being scared to show him,
my first swear word and how the entire playground snitched on me,
I remember the new year 2000, and wondering what the big deal was,
the huge hill in front of my house that as far as i knew was the biggest hill on the planet,
winning the state football championship,
I remember rubbing my ring in my friends face's,
the first time I cliff jumped and feeling like I was falling forever,
I remember watching my dad get deployed and wondering if he would come home.
I remember more than I thought.

My name is Brick and tonight I am your TOUR GUIDE
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Hey baby
Yeah, when I first saw that bikini top on her
She’s poppin’ right out of the South Georgia water
Thought, "Oh, good lord, she had them long tanned legs"
Couldn’t help myself so I walked up and said
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
In this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell lot better with you up in it
So baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
She was sippin’ on southern and singin’ Marshall Tucker
We were falling in love in the sweet heart of summer
She hopped right up into the cab of my truck and said
"Fire it up, let’s go get this thing stuck"
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
In this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell lot better with you up in it
So baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
When that summer sun fell to its knees
I looked at her and she looked at me
And I turned on those KC lights and drove all night
'Cause it felt so right, her and I, man we felt so right
I put it in park and
Grabbed my guitar
And strummed a couple chords
And sang from the heart
Girl you sure got the beat in my chest bumpin’
Hell I can’t get you out of my head
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
In this brand new Chevy with a lift kit
Would look a hell lot better with you up in it
Come on
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Come on girl
Get those windows down and cruise
Aww yea

TiPtOe
In the morning light let my roots take flight
Watch me from above like a vicious dove
They don’t see me come, who can blame them?
Never seem to catch my eye but I never wondered why
I won’t fall asleep
I won’t fall asleep
Hey yeah, don’t let ‘em know we’re coming
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher
Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low
Hey yeah, tiptoe higher
From your slanted view see the morning dew
Sink into the soil, watch the water boil
They won’t see me run who can blame them?
They never look to see me fly, so I never had to lie
I won’t fall asleep
I won’t fall asleep

Thoughts from a Distance
I’m thinking about you like Peanut Butter thinks about Jelly
I’m thinking about you like Squirrels think about Nuts
I’m thinking about like John Lennon Imagines
Like Utah thinks about rushing the field, again, and again,
and again
Like Zorro thinks about Moustaches and Women
Like Trees think about Rain
I’m thinking about you like white thinks about black
Like Touchdown Tony thinks about the Gamecocks
Like life thinks about death, like vultures think about
death, like death thinks about death
I’m thinking about you like cars think about gas and mowers
think about grass
Like Stoplights and mothers would have you stop and stay for
a while
Like mother thinks about child
Like child thinks about his mom waiting at home
Like child wishes his mother would be waiting at home
Like elevators think about being awkward
And I think about punching myself
I’m thinking about you even though I don’t want to
I’m thinking about you even though I HATE IT
Clicking Denial
Oh man, how great it is to be alive!
Are you really living?
Well yeah I'm breathing aren't I, of course I'm living!
Staring at this computer screen I beg to differ
Going through the motions doesn't count as living
From point A to point B is not living
Not even realizing people in the halls because you are so accustomed to this walk from 1st to 2nd period is not living
I bet your best friends name is Macintosh, and your breaths synchronize with each click of your mouse
"Click"
Breathing a sigh of relief as you hear that famliar sound is not living
Waiting to finish this post so that you can go play Skyrim is not living
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE71aKXjss0
^ This is living ^

Altoids
Nothing says creeper like getting offered a box of Altoids
The king of all hints
Getting offered an Altoid is the easiest way to say "get away from me you creep"
So you were just offered an Altoid huh?
Well go shave your porn stache, take off your trench coat, ball cap, sunglasses, church socks and teva's
And go put on something that doesn't scream "Hi your cute, let me show you my van, its just back here behind the liquor store.
Now I'm just rambling but honestly if someone offers you anything for your breath,
Your either gettin' some, or they are blowing the pre-rape whistle!
Cut your loses, and run.

"ROFL"
I'm
Thinking... I'm Thinking
Who
am I kidding no I’m not
Every day I see stupid people doing stupid things
Is it that hard to think through something before you do it??
People need to realize their actions effect more people that
just themselves
Txting and driving is a great example of not thinking
People don’t realize that last txt you send may as well be

Listening
I know people can hear what
I'm saying to them,
But are they really
listening to what I'm saying?
Everyday I walk down the
halls and I hear different conversations
And then I look at the people’s
faces and then I see it,
NOTHING!!!
Everyone seems to be looking
off into a different little world of their own
Where everyone there is
giving them their undivided attention
And they are loved
When they do this they fail
to realize the person right in front of them actually doing so.
People have become so self
absorbed that they fail to realize anyone else
Unless they are the center
and core of the ongoing conversation they simply tune out.
I find it quite annoying to
be honest.
Like right now I’m not even
talking about you,
Are you even listening?
I feel like I could just
asasflasdfl asnfasnvnasvn and you wouldn’t even notice.
That didn’t make sense good!
Because in my little world,
it shouldn’t, and doesn’t have to!
Losing Life to Fear
In fear of being heard,
In fear of being understood,
In fear of not being heard,
In fear of not being understood,
In fear of being misheard,
In fear of being misunderstood,
In fear of hearing too much,
In fear of understanding too much,
In fear of saying too much,
In fear of saying too little,
In fear of being too enlightened,
In fear of not being factually correct,
In fear of being too bright,
In fear of being too ignorant,
In fear of being praised,
In fear of being bullied,
In fear of not being like others,
In fear of loosing my individuality,
In fear of being ostracized,
In fear of being camouflaged,
In fear of being the attraction,
In fear of being ignored,
In fear of being too different,
In fear of being too common,
In fear of following others,
In fear of disobeying others,
In fear of being too gullible,
In fear of being too stubborn,
In fear of being used,
In fear of being misused,
In fear of rewards,
In fear of punishments,
In fear of responsibility,
In fear of expectations,
In fear of being trusted,
In fear of being mistrusted,
In fear of your lack of response,
In fear of your over-reaction,
In fear of eternal silence,
In fear of noisy communication,
In fear of your acceptance,
In fear of your rejection,
In fear of exciting you,
In fear of upsetting you,
In fear of loving you,
In fear of hating you,
In fear of your love,
In fear of your hatred,
In fear of being loved,
In fear of being hated,
In fear of thinking,
In fear of existing,
In fear of living,
In fear of dying,
In fear of being myself,
In fear of being another,
In fear of knowing myself,
In fear of neglecting myself,
I lost my voice;
I lost my identity;
I lost my self.
I lost this life;
I lost my life;
I lost life's life.
Suraj Samtani
I really enjoyed this poem because like Mr. Nelsons writing it shows both sides to a fear. It shows that while one thing might be scary, the opposite might be worse. In fear of living, in fear of dying. How do we live?

Writing
I'm sitting here at my computer, trying to think of
something to write about, and I think and I think and I got ... nothing.
Then I just decided I would good to write about my experience on this blog so
far. This blog has reassured me that I can truly write what I feel
without fear of retribution, and I love that. I like that I can really put thought into my posts and read
them back to myself and get something new out of my own words. I love that I can come to this page
everyday and vent about things that have happened to me, and I get points for
it! It’s awesome!!
Love
Love is a roller coaster, it has its up and downs,
and you can't always see what's coming up around the next corner, but it's the rush of emotion,
the steep drops that scare you,
and going back up the hill that pushes you back into your seat that gives you a concrete feeling
that it is safe.
It's the anticipation that leaves you wanting more.
It's the drop of the first hill that gives you butterflies and you don't care because it feels good
and it's a new feeling.
Love is like a roller coaster because you go around sharp turns that jerk you side to side
making you feel different about this ride you have gotten on,
it may even leave you second guessing your decision to take on this beast.
But then the car straightens itself back out again and your sit solid in your seat,
reassuring you that you want to be in this cart, and you want to be in love.
Love is like a roller coaster because because of the seat belts.
The seat belts of love are the happy memories that you share with ONE person and only that person. The memories that even through the most difficult times in the relationship,
the seat belts show you what the relationship can be and has been,
so you stay committed, even with the risk involved.
Love is like a roller coaster because even though you are scared out of your mind,
and you realize the risk involved,
and even though you might get hurt beyond repair, you get on the ride anyway.
Every chance you get.

Repetition
Im gonna take you for a spin along this little
Blog
of mine although you all might be just sitting waiting for a
Jog
of your memory to take you back to a happier
Time
when school wasnt so hard and life just wasnt so
Tricky
like Shawn White in his prime busting out new tricks to blow your
Mind
your words as you go throughout your day, you never know who might be
Mimicking
like a mime in the town square just trying to get some
Cash
money to pay the bills to support the family that deserted him and left him all
Alone
we all know the feeling, like no one is there for you when life kicks you in the gut and
Laughs
as you stumble to reach your feet struggling to inhale that precious
Air
jordans a status symbol for all man kind, checking out your new kicks eyeballing your
Swag
is for boys, class is for
Men
needed to fight for what is rightfully theirs, even if it means they must
Walk
the road less traveled or run from something they are
Not
going to be again, running from the past isnt
Easy
enough sometimes as mistakes seem to go in circles around you
Following
you wherever your little feet take you, repeating the motion you taught them long ago
But,
all you want is to forget the repetition.

Humans
From the way you grip the leather on your steering wheel
To the way you express your excitement after you win your bets
Humans are all unique
The way you sneeze
The way you clench your teeth with anger
These things make humans human
The look on someones face after losing a loved one
The love someone has for a certain family heirloom
Humanity is ever changing and ever evolving
Like Pikachu in his prime
We evolve to our every day foes
Whether its a Bulbasor or a Charzard
A death or an exam
We change to whatever challenge we meet on that day
If we choose not to meet the day head on
We retreat to our pokeball of comfort to await an easier foe
The only problem is the next days challenges may not be easier than todays
We must fight every day to win
We must fight every day to show that we may be humans
But we are strong and will not stay down
We may be just your run of the mill species
But we will not be denied the happiness we strive for
To the way you express your excitement after you win your bets
Humans are all unique
The way you sneeze
The way you clench your teeth with anger
These things make humans human
The look on someones face after losing a loved one
The love someone has for a certain family heirloom

Intro
Hello everybody,
This is my very first blog so we will see how this goes. My name is Brick Tamlin and I love to write. The main reason I don't keep a journal is because my hand cramps and no one likes that. To be honest I'm not exactly sure how to use this blog or what exactly to put on it. I'm just going to write what I feel on any given day and hope it comes across in the way that i intended it at the time. I love desk. I love Lamp.
