A Moment of Clarity

The abstract then becomes the reality
Alcoholics like to call it the moment of clarity
-Talib Kweli

thinking today
as i do
everyday...
[like pinkie and the brain]

i wish that
i could build a house
to give to my spouse
then to leave it to my children

i wish that I could
experience independent living

my landlord has been fair
but i want my own.

i want to volunteer
with habitat for humanity
because if i help them
then theoritically
they will help me
but i'm in a catch 22

they say
that we don't qualify
because we make too much money

but i know
knee deep in student loans payments

i don't make enough money.

so what's the solution?

....build a house out of cardboard?
sounds funny, right;
but if i can pull it off,
then that's what
i'll do.

Elucidate

Let me clear a few things up,
Let me break it down,
To bring us to higher ground.
From the ground up is what's up.

Gonna clear it up,
Life is marked up, corrected in red.
Messed up tragic, but we aint dead.

Rent may be too damn high,
But our story will set you straight.
We have no reason to lie,
Pay attention while we elucidate.

The long road to redemption...post #1

Theodore and Edward
having been talking about starting a blog for a while now.

Now is the time!!
No need to procrastinate, hesitate, nor wait for the right moment.

This is the moment!!
We live today.
We live now.

This virtual tome is our literal analog and digital journey to acquire more grace. Having grace has the butterfly effect of stopping wars, hunger, famine, and violence.

This is our journey.
This is our story.
This is our time to tell OUR STORY.
