Imagine visiting a place you can’t afford to ever live. Cost of living is so high, you would think you were in the residential area of Beverly Hills or something. Think again, just go to San Francisco. I love San Francisco, the odd city structures of buildings slammed next to one another, I don’t think there are alley ways. They have an immaculate public transit system that puts Seattle and Tacoma to shame. Plenty of cool places to eat and lots to do, honestly the whole Bay Area is cool to say the least. I’ve yet to travel to San Diego, but I enjoy most of California outside of Los Angeles.

I’ve traveled San Fran a few times, but I’ve always missed out on visiting Chinatown. Supposedly, it’s the biggest Chinatown in America with plenty to offer, I just want to eat. I’ve at least gone down to Japantown, I’ve never heard of such a place, so I was curious. The best part about it was the book store, such an assortment of pop culture reads including books for adults without the curtains. I think it’s more embarrassing to be seen walking through “adults only” beaded curtains than just standing with the book in your hand. Best part was as I set the book down describing how to effectively shoot your own nude photos, I found a book on In Home Hip-Hop Producers. Fascinating photos of producer’s home set ups of speakers, mixers, drum machines, laptops, and sorted instruments. Best part about it, the photos were in black and white. Black and White photos and music studios go hand in hand in my opinion. Color doesn’t matter when the soul purpose is sound.

The food in SF is great too, I found a Korean/American Breakfast spot and spent $8 on bacon. I love bacon, you love bacon, we love bacon. The place is called Surisan SF, nice outdoor seating and a clean bathroom, that’s how you know it’ll be a high-quality food consumption experience. Cleanliness is next to Godliness … not sure if that’s a legitimate quote, but I heard it in a movie. I ordered Blueberry Crunch French Toast, Millionaire Bacon, and Cheddar Cheese Eggs. The French toast was as fluffy as a new comforter and sweet as your first kiss. The millionaire bacon was this thickly cut piece of pork lathered in sweet brown sugar and red pepper flakes. The bacon was like the demons and angles getting along in your mouth. Cheese Eggs are always wonderful.

We work hard all of our lives to get ahead somehow and once it’s over, wheres our legacy ? 10 years ago I was a wide eyed 18 year old with the world ahead of me and now all I’ve seen/felt was a bit of joy and lots of despair. 

All my wrong decisions, I take responsibility in that. Yet, all my right decisions might have been luck (or fate). 

Lost in the world is how I’ve felt since leaving my family for college. Lost in the world is how I’ve felt chasing after a career just for the income. Lost in the world is how I’ve felt when I create, when I write. 

Perhaps I’m a nomad hanging on tight to what society has to offer in order to survive. Maybe I’m not as aware of my resources as I’d like to think I am. 

But if I can avoid sitting in a desk space working a job that I hate, I think I’ll be better off to say the least. 

Desperate need for more hours in the day

Stress, No sex, no fun, no play

Every boy your age is worried about skirts

But the man my age is too worried about work

 Done most of it on your own

With little guidance from your father who was never home

Brought up as an only child, no worries on being alone

Isolated

 Isolation from popular population, racing and pacing

Often meditating the strategy of the next goal you’re facing

Rather spend nights alone with no phone

Rather let your mind wander and forget about home

 Forget what’s surrounding you

Finding what’s profound in you

Leave behind the lowlifes that are potentially drowning you

 With No Goals, No Values

You must grow and know how to

 The saying is “It’s lonely at the top”

Which means” you lose your peers while climbing”

Some of us just won’t stop

So teammates must get cut to form the right diamond

 Hard work

Either behind a desk or real deal labor

Hard Work

Staying up late only to awaken 4 hours later

 Hard Work

Only have time to nap on Sundays

Hard Work

Just to better yourself physically and mentally on a daily basis contains,
