Inspiration can be edgy sometimes

I met Nick through my roommate Brendan a few years back while he was living in San Ramon. At first i thought this kid was the craziest, not giving a care, ruthless teenager I had ever met. Through the years I got to know Nick a bit and realized this guy is, in my language "legit".


Nick's one of a kind. Dresses to the beat of his own drum and a style all his own. He's very eccentric and in my mind on another level. If you see him in a "DangerZone" episode you'll recognize how off the wall Sick Nikki Fresh is. I'm pretty impressed with Nick and his Open Faith with people around him. That's always pumped me up. He can be such a popular dude on the Skateboard/Snowboard scene and still stick to his true alliance with Jesus Christ.


It's cool to me when people that get really big and popular remember where they came from and can stay grounded like Nikki has. That's inspiration to me in a bit of a nutshell. We all inspire people in different ways, some people more than others. It's finding the inspiration that you can use to better your soul that's most important to me.

I kinda like Drips





Today


Greet your elders with a smile today
Work on developing your soul today
Laugh with someone that could use it today
Canvas your thoughts into a dream today
Forgive a hardened, uncivil heart today
Be inspired by a friends beauty today
Remember that your purpose is all your own today
Listen to your heart beat today
See elegance in every direction you look today
Remember that life is a creation today
Make your life special today

Sometimes you CAN make it on your own


These are what I call trinket paintings. 8 inch by 8 inch. Just enough canvas to get the word out.






RUST
I spoke with you today
the predicament at hand will not extinguish the hurt
the composure of the setting is fresh
like a blade of wet grass in the garden
sentence after sentence the relationship builds into a conversation
likes and dislikes are created as a form of dignity and remembrance.
I want our memory to last longer than a wooden box of handwritten letters.
Give me that one chance to reveal my true inner most feeling for you.
As we walk hand in hand through our lifetime we hold on to what is true
Don't let your LOVE rust away, as together we extinguish the pain that we call hurt.

Kindness



Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel your life get handed to you as it were ending in a quick abyss
What you worked so hard for, strive for, loved for
what you gave every ounce of your heart so graciously
all this must go
so you know you may finally realize in your heart
the true definition and spectrum
of kindness.




Before you learn the entire spectrum of kindness,
you must live in a battlefield of angst and pretentious living
You must see how this could affect you,
how your life was being affected by a long journey
of lies and incomplete dreams.

Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice from inside cries effervescently
and then makes the light arrive when your soul begins to sing.

Then it is only kindness that is the only thing you need in your life
only kindness that makes the day feel so much more brighter
Kindness is what I've been looking for, kindness is what I've missed.
