THE FUTURE'S IN CHAINS N STUFF N STUFF

THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY POEMS I'VE EVER WRITTEN, SO I THOUGHT I'D SHARE N STUFF:

THE FUTURE'S IN CHAINS

Written By:  Angela Gagon

Hey you, got dreams for the future?

     Well wake up man, there jokes!

     'Cause all those fairy tale endings-

     Were some fucked up writers hoax.

I'll never understand this trip;

     I heard it was unfair.

     The one's who seem to make it-

     are the one's who just don't care!

I thought things would get better;

     once upon a time.

     I even thought I had a chance,

     that a good life could be mine!

So with those thoughts (some time ago);

     on work and life I'd thrive;

     years of constant struggle-

     barely keeping me alive.

I really tried to make it;

     Now I just can't seem to deal-

     Cause I've been striving all along,

     to find this world's not real!

Don't think I can take much more,

     of these eternal hurts & pains!

     But what's it matter anyway..................

     THE FUTURE'S STILL IN CHAINS!

4TH OF JULY N STUFF N STUFF

AS A KID, THE 4TH OF JULY WAS A MAGICAL TIME N STUFF. I WAS NEVER ONE TO LIKE THE PARADE, BUT THE FIREWORKS, WELL THATS WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT N STUFF. 

MOM AND DAD WOULD LET US EACH DO OUR OWN SPARKLERS, AND THAT ITSELF WAS JUST TOO MUCH FUN N STUFF. THEN DAD WOULD LITE UP THE PICOLO PETES AND THE SNAKES N STUFF. THEN WE WOULD PACK UP THE SLEEPING BAGS AND DRIVE DOWN TO THE WATERFRONT AND WATCH THE BIG FIREWORKS SHOW N STUFF. THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL!!!

BUT IT BROUGHT A WHOLE NEW DIMENSION TO THE 4TH OF JULY FOR ME AND NOW THEY ARE BETTER THEN EVER N STUFF!!!! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY N STUFF.......

MTV N STUFF N STUFF

Do you remember when MTV first came out???? I do and that is just so crazy n stuff.....


 I mean my kids and your kids all act like MTV is just another tv station thats always been around. But to those of us that remember it's start it was so awesome!!! 

I mean to watch music on tv was just the coolest n stuff. It was like the radio on tv and you could actually see who all those voices looked liked n stuff. Remember Martha Quinn? and Julie Brown? n stuff......

The songs that stand out most to me from back then are "Come on Eileen", "The Safety Dance", and "99 Luftballons" n stuff.....

LIFE ON MARS N STUFF N STUFF

Have you seen that show "life on mars"??? It was pretty cool n stuff. It starts off in the present time and a guy gets hit by a car and he awakens in the 70's n stuff. It's so cool cause you can watch how much the world and everything has changed so so so much. So many little things that you don't even think about until you watch a show like this one and then you're just like WOW n stuff. 

If you've never seen it and you like the 70's then I definitely recommend watching it. My favorite seen of all i think is when his free-spirited neighbor comes over to his place and gets him to dance with her n stuff. It so much reminds me of myself. And he is just so damn cute n stuff. From the music to the clothes to the tv ads and more - its kinda fun n stuff.

THE THREE DOG NIGHT N STUFF N STUFF

Three Dog Night was like one of my favorites of all time n stuff!!! What was your favorite 3 DOG song???  Mine was "Shambala"...  My boyfriend said he liked "jeremiah was a bullfrog - joy to the world" the best. They had hella good songs that bring back all kinds of summertime memories n stuff.


Like "mama told me not to come" and "one" n stuff. I was watchin their video of "shambala" on you tube and was crackin' up at the clothes!!! But they were doin' it at the time, that was the fashion.

Almost forgot "black & white" and "never been to spain" n stuff. i love the internet for letting your memories come to life again!!!!!! cuz, the show must go on...........n stuff.

"THE RUN" n stuff n stuff.........

"THE RUN" (aka springs rd) was "the cruise" in my home town.  It was soooooo much fun. Everybody would hangout in every parking lot, school, fast food place, gas station, I mean everywhere n stuff. There were spots that were for the nerds & spots for the stoners & spots for the jocks & spots for the headbangers & spots for the every stuff n stuff.  
If you had a car, you would just drive up and down "the run" all nite, n stop at different spots & chop it up, or smoke, or makeout, or dance, or drink, or all of the above plus some, n stuff. 
On Friday & Saturday nites we would get all dressed up for "the run" n stuff.  Some of my fondest memories were spent there. We'd drive our cars a little crazy n stuff, but all-in-all it was really just kids having good fun. 


But of course, all good things must end, and the local police decided to shut down "the run" after years n years. Now what do the kids do?? 

I wish so much that my kids could have known "the run"   ...........BRING BACK THE CRUISE n stuff!!!!
