I have a feeling my grandmother is going to die soon
I love her more than anything
She is one of the most genuine and loving people on this entire earth
And I am not even bullshitting because she's my grandmother, or biased because ya she is myy grandmother, but for real, she is sweeter than the ripest of fruits
I am scared I won't have any tears for her, I just don't cry
this makes me feel bad...I have no thoughts on this, it's just how I feel and I don't know if not having tears to cry should be taken negatively, I do feel remorse, I just can't cry...everyone deserves to be cried for i believe, what if I can't ..

famous in my own right

I strive to be an individual just by following far-fetched hopes, dreams, and personal aspirations. Letting go of all the tools and safety guards our modern society says i need in order to be successful in life. I try to develop my mind based on my own perspective on things, create my own ideas of what is cool, what is wrong or right, what things in life are most important, and what i essentially need to do to achieve greatness. This “modern” world, describes me as a “Hipster” for this and I’m fine with that. Title me what you will. In my heart I know that I may be different, but at the same time i know i’m not so indifferent. No I am not the picture perfect average or “normal” person. I am like no one else you will ever meet, when you think Travis Clark, I hope you only have the best of thoughts. I can only imagine that most people think, nice & sweet, funny but quirky, short, fit, cute and cuddly, but yet with a bit of a devilish side…most would just refer to me as “weird.” And I am, because most things people aren’t accustomed to are indeed weird…I never have intentions of scaring people away or making them feel uncomfortable, I just like being honest, open, true, overall “real”…and want to surround myself with people in accordance with me, people that want to break away from the everyday, and make everyday, a different day, a better day. A day like today, the next best thing to tomorrow. This is just another personal moment of chaotic clarity I am working to perfection, fore no pre-mature idea is perfect. For now though I’m off for some World Cup Action and to play some soccer and soak in the sun, btw everyone should try out the death cab for cutie pandora station and also listen to amsterdam by guster…i bid you good-day tumblr! and oh yea, one love ; )

What do you plan to do with your future? A question i practice answering before any holiday event in which any to all my relatives are expectingly attending. I usually respond with the typical rant in how i'm doing in school and what career options run available in my school of study, which is restaurant hotel and institutional management for all of you out there that are duly interested ..but if i were to answer open and honestly..i would ask them how is one supposed to know, for the future is only as close as ones next breath...I plan on breathing, but I don't really care unto how, or where, or when...If you listen to me closely, you will note that I believe It's all about PERCEPTION! Clocks tell me I only have 24 hours in a day, to me, the sun tells me i have from sun-rise to sun-set, and who is to say what amount of time is short or long...given the right atmosphere, there is certain people that i'd give a week of my life to, just to spend a single long-lived hour with them...however, with the ones that i am that close to, that hour usually comes and goes faster than expected...so to get back on track though,... to tell someone my plans for the future is like telling them my best guess ending for a book that is still being written and is chapters away from any form of climax...However I can tell them what I hope the future holds, what i currently want to do, and how i plan on doing it.

treeple

people are like trees in many ways..

we root ourselves, then branch out
we're fragile at first, but then grow strong
at times it's hard to support ourselves, yet we're capable of supporting many other lives.. and etc, think about it..

we're all treeple

When sitting here to write
there is so many things i want to tell the world
my brain jumps from topic to topic
in search of the perfect philosophy i feel like expressing
and i'll write and write
and edit edit edit
until my work is flawless
then more than most of the time
i delete everything and start over
a philosophy i see as a development of understanding
a work in progress
an ever improving theory
so the more patient you are
the more you understand
the better and more precise
your philosophies will be
..sometimes though..
i do spit bullshit and hope it makes sense
and if it doesn't
feel free to take what i write into personal interpretation

greatness

men aspire to great things
through time this is more than evident
everyday humanity seems to surprises itself
defying the odds and questioning logic in reason
looking at the sky it's comforting to imagine..
that centuries ago our very foundation of forefathers laid the first stepping stone
intellects like Einstein
religious icons such as Ghandi
athletes like the hurricane or the great bambino
Aristotle and all philosophers alike
...all gazed and dreamed at the same stars we do today
in our time, what will we dedicate to history
what will be our mark?
our calling?
our significance?
A simple lifetime is provided to accomplish greatness
provided with tools from the past,
what will we give our future?

irony

it's funny how you can find yourself when lost in your own thoughts.

indifference

the things worth dying for should be one in the same of the things worth living for

placement

remembering where you come from, helps you decide where you want to go.
