I'm Not Cheap I Just Like Independence
I can appreciate women
Who wear summer dresses during fall,
Who speak like sailors
And fight like men.
I admire the girls
Who chase their own dreams,
Who speak their own mind
And buy their own drinks.
Who wear summer dresses during fall,
Who speak like sailors
And fight like men.
I admire the girls
Who chase their own dreams,
Who speak their own mind

Valentines at a Dentist Office
As I sat in the dentist office someone asked me,
Why am I single on valentines day?
And I said, "It is simple you see, I don't buy into
Corporate sponsored holidays
That turn love into a marketing scheme,
Women into little Hitlers
And men into total and utter tools.
And I know I know, I sound like a bitter asshole.
But I am the Lisa Simpson of my family after all.
If I ever really desired to spend money
On someone who matters in my life,
I would spend it first on my grand father, then on a beer".
I left there with a new crown. ...

For The Thirsty Dudes
To the dudes that don't take no for an answer.
If she doesn't reply back to your
Phone calls, text messages, snap chats,
Instagram comments or awkward waves
From across the bar,
Then she probably is not that into you.
And I feel it is safe to say
She isn't playing hard to get; She didn't just over look you.
She is not going to give you her number
After you buy her a few drink.
She is probably playing Carmen San Diego.
Which means by the time you turn around to grab the check,
She is long gone on a mission called operation...

To The Girls With The Chola Eyebrows
You my friends
Keep me entertained.
I do not know whether
You are happy or just mean.
And I mean no offense,
But just to be honest
You all kinda remind me
Of my mom in the 90's.
Fierce and tremendously feisty
The way women should be.
PS: Continue keeping them puppies
on point.

My Future Ex-Wife Is Going To Hate Me
I once celebrated
valentines day.
I felt like a sell out.
Never again.

Papa was the life of the party.
I remember the days you would show up unexpectedly
With gifts in your hands, to my parties.
With a smile emitting from your face, you would say:
"Johnny 5 stay alive, I brought you supplies for the party".
I find it ironic you didn't drink,
But somehow you were always the life of any celebration.
People assumed you were drunk, but I knew better,
Your high was a combination of women and gambling.
You were always a sucker for long legs and taking risk.
This is where we met eye to eye.
This is what helped us relate.
Women and risky...

I Am One To Just Not Care
Most people try try try
So desperately hard to fit in.
While others choose
To stand fixated
Trying their best to be
Oh so different.
While here I am sitting alone,
More concerned with my belly
Planning out my dinner.
So desperately hard to fit in.
While others choose
To stand fixated

Oh so different.
While here I am sitting alone,

Last Night As You Laid Naked, Your Snoring Kept Me Up
I enjoy the awkward mornings
When we put on last nights clothes
And walk out my door to see my grandfather
Drinking his coffee, extra black with two ice cubes.
You rush out the door saying good morning.
I give him a devilish smile knowing very well
He will be letting me have an ear full later that day.
But then I think to myself of last nights fun
And how we played repeat in the morning,
Realizing why it was all so worth it.
When we put on last nights clothes

But then I think to myself of last nights fun
And how we played repeat in the morning,

You are a Masterpiece
I find it utterly intoxicated
when a woman is bare with all her imperfections.
No makeup, hair a mess, wearing nothing
but the skin god gave her.
I call that art.
I call that honestly expressing yourself.

Women Have Been My Favorite Addiction.
I find myself attracted to women
I'll hurt in the end.
And I always end up leaving
With both hands up in the air screaming
abandon ship.
I find myself attracted to the women
who play seductionist.
Like roses with thorns, they are beautiful,
but painful in the end.
And I love this for some reason.
Probably because I'm attracted to people
who are just as fucked up as me.
I'll hurt in the end.
And I always end up leaving
With both hands up in the air screaming
abandon ship.

Excuse Me Bonita Applebum
Excuse me, excuse me. Hello there.
I just wanted to ask you,
Would you care to split a muffin, while we share a conversation?
I find that you radiate gorgeous from every pore on your body.
And with all honesty, I am not trying to get in your pants.
I just want to get to know you.
I want to see if the story matches the book cover.
Because judging from what I see you must possess a fierce personality,
Which probably scares most men far away,
But not to worry.
I come from a long line of strong stubborn women.
Who would probably make...

Prison Industrial Complex
People build walls
attempting to keep people out,
Not realizing
they're trapping themselves in.
