I commence to you commander with a full face of breeze

that this war has unwittingly seized,

causing an allergy with your policies at sea.

Perhaps if a stranger were to sit-in on our moments together, he/she would come to the conclusion that we were a handful of space cadets on a rocket ship built out of paper mache. And when we he/she would come to that conclusion, I would simply remind them that not many people can build a rocket that flies, especially one made of paper mache.

A man sits on his couch at home after work. A man who is in the buckets, or poverty as some would say, and works day to day, paycheck to paycheck. His wife sits in the other room suffering from her disease; a disease that tears at the seams of their relationship.

For most Americans, the thought of someone taking tabs on our everyday habits would seem almost absurd. But believe it or not, creating nice little boxes with labels to go along with it is big business. Broken down generation by generation while being dissected even further, the demographics of a generation have unique characteristics that define who they are. And for marketing gurus alike, it’s getting to be tougher and tougher by the day to define a generation. (more…)
