Oh brother.

Hey you! (...yes YOU!) You must be wondering.. what the &%$#@ am I doing here?

That's the way I approach life.

I mean think about it. Life's too short to take it seriously anyway.
And if you live life like you're afraid to die then when you die,
you'll realize you haven't live at all or something like that.
(I'm trying to sound smart so bear with me.)

Or by the time you're through, you'll just look like an old hag.
Seriously. You don't wanna live life looking like that.

This is err, a place I call home. My comfort zone.
A place where I can do stuff without anyone nagging me about it.
Here in a loosey-goosey environment, I write. I listen. I speak. I draw.
I curse. I play. I flirt. I dance. I party. I try to entertain. I...

just do. 'Coz I want to. And you can't do anything about it.

Well, what are you doing here? Believe it or not, destiny have brought you here little one..(and serendipity perhaps?)
Everything happens for a reason. At this very moment. YOU should be here. "COINCIDENCE happens."

Since you are here just the same, please take the time to look around. I'm sure you'll find something interesting to read or look at. This thing you are reading right now won't tell you what I'm all about. See the pictures below?! (..those are navigational things and have some purpose)
So use your mouse to accomplish something..

And, oh yeah..
Make the most out of your stay

Welcome.

Sweet Disposition

Hooray for today! Why you ask? It's my dad's birthday! Happy birthday to the best dad in the universe. I say this as objectively as I can with irrefutable evidence to counter any claim otherwise.

I present exhibit A: Me. Wait, I don't think presenting me as evidence would help my dad's case.

Since I'm too broke and cheap to get him a present, I will present him with my entry to MTV's blogger contest I joined awhile back. Why? This is to remind him that if I actually won that thing, I'd get him a really nice present like Megan Fox.

Yes, I'd get him Megan Fox. Nah, I'm kidding he wouldn't like that. Maybe Megan Fox AND Angeline Jolie. Now, we're talking.

Who am I kidding? He doesn't read my blog. If he did then he'll disown me as his son. It's just me and my dog. Technically, dogs can't read too that's what they say.

Okay, enough small talk. Here we go.

A Letter to My 9-Year Old Self from the Future

Dear Ronald,

I know you probably won't read this so I made sure to put 'FREE CANDY' on the envelope. Now that you have opened this I want to tell you right away that this is not a joke. This is a letter from you, 15 years into the future. I know what you’re thinking. No, there are no super humans/robots like IronMan, GI Joe, or He-man saving the world. Sorry to disappoint but there are no transforming robots to protect our planet. But what you will have is the Internet (It's like a bunch of talking wires. What's interesting is that we don't use mail in the envelope anymore. What we have is called e-mail.), global warming (Buy a lot of shorts.), and cellular phones (A portable telephone that you can bring anywhere. You can also instant message or "text" someone using this device.) For instance:

Hi! Wru?
Who u?
K8. M hir.

I know you're dying to ask how you turned out. Well, you didn’t do that bad. Remember the times when dad will sing off-key every Sunday morning to some Beatles track on the radio? Well, it paid off. You are now a member of the most famous band in the history of planet earth. Your band is appropriately named ‘the greatest band on planet earth’ or TGBOPE for short. Girls profess their undying love for you. They throw everything from their panties to pet squirrels to you on stage. Angry mobs chant your name have been clashing with anti-riot police just to see you play. People sacrifice and name their new born son after you.

You have three mansions, ten vehicles, and your very own island with slaves. In fact, you are writing this on your computer (it’s like wired robots that talks to a bunch of wires. Again, they don’t transform.) while lying in your golden bed. Most importantly, all your songs are hits. They have been on the charts for more than a decade rivalled only by the Beatles. Who can forget your inspirational lyrics like “Ha ha, he he, ha ha ho” and “P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face”

Your songs are on MTV all day. What is MTV? Well it’s the most important invention ever created by man. I can’t describe it. You’ll just have to experience it. Where would man be without MTV? Probably still trying to make fire out of two sticks and you are not just saying this to win some competition. You won’t say these things in order to travel the world, meet cool people, and be famous. That is just stupid.

Ok, I made that all up.

You know what they say when all else fails you still have delusion. But how you turn out is not that important. I know you still have a lot of questions to ask. What about college? How’s your first job? What's puberty like?

The poster mom gave us with the caption; reach for the starts if you fail you land on the clouds will not help you. I am here to give you real advice that will get you through the next phase of your life.

Knowing you, we both have attention spans that only last a few seconds. It's a proven fact that as you get older, you get dumber. So I made a list and wrote it all down before I forget.

Ways to survive the next 15 years of your life.

1. Never try to understand girls. Wanting girls to like you will make you do a lot of things like pretend to listen to what they say, buy flowers, and shower.

2. Use the line; you had me at hello, from a famous movie in the future when you meet a new girl. This way... oh wait, see #1.

3. People will say your future depends on what course you take in college. This is not true. A talented musician who will open for your band, Britney Spears, majored in Bioengineering and Psychobiology. I know this because I access Wikipedia (a modern day Bible of information)

4. You will see a lot of celebrities and artists use drugs. Don’t follow them. If you take drugs you will end in one of two possible scenarios. It will take you 30 minutes to realize that you are talking to a wall or you are so hyped up that the next morning you wonder why you smell like urine. People will say it feels good or it gives them inspiration. It may seem like all the “cool” people are doing it. But trust me. Just say no. Why? Look up a picture of Amy Winehouse.

5. Scandals will be a prevalent trend in the future. Stay away. Remember the time when you burned your cousin’s dollhouse because you wanted to be a fireman? It seems like a good idea at that time but we both know what happened next. So think twice before doing something stupid. But between you and me? That fire was awesome.

Yes, those were stupid but I do have some real advice for you. The reason I didn’t reveal much is I want you to live life. Have no regrets and take a chance. People will say you can have it all but you can’t. You can’t have a good family life and a successful career. You have to sacrifice and compromise. Nothing is free in this world and you will have to work very hard in order to succeed. I know you'll make a lot of decisions and it will be confusing at times. But with prayers and your parent’s advice, you’ll do fine.

I could go on but they have a word limit on these things.

Lovingly yours,

Ronald

P.S. Remember these letters - VIA, GOOG, and MSFT. Break your piggy bank and invest in the stock market. You can have all the candy you want.

Look out! Smart-ass coming through!

Mr. Poe is a paradox. He is young yet he is old. That is from his age and his responsibilities.
He has a day job and what does he do at night? Nobody knows yet.
Whether he is a Casanova, a dead ringer for a celebrity, or a ninja, only a few people will know.
Sometimes he can be generally boring or a walking time bomb. Spontaneous.
Some sources thinks he is like a riddle and he to likes being mysterious with that poker face of his.
And he likes it that way.
If he is inspired or compelled by necessity, he likes to and writes forgettable pieces of poetry and songs or draw undecipherable works of garbage err.. arts.
Otherwise, the rest of his time is consumed by web design, painting, and sports.
Apathy. That's what he feels most of the time but wants to go to heaven. Still Optimistic.
He still believes he is a prodigy and secretly hopes he has traces of the Godfather, Beatles, and Da Vinci in his soul.
