Live Fast and Die Young
Jason Andrew Mccombs Jul 30, 2009
Live fast die young,that’s really how I feel sometimes. Death is inevitable. It’s going to come to everyone. Fuck, that’s depressing though because I want to be able to do all the things that I want and be able to do them well. Something about walking around with a cane or walker, with my back all hunched up not to mention not getting "it" up, just kills me sometimes. Then again I guess everybody thinks about it, but me too much I think. That’s always been a problem of mine, thinking too much. People think that it’s a blessing. It shows that I’m smart and blah blah blah blah blah, but really thinking too much can be a real curse. I’ve had so many opportunities to broaden my horizons and world experience but I thought so much about pros and cons that the chance passed me right by. Sometimes it’s all right though cuz you can’t miss what you never had, you know? Life’s doors open and shut at random times and if you don’t make in the door before it closes you never know when it might open again. That’s the beauty of life, there are so many doors, so many ways to do things that it never gets boring unless you let it.
Live fast. Living fast is more mental than physical. You have to have a certain mentality to get into the fast track of life and keep it there. Taking risks, not following the rules, saying fuck you in the face of authority, taking drugs, drinking, never knowing what your next move is going to be, that’s the way I live usually. Punk rock’s not dead, it just smells like it but the way society views me is never going to be true. I will always be more than punk rock, I am something that cannot be defined. Adventure. Nine to five then going to the bar after work or on the weekend just isn’t cutting it. I’m starting to realize that no one can tell you how to live your life accept you!
Trial and error. You have to fuck up to learn. I think once you accept that, your falls become more like slips. You live fast you learn fast. Some don’t learn fast though. Just take a look outside, you see people who fell and could not or refuse to get back up. Me, personally, I have narrowly escaped many a disaster in my life, but I refuse to let the downfalls become permanent for me. I have too much that I want to do. Whether or not I’ll live long enough to become successful I don’t know. I don’t really care about glamorized fame but I do want to leave my mark on this world before I die through my paintings, my music, my words and my life in general.
Giving V.S. Receiving. Believe that in life every action has a reaction. If your actions are kind and generous you are spreading energy into life that is good. Therefore your life will reflect that I think. When I was a street hustler I took advantage of so many people and I never looked back. I soon wondered why my life was such a mess. So I believe that you reap what you sow. When you’re living fast it’s hard to look at what your becoming. It changes you inside, you stop giving a fuck and then you are fucked. L.O.L.stands for laugh out loud. Humour can save you when you’re down, just being able to laugh about things that are happening shows you that things aren’t usually that serious. Also it helps to see the lighter side because things could always be worse. Living fast will teach you that very quickly. Spontaneity will help you feel alive. To be in the moment is Zen. Thinking too much can lead you away from your spontaneous side, and we all have one. That side of you that wants to do something and then you just do it, no worries at all just going with the flow is what they call it.
Good V.S. Evil. A famous philosopher once asked one of his peers what good and evil were and who should be able to decide which is which. The true answer I think is in your heart and soul. You can feel when something isn’t right you have a feeling when it is right, you just know. Only problem is not everyone is on the same wavelength. You and I are two different people who went through two different versions of the same story. Although we can be on same page at times we all have a different system when it comes to weighing out the right and wrong of life therefore right and wrong aren’t "real", it is just a perception. Perceiving things is life. When you are presented with an obstacle you think about it and perceive it a certain way and then act accordingly. I want to have a clear mind when I perceive anything because things aren’t always what they seem. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Confronting your desires. Society will tell you that because something isn’t accepted by the masses that it’s not cool or acceptable to do. FUCK THAT. That’s what I have to say about that. I want to blow the critics out of the water cuz they don’t know shit. Most people have desires to do things but they are too much of a fucking pussy to try it so they make fun of you for being different. In my life crazy is the new "normal”. It’s 2009, it’s time to have a revolution and to fight for your right to get the most satisfaction out of your life cuz you only got one. So live as fast as you want and don’t let any one tell you you’re over the goddamn speed limit. PEACE.
