that's illegal in New York State?

so, just like damn near every new yorker i know, the police are not viewed as a law abiding force of justice and the enforcement of value and aid by me. their more of a menacing nuisance and bothersome problematic gang of street thugs sanctioned by our cockamamie mockery of a government. their presence brings about a sense of instant frustration and grief. however, in all their faults, there is a list of laws that i am glad they are too consumed in themselves to even bother to cater to. did you know....

women may go topless in public, providing it is not being used as a business...

citizens may not greet each other by "putting one's thumb to the nose and wiggling the fingers...."

a fine of $25 can be levied for flirting....

the penalty for jumping off a building is death...

while riding in an elevator, one must talk to know one, and fold his/her hands while looking towards the door.

slippers are not to be worn after 10:00pm...

 a person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket...

it is illegal for a father to call his son a "faggot" or "queer" in an effort to curb "girlie behavior"...

.... i don't make this shit up.

the people you love the most are the people that hurt you the most

this one is kinda personal. bear with me....

so, i love my mother. she carried me for 9 1/2 months, went thru labor for an alleged 8+ hrs, nurtured me all the way through, and helped me to no end. i love her.
but now that i'm a man i find that shes having difficulty letting go. and that difficulty is turning her into a controlling, annoying, nagging, discouraging .... i have too much respect to call her a bitch...
granted i may have done somethings to provoke certain elements in her behavior, i can deal with that knowing that i'm on a road to recovery and redemption. and thats evident to all, so this leaves me asking; when is enough, enough? what ever happened to let the punishment fit the crime? i feel like i messed up, and  i deserve some rebuttal to my actions, but when its clear that i've learned from my mistakes, shouldn't there be some ease? why does she feel the need to press issues and make them that much worse? i can't deal.
i know its time for me to go. i'm preparing for a departure from the nest. but my situation is so complicated its so hard for me to make that move, and life here with her just isn't getting any better.
i can't do anything i want to do, because everything i do is disrespectful to HER house. i'm 23 years young and this is no way for a man like me to live. my dad isn't any better, my brother is a pest and i'm going crazy. being home is the last place i ever want to be and its so unfortunate that i have to be here so often.
this blog has no relevance to anything... i just needed to vent.

P.S: just b/c you love someone does not mean you have to like them at all.

be yourself.

don't you hate it when people use words bigger than themselves to sound smarter than they are? those are the types of people who act totally different around people than they do around family. i mean to some degree i guess everyone does, but i'm talking about those who make that complete 180. night & day. hot & cold. real & fake. i hate to notice when someone is putting on a fake persona.
this trend is becoming ever present in 2008. don't blog about some shit and load it up with a bunch of 13 letter words cuz you think people will accept you as a better writer. you can use the words you do everyday; please, just spell them right.
be yourself and the world will either accept you for you... or shun you for you. either way, stay true to you. b/c when you fake and try to be something your not; the world will notice and real people will call you out on it.

-C!
P.S: i'm only blogging again b/c a few loyal readers requested my service. this blog is my kingdom come; i'm hova with the keys. (take it how you want to....)

P.P.S: stay tuned... artful_carlito@yahoo.com
