everything tastes better with whipped cream

A poem I wrote for my friend Hannah



Hannah Banana
Sunshine peach of my day
Juicy watermelon on a summer day
Cherries soaked in vodka
Apple pie with ice cream on top
Strawberries dipped in chocolate
Starfruit cuz it’s so cute
Orange you glad we're friends?

Quernzy Rant

Mad. Yes this is one of the few times you will ever see me mad, so cherish it for the madness it is.

I am starting with my love/hate relationship with LA. I wanted to say I hated it, but that’s not true. I don’t completely hate it. There are so many things I love about it. But the hate part of the relationship is growing and makes me miss NY ever so much more. Although, I have a love/hate relationship with NY as well!

LA is finally living up to what I originally expected it to be like. It fooled me from the beginning, but has slowly revealed itself to be the monster that it is. LA fools you into thinking it’s this magical place. but you have to work so hard to keep up that magic.

What I’m hating right now……if you can’t be real and say what you mean; Mean what you say; Don’t intend to follow through with what you feel or what you say you feel; Then I don’t want to deal with it. Don’t ask to ‘know me’ until you can prove that you know yourself. I’m disappointed in general. Disappointed that some are always on the search for something better and they can’t decide to enjoy what they have and enjoy what’s right in front of them. And I’m not talking about love, although it does apply. Just life in general.

Now I am desperately fighting the cynic. (“back, back!”) but the whip and cage helps. I refuse to give in to the cynicism this town creates. I will not let it be. I will put up a fight. But man some people! They make the fight so grand and ongoing, it’s amazing. Need to start training at Krav Maga just to keep up.

Yes it is really hard not be cynical in this town and in this business. It is so hard. But I have to find the balance of trust and cautiousness. I can’t give in to thinking that everyone will screw me over in my personal and professional life, because then it really will happen. I need to find that balance.

K. so that’s the end of my rant. Thanks for listening.

Resignation

i didn't write this, but i love it!
v...............

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.
I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.
I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four-star restaurant.
I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.
I want to think M&M's are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.
I want to return to a time when life was simple.
When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes.
All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.
I want to think the world is fair.
That everyone is honest and good.
I want to believe that anything is possible.
I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly
excited by the little things again.
I want to live simple again.
I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.
So . . . here's my check book and my car keys, my credit card bills and all my statements.
I am officially resigning from adulthood.
And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause. . . . . . . . . . .
"Tag! You're it."

Life Lessons from the Good Ol' Boys

Life Lessons from the Good Ol' Boys

Yes the Dukes of Hazzard was part of my childhood days and I’m proud of it! Here are some lessons from Quernzy inspired by the Dukes of Hazzard that will last a lifetime….

A day goes by much quicker when there’s a car chase involved. And a car chase isn’t worth watching if the car doesn’t fly in the air at least once.

Tight pants, flannel shirt and cowboy boots never go out of style and looks smokin hot. Not to mention a curly ‘fro and sideburns.

Give your car a name and a cute horn and it will perform better.

Yelling out ‘yee-haw’ just puts a smile on your face. Literally!

All problems can be solved within an hour. A new lesson learned every week.

Walkie talkies are so much more fun than cellphones. Especially when you can say '10-4 little buddy'. And have a cool codename.

Having a pretty girl around never hurt nothin’. And she usually has the brains and a lot of heart to bring to the situation anyway.

Along with the A-Team and Knight Rider (what is it w/ me and cars??), add a bowl of Breyer’s ice cream, and I don’t need to remember any of my other childhood memories. (I’ve forgotten the others anyway.)

Let's just hope the movie is even half as good....

And just a side note – downtown Hazzard County looks A LOT like Stars Hollow, home to a couple Gilmore Girls!! 25 yrs doesn’t change much on the WB lot.

love song

written by quernzy...


Love oh love really really sucks. It really really sucks oh yea. Yea yea baby yea. Love really sucks. Oh yea. Rock on! Dude it just sucks. It sucks ass big time. That’s it. Oh love love really sucks. I’m sick with it. Oh love. Love love. Hate it. Love it. Wanna get away from it. Can’t stand the thought of it. Wanna kill anyone in it. Wanna hate them forever. Oh love love really sucks. Really really sucks.

Guitar riff……

Wanna go piss on it. Wanna never see it again. Addicted to love but I need the cleanser cure. Get me away from it. Stick in that needle. Get it away. Never wanna see it. Never wanna be in it again. Love oh love really effin' sucks. Really really sucks. It effin' sucks ass. Love oh love. Do you hear what I’m saying. Stay the hell away. Get out. Oh love. Hear what I say. Oh love. That’s right love.
