This world is made of places. Components of something that creates something we recognize. A nation, a continent, a particular culture. Yet, what brings it all together is the people that reside there. Nothing exists with out it's gears and pendulums running at full speed. That speed, mind you, can be slow at times as well. All the movers and shakers pull out of a city; the city all of a sudden has no "move" or "shake." Now what the hell am I saying. Can't a big name or development make or break a space? Yes. There won't be a single somebody busting from the seams in some city that don't got it. It is what is already there. I've stepped into Orlando, Miami, and Ft. Lauderdale with open eyes and troubled mental stature. They got it. Seriously. You don't mix fab beaches, immigrant population to feed/clean/cook for the fab, a state hurricane insurance program, and a image to die for without creating something. I've heard that Miami Vice and other like situations blew Miami up to being a dangerous place. Old retirement shacks and trailer property goes for bling these days. Why? Maybe the right economic policies, sure. I bet it was more the bounce that this place allowed. Rebuilt after a big storm, this place played fresh. The crime thing. What baller doesn't want to tame that? We are creatures of adventure and risk. A un-matched package, many florida locations have international appeal. Can you dig it? So why aren't people throwing money into Detroit? Talk about risk. Girl, you just lost your Zoo. Rock bottom is getting lower. I don't riding uphill when I'm being pulled downhill. You can't isolate it. Areas that grow have the ability to separate the riff raff that supports and pampers the whole system. Manhattan has boroughs, Miami has waterways, Chicago has transportation that really doesn't reach all places, and don't forget the powers of racism and laws that protect city appearance. We love to ship our homeless to jail and off the streets in the United States. A city is just another player in the market system. The problem is, if you actually have a product to sell you need a place for the product to go, exclusively. Down in the trashy crime ridden city dumps, clear shit out. Make something for them. Our country might have China surpassing us for income disparity but as #2 we hold our own. We are 1s and 2s and the 1s don't want to look at the 2s. Curiously, do the 1s realize that it's the 2s that make it all happen?

This is what came out. I'm not sure I completely agree. Recently I've been really trying to test out my opinion and journalistic voice. There is something there that when I get the vibe really seems to turn out something decent.
Who knew I'd hit this point? I've dropped low and stayed there. I think what I have really pinned it as has been my inability to escape a stage of immaturity. There seems to be a lot rebuilding within me right now. I have been locked many years back in growth as parts of me are reconstructing. Re-everything. "You won't catch me around here." My travels have been so gay oriented. I think I'm near exhausting that point and perspective. I'm not sure how I'm going to retailer the rest of my experience. It needs something. A movement from personal focus and star reaching to something that can hopefully feed that. I've grappled with a lot of things up to this point. Sexually, spiritually, educationally, and more. How do I take it from here. I could describe myself as a tree forced to bloom early from an early spring thaw. I'm waiting and young hoping to take advantage of the early sun but each and every bud is undeveloped. To make things worse, there are too many buds. Does my youth really limit me from realizing which ones are closest to the sun.
I'm tired of letting myself get used, bringing myself down, going against my best senses, missing opportunities, and avoiding risks. I once praised and valued my maturity. I now question everyones'.
