Information Man. i want to share.

this appears in the Buddy Wakefield Song "The Information Man" off of his album Run On Anything. (Strange Famous Records 2006)

i can tell you are looking for answers
in the same way i can see aesthetics of our faces (not sure about that one)
so for a taste of your whiskey i'll give you some advice
i'm just F-in' with you
you're not allowed to have alcohol here, man
its a rest area
Listen.
if i didn't have so much of this life all wrong, would have gotten it right by now, i talk a whole bunch but i really only know a few things, so i'm not saying to follow along verbatim, i'll just tell you the things i tell myself, the things I KNOW and you can see what sticks, i know our shoes was stitched from songs about... HIGHWAYS! the best songs are the ones about Georgia, even though i never been there, its the only place i still believe in Jesus, i know that no matter what it is you believe in, you've got to spare yourself the futility of making fun of God, because that guy haven't even talked. EVER! i know troubleshooting yourself in the foot and acting as your own universe is a tricky dichotomy for you to deal with, but yes. You are the center of the universe, if you weren't you wouldn't be here. so as the middle of space and everything floating in it, it is your job, to know that the emptiness is just emptiness, the stars are stars, and the flying rocks HURT! so please, stop inviting walls into WIDE OPEN SPACES. i know everything is out there, that's why they call it everything. i know there are times when you go to lay your head to rest and have a moment of brilliance that will grow into a perfect order of words. but you will fall asleep instead of painting it down on paper, and when you wake up you will have forgotten the idea completely and miss it like a front tooth, but at least you know how to recognize moments of brilliance, because even at your worst, you are F-in' incredible, it comes honest. so return to yourself, even if you are already there, because no matter where you go, or how hard you try, or what you do, the only person you're ever gonna get to be, and i know it-- thank god-- is YOU!

~I am, the Non-Professor. I'm also the Non-Plagiarist. i am off the bus.
