Hey my names Chavez, I'm 22 from chicago living in michigan right now. I just hangout with friends, work and play music. My brother traveled for a long time and I always wanted to do it, but never had a group of friends who wanted to go! So I'm just here learning and to meet new friends, i got a 08 crew change, Im really just preparing myself and hoping to find someone nearby who would be down to go. Get at me I love talking to new people about anything, music, politics, soccer, old drinkin stories, whatever.

folks who know me have my #.
Be kind to others.

the shit you align yourself with is the shit that protects you...

be kind, share, give, presume the best & don't be afraid to think people *aren't* assholes, until they prove it..

(admittedly, though, maybe that threshold should be a little lower than appreciation might wish for..)

stay with the things that are hardest, & the things that are strongest
& you will find they stay with you.


when you are in the desert, away from everyone you love
with a half canteen of water
& you share half that half with a stranger

you may find something far more full

than what you've given...

you may wonder if you should have given them all of it.

if you do shit like that, then you don't die until you're meant to...

even if some random shit lops off your head, or squishes you slowly enough for you to watch

you will live as hard as you can live,
& no one can fuck with you
because if you are willing to risk dying
to do good
then whenever the moment comes

everything you most honestly are
shall
be there...


& that is not you,

but the things
that *cause*

you....


the things you *chose* to let cause you

because you knew there was something greater than yourself...


as a caution:

freedom & travel are not the same thing.

travel is just a thing that can be desired, like anything else...

if you use it as a tool, it will give you power...

if you meet it head on, because you have nothing else,

it will forge you, as if you were chewed like Judas in the maw of satan
while looking at the eyes of Christ
telling you that everything is sorrow
except what you give to others...

& if you remain kind
& honest

& unshady

& keep your fucking promises

regardless of how much of a fucking asshole you actually *are*..

what you take from the distance

will be the essential proportion

of your strength...

& although you may die lonely,
& without validation from anything else, other than what you have known & found

as you die,

you will honestly find a certain satisfaction that at least you didn't sell out completely...

the whole point of traveling is not A to B
2 z fucking squared to the Nth fucking power...

the point of traveling

is to stay in one place.

that place being everything
& everywhere
that you are

at any given moment...

.....

to *desire* travel is one thing...

fucking seeing this & seeing that...

Yayhah booowWoooHooooHah

*being* what you are
when you are where you are
with what you are...

there are fucking people on here with fucking parents who raped them with fucking washing machines,
& all they have is fucking escape..

*that* is what travel was.. or is, for them...

& some .. well.. some are just fucking some...

sad as it is to say..

but, you know?

the two extremes find a certain unity..
if you are escaping, & haven't learned anything so deadly as to burn what you believed as a child out of you..
if there is *still* a little innocence in you, and you are fleeing, not just to *escape*, but to *preserve*,

then you are ok..

even if you believe nothing

& you still try to be kind, when you can..
to not steal
to not lie
just because you get something from it..

then yer ok..

but if yer a fuck who say this fuck shit is bullshit

then you may very well need to fear fucking dying...

regardless of *how* fucking healthy you are...

*you* my friend, are an idealist.


you will probably live for many years, like a star,
but finding & knowing more than even *their* immersion in time might bring,

though you have only a handfull of decades ahead of you...


if you've gotten this far, get in touch with me.

i need good crew..

my hands are going up into the air..

before?

they reached in desperation...

now they reach in exasperation..

travel is good, if you *use* it..

if you just want it?

well.. hate to tell you this, no matter how cool going A to B is...

it's just fucking xbox.
just fucking i did this.. i did that.."
just fucking a&b that everyone knows..

so if you have balls,

fucking use them...

learn..

fucking create..

be where you fucking are ( & i don't mean shithead ramdazss)

be where you are with all the power you have
of fucking sacrificing yourself
to be what you believe you ought to be..

& then?

you ill find something a little stronger than faith
but not very different..
& that is knowledge...

not *told* to you,

but *chosen* by you...

&

the product of *that*

is wisdom

in all it's shades
from foolishness
to truth...

& so peace, mofo

& be goddamned fucking carefull, ok?

& hit me up if you have the strength to achieve something like the dream
beneath it all..

J





if you use it as a thing to just get you wh
