Tame The Beast: A Saga Without Remorse

One brutally early morning I came upon something horrific. Something inspiring, deafening, and apprehensive. 3/25/2012

          A savage beast stopped me in my tracks as I waddled towards my car at a deadly hour of the morning... At this hour, my brain had not yet regathered itself from its melted state a half hour ago, so visions were twisted. Sounds we're amplified. Feel was numb. My tongue was a mechanism gone unacknowledged throughout me... All was lost until this beast came upon me. 

          Fear shook through my heels. Instinct told me not to but I moved towards this animal not knowing what my body was doing... Yet, I saw myself grip the ego of this beast with my own eyes. 

          It's eyes saw through the degenerate in me. I felt it's solid statue crawl through my veins like an epidemic. Such a being thought never to exist on a Saturday morning! It has turned the fear in me, lose.

          It stood with a vengeance. Vengeance on my own LAWN? Christ! This is my land, creature. Only I, have the power to frighten, when on mine own land. The Nazi's didn't feel the power I feel for my own surroundings. But wait... It's moving. My thoughts - firing through my brain like a cowering school girl - may have tamed the beast. 

          Have I doubt? No. I am seeing what I sought... Total control without ever imagining it. It is vanishing from my grounds. You Savage Beast! Be gone! Oh, how I've conquered this animal, I shall conquer today with whatever it brings forth. I gave the morning a kick in the nut sack. Let's see what else this dreadful Saturday has in store... 

          Only time will tell whether this beast will morph into a slow driver in the left lane, or an invalid credit card keeping me from my addiction to tobacco. I know now, that whatever it is, I will overcome it. I have the power! No sympathy for the weak my friends... Only the afraid will fall and the fierce shall prevail. I know, now, that I am it! 

          I know now that nothing is unbeatable. This dreadful morning has turned into a delighted righteousness. Run away beast. This is ME, and I am here to stay!

          I unlock the door of my righteous vehicle and ignite it's power which surges from my foot to the top of my stimulated brain... ah HA! If only I could sell this power in a can... I grab the steering wheel and feel the rumble of the engine. This beast knows exactly how to tame it's competitors - with a blinker and an open passing lane, yes... I check my mirrors. Vroom! Vroom! 8AM has never felt so better...

          I pop that shifter into reverse and back out of that slightly titled driveway which is only meant for the best of drivers. No break, just gravity shall carefully handle this beast onto it's beaten path. Ah yes, a definite stop from backing out. I have the road in full view now. Today! will be the start, of the beginning, of the rest of my life... Shove that sucker into drive and... Stall. Fuel Gauge: Empty. 

          I know now, that I know nothing.
