While in the midst of trouble and difficulty, it in some cases becomes paramount that we invest in ourselves. I find that through the journeys of life, thick and thin, there is always some dark cloud over-hanging all that is beautiful, all that is esteemed as "good." Trudging through the deep snows of apathy, drifts upon drifts of meloncholy, heaping in an insermountable pile of shlock. We, as human beings have the right, yeah, even the responsibility to stand up and say... "The world... is Shlock!." Scream it at the top of your lungs, at that dark, taunting, mid-night sky. "I own you world, your pitiful Shlock can't have me!" As emphasized in the ever so classic Beatles song we must shout out, "I am the Eggman. We are the Walrus. Gook-Gook-Ga-Chew, Gook-Gook-Ga-Chew!" While a catch phraseto to the untrained American ear, to a native Brit it means... "I'm here world. I've got your number. Shlock is what you are, and Shlock is what you'll be... And one of these days this Shlock is gonna walk all over you!" ...Advise you say? In a world full of Shlock, advise comes bountifully, but benificial advise is where the shlock adjust and becomes a useful, hard-working, loyal citizen... and this is the advise he(the hard working, loyal, citizen) would give you... "Don't let your genious become Shlock. Shlock it, and let your genious become you."
