    The feelings behind this thought collection represent the full range of human emotion and thirteen years of words written... They are meant to simply be and at the same time challenge the reader to see that which might not be obvious...

      Thirty-3 - Ryan Lessard

      Acknowledgements

      This is where I say thank you to all the people who have put up with my insanity for all these years including but not limited to my constant rambles about many subjects and questions about pretty much everything. I need to mostly thank my family who has always been there for me no matter what craziness has come into my life. These are my random thoughts and I would like to thank you all for reading them.

      Prologue

      "When you drop a turntable needle on the groove of a record, you start a journey into another world. With the speed set at 33 and 1/3, you hear the music exactly as you should. Perfect pitch, sound, and speed. Only when you start to move the pitch control on the turntable up and down, do you start to hear the music in new and exciting ways. The random thoughts and poetry in this book, are like using the pitch control in your brain. Ryan Lessard’s words push you to think about life without any filters. Following his first two books Beginning from the End and Drop It: Operation Leave Gravity Alone, Ryan Lessard returns to the literary scene like an outlaw riding into an old western town at sunset, no holds barred and guns blazing. He is a true poet who’s soulful words orbit around your mind like planets in the solar system. Unafraid to confront his emotions, Ryan Lessard takes you through a kaleidoscope of pain and joy, and turns black and white nightmares into Technicolor dreams. To live through personal life struggles, despair, rebirth, and triumph is one thing, but to have the courage to turn those trials into a book for the world to read is something else. With Thirty-3, Ryan Lessard truly proves he is the future of poetry. Beat Generation mixed with a B-Boy stance and a Nice Fro! "
