Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.

Mother Teresa

Happy New Year!!!

Current state: enjoying the calm before the storm. :-P

I hope everyone had a fun filled holiday. I did!! I spend it skating, reading, spending time with friends and family, learning to play the piano (thanks to Seeka), and of course eating.

btw. if you get a chance to watch Collapse take it. Collapse will change the way to see the world and more importantly how you will see the future.

Education is the key for prevention of HIV/AIDS! Pass on this message people.

I was asked to added these videos to the k-net media site. This is a very scary subject and I think thats why its always silenced.

As a society we are bombarded with sexually exploit images, take for instance any music video. They portray this idealistic party life now listen to Doris's interview. Reality and what the media portrays are entirely two different things. After watching them I would highly suggest you all watching them too.

I was thinking about how the internet is actually nothing. It is nothing tangible. Yet to some people its everything. Yes I see the irony in posting a thought like this on the internet.

I saw this poster that read "art school ruined my graffiti". I like the thought that most education systems teach people to think all alike. They discourage originality and celebrate mediocrity. They tell us that in order to break the rules we need to know them first. I suppose its like everything, take what you want and leave the rest.

I am not a huge fan of the Hip (that totally made me unhip to call them the Hip I realize) however there is one song I like called Springtime in Vienna.Scroll down and have a listen. Tragically Hip live :-) I've always harbored a favoritism towards live recordings. It must be the authentic, unrehearsed rhythm of the song that makes it unlike the studio produced version. Unrehearsed in the sense that there is little room for error. I often find myself lost in the music, contemplating what it would be like to orchestrate and compose these songs. Fascinating and very admirable.

Alright! Alright! Geez. lol. I've decided to write about the most possitive aspects of the world. I am going to turn over a new leaf as it were. :-) <--- see that..thats a smile dammit!! lol.

Only in conflict and deprivation from our wants do we gain the greater understanding necessary to greet and coop with lifes teachings. The pain and misery of ones own betrayal owes no remorse. The punishment we administer to ourselves for past wrongs hinders each residing moment and self contentment is lost. Embrace the finer fruits of life's labors before the fruit turns bitter and rancid from decay.

The irony of happiness is we live in a world where we will be punished for having it.

I added Guns N' Roses November Rain. I thought it rather fitting considering the weather.

Tom Petty - Kings highway

When the time gets right
I'm gonna pick you up
And take you far away
Fro m trouble my love
Under a big old sky
Out in a field of green
There's gotta be something
Left for us to believe

Oh, I await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we'll ride down the King's Highway
Yeah Yeah

N o you can't hide out
In a six gun town
We want to hold our heads up
But we gotta stay down
I don't want to end up
In a room all alone
Don't want to end up someone
That I don't even know

Lover I await the day
Good f ortune comes our way
And we'll ride down the King's Highway
Yeah Yeah

Lover I await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we'll ride down the King's Highway
Yeah Yeah

I am not Mr.Current Affairs when it comes to new music but I added a song called "true love way" by Kings of Leon I really enjoy.

Sadly, only when you show a man his doom will he mend his ways. It seems that we always wait for the last minute to change our ways. Why don't we be proactive? For me change always occurs a minute too late, yet it does arrives.

"Have you ever considered any real freedoms? Freedoms from the opinion of others... even the opinions of yourself?" Kurtz - Apocalypse Now

I read that your brain uses 30% of its capacity occupied with what other people think about you. So stop caring what other people think and you'll free up 30% of your mental energy. Easier said then done enit..even as I write this I am wondering who is reading this, what do you think, what will you think..well you know what?!?!...LOL

Have you ever thought to yourself "when is my life going to begin?" As tho you're waiting for something to trigger the start of your life. Like there is some magical piece eluding you from finishing lifes puzzle? I used to all the time until it occured to me that life is now. It sure isn't in tomorrow and sure as shit aint in yesterday. well dammit all..seize the NOW! There is a book called the "the power of now" that i have yet to read. Here is a story that accentuates my point:

"First i was dying to finish my high school & start college. then i was drying to finish college & start working. then i was drying to marry & have children. and then i was dying for my children to grow old enough so i could go back to work. but then i was drying to retire. and now i am dying...and i realized i forgot to live."


Oct 26

I added an old cheech and chong song..check it out.

I was thinking that when it comes to lifes and all its experiences..the older you are the less you have to lose.

Here are a few more random thoughts...

love and hate fuels the fires of both passion and remorse
we were never meant to live this type of life. we were born to be wild. we are animals, nothing more.

There is no doubt in my mind we are the love generation. as was the generation before us. as will the one that follows.

Bob Sinclar : Love Generation Lyrics

"Why must our children play in the street,
With broken arms and faded dreams,
These all's up to everyone that you meet,
Don't you worry, it could be so sweet,
Just look to the rainbow, you will see
Sun will shine till eternity,
I've got so much love in my heart,
No-one can tear it apart,
Yeah,

Be the love generation,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Be the love generation,
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon LOVE!,

Don't worry about a thing,
It's gonna be alright"

Love cures people — both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.Karl Menninger

Yesterday I realized that the word much less the act of humility hasn't entered my life as of late. "A living thing desires above all else to vent its strength. life as such is will to power - : self preservation is only one of the indirect and most frequent consequence if it." Friedrich Nietzche.

The Tea Party - Temptation

"We exist in a world where the fear of Illusion is real
And we cling to the past to deny and confuse the ideal
Once inside, we can conceive and believe in a god we can't feel"

I spent the evening constructing the lego Millennium Falcon with Jaylynn. Shes never watched the Star Wars movies yet so I quickly showed her. She thought it was cool.

A very big Happy Birthday my sister Kanina, love you.

"had a dream I invented a device that would make me millions, now I can't remember the dream" - my own FML..LOL

I just came back to add an all time classic - "where is my mind"

Sept 30

A great big Happy Birthday to my god-daugther Mya!!

I was reading about God last night and I came across this which was interesting. "An absence of proof is not proof of absence".


Sept 29

I just heard that "No book in the whole world can teach you how to feel, you gotta figure that out for yourself." Wow, back to square one.

Good morning. I've been listening to Collective Soul new album.Check out one of the songs called "Staring Down".

"my low-self esteem is at an all time high" - a line from Transformers 2 that cracked me up.

Here is another song By David Guette called One Love, awesome!

Its so easy to judge someone until you're in their situation.

I think that "we hope when we don't want to admit the obvious."

I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind

Sept 25

Well what turned out to be a fishing tripped, turned into an overnight camping trip has morphed into a camping/fishing/hunting trip. Can't wait to be in the bush, sleep on some earth, and breathe the fresh crisp air.

btw I watched  Pink's "Please don't leave me" video and thought it was perhaps the most romantic dam thing that i ever did see :-P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9yay4PX0OA

Walking on a dream by Empire Of The Sun (below)

Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one

I thought when you quit smoking you're suppose to feel better instead my lungs hurt like hell.


Sept 23

Good afternoon,

the only place this world makes any sense is on the water.

"And although my eyes were open, They might have just as wellve been closed" A Whiter shade of pale.

Good morning. Its rather humbling to know that as an individual we are only one out of six billion. Children have the best insight into the world beyond any of us. Their minds haven't been polluted with the garbage that we've all be exposed too. Their logic is sound. For example I was making french toast this morning when I told JL that my stomach hurt. Soon after as i was preparing to eat more when Jaylynn asked" if your stomach hurts, why are you eating more?" perfect logic. lol. Its like smoking or drinking, why do it when we pay for it later, yet we do anyways. No logic.

I've been reading "Conversations with GOD" by Neale Donald Walsch. Its rather interesting. Naturally I am skeptical but its interesting none the less. Original sin sparked my curiosity.

btw I've added a song called Uprising by Muse...check it out


Sept 20

Sitting down by the waters edge reading Gandhi. I have much to learn.

"One man cannot do right in one department of life whilst he occupied in doing wrong in any other department. Life is one indivisible whole"

"All of your scholarships, all your study of Shakespeare and Wordsworth would be vain if at the same time you did not build your character and attain mastery over your thoughts and your actions." - Mahatma Gandhi

Sept 17

I am trying...wait..trying only leads to failure, don't try..DO..I AM quitting smoking. "Gotta be positive dude". I've smoked for a number of years now and its caused me nothing but awesomeness...LOL...jk. Its truly a filthy habit. I've been watching anit smoking commercials on youtube to deter me, its seems to be working.

"Women's faults are many
Men have only two
Everything they say
And everything they do"

"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be hap...py is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down." - Woody Allen, Love and Death

We all have to suffer in order reach the other side. As i once heard "life is hell then you die". I was also reminded of another quote "life is love, if you miss love you miss life". There is a difference between ignorance and seeing the light only to turn from it. What if I told you life was a heaping pile of meaningless random acts of chaos at which point we all end up at the same place? That there is no heaven and hell, that all of the suffering we endure throughout life is our own personal hell. Perhaps this is hell, Earth. "long is the way, and hard that out of hell leads to light" -  John Milton.

Yet we are all destine for a meaning, a greater purpose,and that destiny is beset before each of us. All we are required to do is to live life in harmony with everyone & everything. I also read a quote yesterday that made more sense to me personally "One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry". Oscar Wilde. but i was also thinking over the weekend that "love is like gravity, without it we'd float away".

Soooooo incooooncluuuusssssion Mr.Big from Sex in the City rules ;)
