  1. Go(o)d and (D)Evil, Part 2

    I think there has been a universal misconception between "good" and "evil" and the ultimate incarnations of this, which is God and the Devil. In our time humanity has been exposed to both individual and grand scale forms of human wickedness as well as human benevolence. Whenever these things happen they are labeled as extraordinary and we are led to attribute such things to a God or Devil. But I believe the important thing is to swat these illusions and pay attention to what you feel. You...
  2. The Quarantine of Information and Imagination

    I was taking to someone who was not from this country (United States) and was visiting here from another place. This was a real treat, but bittersweet. They told me how, from the outside looking in, American's are being continuously misled about world news. How their own News stations, media, and the like seem to purposefully undermine, alter, or ignore important facts and events in the world and in their own nation. Things that are seen plainly by everyone outside of the nation. They...
  3. Nuclear Weapons (opinion)

    I was kinda wondering about the whole American stance on nuclear weapons thing. You know...how we have this thing where we tell a nation that does not do what we want them doing whether or not they can have nuclear weapons or not. First question is...why is it a crime for a country to have a nuclear weapon? It's common sense for a nation to have self-defense. Certainly no one else is going to do it for them. he UN is merely a reflection of the leading world powers who all couldn't care if...
  4. Ignorance

    Ignorant: misinformed, uninformed Where do you get your information? Is it information or were you told what to believe? Is it possible to be highly informed on misinformation and disinformation; highly knowledgeable of erroneous data? Therefore, how can you tell the wise from the ignorant? How do you know you, yourself, are not ignorant calling another a fool? Time does not tell. Not always...
  5. Lotto

    Some time ago someone invented a golden stick on a rope and called it Lotto. They then held it up over the population and watched them reach for it. The idea is simple. People will pay for just the chance to become rich. The greater the riches, the greater the temptation, the more they pay. Of course, this effect is not as strongly felt among the more well-to-do parts of society than it is in the poor society. To the poor, the lotto is a shining beacon of hope. A dream within arms reach...or...
  6. 4 Things About Pink Slime

    ATTACK OF THE PINK SLIIIIIME!!! 4 Things To Note 1. All those companies that recalled the pink slime from their products...they ONLY did so because they were found out. Think about that. It's not like they didn't know what kind of meat they were buying; dirt cheap dog-food spin-off. They definitely knew they were screwing you over when they did it and they did not care. Between you and saving a buck, Buck won the bid. 2. How long were they doing this? Yes, the discovery of pink slime...
  7. The Root Cause of Evil

    What is the root of all evil. Religion? War? Money? "Bad social systems" like dictatorship, facism, whatever? Actually, none of these things are inherently evil in themselves. They can be used for extraordinary evil just as much as they can be used for extraordinary good. When you are looking for the root of all evil, you are looking for the root cause of all evil. And that would be people. Not all people are evil, some say. I agree...at a given time. But all people are easily capable of...
  8. Our Virtual Living

    You don't need to think fantasy to see a hidden world beneath the "real" one. Beneath all things real there is the aesthetic. Beneath that, the hypothesized, and beneath that the purely imagined or speculated based on what exists. Because no imagination creates a thing out of the blue. All is based on a fragmented, chimeric reorganizing of known information- unconsciously or subconsciously- by our brains. If you combine all the aesthetic, the emotional, the symbolic, the hypothetical, and...
  9. People :P

    I think one of my strongest suits in writing is that I am able to empathize with people and I am a good observer of people...self-titled, I suppose. I, of course, have found that some people cn be glanced right from the surface while others need a little probing. Judging people by their emotions can be confusing but you can never go wrong with estimating their actions. Whatever they say, think, feel, or whatever someone else may say about them, their actions over a period of time provide the...
  10. First Workout In A While...

    So...because the weather was getting better and I was feeling a little bit sluggish I decided to go outside and workout a bit. Mind you, just the day before that I felt like I was in pretty good shape. Felt like I could run as fast as I wanted to when I wanted to or do whatever level exertion I felt like. But...I barely made it twice around a quarter-mile track. My lungs were flares and my muscles were drained. My push-ups were cut by half and my sit-ups were more like death twitches. I...
  11. The Occult and Mysticism

    I find the occult and mysticism really engaging subjects. It's like a subtle game you play with your mind, your emotions, and your senses, delicately weaving reality with illusion, infusing mystery into clarity. It takes the world and makes a tantalizing puzzle that only gets deeper and deeper the more you try to solve it. Why? Because soon, you begin to add to the creation of the world you've been drawn into. Completely taken, you switch one reality for the next. Isn't this the exact same...

  12. Information and Illusion

    I think I'm going to try and spend much more time reading blogs and writing those on my thoughts. Perhaps we can get a sort of Round Table going where we can discuss these things. I always have a political bend or some philosophic mumbo. If that interests you and you care to wade through one persons funneled thinking, enjoy. There was once a thing called knowledge, learning, and discovery. These things are gone... Today, people are taught that information is all around them. That one...
  13. Call Me Crazy...

    Call Me Crazy...But as I am prone to do, I was looking over some things about the 9/11 incident. Remember the fourth plane that went down? All the other planes hit there target. The fourth was found over Pennsylvania. Reports say that the passengers overcame the terrorists and...crashed the plane? Why would they do that if they overcame the terrorists. IF they could. If the gained control of the cabin they would have been easily able to lock themselves out of it. There was no way for the...
  14. The Monster In the Little Girl

    I was lonely before I was lost before the dusk before that day when strangers took my family away walking through my home rushing from room to room they left me alive only to spite me. I'm still lonely, but I am angry the thought of my parents pains me The intruder's touch stains me and I could never break free So I kill to kill what's inside of me something far down where none can see. It was thus how they saw me when they opened the door rocking back and forth a ghost...
  15. What Is Necessary In A Writer

    I wonder as a writer is it necessary to be secretive. To be communicative, surely, but about your personal inspirations, motivations, ideas, and the ambitions of your particular story, you remain private and withdrawn. Though it seems a bit dark, is it impossible to believe you may one day find your ideas, once discussed, written in another's ink in another's book somewhere? I stopped talking about "the big story I'm working on" because while I always wish I could openly talk about it and...
