Superglue for my thoughts

Posted on December 10, 2010 by Author

21 days to go! It finally begins – the countdown to the official launch of Void. What have I been doing all this time, what have I been thinking about? Well, here are things that I may or may not have posted in the past couple months.

Science books – physics books, brain science, biology… I always have at least one of these types of books handy at all times, no matter where I am. I’m always at science lectures or researching a theory based on the knowledge I have obtained. There is nothing more pleasurable to me than having the knowledge to share with others!

Music – putting my tastes together. I really never realize what I listen to and when I’m asked I’m stumped. I listen to so much that nothing actually sticks out. I can only name things based on what I know the asker may be aware of. I now often listen to my own music player because I finally have a ton of good songs that I always listen to in one location.

Art! I do a lot of art but never hang on to much. There are so many paintings that are in storage or given away with no pictures of them. I always believed that art can never be priced and am often confused as the value on any type of art. Therefore I leave art, as I have always done, as an expression of great power. I can never sell art, for how can I tell how much it is actually worth?

Packing… this dreaded thing… gathering all the equipment I need, the laptops, the camera, the art supplies, the 45L camping bag, the sleeping bag, the solar powered chargers, the immunizations, the visas, researching flight prices, researching hostel prices, updating the site with all the new travel plans, programming the site, helping the plugin programmers develop their code better (for my benefit of course haha), organizing thoughts to even begin developing the site, spending time with friends before they see me off, spending time with my cats before I long to return to them again, living lost moments that needed to be reopened or closed off for good, helping those in need – be it animals or humans, saying goodbye to favorite sights and sounds, getting used to not using hairspray, getting used to not relying on the comforts of home, getting used to not relying on the fact I will not be in any location that is familiar to me, reorganizing my computer drives and web server in preparation… what else?

So much more – so I leave it to this song. Here is what has been on my mind lately, summing it up, to start the 3 week countdown.

Melpo Mene – To Be Someone  Lyrics

On the flipside this is awful
I see my notes turning into clichés
And I hate it when I’m deep
It wears me out and my feelings are flat

The last day

Posted on December 8, 2010 by Author

In memory of John Lennon’s life I have uploaded a song that Mitch has specially picked out for this day.

“John Lennon was transcendent, he never limited himself to just being a Beatle. Instead he elected to become a complete member of the human race. Imagine is a song whose words offer an inspirational and hopeful remedy to the sometimes cruel realities of this life.”
– Mitch

John Lennon – #9 Dream  Lyrics

Pfft, everything is gray to me

Posted on December 7, 2010 by Author

The phrase “playing the race card” came from many origins… I am amazed that certain members of society use it and believe that it is good logic! Everyone and everything spouts how we are all the same inside regardless of how we look on the outside – we are all equals. So, how is society really making this believable when they then portray how different we all are, how different we all should be treated? A good example is the OJ Simpson case that my indulgences have brought me to.

Roger Simon in The Daily Herald, October 1995:
“Why was playing the race card necessary in order for O. J. Simpson to go free? Because it was the only way for the defense to deal with the massive physical evidence against him.”

Does society think of this as it is OK to do this? Or that it is wrong to play the trump card which really has no meaning in the values that are supposed to be instilled in us since birth?

Am I considered racist for even mentioning this? …I’ve had outlandish remarks from the post about smoking. I want to make one thing clear – I do not promote in others to do anything that I post. What I post is meant to make you think, to make you investigate on your own an alternate reality to what you are accustomed to. The biggest problem I see in people is that even if given ample evidence to support the fact that their ideas are wrong – they immediately discard such valuable evidence. How about we “think outside the box” and open our minds to more than one possibility?

Well, then again, I’m asking too much of people. It doesn’t matter in the long run if you agree with me or not for the simple fact that either outcome is simply of no importance to me. These are the things I do not dwell on during the day because it will not guide me to be a better person if I continue to think about what I can do to trump everyone else. I would rather think about how I can prove my abilities without forcing others into submission by surface fronts. Therefore, I bypass this system of surface differences and only speak of evidence relating to the inner common core of people. It is always such however, even in the case of OJ, the evidence still does not always stand up to the race card.
