Today was a mundane task day. For example, uploading my c.d. collection to my lappie. It's shit sad when you wake up to organize material posessions. I'm fairly sure I've lost my mind. $100 and a kiss to the person who can find it for me.... Read More
thank you for commenting in my journal - you said many things which I am now thinking of and tranlsating into my own mind. i don't know if that makes sense...
I once lived with a guy named Mouhammed Abu Asakar. He was from Gaza, Palestine. The way he talked about world peace, you'd think it was tangible, like bread. He believed in peace because he knew the terror of war. This guy was truly dedicated to a peaceful society in the Isreali-Palestinian region.
Can you imagine being dedicated to a peaceful world?... Read More
You are right of course.
The problem is that I feel too many people want an easy ride but are unwilling to see what facilitates that ride.
The answer of course is that their easy ride is facilitated by other people's suffering.
Unfortunately this is as much how democracy works as any other system of government.
If everybody was to realise how capilatism works (IE through oppression of those less well off (generally overseas) and maniupulation of consumers) it would quickly die and be replaced by a better system.
But people like capitalism because it removes the guilt clause by dressing it up as something it isn't.
Its run on desire rather than fear and unlike fear, desire is a tough nut to crack.
Wish I knew the solution. Everyone becoming monks?
There's respect here and there.
Not much tho. Admittedly its mostly ego.
Except in south east asia and places like that, it seems.
Manipulation only leads to pain in the end- I think Yoda said something like that.
But most people do it so really you've got to look at intentions rather than actions- if your overiding intention is to hurt people, that's something to feel bad about, if the intention is something else, well then its a little different.
Don't take my word for any of this shit tho
I'm feeling specist. Like racist but for the human species. In the words of Nirvana, "Everyone is gay." So profound. Is every one really gay? Or maybe just a little? Does that mean everyone is a little asexual? Or a little pansexual?
Most of what I hear these days irritates me to point of amusement or amuses... Read More
My thing was books. Cheap books were better. The best were cheap books on subjects I found only remotely interesting. It was a fetish because I almost never read them the whole way through.
To be occupied with something was the goal.
Why do I blog? Seriously, is it compulsive tummy starring? Obsessive exihibitionism?
I've just opened three moving boxes full of... Read More
Am I the only person who feels movies are just fancy commercials that I pay to see?
Every movie I go to seems to be a vehicle for desire. All the characters are built, attractive people I would like to sleep with. They all drive the latest model suv/most expensive vehicle appropriate to character development.
Desire is innately unsatisfactory. There is no reward for indulging... Read More
What you think manifests in your reality, I swear!
Thoughts are like children.
I don't know how to say this without sounding looney but
try thinking positively one day.
when you think something negative, say literally "Negative thought, I am experimenting today. I will think you tomorrow if you come back but today I am thinking only positive thoughts."
There is a voice that haunts me...
(starting a blog with a overly dramatic line like that does not bode well.)
A friend of mine had this exquisite voice, smooth like twilight. She wasn't a great actress, fairly neurotic, left her good senses at the end (then again most of us did). BUT hot damn, what a voice! Easy on the eyes too.
Thanks for the compliment!
I hope your fantasy comes true, i'd be interested to know what beethoven would think of the music today and what he would compose if he were alive now.....
I like this post.
