The previous entry was the begining of an effort to reawaken my mind. I feel that every since I left home for the navy bits of my brain die on a daily basis. I am am not saying i regret joining. I need it. It changed me in many good ways. And i also think they everyone in the country should be willing to defend it. And I and proud that I was able to show everyone I was willing. I am not however proud of my government and the way it shit all over us. IT sort of like defending your girlfriend nearly to the death and then having her shit on your face and tell you that you are worth nothing. Bu t I digress.
My mind has been put to sleep some how; through boredom most likly. So I made a pact with myself to do somthing on a daily basis that forces me to use my brain in a less then static manner. And for the moment this seems to be a rather nice place for it.
Initium.
Thomas Paine said in his article ' The Age of Reason', My own mind is my own church. I have said that myself without realizing that I was only quoting a founding father. The only god I can completely belive in is the one inside myself. No I am not calling myself god. Well not in a cock self richious sort of way. I think everyone is their own god(or goddess.). If there is some sort of divine being out there with some form of a conscience, it/he/she/they are siting back and enjoying the show. I cannot think of a single reason why that energy would create all this life and set all these rules on how things interact and then confine that life into some cage and give it a certain path to walk on with no room for chance. It would just seem like a waste of time. The only path anything or anyone may be forced to walk was built by themselves. It is a path of reactions. Something happens. You react. You have a bad day and loose your job. You now have to choose. Do I cry and whine about how I wont make it and how things are going to be so hard and I dont know how I will feed my kids. Or do I fight back and never stop. Bam. You reacted and YOU created another road to follow. Think about that.
This was a good start I think. Ether that or I just have not slept in 48 hours and I am about to crash.
