Don’t Miss the Point

Anyone interested in a reflective moment?
No? Too bad it’s my site!
Watch (and listen to) this short animation inspired by Alan Watts.
Bet you can’t guess who produced it!

Think Like…a Website?

If you spend any time in the blogosphere, you’ll notice people getting new blog themes, new designs, and whatever other new-improved blah blah blah you can find.
I noticed something about this wave of new designs…
…they look like websites!
Yes, I know blogs ARE websites.
What I mean is they have evolved to a point where more useful [...]

Double D’s Please

Life not working out as well as you planned?
The Man got you down?
Define what it is you really want and point yourself in that direction.
That’s it. Now go get your D’s on.

The Hate

roll on down the road
keep the tears out of your eyes
there are much worse things that happen
so this should be no big surprise
i’m not a prophet, a philosopher
a mind reading intellect
i don’t have all the answers
all i try is to be of the best
hearts torn in two
what can i do?
fury fills my heart
only thing holding [...]

Closed for the Day

straight to the head
the vial
poison killing
insecure insane
right away
don’t know
hating the moments
the feeling of loneliness
but not wanting togetherness
just stay lonely
like a boxed up animal
ready to be shipped
lying to me
pretending to care
but whats in my best interests
are so obviously where
they are not and yours do flourish
self-absorbed and greedy
you don’t speak the truth
you wish you didn’t have to [...]

The World, Awake in Our Eyes

i’m what they call love
now show me the beauty
i cant feel what others can
not far from watching movies
twisted fiction into fear
that fear is fact and fictions near
retracing steps none needed be
come crossing passing highway scenes
not supposed to show whats their-
-holy hope is never where
should be finding founded slopes
math is it and so are we
interpretation’s highly [...]

Somethin Hope

you can’t feel what i feel
bring yourself in my life
no closer to the truth
it takes the pain away
but buries the blues
can’t find the words to describe
the way that you’re feeling
i can see you can’t hide
but as hard as i try
i cant take it away
nothing ever will
no one ever can say
oh i’ve been there before
its no [...]

Keep Up and On

i don’t want to see anyone
anyone broken holed up like a rotted coca cola
burnin trees on your knees
fuck the world and its disease
dying inside and outsides not
it stays alive to work and fought
for the better
but in the worse
the death the dying the hatred, the curse
the feeling of never wanting
never wanted and never will be
never listened?
listened [...]

I Cry

i cry
for all the children left alone
theres no justice in this world
for all the boys and little girls
theres never been a place better off for them
but home is not the place that’s offered them
keeping things and secrets kept
under the rug the lies are swept
never understanding
the parents keep pretending
quiet and inside they keep
knowing but never try [...]

I Want a 24″ Monitor, So Sue Me!

 CASH for COMMENTS is holding a sneaky bastard blogging contest to get paid a free 24″ wide screen LCD monitor.
The contest is being sponsored by Elite Baseball Instruction dot Com which gives baseball training videos in hitting, pitching, infield defense, and outfield playing.

Empty Alone

empty alone
nobody home
but me
empty inside
eating me alive
stopping soon
dont like this room
slowly glowing
potential showing
feeling surges
hell bent on change
empty equals out
inside equals hate
hate is too strong
for what is what fate?
fate doesnt matter
when you are sitting alone
turned off the ringer
of the little black fone
thoughts so abstract
but feelings nonetheless
coming together
bringing out the best
i soon suspect
that less is more less [...]

My Guide to the Undiscovered Mind

Sometimes it takes me days to snap out of it. One time, it even took a whole year.
I wake in the morning, midmorning really, and find myself unsure of why I continue. Food is on my mind, hunger down below.
I step outside my box, I breathe the air. The sun feels good, although it does [...]

Elitist Bastard: Defined

An elitist bastard is someone who discovers something cool, unique or helpful before the mainstream does.
Elitist bastards pride themselves in discovering these great things, and love to brag about how they know about stuff that most people don’t know about.
An elitist bastard often has self-esteem issues that prevent them from feeling good about themselves without [...]

You Cannot See Past the Choices You Do Not Understand

You don’t like your job and everything you’ve applied for has come up nil. What can you do to change that?
Things like location, resume, cover letter, skills, credentials, social network, scope of search and the presentation of all of the above affect this. Consider each and what it might mean to you.
Feeling like you do [...]

So, You Don’t Like Your Job?

So, you don’t like your job? That’s very uncommon. Most people do. Haha.
Understand what it is: money, ‘credentials’, validation (a little or a lot), opportunity.
Money: helps with your basic survival and luxuries (however large or small they may be).
Credentials: could mean you can get that next job easier, it could mean you get looked at [...]

So I Said to Her

Your positive growth will begin with this: believing in the fact that you can change, you can better yourself and that there is a better future ahead for you…
…the future you want (or at least close to it)!
You must believe that you can do better and you can fix things. If you do not believe [...]

Do Realtors Kick Ass?

I would say some do, yes.

The Art of Understanding

I seek to understand.
All my life I’ve been trying to understand. Everything.
I’ve been trying to understand simple things like radios and walkmans and more complex things, like relationships and human behaviour in general.
In most situations, I don’t follow the normal route of action or reaction, because I want to understand its insides and unbiased results [...]

John Chow Helps You See Better

Say again?
John Chow is giving away a 24″ wide screen LCD monitor.
LCD monitors are much easier on your eyes when compared to CRT monitors. As well, the larger screen size means you don’t have to lean in so close to read!
My eyes aren’t so good as it is, so winning this monitor would greatly improve [...]

Why You Rarely Speak the Truth

I think the answer may lie in your inability to distinguish the true emotions from the false emotions. (I’m not accusing you of anything, merely speculating.)
Of course, both are real responses, but the fundamentals of each are very different.
For example: a basic emotion such as fear can exist, without prejudice. The emotion exists, and it [...]

Your Conscious Mind vs. Your Subconscious Mind

Your subconscious mind allows you to live freely. It allows you to feel like there is something wonderful going on. It is your unencumbered thought and imagination.
Your conscious mind acts as your security, your monitor, your public relations person. Things you are good at, passionate about, they become harder to get to as your conscious [...]

Imagination vs. Intelligence, And The Young Conscious Mind

When we are children we have open minds. Our minds are impressionable and limitless.
That magical feeling you got when you watched science fiction (believing it could be real) or Peter Pan, flying (knowing you could do it with some practice) is the young conscious mind at work.
The young conscious mind is not-so set in its [...]

Learn to Think Like They Do at Think Like Them dot Com!

The human race has accomplished so much compared to what it typically agrees it can accomplish. The general consensus is that we can accomplish ‘only so much’ and that we are limited.
Who are these anomalies in life, these people who exceedingly surpass all typical human beliefs while moving our entire world forward? What was [...]
