War & Depression

My country, the United States of America, decided to go to war, and now we are paying the price. It seems to me, my country is making a personal issue a world-wide affair. Do people NOT understand that we are suffering a depression because of war? Do they not know that our oil prices are high because the people that control that commodity are bitter with us? The Europeans are suffering, as well. I do not hear much about other countries suffering, though. Maybe it is because my country is ethno-centric. Who knows? But, what I DO know is that we are now paying the price of an action that was committed almost a decade ago.

 

Maybe it was what was wanted from the enemy. They knew where to hit, and they know how we would respond. Maybe we should have done something better to have overcome the situation we are all in now. But no, the United States’ President Bush decided to send troops and “take care of business” on the other side of the globe.

 

The United States will NEVER appease those that we call an enemy and neither will they give in to those that seemingly have more power in certain arenas. It will never happen. Take it as a good thing, or a bad thing. The point is, Imperialism is a thing of the past. Or, maybe the answer is having better leaders in place, instead of having leaders that take on personal agendas. President Bush made a mistake and now the citizens of the United States are paying for those mistakes, while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Words of Advice – Getting Along

get along with each other in this world and in this lifetime. at the end of the day.. war brings heartache. strife brings pain and arguments bring nothing. choose your battles wisely. you may think that you are winning and that at the end of the day everything is ok. but it isn’t. someone out there is being affected by the turmoil. drama brings nothing. it brings a lot of nothing. who wants nothing in this world? this world is too precious to bring nothing to the table.

i want happiness. i want peace. i want serenity. i do not like negative words nor negativity. i do everything i can to dispel that from my life. i do not have time for petty & childish games from anyone. i have too many great things to accomplish to have people around me mess up my tranquility.

word of advice.. get along. if no one gets along.. then leave me be. i would much rather just be left alone in my peaceful existence than have people around me sh*t all over it.

word of advice.. get along. things are not gonna change. if you do not start to get along, people will notice and not want anything to do with you. trust me.

word of advice.. get along. if you don’t start to get along and start treating each other as people instead of animals.. then you will never get the things in life that you want the most. life is not about a power trip, nor a play. it’s not like that at all.

MY WORDS OF ADVICE: GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER AND THERE SHALL BE PEACE, LOVE, UNITY & RESPECT [FOR ONE ANOTHER]

Unforeseen Things Happen

Written on Thursday, March 20, 2008 at 7:04pm

things that cannot be controlled happen to everyone. no matter what religion, beliefs, values, or goodness someone holds.. things just happen. it’s life. aka.. reality. don’t chalk it up to karma.. it’s not karma. and if it is karma.. then you should know what bad things you have been doing in the past. aside from that, though.. things just happen. the best you can do is just take it in stride.. let things be.. and handle them. no point in letting the spilled milk sour your day. it spilled.. accept it.. clean it up.. and drink another cup.
have fun.. live life.. and don’t go thinking that just because you do plenty of good things it means that you should be exempt from the unpredictable. the best that can happen… we bounce back stronger than ever.
enjoy*

sustenance for the mind

Written on Monday, March 17, 2008 at 10:42am

Here are some words that are shared and are up for grabs and can be used as sustenance for the mind.

life is about living, obviously. it’s more than likely that it is your life. although, there are lives out there that are governed by an authority. it can be a positive one.. or a negative one. for those that are under a lot of negativity.. the best that can be done is the sharing of some positive vibes that can hopefully make their lives a bit lovelier. for those that are under the bless-ed goodness of a pleasant life.. the best that can be done BY THEM is the sharing of good vibes so that others around them can prosper and grow as individuals to lead a prosperous life.
it’s disheartening seeing others at a disadvantage. it pains seeing a car broken down on the highway. as ugly as it may seem.. and as mis-taken-care-of as it may be seen.. they are people, too. no one likes to be put in situations where we are helpless. snide comments about their physical state of being is uncalled for.. and.. honestly.. it’s not a place where they can be judged. the judging that should be taking place is when negative situations arise before our eyes. that is when the first stone should be cast. others do not know what goes on in the daily lives of others. we just see.. but nothing is known.
even when everything is known to eye and to the mind.. it still does not give the right for judgement to take place. plain and simple.. we are not god.. A god.. a superior being.. or anything that powerful. we are human beings. if anything.. sad to say (if you want to be pissy about it).. we need to concern ourselves with our own personal business and take care of those that we genuinely love.
the funny thing is though.. a genuine person will also see the hate and despair that surrounds them on a day to day basis. and.. with their generosity and sincerity.. they will take it up themselves to see that everyone.. regardless of race, age, sex, orientation, WHATEVER.. is at the very least… HAPPY.

Striving for Accomplishment

Written on Tuesday, April 15, 2008

no matter how hard life may be.. someone will always be there to catch you. the only thing that holds you back are your actions. the golden rule. live it to the fullest. just like carpe diem. do something shady.. something will mess up your flow and it all goes down the drain. do good… and you will be rewarded with all the riches you have ever wanted.

karma will always prevail*

Written on Wednesday, April 30, 2008

it’s a bit difficult to strive for achievement and actually be successful. it takes a lot of risk and courage to jump into the unknown and THINK that you are going to come out alive. all you can really do is hope for the best and wish that you make it. it’s either hit or miss. for those times that you miss.. just pick it up and do it all over again. don’t complain. more times than not.. you’re in a position that others envy.

it seems that a lof of people are not satisfied with their lives. they are always wishing that they were in the other person’s shoes and/or living another life. take control of what is your’s! no point in dreading the unattainable and wishing that something that does not belong to you was your’s. there’s no use. you were given that life for a reason. either you messed it all up for yourself.. or you earned it. but you were not given that life for no plain reason. spiritual person or not… everyone makes life what it is.. not a creator.

Crossroads

I feel like I’m at a crossroads. There are many times and places that I wish I was at right now. There are a lot of things that I want to do with my life, too. And.. the funny thing is.. I know i can excel at anything I put my mind to. The question is though.. what do i like to do? And what will feed my hunger and desire to want to keep doing it day after day for a good chunk of my life? I know I’ll have some sort of career change in life, but.. in all honesty… i’d prefer not to. I want to find something I love to do and die doing it. I want die knowing that I was one of the best, if not THE Best, at whatever it is I was doing for my whole life.

 

I just want something that I will make me feel accomplished and allow me to fall asleep at nite with a happy and satisfied heart.

 

I’m stuck with deciding to continue my psychology education.. or.. I could further myself in the writing arena. Both those areas are satisfying. I enjoy psychology and the role it has on the human being.. it fascinates me. In the end.. we’re just smart animals. It could lead me to great and extraordinary things. Then there’s also writing. I could end being an editor of a magazine/newspaper. I could be given the opportunity pen my thoughts on paper and have others read and remember them for the rest of their lives. I could create poetry and masterpieces that [I wish] could be on par with Aristotle and Socrates. The choices are endless and those are the two passions in my life. I just don’t know what I want to do.

 

I live in a society that expects the person to make their decisions quick and correct. Society AND LIFE do not allow for meandering thoughts at the early stages of your life. This society places emphasis on the good life at an old age. Considering that my time has passed for me to become a self-made millionaire by the time I become 25.. I have to think realistically and tell myself that I must hurry up and make up my mind with what I want to do with my life. There are many other pressures that are making think twice with what I must decide. I have others that are depending on me and others that WILL be depending on me to provide for them and to be the best I can be so that they too can have the good life, just like my parents provided for me.. at their cost.

 

So many choices… so little time.

 

What’s a man to do when he wants the whole world but has to succumb to reality?

a new beginning

i created this new forum as a medium to filter out my thoughts that i keep piled up in my head. as i try new beginnings and live my life differently than what i am accustomed to, i look at myself in disbelief at the life that i’m living. this is just a small tidbit into my ever-expanding universe and i would like to preface everything i will write here with a simple, “these are my thoughts, concerns and opinions.”

i’m a very respectful man and i live life to the fullest. i make smart decisions that borderline on crazy, but i always over-analyse everything. i try my hardest to live life carefree and simple, but as i grow older and undertake many other endevours, i now realize that no matter how simple you try and make, life will always get tough. i learned to have a tough skin in dire situations and sometimes it gets me into trouble.

i may be depicted as a jerk and an asshole, but, quite frankly, i don’t care. this medium of online blogging is whatever it is. the difference between this online stuff and face-to-face conversation is the fact that we don’t see each others’ faces and we can sit there and talk to the screen with any opinions we may have. that’s fine.

i said this before, and i’ll say this again.. until the day i die..

My words are used to cause revolutions, to foster free-spirited thinking, and to further the desire of freedom.

Thank you.
