Beware the forwarded E-Mail.

2006-08-10T09:09:00.000-07:00

Sorry if it seams like I’ve been complaining a lot lately. Just another thing I’d like to get off my chest. Now I really do understand to the fullest extent the restrictions on time spent doing what that we make for ourselves these days. The problem that I find it is causing for me and others I have talked to about this, is the impersonality of many things that has come to be a direct result of having to get things done quickly. A perfect example is the “Forwarded E-Mail”. It is definitely a source for simplicity, but there is definitely also something that takes away any emotion behind the text. Knowing that the e-mail was either a generalized group of words you had to read and make sense of, or that it wasn’t intended for your eyes when it was written. I apologize for anyone who sends me FWD E_MAIL, because by no means am I saying this in an attempt see a change in the way others do things, but you are safe to know that you’ll not likely get one from me, unless I’m in a rush!

Tell Me What You Make Of This

2006-08-09T14:16:00.000-07:00

Well without fail my brain had a major Hiccup, or what I like to call a brain fart. I just got off of the phone with my close friend Shawn who is engaged to be married to his awesome girl Shelly. In east indian culture, the formalities of the engagment ceremony will be held shortly before the wedding. Now Shawn has been telling me for over a year now that his Engagment ceremony will be coming up next May long weekend, and that the wedding will be held in September.
For some reason not known to man I kept hearing that the Engagement will be next year, and that the wedding will be the following year after that. How for over a year I misheard him on multiple occasions I'll never know.
Anyhow, best wishes to my good friend Shawn and his lady.

Is Unintentional still considered Artistic??

2006-08-09T11:22:00.000-07:00

So here is the question for today. Is Unintentional still considered Artistic?? What I mean by this just so we don't have a misunderstanding, when attempting to let out some pent up artistic rage in a fight with yourself do something artistic. I know that half of the discoveries at least on earth, were all conjured up in public display of "oops....hold on, what do we have here ... $$$".
But when there is no materialistic value to be put upon it, should you really know what you are doing.

Let's say for example that you wanted to draw something. You decided to draw a person's face from a photograph but change the background . Well you were going for a more copy type effect so that the face of the person in the drawing looked exactly like that of the picture. Well upon completeing the drawing you came to realise that although the similarities between the two did in fact exist it ended up being more of an interpretive drawing than a copy. Now that wasn't what you were trying to, but a friend of yours saw the drawing and thought it was awesome. A great piece of artwork. Now the feeling was shared by almost all who saw the drawing, but they all think that it was the look you were going for, not because you lied to them, but through uncorected assumptions. Is Unintentional still considered Artistic??

Just gotta Let go

We are too afraid as a society to drop the boundries which hold us confined to repeating the mistakes of the past. Consequently it is those boundries that we have created and keep ourselves back from progressing to the next level of civilization which in turn will release us from this social mayhem. I think.

Once again, a look at the HUMAN CONDITION

2006-08-08T22:11:00.000-07:00

The following is some words taken from www.unification.net
I chose these writings in hopes of better explaining the motivation behind my search of the Soul, Society, and Human condition

"Despite the purposes for human life, which are proclaimed by religion and, for the most part, nurtured as ideals in the breasts of men and women, the human condition is in reality characterized by suffering, war, oppression, poverty, vain striving, and disappointment. "

As it may be in this current state, the questions arises of how much is relative to our daily lives. In other words how much of what goes on in the world actually affects who you are and your life. This is not to be taken out of context and seen as a statement from a selfish or incompassionate person, I will always encourage the aide of those who seek it near and far. The point I am trying to make is that this social condition has not only been created by the participation of the individuals in that cyle of thought, but also traps people into believing that it will always be that way. Now I am as pessamistic as the next guy, and I don't believe that if we only try we will save the world. Inevitably we will be the cause of our own demise as a world and seperate societies. But what is not easily seen is the ability to control the space that you occupy at this second. So the world may be flying first class to the shitters, but that is in no way responsible for the quality of your life and those around you.
You are and always will be responsible for creating your own Utopia. Just because the world is full of it does not mean you have to join in and start throwing it from the Trees too.

Sometimes you'll have to sacrifice

2006-08-08T21:46:00.000-07:00

With the desperate need to better my Inner Self, I have come to realise that a great sacrifice must be made. Even if only temporarily, I will need to sacrifice stability, or at least what I have come to believe is stable. To become fearless of Life and Living, I must learn how to live with myself, understand myself and most importantly, Love MYself.
One of the greatest challenges that I and others on a similar quest face is learing to be content with the simplicity of living. To be content with life and just living itself is a great feat. However once it is achieved all else will not be needed, however at the same time more pleasurable and meaningful. We are no longer able as individuals to appreciate external additives into daily life because we have become dependant on them to sustain even a sub-normal level of happiness and feeling content.

INFINITE WISDOM

2006-08-08T21:33:00.000-07:00

"So you see, the problem is not me but myself
Selfish, sorrow, burden and remorse
It's the coarsness of it all
Infinite places to slip, trip and fall
I'm so filled with anger and what we hate to call hate
I try so hard to numb the pain
Nothing works,
Not even sleepin gin the rain.

Nature has become some sort of aid
In which way is the mystery i intend to solve"

I have recently entered some what a spiritual journey in my Life. Having experienced a lot of the filth and sorrow the world has to offer as well as the joys of love and friendship, I have entered onto a new path in which I am free to explore the concepts which lie hidden beneath the result and outcome of everyday life. I believe through a search of my own spirituality as well furthering my education I will be able to explore greater possibilities of existence.

The random insights of a New Born Sociological thinker.

2006-08-08T21:20:00.000-07:00

I have always considered myself to be quite a receptive and observant person, sometimes on the brink of excessive. I have page after page of random observations that I make on my daily routine of observing and contemplating all that occurs within the social structures that I chose to take part in. The funny thing is that I am only now coming to realize that it is the fabricated social structures themselves that are the motivation for all the insignificantly significant thoughts ,feelings, and observations.
It has recently been brought to my attention that the rules, standards and expectations imposed on my person by the created Western Societies that has taken a lead role in the ideals feelings and beliefs in all areas that I carry today. These social structures exist all around us in the form of school, work, family life, friendships, socializing, etc. Once we are able to bring ourselves to a greater understanding of these mechanisms as separate entities, we will be able to better understand ourselves and have more of a direct impact on our futures, thoughts and values.

Full Moon

2006-08-08T20:20:00.000-07:00

"I think tonight is the month's full moon
Inevitable cycle we grasp at for structure
Clutch to words, advice from a scripture
Complexities really too hard to picture.
The shadows keep creeping,
As the people keep peeping through the windows
Too many curtains to pull away from the faces
Never to let them free, always trapped in far off spaces
We meditate to achieve an immortal state
Even that is temporary, to admit it we hate"

I Welcome my Blog

2006-08-08T19:02:00.000-07:00

Not having an audience who knows where this Blog is, or who I am, this may not get seen immediately, however none the less it is now my addition the many examples of Brain Farts accross the Globe.
So having just created this blog for no particular reason other than to finally have my own place to let out the many frustrations that I have both with the planet and our oh so human half assed attempts at living Life. Not to say that I am apart from evryone else, i see myself as a big of waste of skin as the next guy, but the difference is that I am able to at last see for myself. The curtains have been lifted from in front of my eyes, and what a glorious world.
I'm regret to inform you non-atheists out there that I have not found god or gods. Instead my great realisation comes from the release of myself from the destructive path that I had been following for so many of my youthful years. The sad belief that things are the way they are, and that we just have to live within the confines of those parameters. BULLSHIT. I now challenge anyone who presents the statement, "there is nothing I can do", because there is everything you can do. "Everything That You Can Do" . Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do atleast something. Use it to your advantage. You have the power to affect the area around you. We often forget that and become lost in the irrelevant and distant.
