"You turned around and life passed you by!"

Obtain through deceit!

BRAINWASH YOURSELF! (...through positive affirmations)

If we’re all going to delude ourselves (to varying degrees) anyway, then why not use the power of denial/self delusion to our advantage?

Many powerful people in the world do just that… whether they are aware of it or not. It can start small, e.g. telling yourself white-lies that you know will help you achieve something. This works best if it is something you know you will eventually need/want, but aren't motivated to achieve now (of course seeing this is based on individual judgement you’ll have to decide for yourself when to do this).

I’m not really advocating total ‘head in the sand’, ignorance-of-surroundings type actions, but seeing you will to a certain extent have false notions (that you base decisions on), so why not let the ideas that will affect you positively (and hopefully those around you positively) dominate?? Of course that involves a conscious decision to aim toward improvement (which is usually quite subjective). In summary, trick you own mind in a way that benefits, your self and others… how you do that is your own choice. Pain subtraction, pleasure addition.

Food for thought... Fight or Flight??

FACTS SLIP THROUGH OUR FINGERS:
Daily realities can distract us from the true nature of existence.
I have to think about all new ‘stuff’ tomorrow, but this will survive on ‘the net’.



WE HAVE MAINTAINED A SILENCE, CLOSELY RESEMBLING STUPIDITY

Visual Clutter

It's just like breathing!

We came... we saw... we took photographs!

You do breathe don't you??

You might as well use a nuke to swat a fly

Why go to such lengths?

I mean, they are all, just about, on both sides of this war…
Going way too far overkill
In a mission/obsession to avenge the last overkill

…by their enemy.

It’s a continuous cycle,
Self fulfilling prophecy

Knee-JERK (re)action

Neither side satisfied
and those in the middle

"to thine own self be true"

My thoughts exactly?

Conversation (to show my interest in YOU!!!)

Hey how are ya? (insert your blah blah here)
Mmmmmm... (and here)
sounds interesting... (and here)
i know.... (bit more here)
why? (here too)
that is soooo like him/her...

So anyway back to me, and MY pressing issues! (glad we had a chit chat though)

WANTED: Outlet for my righteous anger and completely justifiable rage.

The old chestnuts of junk mail, politicians and other drivers, just aren't doing it for me anymore. I want to explode at the people who deserve it not just the unfortunate idiots who happen show me their complete lack of consideration for others. But no this is not a hate piece, i just want to go grand theft auto on all your asses!

Disclaimer: Well of course not you... the enlightened readers of my words, you have been spared my great vengence and furious anger... for now.
(Don't take it negatively, unless your a selfish arsehole! but of course your not, you have found redemption on the world wide webhole)

Break my own rules as much as others...

Do you know? I guess not!

Just to Know that were alive right now!
I wish i could inspire you all
to not only keep living but
but to do so in a better way!

Not that i'm judging i just think we could all make things better for ourselves, without harming others in the process, look i know it hasn't happened so far but i'm optimistic!
I Wish we all were! then i'd be bloody sick of all the optimists i guess.
Lets just do one little random act of kindness each day.
Of course, its subliminally to make ourselves feel better,
but i guess selfishness is its own reward

A guess is better than a neo philosophy.

The Dichotomy that didn’t exist!

Everyone was always told that the world was divided into two, polar opposites. But then someone thought that maybe it was more complicated than that. Not many knew of it really.

Maybe things weren't black and white, with shades of grey ...that were too stupid to make up their bloody minds, about what colour (or lack of colour) they wanted to be committed to forever! (and so forth). But seeing nothing is truly originally (nor completely derivative) then neither is this, a bit from here a bit from there. It’s all connected somewhat, and like most of my beliefs only true to a certain degree, with various exceptions. I wouldn’t use the word religion, but….

Where is the bitter irony?

Ohh… (That’s right), it’s everywhere...

(We’ll probably all hurt someone, when we really wanted to please them, such is stuff…

...the Odyssey continues inc.)

Existance (only a game?)

Hey I don't think anyone has found this yet, but i thought i'd better add to it. Not because i particularly had anything special to say. But because i just had a bit of free time, until duncan came round so i better finish.

Just a log of human consciousness.

Just to prove i was here.

gotta go.

now,

The Meaning Of Life...

Why are we here? Where else would we be?
Why do we come up with questions that have no agreed upon explaination? Because we're curious, bored or Trying to avoid thoughts about something worse like, resposibilities we don't want. Our impending deaths or just the general destruction our species is inflicting upon the planet.
(Woh thats a bit heavy ain't it? Better go watch TV so we don't have to think about that!)
Or are we more worried that our questions have no answers or that we will never learn the answer in our lifetime (whats next?).
What is gonna happen to us when our heart no longer pumps, our brain no longer thinks and we generally start to lose our accumulated molecules? Well no one really knows, so all we can do is argue over who has the best theory. Every pursuit of knowledge (or just answers) be it religion, science or any other attempt to explain what we are and why we're doing it. But what most of these approaches forget is that, no one knows! There is no monopoly on the truth. We can't predict the future. We don't even all agree on what has happened in the past. So what we should be doing is listening, thinking and quietly try to figure out whats going on as we wander through this giant maze, searching for the cheese.

So this blog if I keep adding to it will explore aspects of whatever I am currently interested in, while putting it in the context of my thoughts about life, love and the universe.
So its just a big load of bollocks!! Refreshing though isn't it???
