Who.

I password protected my last post. I did it because it’s a rant and I don’t feel like having my rants up here right next to my more benevolent posts yet. I’ll let you see it but it’s a riddle to get in. It’s the name of humanity’s greatest enemy.  It can save us all [...]

Who is God?

A cringe-worthy title, I know. But this was one of the most searched questions on Google last year, as noted on their Zeitgeist page. (They even note that sometimes it’s about the search itself, not the conclusion. It’s certainly Google’s raison d’etre.) The journey is the destination, as it were.
But I’m going to propose something [...]

Music to break the cycle. Hip Hop can change your life.

You see yourself in the mirror
And you feel safe ‘cause it looks familiar
But you afraid to open up your soul
‘Cause you don’t really know, don’t really know
Who he is, the person that’s deep within.
-Black Eyed Peas’ Gone Going

Sometimes I just feel like quittin’ I still might
Some days I just wanna up and call it quits,
I feel like I’m surrounded by a wall of bricks,
Every time I go to get up I just fall in piss,
My life’s like one great big ball of shit,
If I could just put it all in all I spit,
Instead I always try to swallow it,
Instead of staring at this wall and shit,
While I sit, writers block, sick of all this shit,
Can’t call it shit.
-Eminem’s Run Rabbit Run

They say you are what you eat, so I strive to be healthy
My goal in life is not to be rich or wealthy
‘cause true wealth comes from good health, and wise ways
-Dead Prez’ Be Healthy

And no, we can’t escape from the realness
Happiness is all in the mind
Let’s unwind, and find a reason to smile
I’m just glad to be alive
Feelin’ fine
Livin’ life one day at a time
Dead Prez’ Happines

What you know is who you are. Who are you?
Do you know who you are in the world? What is your world view?
What do you go through? What has your life showed you?
What are you learnin’ in this so called life?
Do you have principle or do you blow with the wind?
Do you wanna be free but don’t know where to begin?
-Dead Prez’s Ghetto Youths (Ft. Stephen Marley)

After all of the darkness and sadness,
Still comes happiness,
If I surround myself with positive things,
I’ll gain prosperity.
-Destiny’s Child’s Survivor

…Theres way too much at stake for me to be fake.
There’s too much on my plate.
And I came way too far in this game to turn and walk away
And not say what I got to say.
-Eminem’s When the Music Stops

When the music stops.

According to Indian spirituality there are 7 levels of consciousness. I’m of the belief that we have access to them at any time and we cycle through all of them as we slowly ascend to each one.
The first is the ignorance or innocence of infancy. Then comes the ego. Thirdly is achievement or giving of [...]

The need for connection

So here I am. I blog. I have no idea what it means or what my thematic arc is or what I am meant to say. But I do find myself hoping people will read it. Isn’t that the point? Don’t I want what I have to say to be heard by others? Yes. I [...]

Now that I have the self-conscious shit out of the way…

You’ve finished a day of work, you don’t know why you have the job you do, you sucked at it today, it was exhausting, but you don’t know what else you’d do… That’s me. I’m a talented guy. Well-educated, charismatic, etc. but I don’t know what the fuck I’m supposed to do with my career, [...]
