There is a reason a king of the hill exists in various forms. He is king of that hill because has eliminated his competition in one way or the other... dirty if he has too. In order for him to maintain power, he must make it so that within his community there is relative peace along with many things to keep them occupied.

To control someone, you have to isolate them from outside influence. Just the other day I went to a sandwich shop. There were 17 people in the shop... a few couples. The one's who were waiting for their meal were on their phones. Those who were finished with their meals went straight for their phones. I watched them quietly stare at the glow of their screens. Although people were together under one roof, nobody was talking. I have rarely seen such a classic example of isolationism so plainly. It seemed as though each person was living in separate realities.

History has not a damn thing to do with what is written or what you believe. History is something one needs to seek out. Words on a page are just that until one compares words from different pages written by different people at different times from different places at different stages... of their lives.

Asteroid - III (2016)(Full Album)

The mother fish swims mostly on the bottom while the young ones feed off the top. Off the top a fish can find the shiniest of things, tempting things on which to bite. Among the young some learn faster than others. One day, these smarter fish get to swim in the middle where there is more safety and larger chunks from which to nibble.

Algorithms talk to us through fictitious pages on Facebook, Twitter, and every other social media platform. Machines and algorithms can invent voices, people, and situations among people. Nobody really knows who is saying what or how much of what is being said is true.

A significant proportion of people in this country who own vehicles, single vehicles for work and entertainment purposes, do not need them. In fact, much of what a significant proportion of the population buys brings only temporary happiness... which is why there is always a need for more, more, more. Nowadays, it is the act of buying itself that brings on the buzz. Except now it is done largely in seconds, by phone, to be delivered. You cannot believe the amount of brick and mortar buildings that have already begun to rot.

If we can let go of what is expected of us and focus primarily on our own individual drivers in this temporary... life, the things that bring us the most personal joy, then we can leave our mark on this world in ways nobody else could. People will see and they will understand....

Know Not I

Problems begin once you try to fit in with people and situations not meant for you. It is something one knows and yet rarely pays attention too... especially when they are young. For example, I knew when I was a kid that I was not meant for marriage or fatherhood. I therefore knew that I was never going to be operating on a level that is conducive to being those things. I was never going to have the same job for life. I was never going to need to have a savings for my family. I was never going to worry about insuring my family. I mean, I was thinking about these things when I was 7. I was only going to need the bare minimum and if I wasn't using what I had, there would be no need for it. It took me over 20 years to break away from social expectations and comparisons between myself and other people. It took two Master's degree's to help me understand what I knew when I was 7... that I didn't know anything, but I knew what I was not.

The self cannot be captured on film unless the self is unaware. Otherwise, what you have is a heightened view of "a self" coming from the self. It's like a second, more transparent layer of the self that is being revealed for the viewer. A real picture of someone's self would bring about more than just a conversation.

Love is the one, true way. And love requires trust. But how does one find ways to trust people when many people are inherent assholes? You learn to sift through the garbage with less media running through your mind and more music, more art, more going outside to play with friends and family each and every day.

Simple Mind-Dont you forget about me(extended)

It's the beginning of the night and I am alone in a dark room watching movies and listening to music. The phone is not ringing and I am expecting no calls. Tomorrow it will be light and I will be alone with myself... among other people. It is my sincere hope that I spend as little time with other people as possible tomorrow or any other day.

The Logical Song

One of the biggest mistakes anybody can make is comparing himself to other people using the same measures, goals, and outcomes. This fails because it assumes the goals are the same. If the goals are different, then it stands to reason the road will be different. Measures, goals, and outcomes must be different in every case.

As we move from Warhol's 15 minutes of fame turning into 25 minutes, the attention span of the masses is on the decline. Individuals are becoming less and less interested with greater and greater frequency unless it pertains directly with the self. Yet our internet searches and the games we play on our various forms of technology reveal the true loneliness that comes with it all.

Various forms of mysticism are on the rise as people are seeking answers from places not associated with the mainstream which has been corrupted by corporate/monied interests. This is nothing new as it has been on the rise since the 70's. Once one eats all the others and they become one, then what? Inevitable decline. Only within the world of art will answers be found. Everything else has a damn stamp on it!

It is too often the case that people speak when the best alternative for them is to no longer speak at all. Listening is an art-form and from it great drawings can be imagined and put down on canvas.

Into the Mystic | Van Morrison | Lyrics ☾☀

There will come a day when you think you have everything together and it all it what it is... and then the inevitable occurs. In each instance, one's faith in humanity gets tested. How one responds after coming down is just as important as the feeling of helplessness that inevitably follows.
