Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot

If people were paying attention to this man's words, they would know everything about him. Go out there and find that someplace... try it! Find that realness in another person. I am referring, as you know, to Chris Cornell and the example below.

I remember watching Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot film when I was in school. It blew me away and changed everything for me... in a few ways. It was one of those times in life when you have to take a step back and take a better, longer look around at the world. Everything in that film is absolutely correct and probably the most brilliant piece ever seen on film... for me anyways. I can see how the film can be dismissed and/or forgotten about. I mean, who can think on those terms and walk down the street without having a nervous breakdown. The scope of what our little planet is a part of is far too large for any of us to actually conceive within our minds. The one thing I do know is that we are lucky (or not) if any of us reach a ripe old age. This does not mean to live each day as if it were your last... maybe it means we should live each day as if it were our longest and most relaxing.

You cannot tell, well you can but... somebody how to take their lives less seriously. If one has intensity burning inside, it's a good bet that intensity was there and developing from a very young age. That water spout is unable and is unwilling to be turned down by its very nature. Society and life itself can turn that spout into a spit over time, but that does nothing to relieve a still burning intensity in "some" area of ones life that never really goes away. If good intentions and creativity serve as the foundation of an intense spirit or desire or burning for the best most massive part of you, then I believe this world would like to see and hear it.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Blue on black (With lyrics)

Life is a series of stages mixed with unexpected things... unexpected things. From these "broken" spots can come a new pathway or design for ones life. As we all know, each of us is in charge of the ways in which we view the world and our place in it. I think the best way to find that personal rhythm is to act not on impulse, but more on a sort of chaos with a plan. It's a mixed bag loaded with experience, heartbreak, and utter happiness along with everything in-between. It may not be fame and fortune... or any fortune at all. You may want to live in total anonymity with absolute freedom to be who and what you are. This of course only applies to those looking to not do harm... to anyone... ever!
