Racialization

Don't Racialize yourself, don't profile, don't stereotype, don't pigeonhole yourself, don't categorize, don't label, don't tag, don't make a cliché out of yourself, make yourself yourself, but don't conventionalize yourself!!!

Weather

Please do not speak to me about the weather. Do not insult me by starting a conversation that starts with how much rain we had, do we not have better things to talk about? When you first meet someone, and the only thing that person can talk about is some hum drum subject like the weather or general subjects such as this, you know instantly that that particular person has no interest in you or the people around them. I know there is rain, and I know there is snow, and I know there is sun, it all exists, but please don't we have something better to talk about? Trust me, trust me, I am sure there is...

President's Day

Well today is presidents day... What a glorious day celebrating the nations first president, George Washington and other president Abraham Lincoln. They were such amazing people (ya because I knew them so well personally). That is the funniest part to me is celebrating dead people. Yes they had some great achievements but to me it seems that really they are just a couple of dead dudes. If they would have never made it to the presidency it seems to me we would have been celebrating the same holiday but with different names. What if the United States' first president was named Albert Kingsley Scottston. Wouldn't it seem to have just as much significance? And instead of Lincoln abolishing slavery what if a guy named Rupert Harold Docsmith had completed the job. The funniest part to me is that both of these gentlemen's birthdays do not even fall of February 21st. It is simply because they both have birthdays in the month of February that we celebrate this holiday on a completely arbitrary date. One thing that I would be curious about is the opinions of these late presidents, what would they think of our overly consumeristic, money hungry, capitalistic obsessive country? Would Washington think when he founded this nation, that oppressing helpless people with tyranny and obsessing about becoming the all time greatest Hegemon was in our best interest? Oh well, who cares, I get a day off from school right?

Class

In class.... Teacher lecturing, people texting, and people looking at their facebook page. Pay attention, should we? Talking about stats and important stuff for our lives? Or will this build upon to create a better life in our system? What are we learning? Are we being forced to learn this? Lecturing, words, letters, pieces of something that seems to matter.... I think it does. We are here, are we molecules? Kurtosis, skewed, and symmetric, funny goofy words of jargon that help us understand something. There are those days that we truly feel as if we are non-existant and the teacher is truly speaking in the Charlie Brown voice of horns and muffled mouths. Words that seem to make sense but go in one ear and fly out the next... School, everyday is not the same. I should pay attention...

Time

Time, time, time... I perceive time and you perceive time differently than I do. Therefore, nothing is synonymous? Nothing is equal, and nothing is original, or is everything original because of our perception? Time is conceptualized and digitized and quantified constantly, but in the end it truly comes down to what we make of our time and what we see in time, and how our perception effects the length of time we live... Time is here, and time is there, time is everywhere. Truly time does not exist, and time truly does exist. Why does one hour seem really fast one day, and one hour another day seem incredibly slowwwwwwwwwwwwww................ Time, it is a discussion throughout history that has to deal with every subject that has existed. Civilizations and cultures have put hierarchy into this world because of time. Obtaining time is something that is impossible. You cannot patent time, you cannot steal time, and you cannot buy time. What you can do is live in time, and in the moment, and in the present. Experience now, time, and your life will be much fuller. Everyone perceives time differently, what might seem like an hour for you, was a week for me.... Time is merely, how we perceive it!

Procrastination

So, I am a college student, and I am sure that I am in no different of a boat than any other student, in the sense that everyone procrastinates assignments and studying to some extent throughout their life. Now sometimes people are better than others at procrastinating, and really take it to the next level, leaving studying just till the last week of school right before Finals, which truly blows my mind. Procrastination is such a strange word. To procrastinate something means to delay something or put it off till another time. I have definitely completed this many times, and I feel great. Unfortunately, it doesn't always feel great. I feel as if some procrastination is always necessary in life to help push someone and get them motivated. What I am really getting to though is why do we procrastinate so hard? Is it all these cool little inventions, like the TV, computer, cell phones, or other random devices that are supposed to make our lives so much easier, but truly help us procrastinate more than we would without them? I understand there are ways of avoiding, but sometimes control can be harder for some people than others. How are your procrastination skills, and do they work on a daily basis?

True Honesty

I was checking out at the grocery store, and I overhear a child ask his mother,"Mom why is that lady so fat?", she answers the only way she can with, "well, she ate too much sweety." I not only started to laugh internally really hard, but also thought to myself how honest children are. What if the world revolved around that type of honesty? I mean it would seem to me that government would almost cease to function. But is this the big thing that separates children and adult? That adults are much better at being passive, and try not to pay attention to it. Or, is it that the more we evolve and grow in this world of fast paced technology, of lights, camera, action we just think about things for shorter amounts of time? Due to technology being all around us and having global communications at an all time high in the history of the human race, do we see that people are beginning to be able to pay attention less than before concerning one specific detail? I write this trying to pay attention to the details around me continuously... I have to say though I do enjoy the true honesty of a child. Straight to the point, states the obvious and doesn't care what someone thinks what they said. It is true that at times to be courteous one must be passive, but then again maybe the honest, harsh truth will actually bring a revelation to the person. Honesty hits, and hits hard, can you handle it?

Grades

How has it come to the point in time that literally and truly what a student or person is worth is a letter. A, B, C, D, F.... (Oh and by the way, what ever happened to E?) Letters that determine people, and how they are distinguished. Why can't you give the whole class an A or an F? If you are trying, doesn't it seem like you should be deserving of an A? I understand we need a system of being able to rank students, but I think that the system we currently have is not sufficient in the way of actually judging someone and how they actually work as a student and what to possibly they deserve. Doesn't it seem like our grading system revolves around capitalism? It seems to me as if a good grade is like a bonus check, except an A you can't spend on a new swimming pool. The thought of labeling and categorizing people so easily, disgusts me. Students that usually get really decent grades are the ones who follow strict instructions and never vere outside of the lines, which is unfortunate, because if anything it seems that if there is one thing we should be learning in class, it is independent thought and to always question and steer away from the norm that we are all expected to follow. I will now refer to a previous post of mine, Sheeple, be a sheeple and you get some grass. Stay inside the fence and you will have no problems. The synonymous ways of judging people it seems have come to a point in history that is far from how it should be. One thing you learn in one class, can be completely different in another. We have to adapt to each teacher and how they teach, but should we be forced to accept their interpretation? grades......

Executives

Everyone is an executive or wants to be an executive. Everyone thinks and wants and really truly desires to be an executive in our capitalistic system. This is unfortunate. Where in the process of being a human did you desire to work for a company that you have no relation to, and sell your body but never actually own anything. What do you own executives? Pieces of paper that have worth to buy something? Do you actually own anything, if you don't pay taxes on what you own won't you lose it? Everyone wants to be an executive. The dream is mistaken, the riches, the glamour, the fanciness of the good life, what is the good life? Good food, nice things? It is the title that inspires people, one day I will be an executive of a fortune 500. Give me a break, that title is not only not glamorous, but overall just kinda lame. People wishing to be an executive please make your life worth something more. How much are you worth?

Comma

I do not hate or dislike something as much as I dislike the Comma. The comma is filthy, disgusting, and horrid. It is this little tail that is at the bottom of the hierarchy of letters literally, oh horrid comma why can you not let me be? From the beginning of my memory commas have daunted my surroundings and put a black swelling of clouds around my happy atmosphere of fun. Commas, commas, commas, they seem so necessary, but at times they seem so not. Do I pause? Do I breathe? Do I think? Comma, what do you want? Why have you instilled this hatred upon me and daunting my life to the lowest of low, why do you seek to bring me to your level on the hierarchical scale? Why can't you just let me be one with my letters and stay in your place? Why do you have to direct my life and my speech? Why, why, why? Oh comma, do not rain on my parade of life, work with me and we will both be happier, and maybe you will rise up in life and become an apostrophe one day. Thank you, and no thank you comma,,,,,,,,,,

Sheeple

Sheeple, is a concept that is easy to understand. People that are sheep. Being herded and made to do as they wish. This could be control on a subconscious level, where you think that you are doing and moving as you please and wish, but in the big picture you really are being controlled. Capitalism? Are you controlled? Are you really aware? Are you really alive? Take a step back, take a step back and think to yourself, do you eat at a certain time of day because you have grown up eating at those given times? Try not eating at one point in the day you usually do, and wait and try to push yourself to see if you can. See if you can step out of your routine just for one day and see if it might give you a light, a spark, a refocusing, that might help you see things a little clearer... Do you believe because you really believe? Are you being fed information and believing it because it is scientifically backed? Re-evaluate it, and look at it from an analytical viewpoint... Through analytical eyes, you will be able to uncover things that were not always reachable prior...

For it...

For it, is the wisdom of a thing. A thing that passes by, a thing that is possibly called it. I see it, I see it, I see it. It is there, it is right there. It is there all over there. It is out there and all around there. Everything is there, it is it. There it is, and here it is, and there it went, and there it was spent... Spent, it was and it was spent, capital, money, things, it, the conclusion, is it...
