Crisis

Good day to thee, kind reader! I have returned, hopefully permanently, to blog about issues I believe should be raised.

Today, I went and viewed the latest 'movie' by Jerry Bruckheimer, called National Treasure 2. As i sat in the darkened movie theater, I was violated by what I witnessed. In all my years on the planet, and all the pieces of shit that pass for movies, this was up there in being on of the worst. Nicholas Cage's terrible acting, in combination with a linear, shallow plot line, overuse of unnecessary camera angles and plot 'twists' that made me vomit in rage turned those two hours of my life into a living hell.

But the real reason I am here talking to you all without words is not this movie specifically, and it's level of shitness, but what this movie embodies. To me, this movie is a representation of exactly how our society is, over time, slowly climbing down the ladder of intelligence. Basically, we're moving backwards through the evolutionary chain to become beings of a prehistoric era. Mankind prospered and survived to a high level we see today (biologically speaking, not philosophically) due to our higher thought: our ability to create tools to help us hunt prey, kill enemies and whatnot. So why are we choosing to move backwards.

I saw the movie with a couple of friends. One of them was my good friend Mr X. Now, he is a great person. But one of the things he said really, in my opinion, emphasized the significance of this backwards evolution. He said "If a movie has comedy and explosions, I am happy." Now, to me that sums up that if it is flashy, the brain can be turned off, and isn't important when viewing. This is wrong. Movies are not an excuse to stop thinking. I believe it was Ben who said to 'never stop thinking'. These words are truer today than any other. As I pointed out the flaws inherent in the movie, I was criticized for being 'hyper-critical' and 'too picky'. Is it wrong to realise that society is slowly using its brain less and less? Should I go with the flow? Never.

I was given a spark of hope, however. Of the several people with me in the cinema, one of them, sitting next to me, was also aware of the fact that this movie was visual diarrhea. Mr Y, a quiet man, was abusing the movie along with me, and I felt hopeful that maybe the intelligence is not completely gone from our society. When I conversed with Mr X later on, he said that Mr Y is just generally critical. However, I knew that Mr Y and I shared an intellectual hatred for this movie.

So, to sum up: If our society continues to disregard intelligence in it's past times, it will end up being apelike again. That is not something we need. Keep thinking, always analyse, never fear to criticize, and above all, stay happy and intelligent.

There is some really fucked up people out there

This blog is inspired by a really really fucked up video. The link is http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/34068 . Its a video of two guys being gang bashed. Little John brought it to my attention (not the rapper, the cool little john)

Now, I would honestly love to systematically destroy everyone of the attackers in that video. However, i am a pacifist at heart, and I know violence begets only violence. But it makes me wonder a few things. Firstly, as a pacifist, why do I still get so angry and bloodthirsty when I see a video like this? I mean, I understand it from a moral and biological perspective, but from the philosophical view, why would I throw away all of my beliefs to seek revenge?

Secondly, how has humanity gotten this bad? Where to people go to learn that disgustingly vile behaviour?? Where did the crack in society start? More importantly, can we fix it??

God help us all if we cant...

New

Yes it had been a while.

I have decided that society is a lot like a rectal exam. Its dark. Its dank. If you look close enough, you see a lot of shit. And theres still someone who needs to shove something up their ass.

pretty good analogy i think (and pretty rockin pun with analogy too)

Anyway, been a bit depressed lately, never mind why. What is important is that some things that have been brought to mind during this mental state need to have some perspective thrown upon them.

1) Religion. I am noticing a lot of anti religion books popping up lately. Some books preaching (yes, preaching) religion is a terrible body upon the world. Not true. You cannot blame religion solely for all the conflict and whatnot that has happened over the years. We're human. We are bound to kill each other. In fact, religion is one of the things that has brought people HAPPINESS for hundreds of years. Also, some dimwit wrote to Mx and said Jesus has not been an influential figure throughout history. That person should have a cat scan.

moving on.

2) I'm sick and tired of all of these shitty self help books everywhere. The worst of them is 'the Secret'. FOR FUCKS SAKE PEOPLE!!! Wake up and realise that these books are a money making scheme and nothing more. In fact, if you buy a book entitled 'The secret to making money' you have in fact acted out the secret to making money: get oblivious, gullible people to buy lots of crap.

3) I swear to God, if i see another movie about some mystical bullshit and some enchanted fuckwad ill snap. SERIOUSLY!! Before this it was shitty animated movies. Now its mystical trash. Soon itll be action movies again or some crap. IM SICK OF THE SAME OLD THING!!! I WANT SOMETHING NEW!!! Seriously if someone invents a decent new idea ill worship them.

Aparantly on some myspace survey it says Libra's are sex addicts. hmmm


Anyway, ill be back to bitch later.

Who I am

Loneliness has seeped into my brain recently. Not the loneliness of friendship, I have great friends. But I have no one who I can share my life with. Sure, I can share portions of my life with my friends (not so much my family) but not alot at a time. I feel as if I will not be complete until I find someone to spend my time with.

The loneliness got me thinking. I thought about myself, who I am. I've come to realize a number of things. 1. I Love who I am. I rest assured anyone who knows me will take that in the right sense. 2. I've come to accept that not everyone in the world will be a friendly acquaintance to me, no matter how hard I try. I also realised that, over my life, I know I have been judged alot by what I look like, not who I am.

There is not one part of me I would change. I accept me. However I find that many people over the years have labeled me according to my looks and my talents/hobby's, as most individuals in society tend to do. Most people tend to place me into the 'nerd' category because I wear glasses or because I'm intelligent or because I enjoy video games. But these things, while being things representative of me, are merely the scratch upon the surface of who I am. Most people don't stop to see that I love poetry, that I relax to the sound of Spanish guitar, that cooking shows endless possibilities to me, that every day new ideas for some book or movie pop into my head, that I still think that one day I'll be a cartoon character myself with super powers, or the fact that my friends, with their diverse personalities, always cheer me up.

And so people decide to judge me before they know me. In time, ill accept that. I just wish I could find that perfect someone who would love me for all of those things. And perfect isn't all the categories some trashy magazine uses to rate the females of our society. No, by perfect I mean a girl who I can love for who she is. Everything about her would shine in my heart.

So, while I talk about love, there are a few things I wish to say.
1. If you like someone, talk to them, as much as possible. Please for the love of god and all that is holy do not ignore who you like because it supposedly keeps them keen. Its crap. If a person likes someone who ignores/doesn't talk to them often, they will assume the person does not care for them at all and spiral into a tunnel of endless depression.
2. People in relationships, please do not ignore your friends. Spending time with your significant other is one thing, but completely shunning your friends is another.
3. Never take any relationship for granted.

I also need to say: random contact amongst friends is so vital its amazing. Randomly email the friends you dont see often, please, because you never know when that person needs a lift. I know I haven't done that often enough, but ill try to in future.

For those of you who still check my blog, please understand that whatever retarded thing I just wrote down is the product of the combination of tiredness and the wreck that is my emotional state. Im not rechecking this, I dont care, Im trying to get a load off my chest.

"The fearless man will never know true love" - me

Find me a truly fearless man and I shall show you a man whose life will be dull beyond belief. Because in life all that is needs opposition. Fear craves opposition - love. Thus for love to exist, so must fear. For it is in the darkest moments of our lives that we realize that we can truly love. These moments give us contrast to the joy and pleasure we feel when in love. You cannot love if you do not fear.

Maybe that is why we fight in relationships. For if we fight then fear, we love harder. The bliss is sweeter, the passion more serene. But too much fear heralds the loss of love, the destruction of desire. Conversely, the absence of fear leaves us adrift in the plains of grey, perfectly still, a droplet of water upon a flat surface. So love to your hearts content, yet embrace fear. Face it, conquer it, yet remember it. Invigorate your love

From a guy adrift in his world, utterly loveless, feeling fearless, hoping that everything he just wrote was wrong and that someday he finds happiness.

Another U.S. Massacre

It has happened. Again. As you all have heard, someone felt the need to massacre people at a learning center in the good ole Land of the Free. Now, if we have a close look, there is someone besides the gunman to blame here. Lets blame America generally.

Now as some of you may have heard, his lordship and grandmaster of Earth George Bush (hereafter known as Walker, Texas Ranger) has informed the American public (via a spokesperson) that all Americans have the right to bear arms and that won't be changing. Now, I'm no expert at human social behaviour, but after 33 people die (inc. the gunman) in another massacre it seems that the time has come for Americans to remove the stick from their giant arses and accept that guns need to become harder to attain.

Now we all know that people do not want to lose what they already have. It's human nature. However I think that we need to weigh up the options for ye old Americans. Either we allow mr and mrs Joe blow American to continue to tote guns for no particular reason, or innocent people are slaughtered. Guns are a small price to pay for the lives of the innocent

Now we all know that the NRA and the government don't want guns gone. But the bill of rights states the arms bearing law incase the English ever came over to the USA and tried to take over. And even then it was talking about militia for defence, not pistols for people who want them so they appear cool.

And some may say that guns dont kill people, people kill people. Maybe. But if i move my finger over the trigger of a gun, i kill someone. Same action without a gun, there is no death. Seems as if the gun is slightly important in the killing people equation. Im not saying that people are not to blame. But we need to make sure that this does not happen again, and maybe we do that by restricting the access to guns.

Well, that wasn't as thought out as my rants usually are. Nor was it as offensive. Oh well.

This is your Captain speaking

You know why I'm here. The title sets you up for that piece of knowledge. I'm not just here to complain. I'm here to inform, abuse, and more importantly, attempt to create change.

Yes the world is fucked

And this blog does shit squat to help if all i do is bitch. So from time to time ill hopefully be able to add information on ways to change for the better, help the planet yada yada. And what I am doing to change the world.

Most blogs focus upon one to three topics, usually one, upon which the writer gives an opinion that they expect the general public to read. my blogs are kind of similar. but a tad different in one aspect.

not only do i wish people to read it. I wish they may learn from it.

and if one person can walk away from my blog and make a difference, ill die happy

if not, ill have something else to bitch about

So good luck reading my blogs

I guarantee a good read, abuse, swearing, and whatnot.
