WatchSo I just found a really awesome youtube channel that is this local seattle radio station. They all this like indi..alternative..music.

I mean sometimes I wonder if, because ive listened to hip hop for song, I have forgot how nice...

in defense of the useless
I would like to write a brief outline of an idea i have been tossing around in my brain the last few days. Within this quick blog i want do discuss the theory that Americans, and post modern society as a whole, seem to zealously believe that only actions or objects with specific purpose are worth doing or achieving or owning ect.
Quick example to outline this idea: you tell someone you are going...

One of probably my many farwells to America
Well i have learned in the last week that if i write this thinking that anybody is going to read it, or to intend it for anybody but myself, i completely smother any depth that i might produce. So here we go, for nobody but myself.
I just got done have christmas with my moms boyfriends family. I didnt know a single person there but my mom. It was interesting, but for the most part i was just...

“What characterizes medieval in contrast to modern society is its lack of individual freedom…But altogether a person was not free in the modern sense, neither was he alone and isolated. In having a distinct, unchangeable, and unquestionable place in the social world from the moment of birth, man was rooted in a structuralized whole, and thus life had a meaning which left no place, and no...

How to approach states of mind
I am writing this for the sake of preserving this thought, so if your looking to read something clear, well thought out and polished, you shouldnt read this. Saying that, i’m going to do my best to represent my thoughts in a easy to convey manner.

The Prophet
And a womand who held a babe against her bosom said, speak to us of children.
and he said:
your children are not your children.
they are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself
they come through you but not from you,
and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
you may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.

Joey and mom
So this post is mostly a tribute to my mom. I mostly feel like i dont need to write anything because there has very little to write about. Whats strange is that even though i was in a very similar situation to the one im in now about four months ago, i dont feel like writing nearly the amount that i did then. Thus, i believe i have had a bit of a personality change.
To summarize my current life,...

#45: Bill O'Reilly
american-apologies:
When it comes to Bill O’Reilly, what isn’t there to be sorry about? This raging talking head only gets his points across through screaming over people and cutting the mics of his opponents. Unprofessional and disrespectful towards his guests, O’Reilly is the consummate asshole.
