Age of Extinction

If Kim Jung Ill was offered the lead role in the next Transformers, do you think he would do it? Could Michael Bay tame him? Would it have to be shot in North Korea. Who would he cast as the female lead.

Epicurus Happiness

"Do not fear god, Do not worry about death; What is good is easy to get, and What is terrible is easy to endure."- Epicurus

New Eyes

When I was 24 I realized I had to reread everything because my perspective has changed so much.

Cyborg

People complain about the hassle of going on an airplane, but really an airplane is just another place to use your phone. That's all the world is anymore, a series of places to use your phone. It doesn't matter if you're eating dinner with your grandmother or driving a car through a 4 way stop. Part of your mind is always on your phone, did someone text or email or snap me, did I see a picture of that on facebook or instagram, that reminds me of something someone tweeted yesterday. These thoughts dominate our consciousness, the internet owns part of our mind, we are all becoming cyborgs and I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I never have to know how to solve a math problem anymore and I don't need to store trivia in my brain. So what do I need to know? HOW TO ASK (the computer) QUESTIONS! As the ability to answer questions becomes ubiquitous the ability to ask questions becomes paramount.

The things we tell ourselves are the things that we wish to believe. We wish to believe them because if they were true it would cover up our defiencies and draw intention to our strengths.
"the prom is stupid"
"Dumb jocks"

The topic category gives away the intention. Why are you even thinking about something if you think it is insignificant?

The things we tell to ourselves are of the majority rationalization and attempts to brainwash ourselves against our own feelings.
The phrase that I quote to myself the most frequently "I'm never lonesome when Im by myself." from modest mouse's Baby Blue Sedan. So what does that imply? I'm trying to convince myself that I am not lonely when I am. Over time I had to redefine loneliness. If I am reading a book or watching a movie am I alone? If I am consuming the thoughts of another, isn't that the intrinsic value of a social interaction? What is the need to share yourself with others? Although it's a selfish perspective, if you are not asked, is it necessary to impose your own tales of fortune or distress? "Happiness shared is twice happiness, but sorrow shared is half the sorrow." If I am to live in a global world the meaning of life is to teach and act in ways that resonate through the universe to the infinite.

Some other frequently quoted lines. Interpret as you will.
"You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you'll find, you get what you need."- Mic Jagger (convince my self effort will be rewarded with at least, substance)
"Oh lordy its hard to be humble perfect in every way and it's getting hard to look in the mirror cause i get better looking each day" (confidence can be manufactured!)
" I think I'll pack it in and buy a pickup take me down to LA"- Neil Young (delusions of eccentric grandeur)
"5 beats a day for 3 summers." - Kanye
"What's my age again?"- Blink 182
"you were just a face in the crowd, out in the street walking around" Tom petty
"To be stuck inside a mobile with the Memphis blues again"-Dylan
"And we can be hero's just for one day"- Bowie
"All I wanna do is have some fun, and I got a feeling, I'm not the only one"- Crow
"Photographs and memories"- Jim Croce
"grandma got run over by a reindeer" ???

No Please

Magazine subscriptions are 60% guilt based. Just like girl scout cookies, it is difficult to say no to a child.
It is difficult to say no.

Johnny deep the person is more interesting than any role he's played for years. I want to see a romantic comedy where johnny deep plays himself who falls madly in love (for eccentric reasons) with a random woman he sees on the street.

Like a Doll's Eyes

I thought frosty the snowman was supposed to have a button nose what's with the carrots?

2+2=5

A cure for addiction is brainwashing.

Give up your freedom for a month and you can make anyone to believe anything.

I Should Have Walked Away

I never understood being lost in your eyes before I met you. Every time I see you smile it begins a daydream where, every morning for the rest of my life I wake up in love with you.
