Summertime Blues

As usual, with every school year that passes into summer, like clockwork I miss what I've left behind. More so this year of course as everyone basically has graduated (myself included). I will be going back to the same school next year for grad school, but that doesn't change the fact that most of the people I love and care about will be gone. Almost everything will be different this time. So, as a tribute of sorts and out of a desire which tags along with me between sleep and waking, to some how go back and do it over again, I leave you with this video. Enjoy and FlyFreeForever.

Yet, what he didn't realize is that what was in the best interest of Corporate America could be unknown to Corporate America itself! That Big Business could be akin to a compulsive gambler who as they fall further and further into the hole panic and begin making riskier and riskier bets, thus then subjecting themselves to even more debt ...

My Own Mind

The human mind is a duality. That is to say, there are two people inside most people's heads. It is the interaction of these two entities that determines who you are. The first is the sum total of all of your experiences, it is a body of knowledge that you reflect on when thinking or meditating. It is not the consciousness that we traditionally think of as our mind. It's behind that. It's the voice that alters your mood, makes irrational fears float to the surface in times of stress, and ultimately has a significant impact on you as a person. The second is your consciousness. It is the core of you as a person. It is the voice you hear in your head when thinking or reading this sentence. Some do not have that voice, incidentally. For instance, those that are born deaf often have that "voice" represent as images. Others simply don't have it. This voice is the real you. It's the part that you in...
