Suspension of Disbelief

Let me get real for a second. I know that everything I say and everything that I believe are not the end all and be all. All I have in my voice and all that I can do is use it. As you can see, I've made a habit of using it, sometimes when I shouldn't have and many times when others wouldn't have. In life, my ultimate goal is to treat everyone as unconditional equals. Sometimes in standing up for one person or group of people I tend to alienate others and I don't mean to do that. I believe that every person creates for themselves their reason for existence. I've been working on mine these past months in an unprecedented fashion, right here out in the open where anyone in the entire world could happen upon it. I could go about describing myself as many things, but above all else I think stubborn covers it. I do not bend in my opinions. I will not be beaten, sometimes even if it's inconsequential. I've lost a good number of friends and supporters that...

What's the point to life if all it is is one disappointment after another, one forsaken expectation after another, pain after pain after pain without relent? All we do is run around performing meaningless tasks for even more meaningless people. What's the point? Well, if you're looking for an answer, I don't have one. None of us do, and those that say they do are full of it. But when it comes right down to it, why should we care anyways? Why spend all our time trying to find out why when really we should be out living it? Because it's easier. Emotions come with both the good and the bad. You can't have one without the other. We cannot feel happy if we don't sometimes feel sad. It's not to say that we'd know the difference, but we do so it matters. None of us have the answer to life and I'd bet that none of us ever will. So quit worrying about it. Life is inconsequential if you don't get out and live it. If you haven't, stop ...

Yesterday Congress passed a measure (52-48) increasing the national debt ceiling to 9 trillion dollars. Today's national debt (12:00A.M. 3-22-06)= $8,351,430,529,038.72 Population est. of U.S. (12:00A.M. 3-22-06)= 298,350,612 That equals a $27,992.00 debt per person in this country as of this morning. Also, the debt rises $2,430,000,000 a day. That's an extra $8.14 per person tomorrow on top of today's total. That's $57.00 this week per person. That's $252.48 this month per person. And an increase in debt of $2972.84 per person this year. For a family of five that's: $40.72 tomorrow, $285.07 this week, $1262.44 this month, $14864.22 this year. Now call me cinical, but damn, that's too rich for my blood. Sources: http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ http://www.census.gov/population/www/popclockus.html

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date. No time to say hello. Good-bye! I'm late. I'm late. I'm late." -The White Rabbit Doesn't it seem like there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything that we want to do? No matter how little we have left to do or how much we've done ahead of time, we never seem to get ahead in life. Our days are so completely packed full of things to do that we rarely have time to do what we want to do. This said, it is undoubtedly certain that for all that we do accomplish, there are other (sometimes more important) things that we aren't able to do. Spend time with the kids, our families and friends, do homework and work at night, paint the house, fix the garage door, and countless other things. And, although those things are significant, what about more important things that you don't even have time to realize that you should do. What about volunteering? Taking a course at a communit...

Why does everything in politics have to come down to politics? Why does everything in life have to come down to politics? Why must we all divide ourselves by our differences? It doesn't matter what you or I believe, we should always work towards the greater good. This is not accomplished by debate; it's accomplished by action. And, sacrifices must be made on both sides. Politics don't matter; we must do what works. We cannot get something for nothing. Do not hold grudges. Life is too short. Why must we put up barriers. Break down these manmade walls. Tear down the blockades of our hearts and minds. Burn them to the ground. Right now, here and now we are reaching inwards instead of reaching outward. We need to decided to coexist. It needs to be a conscious decision. It doesn't matter whether we are white, black, Hispanic, Catholic, Protestant, or agnostic. Why do we kill each other because of the color of our skin? Why do we discriminate because of our se...
