Earth Day

Earth Day, a day which is to celebrate humanities political correctness of pretending that humans care about the Earth, the Earth, which is filled with paved roads, skyscrapers, and cars the emit massive amounts of gas, toxic water sources, genetically modified foods, and every other poison that society creates. Humanity pretends to care about the Earth by throwing their garbage in the trash on one day, as if it matters. The paved roads that people throw their trash on IS the trash can, society is the trash. Society is the trash that needs to be removed.

FUCK YOUR EARTH DAY! There, I said it. If you didn't get the point, let's stop pretending that it makes a difference or that anyone cares. Humanity sucks, and remember, WE ARE ALL PART OF THE HUMAN SPECIES!

The Myth of Sisyphus/Materialistic Animals

The Myth of Sisyphus/Materialistic Animals
Man is so ignorant in their ways. Thinks the meaning of life is to achieve an untouchable task. Arrogant of the fact that the goal itself is meaningless. Pointless life, never ending cycle of hopelessness. Trying to obtain something that brings no happiness. A supposedly spiritual race of hateful animals. Worthless species, spreading their negativity throughout the world.

What is a Terrorist?

What is a terrorist? According to government a terrorist is a feminist, a black panther, an anarchist, Emma Goldman, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King (who is now worshiped only to persuade people into buying into this “good black vs. bad black” idea), among others. Now what does government consider a terrorist? Apparently, if you look throughout history a terrorist is anyone who fights for their individuality, or in other words, anyone who fights against the status quo, anyone who dares to take action against authority. However, apparently cops fire bombing a town of people known as MOVE for nothing more than trying to live peacefully by their own law, not harming anyone, not bothering anyone. Apparently killing men, women, and even children for simply trying to live, is not terrorism. Basically what government is trying to tell us is, killing people is not terrorism, but fighting for your individualism is. Maybe next time you sit in front of the television screen, you might want to question how they use the term terrorism.

Direct Action vs. Passive Activism

Sorry, been going through some things lately but I'm trying to write again, it feels a little shaky after so long, but hopefully it's a good read.

Whenever a certain individual is being prosecuted, beaten, or having their “rights” taken away from them, history usually shows this type of behavior leads to a revolt. A couple examples would women and blacks. These people throughout history were treated as if they were not human, animals, not worthy of respect. These people had to actively fight against authority to gain their rights; they had to go through abuse and torture, even being killed in order to gain their rights. Even in the 60’s and 70’s blacks were still fighting to show people that they are just as human as a white man or woman. Even 40 years ago blacks were constantly beat for nothing more than the color of their skin and even beat more so for simply trying to fight those people trying to degenerate the African race.

In modern society we still have many problems, no one will deny that. For one example, factory farms are still a problem. Now, in theory I strongly agree that the way factory farms treat animals is cruel, no doubt about that. However, the probably doesn’t lie in what they believe, it’s how vegans, for example, practice it. They lose my interest when the comment comes up, “Eating meat is morally wrong.” For I would ask, how does one go from factory farms being cruel to animals to eating meat is wrong. In my view, these are two completely different subjects. On the other hand, I fully support small farmers.

I believe that as in the example of vegans, people today are being manipulated into this PC style mindset that simply having an idea is going to change something, when that can’t be farthest from the truth. In fact, simply having a belief and doing nothing about is going to change nothing. What happen to that direct action that feminists and black panthers took to free their people? Sure, it took them a long time; sure, they were beaten and often killed. But if not for the spirit and action of these people, nothing would be different. And this is exactly what’s going to happen if people keep this attitude of passive activism, nothing is going to change, NOTHING. Keep on sitting on your couch and not eating meat while watching sitcoms, but nothing will change, no matter how much you bullshit yourself, nothing will change. What changes how we live are people that are willing to take direct action, people who are willing to protest, and if need be, do something like destroy factory farms. The problem doesn’t lay in the eating meat, the problems lays in with how animals are treated my big corporate businesses.

Paul McCarthy once said that if factory farms had glass walls everyone would be a vegan, which to I say, if factory farms had glass walls, then everyone would stop supporting factory farms, and hopefully, destroy factory farms from operating, and then going back to eating food from small farmers.

This, of course, is just one example. But everywhere I look, everything continues to happen in this passive activism form. People hold themselves on high horses by simply telling people something is wrong, but no one is willing to do anything about it. No cares when it’s time for them to go and do something about it themselves. So do we really care about changing the future or are people just trying to make themselves feel better? If it’s the latter, then this is very sad, but if it’s the other, if people really want to make a change, then people need to realize to go outside and do something about it.

Vegan Diet Experiment

Vegan Diet

FOOD

Nuts/Seeds: All nuts and seeds are accepted with the exception of cashews and peanuts.

Fruits: All fruits are accepted. Try to stay away from high GI fruits and eat fruits in moderation. High GI fruits include bananas, watermelons, and pumpkins.

Veggies: All veggies are accepted. Include a large amount of greens.

Other: Olive oil, coconut oil, green tea as well as other teas, unrefined sea salt, peppers/pepper, and any type of nut oil such walnut oil or hemp oil.

SUPPLEMENTS (MUST HAVE FOR A HEALTHY VEGAN DIET)

Protein sources (these are all must as it’s important to get not only complete proteins but essential amino acids as well as branch chain amino acids):

Hemp protein

Soy protein (make sure this is fermented and NOT genetically modified)

Rice protein

Branch Chain Amino Acids

Essential Amino Acids

Fats (EVERYONE in the world today is lacking omega-3, our ancestors ate lots of omega-3 and so should we. Non-vegans can take high doses of fish oil, but for vegans here are some alternatives):

Flax Seed Oil (make sure this is from a trustworthy company and in powdered form and processed properly as flaxseed generally goes rancid very easily)

Hemp Oil

Walnut Oil

Other:

Multi-Vitamin (essential for everyone)

Vitamin B12 (get this in liquid form as it’s more natural and the body absorbs it better. Remember that meats are the ONLY foods that contain Vitamin B12 so I wouldn’t make this a must have in general, but for vegans it is)

Calcium/Magnesium (essential for everyone)

Vitamin D (MUST HAVE if you do not get a good amount of sun on a regular basis)

Zinc (another thing that’s not typically a must have for non-vegans as multi-vitamins supply a good amount of it, but considering that zinc is mostly found in meat this is a good thing to add for vegans)

Vitamin C (essential for everyone)

CoQ10 (essential for everyone)

DOSING

Foods:

Nuts/Seeds: 8 ounces daily

Fruits: 8 ounces daily

Veggies: 1 lb daily (try to eat mostly greens)

Other: 4 tablespoons daily, 4 tablespoons coconut oil, ½ gallon green tea (on top of a gallon of water daily), sprinkle unrefined sea salt on food throughout day as well as pepper seasonings and/or peppers

Try to get all foods raw, organic, and if possible, from local farms so that it is fresh.

Protein Supplements:

Use either hemp protein, rice protein, or soy protein (or rotate them which is a good idea so not to develop allergies). Take 120 grams of either a day separated into 2-4 servings per day. Hemp protein is highly recommended is main source of protein. (TrueProtein is a good source)

BCAA’s: 45 grams per day  (TrueProtein, BulkNutrition)

EAA’s” 45 grams per day (TrueProtein, BulkNutrition)

Fat Supplements:

Use either flax seed oil, hemp oil, or walnut oil as a main source of omega-3 consumption (again not a bad idea to rotate the fats so not to develop allergies). Although, it would be a good idea to keep flax seed oil as a main source of omega-3 as it’s pure omega-3 and it’s not a good idea to supplement yourself with a lot of omega-6 as the diet already contains a lot of that already. Supplement with 12-20 grams of omega-3 a day, start with 12 grams daily, work up to 16-20 grams daily. TrueProtein is a good source for the Flax Seed, for hemp oil and walnut oil Vitacost is good)

Other Supplements:

Multi-Vitamin (Now Foods brand from BulkNutrition)

Vitamin B12 (liquid bottle Now Foods brand from BulkNutrition): one drop = 1 mg

Calcium/Magnesium (Now Foods from BulkNutrition): 2,000 mg calcium, 1,000 mg magnesium

Vitamin D (Now Foods from BulkNutrition): 3-5,000 IU

Zinc (any brand from either BulkNutrition or Vitacost that is 15 mg)

Vitamin C (either True Protein or Now Foods from BulkNutrition): 2,000 mg per day (if want to dose more that is ok, up to 6 grams per day is good)

CoQ10 (NSI from Vitacost) 200 mg split into two dosings

Putting the Plain into Practice:

4 ounces walnuts

4 ounces sunflower seeds

4 ounce apple

4 ounces strawberries

8 ounces spinach

8 ounces broccoli

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 tablespoons coconut oil

½ gallon green tea

1 gallon water

120 grams hemp protein

45 grams BCAA’s

45 grams EAA’s

20 Flax Seed Oil

2 caps Multi-Vitamin

1 mg Vitamin B12

2 grams Calcium

1 gram Magnesium

3-5,000 IU Vitamin D

15 mg Zinc

2-6 grams Vitamin C

200 mg CoQ10

Overall: Calories – 4,189, Fat- 308.8, Carbs – 97.9, Protein - 267

Conclusion:

Although I do feel that if people follow this strictly they will be healthy and can gain muscle mass as well as strength, the one problem is it is PRICEY. Who has the money to take 120 grams of hemp protein every day for example? Not the average person. I’ll stick to my cheap meat in the meantime. As you can see it is very possible to keep carbs low, and calories high with a vegan diet as long as you’re rich enough to spend the money on supplements. I believe that the protein can stay low as long as the BCAA and EAA supplementation stays high. If not for the BCAA and EAA supplementation then the person would need to raise protein quite a bit depending on circumstances such as level of lifting as well as bodyweight.

Another note worth mentioning is that I thought a vegan based diet would add more unsaturated fats and lower the saturated fats. Not true. My meat/plant based diets are generally 20% saturated fat, 40% polyunsaturated fat, and 40% monounsaturated fat. In other words, 50 grams saturated fat, 100 grams polyunsaturated fat, and 100 grams monounsaturated fat. The diet I laid out had a high amount of nuts, so that may be why. The plant based diet listed above was 72 grams of saturated fat, 108 grams of polyunsaturated fat, and 68 grams of monounsaturated fat. This may show that as long as you are eating fresh unprocessed meats, the fat quality is still good, if not better than many plant based fatty foods.

This was not the only problem I found with the diet. Meats are generally higher in Vitamin A, and this diet was low in Vitamin A, so supplementation is needed in that aspect. All the other Vitamins turned out to be really abundant (and Vitamin D and B Vitamins mostly because of extra supplementation). Although Vitamin D is mostly provided by sunlight, so that is excusable. What this shows is that vegan based diets only provide a good amount of Vitamin C, E, and K.

The Vitamins were not the only problem; the minerals were also low as well. For example, I think the magnesium was about one gram too low (and most of the nutrients again came from supplementation). While magnesium is highly provided by plants, a lot of calcium comes from meaty foods. Iron ironically was also low, about 20 mg too low. Meats are also largely abundant in potassium, so I would probably want to double the potassium levels in the diet, which again means another supplement to add. With this diet only 28% of the RDA was provided when it comes to salt, but this can easily be fixed by using salt on foods. But it just goes to show that meats are the main sources of salt. Even after supplementation the zinc level were still slightly low. I would raise them about 10 more mg. There are probably a lot of other minerals that were low as well; almost every mineral was low with this diet. Meats are the main sources of most minerals as well as B Vitamins and Vitamin A, as well as a good source of unsaturated fats, calories, and protein.

To end the experiment, the fats were not exactly healthier just because of changing to a plant based diet from a meat based diet, although the ratios where still very healthy. I personally would like the protein to be higher, and that’s when already considering that most of the protein comes purely from supplementation. Obviously, plenty of fiber was provided with this diet, actually, over 60 grams. As far as the micro-nutrients, massive supplementation is needed for the micro-nutrients, as well as protein, fat, and calories, which is obviously not affordable for the average person.

Politicians and How They Answer Questions (may add more to this later)

Legalizing weed was the NUMBER ONE topic that people asked Obama about, which he just jokingly passed off stupid.

Obama will fuck up the country more than Bush. The only reason he goes halfway on things like cannabis is because politicians know that the people are sick of seeing their fellow men and women being abused by fascist laws. But he's not going to actually do anything about it, he'll just say things like, "Well I won't put medical patients in jail (which he does), "I won't close down dispensaries" (which he does), and then he'll say, "But I think we need to look at our laws and see what needs to be done" (which he does nothing about), and then he lays it down as, "Oh, but I don't think legalization is the answer" (which is actually the only promise he has held). It WILL get worse with every president from here on out if we allow this sort of action to continue.

Basically, it's all bullshit. That's what politicians are there for, to bullshit people. They are against topics when they know people are against it too. When people are supportive of things like cannabis, they go halfway because they know some people still dislike the idea, and they also know that they won't actually do anything about it, so they do these in between answers that don't really answer the question asked in the first place.

What the people need to realize is it's all bullshit, people need to realize to stop putting hopes in these spokesmen and women and to take some damn direct action. Revolution is but thought put into action.

Worthless Degree

I come to college

with the hopefulness of learning

But I tell myself that art

comes from within,

not learning from someone

And even if I do pick up

some tidbit of experience

at what cost?

At the cost of a few hundred grand

A few hundred grand

that will take me the rest of my life

slaving day after day

to finally pay off

Then, at what price is the worth

of learning

if I cannot experience

what I’ve learned

Dead

Pull the trigger

Don’t think twice

Think fast

Bullet lodges into brain matter

Guts hit the ceiling

Blood on the wall

Your brain caved in

like a crater on the moon

Dead

You finally did it

Now you have nothing to look forward to

Aren’t you glad you did it?

I sure am

Now your pathetic existence

won’t trouble anyone, anymore

No one ever loved you anyway

Fucking worthless pile of shit

Political Gods

Politicians,

like their religious predicators

look down at people like slaves

And the people,

they look up at politicians,

like Gods who will win their salvation

They give people a simple solution,

praise me or perish

Put all hopes in leaders and all will be fine

But to deny this,

means death

All one has to do is look around

And see-

How cruel the world is

The best our lords have to offer?

If so,

one has to ponder,

What this says of heaven,

if their influence is religion

Modern people have abandoned God

And they also abandon,

spirituality

Why is it however,

that mankind still holds on to the idea of-

Master

The idea of individuality is still to come

Government,

derived from the idea of religion

God’s ruling their slaves

Hoping they never question

Delving Into the Mindset of a Macho Teenager Who Hates Poetry

Three black boys,

walk up the street and say,

“Who sits outside all day... and READS!”

Oh, how I fell sorry for these kids,

for they’ll spend the rest of their days,

glued to a screen,

for they’ll not know the joy of language

And is it not ironic,

as I sit here reading one of my favorite poets,

Terrance Hayes,

who is also black?

Portraying their macho attitudes,

I sit here and smile,

with joy

For their loss,

as cliché as it sounds,

is my gain

One Thousand Years

One Thousand Years

When I was twenty

I thought of when I was fifteen

I thought of how juvenile I was

When I was thirty

I thought of when I twenty

I thought of how immature I was

When I was forty

I thought of when I was thirty

I thought of how much I’ve changed

When I was fifty

I thought-

IF I could live one thousand years

What would I think of myself now?

Mars Colonization - Spreading the Plague

So, I read today about how we're getting real fucking close to having a manned mission to Mars. Of course, logistically, there's not much of a chance of the ship coming back, because you know, you can't carry that much fuel and you'd have to have a launching station already set up on Mars... So what the article proposes is that they send a one-way mission and the astronauts 'Colonize' Mars so everything all set so back and forth missions can start happening...



Everyone's thinking "OH SWEET!THIS WILL BE RAD!" I mean, sure this is all fine and dandy, and fun stuff to think about, fun to read about. I'm all about gaining knowledge about the universe around us... But we should be aware; the drive for this mission is not the conquest of knowledge, but rather the expansion of civilization, the furthering of empire...

The reason we so desperately need to get off of this hunk of dirt, water, and greenery, is because we're coming to the brink of ecological destruction. Well really, if you look around, we're already there... Thousands of species of plants, trees, animals, vertebrae and non, all vanishing faster than the speed of light... Plastic islands in the pacific, bigger than Texas, 'dead zones' in all of the major oceans in the world, etc... So really, we're trying to get the fuck off of this planet before it causes too much 'hurt' to CIVILIZATION.

Let's talk about civilization... What is it?



Civilization is defined as ...the procession of human societies generally toward more development and use of more complex technology, higher population densities, increasing per capita gross domestic product, and other significant advancements... Because we, most of us, live inside the confines of civilization this seems fine and dandy. More complex technology! Awesome! A higher GDP! WHOOPDY FUCKING DOO!

What the definition forgets to leave out is the burgeoning of classes (and the conflicts that arise), the centralization of power (be it governmental, economic, or religious), the mass importation of goods (since everyone lives in cities)... And of course we can't forget, the forcing of 'civilized' ways of life on the 'non civilized'... (look, every-fucking-where in history... American Indians, Aztecs, the indigenous people of northern Europe, etc etc) But of course, the first rule of the civilized is, never be critical of yourself; because then you might doubt yourself... And doubting yourself when you live in a delusional world, well that would be disastrous. Keep believing your one view of life and how it should be...

So what I'm really getting at is, we're only going to Mars (and still fucking around on the Moon) because civilization needs a new host to drain. We need more resources. We don't want to change. We don't want to clean up the mess we've made. We want to be snotty little brats.

I don't wanna see a McDonalds on Mars. I don't wanna see Megachurches on Mars. I don't wanna see genetically modified chickens roaming around missile silos that scatter the landscape of New Detroit, south west of New Toronto. (lol hypothetical mars metropolis')

Everyone needs to realize, civilization is not sustainable. Civilization is not desirable. Civilization is the apex of centralization of power, the apex of domination of man over man, man over beast, and man over nature... And soon it will be of man over the entirety of measurable reality... I don't think cool tech toys and genetically modified food and a generally plastic and safe reality is a good trade off for pure existence, freedom, and natural order... Maybe you do; but if you do, realize you are my enemy. You are the enemy of nature. You are the enemy of peace. You are the enemy of harmony.

I personally, think going to mars is a big fucking waste of time and especially a huge waste of money when the planet is falling apart at the most base of levels... So fuck off space cases!

Two Short "Poems"

Here's two quick little things I wrote about a year and a half ago when I was going through my depression.

Insane

I'm going insane
Scoop the insanity
With a spoon
Out of my brain! 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stoned Love

 I look into the eyes of my loved one
and she asks me,
"What color are my eyes?"
"Blue," I answered
She sits there and stares at me with beauty...
"No, I mean are they red or not? I'm stoned as shit," she replies

Three Pillars of the Universe

*This is more prose rather than poetry*

Three Pillars of the Universe

I'm not a religious man
But a spiritual person

I don't believe in purpose
But for the individual to make his own purpose

Nor are my hopes in-
God
Religion
The State

The individual is the center of the universe
And the universe is the center of the individual
Neither is separate, but one

Self Induced Death

Tiny fragments of teeth shattering

A bullet penetrating the soft pallet

Right before it hits the gooey tissue

Thoughts of, “I wish I hadn’t” occur

Like dropping a marble

Into a gigantic bowl of jelly

The jelly explodes

Bleeding internally

Blood gushes from the inside out

Gun hanging limp in cold fingers

Dead

What thoughts do you have now?

True Love

Something that people today seem completely misconstrued about is love. For what does love mean? Is love not one of the deepest emotions, not only of humans, but all animals, of all life? Love in definition, is to have a strong affection and emotion for someone or something, it’s having compassion towards life. On Wikipedia, it even goes to define love as not just a virtue, but A BASIS FOR ALL BEING! Shit, was there ever a more intimate and beautiful definition of the word love than, “A basis for all being!”

But, it seems as if one of the most intimate emotions that a human can express are severely watered down in today’s society. For one, what do most people mean when they say love? Are they referring to having a profound spiritual experience, are they referring to being completely mesmerized by music, to having a love so deep for language and literature that they care for nothing materialistic in the world except that art itself, even if it means being a vagrant, homeless, or poor? No, when people refer to love in the modern world, they aren’t referring to knowing someone, connecting to that person on a deep intimate level. Instead, they refer to love as if it is some Hollywood movie. They think of love as if they can just make this relationship work they will finally be happy. Or, they think of love as doing something like a fancy dinner, flowers, buying gifts, or doing some false perception of “romance.” This is not love, it’s an ego filled mind that has no substance whatsoever, that has no emotions, that has filled doing “things” with love. This is the mind of someone with no substance, with no love, these are people professing love who have no idea what love truly is, because they have filled their minds with not thoughts and emotions, but emptiness, materialism, and ego.

Love is something more much more intimate than simply having a relationship. While a relationship can definitely come out of love, relationships do not CAUSE love. This is one of the main problems people tend to have when it comes to the idea of love. They have been so misguided by this Hollywood idea of love that instead of having that deep connection with someone, they think by diving head first into a relationship everything will suddenly just flash and be perfect. Take a man for example a man; let’s say this person has never experienced “love” towards a woman, because he knows in a sense that he’s never felt anything in a relationship. He has however, although very rare, had some love towards a couple of friends, friends that he has shared hours and hours of conversations about life, about spirituality, about everything he holds dear to his heart, that is love. This person also is deeply spiritual, this person loves to write, he cares for his fellow man, he loves to read, he loves music, he becomes overwhelmed by that atmosphere of music, and this is love. This man however, has never loved a woman, in the sense of a one on one relationship, because he has not put his hopes into falling for another person, but if he by accident, finds a women, and connects to her in an in depth way, the same he could feel towards a friend, then that could turn to love. But he is not so gullible to hope the relationship will give him love, but he hopes that love will give him a relationship. This person knows who he is, and does not search for love, he is in love all the time, and hopes to find people, whomever there, wherever they are, that he can be intimate with. But again, he does not search for a relationship to give him love, but in his love, he hopes that the love itself will find him other like minded people to find. And this does not even have to be someone he is fucking, but a friend, a peer, a younger person, an older person, a man, a woman, it doesn’t matter. Love should not be bound to the social realms of Hollywood type relationships, but relationships with everyone.

Now that love has somewhat been defined, what does marriage have to do with love? Marriage is something that also has a huge social influence on people. What does marriage offer, other than being an outdated religious ritual as well as a worthless government act? Again, this goes back to the question of asking what love is. Love is a bond between one person, and another person. Why add nothing but a materialistic piece of paper to the equation. What matters more, a piece of paper with a signature on it, or the spiritual connection that has developed between two people? Again, with this materialistic and Hollywood view of love, people have been beat down into thinking that marriage equals love. This seems to be a major reason why so many marriages fail. And of course they do, for people get overly excited, just as they do as entering a relationship; they think that marriage will finally give them love. And without trying to be repetitive, this is obviously the same thing as saying, relationships do not equal love, all the same, marriages do not equal love. The only difference between relationships and marriages is that creating an intimate relationship between one person and the other is amazing, while on the other hand for marriage, it has to simply be asked, “What’s the point?” And obviously, that question needs to be asked over and over, what indeed, is the point? It doesn’t stand for love; it doesn’t stand for human connection. It’s just another thing, it’s an egotistic, materialistic, pointless thing that people just point to with pride, but it has nothing to do with love itself. Getting married for love is way more demeaning than someone entering a relationship for love. For at least, going into a relationship for love, the person is just misguided about how to obtain love, but with marriage, it has nothing to do with love to begin with. It is just something that has been ingrained into peoples heads as love, when it is nothing but.

Romance is another term that is loosely tied to the in depth emotion of love. Romance in today’s society is buying someone flowers, chocolate, or any kind of materialistic gift, jewelry, clothing, things, shit, and worthless shit at that. Romance is even portrayed as opening a door for the other person, pulling out a chair, being polite, bending over like a little bitch hand and knees waiting on the person that you assumingly love. This is not romance, it’s just annoying. Again, like previously stated, this type of attitude is just used to show the emptiness of the human soul, the materialistic mindset the humans have been manipulated into thinking. This of course, is not romance, and it is not love. Imagine for a second, taking a psychedelic trip with your partner, or listening to some atmospheric music together one night in the pitch blackness of your room, and merely understanding each other, almost telepathically, you become connected, as one, not separate. Now imagine the opposite, the man, he buys his female partner flowers, which is just a thing, he is dull and empty and this is the only way he knows how to please her. But which one of these statements is truly romantic? Which one of these acts is romance, which in turn, becomes love? Love comes from romance, but romance is not stuff, it’s more spiritual than that, and this is an important aspect to understand. Tips to the guy, don’t do anything special for a girl, don’t be polite, don’t do anything fancy, don’t bend over for her, just treat her like a friend, and if you have a beautiful in depth conversation one night, that is more real than anything like flowers or a golden necklace will achieve.

What has been covered thus far? The definition of love, how people falsely perceive love, what love truly is, the fact that marriage has nothing to do with love because love is much greater than the materialistic act of marriage, how romance is falsely perceived, what romance really is, and how true love comes from true romance. But what is to be taken from all this? What is to be taken from all this is the fact that what love really means to you, don’t cover it up with things, don’t cover it up with relationships (or trying to find love from relationships), don’t cover it up with hopelessness, don’t cover it up with marriage, or anything else. Be in love all the time, when you read, and hopefully you reader, have a love for language, so when you read, be in love with what you read, be in love with the ability to think, be in love with the ability to think. The love of the ability to think, the love so deep so that when you do go out with someone, you already realize that you’re not looking for love, you already have it. So the question then comes into play, I’m already in love with life, I know who I am, but, what can this person offer me mentally, spiritually, knowledge wise, love wise? Are they worth messing with, do they have any depth, any uniqueness, individuality? If not, then why try to create a relationship with someone, for as previously stated, love will give you a relationship, a relationship will never give you love. Because if you don’t already have love in your life, you will NEVER be able to find it elsewhere.

Romance

Romance

A man with red flowers

Approaching a woman’s door

Entrancing her with his so called love

He gives her many gifts

Roses

Chocolate

Fancy Dinners

Nothing seems to grasp her attention

He wonders why she doesn’t notice

For maybe it’s because

She's not so easily entranced by a pile of shit

A Quick Thought About Reality

Once you understand that reality is merely a perception of what you think, the goal then should be to let go of what you THINK is reality, because if reality is only what you think it is, then there really never is a reality to begin with.
