In this world, things always come in pairs. People usually only take things at face value. They only see what's in front of them, they ignore the other part.
Look around you. Nature has duality. From the endless skies to the never-ending land, there is always opposition but unity in all things. The Sky and The Earth may be separate from each other but they do share one thing: The Horizon
We humans are dual creatures as well. We can show you one part of us at one time and be completely different the next. The halves of the same whole.
Even our actions as a society are dual. Without war, we know not peace. Without peace, we know not war.
Hearts are themselves dual as well. Without happiness, we know not grief and sadness and without those we in turn know not happiness and joy.
All things are interconnected within themselves. The brightest light births the darkest shadow. The darkest shadow hides the brightest light.
Realize all things are connected and grow to the highest point.
Remember friends: The ones who fly the furthest, fly with their own wings.
Duality
Wedded Bliss? Not For This Guest.
I ain't done a blog in a while but I thought of something to gripe about so I said what the hell and did it.
I don't know about you but weddings are purely agonizing for me. If you see me at a wedding, I will be the guy in the back of the pews looking for something, a spot high enough to tie a rope so I can hang myself. Now while I appreciate the concept of two people that are in love publicly committing themselves unto one another in matrimony, they make it such a spectacle. Some people go outta there way to get doves and tons of flowers and giant ass string quartets...
Plus some of these wedding vows are just so corny they can be fed to live stock as nutrient. I know that you love your soon-to-be wife but shit man you don't gotta go off a tangent. Mushy mushy stuff only works for be if I'm the one saying the stuff. Some might be thinking I'm just talking but I AM a romantic (ask your girlfriend, she'll tell you).
And receptions are worse...the cake, the dancing, the flower and garter throwing. You think the weddings are bad, look at the details put into the reception for crap sake. Ice sculptures, cakes tall enough to rival the Sears Tower, and tons of other little things better suited for The Royal Family. Put simply I got a inferiority complex cause when they're doing the speeches and shit all I think they're doing is turning toward me, laughing and chanting, "You're single and you suck!" in a nice little sing-song tone.
Now I'm not saying that weddings need to be killed off completely. I'm saying we need to take it back a notch and not make it a Hollywood event when all it is is just "Billy" and "Janey" getting hitched.
Am I missing something? Did I leave anything out? Let me know...
See ya later.
Oh, Kanye...
I know that the chances that you reading this are as good as me dating a supermodel but I'm gonna say it anyway. You're a prick. I say that because only a prick would interrupt a lovely young lady's moment of glory like you did and start spouting off like a clear and simple fool. You sir need to learn to be silent. Your clear and deliberate action have essentially cost you ANY creditablilty you have. Even fellow celebrities have turned against you. I have no doubt that could be forgotten in time but can you say as much about the respect you lost because of it? I think not. In closing, I say to you that you need to learn the most simplest of lessons: silence is golden. Adieu.
Allison must go!
Now I usually don't watch American Idol anymore but there is one thing that interests me now. A young girl of only 16 name Allison Iraheta. Now, while I congratulate her for make it to the top 7, I believe she has to go! The weirdest thing is, my reasons have nothing to do with her singing.
Fame is a cruel master. Just look at any Hollywood mag for proof of that. Can a 16 year old girl handle that being thrust upon her if she wins? I highly doubt it. Sure she seems all level now but wait. Those who rise highest have the furthest to fall. We have seen those who promise to be all good and whatnot only to go down the wrong path and become lost in themselves.
I cannot confess to exactly what happens after it's all over but I can probably have a good idea. If she wins, all the things teenagers crave for (privacy etc.) will be ripped from her grasp. She will become a slave to the fame. No privacy and no rest. Yes no rest. They will run her like a trained monkey. From one show to the next. One person can only take so much!
In conclusion, if Miss Iraheta wins, she really loses.
The Society of Sheep
Been awhile since I posted a blog. The format is still gonna be the same so don't expect any changes. Now to business...
You guys saw the title of this blog. You have any idea where I am going with it? What is the society of sheep? Let's break it down shall we. First what is a society? A society is a group of humans characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals that share a distinctive culture and/or institutions. More broadly, a society is an economic, social and industrial infrastructure, made up of a varied multitude of people. Now look at sheep. We all know most sheep are lead by shepherds. Those shepherds can lead the sheep anywhere, even to their death. So put that together. A large group of people characterized by being lead around by someone. You see what I'm saying. Now take a look at the world. What fits that description? The answer is simple...
US! We are the society of sheep. We follow anyone we chose for no particular reason other than we can! As such when we become a collective as a society is, we lose our individuality. We are too enamored with being someone else to be ourselves. There is one simple phrase that can easily prove this. Does the phrase, "I wanna be like you" ring bells! That basically says, "I wanna be like you so I can't be myself".
Is this what has become of us? Are we nothing more than boxcars attached to a train?
I would hope not. We become so narrowed by those we idolize to see what we have. If we keep this up, I don't think we have much longer before we become nothing but mindless flys going after the thing that shines the brightest.
I should be done. I may have more stuff to say later but right now, I'm spent. Peace.
Fuck Fashion!
Now that I got personal shit out of the way, it's time to get serious!
Look around you. In damn near every magazine, every red carpet event, and, shit, every damn day on the streets you'll see one big thing. FASHION! You know what it is? Complete and utter bullshit!
Go and watch ANY red carpet event. What is the one big thing asked to every attendee? "Who are you wearing?" WHO are you wearing? What the fuck? If I was famous (like that shit will happen)I will be saying, "No one bitch! I don't wear people!" Yes I know, they are talking about the designer but I don't care. It's a stupid question.
Another thing, magazines are no better. Look at an issue of US Weekly just for shits. Look at the caption on it. "So-and-so is wearing what-and-what." I couldn't give two good shits about it!
And the last straw...people's willingness to trample their fellow man and/or woman to get a designer name item. I've seen ladies tromp each other to get a Gucci bag! We are willing to go bankrupt to get a damn Louis Vuitton item! We as people are getting too damn interested in all of this! We are becoming slaves to the name! We are conforming to what the hell they are feeding us. We need to stop this shit before we are no more than sheep in a flock. Think people, it ain't illegal...yet.
Get well...
About a week or so ago, I found out one of my friend's spirit's is falling. I know she is a strong person and can get through this. I hope all of you can join me and say a prayer for her. I can't give out a name as to respect her privacy. Also I have one more thing for her. I hope she likes it.
