Pardon me for rambling. These are my thoughts.

As I left work, I noticed how the light in a tree spread itself through the wet grass, illuminating every single blade. I thought, "Beautiful." Then, I began to think about the nature of beauty, and Socrates' words on the subject in The Republic. I remembered my decision to take what he said with a ( Read more... )

Here's what I have to say about fighting.

I avoid fighting a serious fight at all costs. I have rage issues, and if I fly into a rage during a fight, I find I try to strangle the other person to death if I get the chance. If a fight must happen, I never start it, but I try to finish it.

Fairness is out the window. Bite, kick, squeeze, pinch, punch, ( Read more... )

As I expected, I slacked off on my journal for a few weeks. I always do it, and I knew I'd do it again. I'm not sure if I'll be able to recover, but I'll try. I don't know if it's because I'm busy, or because I'm lazy and lethargic ( Read more... )

 During America's Progressive Era, a period of great social reform in the early 1900's, there was an ironic prejudice against immigrants. To deal with their immigrant problem, congress hired an anthropologist to study the effects of race on mental capacity (with the explicit expectation that foreigners should be found inferior and give the ( Read more... )

 Few words are as undefinable as death. Many people asked what it is, and the answers numbered almost as many as the people. A sizable number will tell you there is no such thing.
And for all the theories and answers, no one knows for sure. Thus, it remains mankind's most certain uncertainty.

Where do we go from here? Is there an afterlife? Is there ( Read more... )

Humans are fickle creatures.

I once thought my best friend was a human, but now I'm older and wiser, and I know now that my real friends are the ones who've been there all along.

My protector is the Wind. He's there when I need him, and even when I just want to listen. He listens, too, you know. And in his arms he carries me safely to and fro, and I ( Read more... )

 I saw a man lose his soul the other day.

I knew him well. He was a good friend, actually, and a good guy. He had his faults, as we all do, but he never let them get him down.

But, oh, the things he saw.

For a long time, I heard him say, "I never want to become that." Even as he was forced to interact with the amoral mongrels he loathed, he was still ( Read more... )

So here's some free thinking for you.

It is known that various groups of mankind believed themselves to be their God's chosen people, indeed, at the same time.

So let's play. Every race is now a specific animal with a specific culture and a creator. Now, they all inhabit the earth at once, each the chosen people of their God. The Gods wage war with ( Read more... )

Many argue that Rap/Hip-hop is not music.

Let's examine that claim.

What is music? I like to define it as organized sound. The dictionary leaves too much up to interpretation with their definition. Words like beauty, form, harmony, pleasant... are relative.
To organize is to arrange into a structured whole. Let's, for the sake of ease, dismiss " ( Read more... )
