F*** this government..

In no means or way do I not love the United States.. For this country, I would be willing to fight for - for the people, I would be willing to sacrifice for.. But the government of the United States..? Forgive me for language but, f*** this government. All it does is trap people in, create pain - the minority of people living lavishly are living freely without many problems.. They complain about taxes.. But what about the people who are in need of food? What about the people who are living from meal to meal, rather from those who live paycheck to paycheck..?

A government is supposed to be a body of officials that governs a country.. That enforces rules that are fair ("supposedly" in our country at least).. A government for the people, by the people. Where? Where is this so-called government?

Crime? Is it really so hard to end? Stop allowing the import and export of drugs - maybe then we'll be able to rid society of those dangerous, life-threatening narcotics that threaten to destroy our youth. Oh wait.. Where will they make their extra income?

People who dare say "nay" to all of this, the corrupt officials that pollute our government, have to be absolutely insane. Take five random people off the street. Ask these five people what they'd do for money. Than give these people the power to rule an entire nation, or at least a sector of it, see how corrupt they become.

We are people! We are meant to sin. We are imperfect creations, and by no means are we meant to be perfect. People vote for officials, but people don't realize what is going to happen for their ignorance in believing a nice smile and a nice speech. Countless governors and presidents are elected, never fulfilling their promises - never fulfilling anything. It's almost makes you want to ask.. "Why were the elected in the first place?".. Oh but wait, questioning the government is unpatriotic.

The government is for the people, by the people.

Oh well, a lot of people don't understand that. This is a time, an era, where people should be free of such pitiful ideas as a communist or a dictator government. I mean, there are countries out there that still have communistic ideas. Why is it, that the people who inhabit the country, that make-up the country, are so G** damned unsatisfied with the government itself?

Take a poll, have a poll - it will be government monitored - and thus resulting in a poll that favors anything that's against them, the government. If there was ever a poll that actually took into account the thoughts and feelings of actual American citizens, well - I'm sure the results would be shocking to "some".

Welcome to the ghetto.
Where everyday is a struggle. Where walking to school becomes a walk into the concrete jungle. Where instead of a simple walk to a bus stop, it becomes a walk into a life-or-death situation. Families are unfed. People are homeless. Drugs are prevalent.

But wait..
Why the Hell do you care?
You live in a WASP community, that has none of these problems.. What you do know - is to avoid these areas.. You avoid them like they aren't a part of your country.. Oh, but yes they are.
They are the towns surrounding yours, they are the people who commute through your neighborhood, these "ignorant" Americans are the one's you encounter daily.

If you ask any of these people to trade lives with yours.. A well educated man/woman, who comes from a decent family background, who can actually afford a car and a house.. Don't you think they would? Don't you think they'd want to give up everything they have to have a clean start? What do you care? Driving around a Mercedes or a Lexus, listening to your Bon Jovi CD, what the Hell do you care for?

You don't.

A government for the wealthy people, by the wealthy people.

Imagine how the United States could be, if all the people actually had an equal opportunity to become successful, to become something. It's unequal. It will always be. There will always be racism in this country of "liberated" people. There will always be hate. There will always be violence and crime because of this exact reason too.

No one take's the time to understand and try to love each other. I remember, I mentioned in my first blog post to "Talk to a random stranger a day", because this would just enlighten you about the world.

No one will ever see this. No one will ever understand another one of God's creations pain. No, no one ever will. That's what disgusts me. People all around the world, who are so fortunate to be born into a world full of prosperous opportunities, those people will never understand that the people who are less fortunate only have opportunities that are prosperous yet very illegal.

Trapped in the system. Trapped in the struggle.
Our country can never advance forward the way we want, not until we aid the weakest chain in our link. The most unfortunate chain in our link.

Our founding Father's even realized how corrupt and greedy our government can become. Anything said against the government though, is held as communistic or even malicious, haha. I wonder what ever happened to freedom of speech. I wonder why the New York Times, or other big newspaper publishers never puts on the first page, how our corrupt government traps another innocent person into the struggle. Yet instead they put "Young male maliciously murders another male in a gang shoot-out".. But do we ever question why they had to be in that situation in the first place..

Bob: Well Son, don't ya see? He chose to be in that lifestyle! He's offered the same education and opportunities that you are! He chose to be a criminal and life a violent life style. It's not like he couldn't have done something else to make ends-meat for his family!

Son: Well Dad.. I mean.. Think about the area he's from...

Bob: It has nothing to do with the area he's from! He's just a criminal. That's all you need to know.

Racism.
If only, instead of sucking the d***s of people that don't require the sucking (they can afford legit prostitutes anyway), maybe the government can actually help the youth that needs it.
I mean - how scary would that be though..?
An entire nation of young children completely "edumacated", an entire nation of young children ready to blossom into the brightest adults of the next generation.

If only our nation's IQ matched our "nuclear" might.
If only.

F*** the government.

Props to the author of this poem:


Fuck the fuckin' government

an its ever grippin' finger tips

squeezin' on its citizens

with its misleadin' lyin' lips

with all its propaganda

and its out-right lies

explainin' away the truth

while the death tolls on the rise

suckin' on the people

with its taxes and laws

I wouldn't shed a tear

if this government falls

we're being controlled and ruled

by these power hungry thieves

spewing forth these lies

that the people shouldn't believe

it's supposed to be up to us

it's our fuckin' country

I hope I never meet Bush

he wouldn't wanna confront me

I treat the government

like a jury treats a trial

and I ain't being' duped

by a handshake and a smile

I know whats goin' on

the facts are all right there

but theres alot of ignorant people

that just don't fuckin care

the truth should be told

but I know it never Will

we'll just drop some more bombs

and score another kill

we've become the enemy

I hate the place in which I live

and theres no way ever

that I could forgive

all the frivolous laws

that are completely unjust

and the way that the government

blatantly abuses our trust

we the misguided

thats what we should say

cuz theres some underhanded shit

goin' down every day

most of us barely make it

on the bills and the rent

and I can't even tally

all the money thats been spent

but we can cast our vote

its this billionaire or that

and any way it goes

their pockets gettin' fat

we're on the bottom

of the fiscal food chain

can't even afford medicine

when we're livin' in pain

the poor ruled by the rich

thats the government today

and then you got the fools

believin' everything they say'

but theres alot of scandalous shit

that just hasn't been brought to light

thats why I'm here

fightin' this fight

one vote every four years

just isn't enough

its our country and

we gotta get tough

how many people are unhappy

with the conditions today

and live check to check

makin' minimum pay

while the filthy rich

decide whats best for me and you

its supposed to be our country

what the fuck can we do

we gotta stand up

and let our voices be hear

and let the government know

that we think it absurd

that they call all the shots

and they siphon of our pay

its supposed to be for the people

thats what I say

I say fuck the current policies

and fuck the current president

and I say fuck all the wasted money

thats long gone and spent

I say fuck the war on drugs

and I say fuck the war on terror

the government fucked up

and made a terrible error

a war against a noun

is a war that can't be won

we try to rule the world

by the power of the gun

and I say its not right

we perpetrated our own fate

and now we subject ourselves

to the worlds biased hate

our president is ignorant

the root word is ignore

and we've sold out America

like shes a fuckin' whore

with decisions influenced by money

and money coming from wealth

not even thinking for a second

about happiness and health

we are a nation

of rhetoric and apathy

but don't think for a second

that that shit works on me

I think our system is corrupt

its been hijacked by the mighty

and those motherfuckers are lucky

that they don't have to fight me

so many people

just give in to what their told

and thats the way they live

until they're sick and old

and they can't afford their medication

and social security's runnin' dry

what a fuct up nation

built on the premise of a lie

talkin' about freedom and happiness

and liberty for me and you

but thats not the way it is

but what more can we do

cast our single vote

once every half a decade

and sit back and struggle

while the politicians got it made

but I won't stand for that

i want more out of life

and if the government was a person

I 'd stab it with a knife


AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT
YOU CAN

"..It's Friday.. You ain't got no job.. You ain't got nothin to do..

.. So I'ma get you high today.."

A quote from the movie "Friday". (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113118/) It's movies like Friday that just really make you realize, no matter how rough the road - some weed smooths out the path. Marijuana, also known as Cannabis, is an illegal plant due to it's psychoactive altering properties. Not like it alters it in a bad way, eh? Commonly found in its dry herbal form, which will from hereon out be declared as a "nug" (short for nugget). This nug, once rolled up into a wrap, cigar, or any kind of slow burning rolling paper, creates a euphoric effect once inhaled into the lungs. This euphoric feeling is what the good ol' religious parents refer to as "the devils work", but we'll call it "being high". Now being high is a great, fun feeling. It can create a beautiful atmosphere, open a world of possibilities, and lead to many prosperous ideas. It's actually easier to function at a "higher" level when high, most people will back this statement up.

Oh wait! On top of all this recreational fun, it has powerful medicinal attributes as well. It can help with nausea & vomiting (How High - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0278488/), slow down the progress of horrible disease processes such as Multiple Sclerosis (Info on MS: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/index.aspx), helps out a lot with Glaucoma (Info on Glaucoma: http://www.glaucoma.org/), helps treat depression, as well as stimulating the appetite of patients undergoing chemotherapy.



On top of all of this, just remember - this is a plant. This plant to grow - isn't all too hard. Oh shoot, I almost forgot - it's illegal. Very problematic.

It is estimated that the market value for Marijuana is close to $36 billion dollars. A lot of that money spent, isn't actually on growing the plant itself - but actually smuggling it into the country. I'm sure though, if it was legal - the value for the market of Mary would ten fold, easily.
Marijuana has been illegal since the beginning of the 20th century for pretty much bullshit reasons. If you've been reading thus far, you already know it's bullshit.

Just legalize it.

If only the world was really going to end..


I wouldn't mind all of this mass hysteria that's surrounding this "2012" phenomenon. Literally, so many freaking apocalypse theories arise all the time, but only a lucky few ever make it to see the light of day. Y2K? Alien takeover? I don't know, but having thousands of apocalypse theories out there kind of just make them all sound like crap.

Mass hysteria. It's pretty easy to induce actually. A lot easier than one would think. Hell, if someone wanted to induce a mass hysteria, all they'd have to do is write some report on "New strain of H1N1 found at New York Burger Kings". Pretty damn sure that the Emergency Rooms of Hospitals in the area of the highest obesity rates will just flood with paranoid health freaks. (Funny how that works, eh? People who eat garbage food concerned with their health.) It's good business, people buy into the advertisements, the news reports, all of it - than they head off to the Hospitals, the insurance companies rack up - and said person turns out healthy. Lovely, everyone wins in the end.

Apocalypse theories, I wonder how many people are benefiting off of peoples fears. One thing people really don't take into account is, well, if the world is really going to end, a flame-retardant tent and 100 cans of Goya aren't going to do much. What else is there to do?

As depicted in the movie "2012" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190080/), there are supposed to be giant Tsunami's hundreds of feet in the air, massive Earth quakes leaving nothing but death in it's path, and super volcano's turning everything to ash. Obviously a dramatization for entertainment purposes, but what's scary is that people believe it to be an accurate depiction of the apocalypse. Well what's the point in being scared then?

(Torrent Download for movie "2012": http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5443717/2012%5B2009%5DDvDrip%5BEng%5D-prithwi )

We're all going to die anyway. Might as well get a bottle of liquor or some shrooms and have a blast looking at all the awesome life-ending things.

I find it personally annoying that every day, at any given moment - there is something on TV or a radio station that deals with this 2012 poppycock.

The Mayan civilization was able predict events, and create an accurate calendar. Their calender was stopped December 21st, 2012. We take their calendar as the end-all-be-all, because they predicted the calendar so accurately such a long time ago. Yet, these are the same people that sacrificed virgins - what a credible source. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon)

Want to know how to cause mass hysteria easily? Involves a little money, some paint, and risking going to jail. Get three non-lethal snakes, pigs, whatever the animal of your choice is (non-lethal - most people are morons not knowing that releasing a lethal animal in a public area might result in a death.) Paint the numbers on the animals as follows "1", "2", and "4". Release them into a public area, maybe a park, a school, or a train station. Once all the animals are found, everyone will be scared because "3" is missing. Simple. Easy. Convenient.

It just goes to show that sometimes, letting one's imagination take over can be a bad thing.

The verdict:
2012 is fake. If it is real though, who cares? We're all going to die, unless somehow by then commercial space shuttles are available.

Maybe this is just propaganda by all those eco-friendly companies?

Music: My Personal Collection - Part 1

I love music. I love to read. I love to write. The point is I love a lot of things, and music definitely has to be one of them. I don't discriminate against any kind of genre of music, age, artist - I find all of the sounds unique and intricate. The lyrics can be quite emotional, or maybe they're just there for laughter, maybe a hidden message.

Something in American society I think is quite often overlooked and looked down upon would have to be.. Rap. The garbage junky music that leads kids to do drugs, drop their pants to their knees, pass around STDs, commit violent crimes - whatever else poor parenting is actually responsible for.

Rap is an intricate music process, that deals with the flow of music, the flow of the artist, the complexity or simplicity - it has so many properties to it that makes it one of a kind. Although rappers don't exactly make their own beats, they do have to create lyrical content that flows to it and creates harmony. Each beat can capture an emotion or a different feel. Since the rap genre has changed the content is more geared towards party/club music, a lot of people are forgetting the roots. To be honest, today's rap is nowhere near as good as the 70's, 80's, and 90's rap - but it still shouldn't be discredited and labeled as "garbage music".

Try listening to any rap instrumental, maybe something by Dr. Dre?
Now try writing lyrics that flow to it consistently, with lyrical content, that are actually coherent thoughts, for at least 30 seconds.

Not a walk in the park, eh?

All the Lil' Waynes and Souljah Boy's aside, let's take a look at some of the lost and forgotten classics, shall we?

Big L
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_L

Probably one of the most underrated and unknown rappers in today's society. A rough, raw and gritty east coast rapper. Comparable to the likes of Notorious B.I.G., Pac, Big Pun - and so many other legends. Listening to L spit, is just amazing. He can create such a rhythm, that entices you to listen without much of a struggle.

Some of the my favorite songs off of Big L would have to be:
Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous
I Don't Understand It

Both songs just capture his skills so perfectly.

Torrent Link: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4133077/Big_L_-_Lifestylez_Ov_Da_Poor__amp__Dangerous_%281995%29_%5B320_kbps%5D

Enter: The Wu-Tang
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu-Tang_Clan

Each member of the clan hailing from Shaolin brings something unique to the table. With lyrical flows from each member, their music never really gets old. With the signature gritty east coast style, Wu-Tang never fails to deliver songs that are of classic quality. Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) probably has to be one of the best rap albums of all time. Seriously, I feel sorry for people who have never given this album a listen at all. They had quite a bit of commercial success when they first hit the scene, but, for some reason or another - they didn't reach the status they so rightfully deserved. Give it a shot, you can't regret it. So ya better watch ya step kid.

Notable songs:
Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'
C.R.E.A.M
Protect Ya Neck
Method Man

Torrent Link: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4941727/Wu-Tang_Clan_-_Enter_The_Wu-Tang_%2836_Chambers%29

GZA (The Genius)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GZA

Probably one of the best rappers of all time. GZA is a member of the legendary Wu-Tang clan. His style is really unique, with near-unparalleled story telling skills and lyrical content. He released an instant classic album "Liquid Swords", that really needs to be listened to. Any rap enthusiast, or really, any fan of music will love this album. His dark, gritty style, with his piercing lyrics creates such an atmosphere. He really captures the heart and soul of the beats, bringing them to life so skillfully.

Notable Songs:
Liquid Swords
Swordsmen
Cold World
Shadowboxing
Gold
(Pretty much the entire Liquid Swords album)

Download Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K0MBLGN5

Big Pun
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Pun

One of the greatest rappers of all time, who was quite promising until his tragic death. Big Pun brought some flavor back to the scene during the late 90's. His unique flow and skill brought him from the streets into the rap group Terror Squad. His quick vicious flow, coupled with his up-beat style really makes him one of Raps legends. Releasing a rap classic, his album Capital Punishment has to be one of the sickest records around.

Notable Songs:
Capital Punishment
Still Not A Player
It's So Hard

Torrent: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3439281/Big_Pun___Big_Punisher_-_Capital_Punishment

To be honest, I don't know why I took the time out to share my musical interests. Maybe someday though, in like, the year 2020 this will help out some rap newbie and let him know the real deal. Oh well, here - there - everywhere.

If life was like a box of choclates..

It wouldn't last very long, considering a lot of people are obese. I wonder how many people have had that exact same thought? How many people wrote that down, or maybe used it in a stand-up? Oh well, I'll never know. Not until I can take my time-traveling phone booth to Heaven with the Grim Reaper and talk to the head honcho himself. I doubt many people would know what I was referencing to, but nevertheless, here I am again. Rambling, writing. Uninteresting thoughts.

I visited a place for developmentally disabled people today. It was horrible, the conditions I've seen there. Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Reyes Syndrome (which can be easily prevented if parents didn't give their children Aspirin, by the way) and many other chronic debilitating diseases. The condition these people were in, the deformities, it asked me a few moral questions. Would they be better off being put out of their misery? Are they even miserable? I doubt they know the different between good and evil, so I'm guessing that makes them innocent. Is it fair to kill an innocent human being because they're not, as what most would define, "normal"? What kind of life is it that they live?

Maybe one day science will advance far enough that we can cure these diseases, or maybe even just restore functionality through some weird cell transplant.

Now on the other hand, morals aside, humans are meant to procreate. We are meant to advance, further our species, to continue evolving. In society, people who are so severely disabled and handicapped, how do they contribute? Twisted thinking would lead me to believe, they do create jobs at least. Economy is ruined as is, it's a stimulus in a way.

They are human, and they are living breathing animals, just like the rest of us. They do have every right to live, and so do we all. In today's society they are taken care of, kept in the best possible condition they can be kept in. What about in the past, where medicine was nowhere near as advanced? They were left to fend for themselves, just like everyone else. Left to rot and die, just like everyone else.

Let's say, that if a deer was born deformed, would other deers take care of it? Obviously not, they don't have the cognitive ability to do such a thing, but logically speaking, why take care of it? Emotional attachment is the only thing that's coming up.

This is all really coming out poorly. Such a moral debate. Maybe this could be a good idea for Democrats and Republicans to argue about now?

The point I'm trying to get out of this whole thing is:


Well..

If that Cerebral Palsy patient, who is so severely debilitated, could step into a "normal" human beings shoes for just one minute.. And in that one minute, they got to stare
at the way they've been living for X amount of years.. Don't you think they'd choose to
kill themselves..?

If they had the cognitive ability to choose their own care for them, to realize they are indeed born with an abnormality.. Would they give up? Or would they accept their fates and "keep on keepin on"? (Joe Dirt is an inspiration)

Does it make me a weak person to say.. That if I was born with such a debilitating disease, and I could step out of my shoes for a moment, and live life how a "normal" person does.. I wouldn't want to return to the way I was before.. No, in fact, if I was in another body, I would personally shoot myself. (I mean, the body that was defected)

What if.. What if..

Food for thought:
What would you do?

Wednesday, April 7, 2010

Oh why, oh why.

I make a blog to share my thoughts. My inner thoughts, my deepest thoughts. Yet here, in a sea of countless other "blogs" (whoever the Hell invented that word, among other common internet words, needs a pumpkin lodged in their ass) mine remains untouched. My blog, like so many before, and so many that will come after, will be alone. Unaware to the eyes of the public, to the people that walk by us, no one will know.

But I find that beautiful, simple, and serene. We walk down the streets, with countless other people just moving so swiftly along, never taking a second to notice each other. It's nice, the feeling of being a mystery. Not that anyone would stop and care to solve it, but it is a nice feeling after all. To be in a place where no one knows you, where only your appearance is what you're graded on. I don't mind. Personally, I think I'm quite attractive, but that's contrary to popular belief.

I wonder, if we took the time, to just talk to one stranger everyday for 5 minutes, what stories would we emerge with? What knowledge? I remember actually, waiting at a bus stop, with one thing on my mind, revenge. I spoke to an elderly female, she was maybe 70ish or so (you can never tell with all of today's cosmetic products). I know the whole Gandhi thing "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind", but regardless, the satisfaction of destroying that clowns car would have quenched my inner anger.

She kind of explained to me though, that feeding a negative feeling will make it grow. Made sense, maybe too metaphorical, but it did make sense. Is it wrong to feed a negative emotion though? Where is the balance in the emotions? Why is it right to be so happy, and when someone wrongs me I should be passive about it? So many questions, so little time. The opportunity was coming closer and closer, as I hopped on the bus and went straight into town. I saw that silver vehicle, the license plates matched, everything was how I remember seeing it when I saw it drive off. I was tempted, oh so tempted. Something just told me to stop though.

It's strange being a human and all, with all these emotions. I wouldn't mind being a plant or something. Actually, if plants did feel anger and joy (or joy and anger, however you'd like to prioritize it) it would really suck for them. I mean, for one, if they were angry they couldn't chase after the agitator. Maybe being the wind? What fun is it to be the wind? You have to travel everywhere, and carry all the toxins, poisons, as well as the foul odors everywhere.

Blog, blog, blog. No one will read, no one will care. Well, why bother? In the hopes that, maybe, somewhere out in the world of 6 billion (or however many people), someone is just as lost as me. Maybe that someone enjoys being lost in the world, as much as me too.

This is your captain speaking, goodnight - and signing off.

"Oh my beautiful dearest dove, if only your hand was in mine, I would promise to protect it for all eternity"
