William Burroughs expanded

"We are like water creatures looking up at the land and air and wondering how we can survive in that alien medium. The water we live in is Time. That alien medium we glimpse beyond time is Space. And that is where we are going.” - William Burroughs

We are like water creatures looking up at the land and air and wondering how we can survive in that alien medium. The water we live in is Time. The time we live in is our very cage. That alien medium we glimpse beyond time is Space. Infinite space. And that is where we are going. Where we will bloom. We are destined to bloom.

Guernica

There is a sense of utter urgency, panic and fright depicted through this painting. I can see the pain in the eyes of the men and the beasts as they scramble together for something. They seem tortured by something, by war.

Nirvana "lithium"

To me this song is yet another one of Nirvanas masterpieces. Kurt is so clever with his words in this song so as to leave us all with rather uncertain conclusions on just what exactly he might of been talking about. I get a very apathetic almost delusional mood from this song, it sounds like hes going mentally numb and is completely aware of it and just doesnt care.

Nirvana-"Come as you are"

This is such a great song by Nirvana. The lyrics could hold many meanings but my feeble-mind came to this possible solution. To me i feel like Kurt is in a sense, calling out a former-self or a long passed memory to face destruction or even maybe a friend/enemy. He is lying and decieving when he is saying he doesnt have a gun so as to hid his true intentions of murdering this "memoria".

Arizona Immigration Law

Dumb idea. The economic loss due to removal of illegal immigrants will be extremely costly for any state adopting this law. And it seems most people for the law are ONLY for it for there own personal gain, racist desires or revenge. Im getting sick of hearing people bitch about illegal immigrants taking there jobs, if an illegal immigrant can even aquire your job then you must have a shitty job to begin with cause Illegal immigrants usually do the jobs nobody else wants to do anyways. I mean seriously, if your competing with people that dont even legally live here then you need to get your own life in check before you even think about Immigration laws. I think Racial profiling is a bit messed up but come on, some people just look suspicious and statistically the chances of a hispanic person being illegal is higher than say an asian or black person. We need to develop a way to possibly legalize certain illegal immigrants that are here to try to make as honest a life they can and also so they can be tracked and watched just like all american citizens. We also need to develop a way to effectively remove certain illegal immigrants that dont deserve to be here due to criminal behaviour though.

Anthony Robbins On Perspectives

“To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.” Anthony Robbins

Indeed we are all different in the way we percieve the world, if not the individualism of man would prove to have been a myth. Every person views things slightly or vastly differently, there are memories and emotions that are invoked by the sight of objects that cannot be replicated or experienced by anyone else. The chance of me and you percieving the exact same thought when the word "knife" is spoken is virtually impossible, we both just have slightly different perceptions. With this knowledge we can begin to understand a lot about how we communicate and interact.

4/13

I share the desire to have purpose in my life.
I share the desire to fullfil what i feel is right.
I share the desire to resolve issues with enemies of mine.


My deepest desire in life is simply to be happy and content. My current view of what that is would be to become an influential and successful musician and be able to provide for myself and do nothing but play music and to continue to hold on to the girl of my dreams, Lorelei.
I feel like the general theme of this desire is extremely popular, everybody wants to be happy. Whether money gets the job done or fame or women it doesnt matter. We all just want to be happy.
