well, all week the newspapers have been full of ads for father`s day specials on everything from lawnmowers to mp3 players........motivating children and spouses to honour thier dads and husbands for thier genetic contribution.
.........................which is all well and good, because this is how modern society recognises it`s self.
via consumer products.
and if people buy things then we will have an economy.
the anarchists say that it`s high time the whole game stops and we return to a "simpler" way of life, but i disagree.
we do seem somehow happier and less agressive when we have new things on a steady basis.
the human brain washes it`s self with endorphins when it shops.
endorphins are chemicals that emulate morphine.
endorphine production is known as the natural high......
like exercise or sex or hunting or the first breath of mountain air as you climb
but i realised that the greatest gift a father can recieve on a day specifically named in his honour is to be with his children.
and today i have that.

ride like fuck.
charlie is in the yellow.........................hellbent..........the only way to go.
sometimes.......
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070612/ap_on_re_us/colleges_climate_change
sometimes i get tired.......
ok. 80% or more of the greenhouse gas on the planet is in the form of..........water vapour, a natural by-product of evapouration due to an increase in the temperature of the planet.
water vapour is NOT a cause of the increase.
effect, not cause.
so. all of the producers of greenhouse gasses can relax knowing that they are not responsible for the global warming that we are experiencing, even though they are in some small, statistically minute way, personally responsible for producing some sorts of greenhouse gasses.
just like i am typing away here........and you are reading and responding.
now. how do i know that humidity is an effect of temperature increase and not a cause?
think for yourself people.
where you live does it get warm first and then humid, or humid first and then warmer?
have you ever been in a greenhouse?
algore and his associates who have the dollars to make hour and a half long infomercials that we pay to see, use our gullability to allow us to over-ride our own natural powers of observation so that we don`t make simple observations about the world around us.
500 years ago scientists used thier natural ability to observe the world and figure out things like the weight of other planets in the solar system and the distance between planetary bodies..........and how genes operate and how to make things explode or stick together.
now we have been so dumbed-down that we confuse simple cause-and-effect models and believe car salesmen about things that we should take more seriously........
.......like our ability to think for ourselves.

more on chaos.
the closer one gets to the surface of the planet we live on the more organised things become.
all the toaster ovens and lap-top computers and guitars are right here near us humans, perfectly situated so that we can use them.
and as chaotic as a thermonuclear explosion can be, the one that continues to go off out there 93 million miles away in space keeps us warm and alive each and every day.
and i`m sure algore is planning some sunshine tax/insurance scheme as we speak so that everyone can have equal sun when they need it.
i didn`t say that everything is perfect.
there are those who like to fuck things up even though they are working just fine the way they are.
maybe this chaos thing is a personal issue..............

chaos.
apart from being agent 99`s nemesis in the sixties t.v. comedy get smart (spelled kaos.....), chaos is the common term for entropy.
entropy can be defined as a way for unattached particles to disperse into a vacuum, or a way for things to naturally be disorganised.
exactly the opposite of what nature and all of our conscious thinking does.
our natural default state is to organise and to draw together and to create stable functional systems.
everywhere we look entropy is being challenged and mastered (owned, if you will.) by the great creative will of consciousness.
so much for chaos.

deep riff.
symmetry.
nature loves it and creates it at every turn.
we sort for symmetry as a high signal of beauty.
our math is solved by balancing both sides of the = sign.
whatever occurs on one side, happens on the other.
even in our laws, there is an equalising out in justice.
an eye for an eye.
and so to the depths of this riff.
whatever happens on one side of consciousness, happens on the other............
so what came before our collective awareness in three dimensions of space and one of time?
unless things are different all of a sudden in this one special case then it means that there is a vast awareness that we don`t have access to in this state.
but we are looking.

it it all neuro-chemistry?
or is there something else greater at play...............?
is the divine merely a chemical stimulating a receptor site in our brains or is there a seperate consciousness orchestrating the show?
or is this a simulation of something else entirely set up in some lab of inordinately vast size and scope?
or............
did i fall asleep and dream this whole thing up and i`m really a butterfly waiting for my wings to dry in the morning sun as i emerge from my cocoon?
or did that flash i experienced that froze me in existential wonder come from the artifact of some overdose of seratonin one morning due to too much partying the night before?
and will all be revealed?

scientists have done it.......they have finally created a baby.
(sigh.)
the other six and a half billion were too uncontrollable for scientific inquiry i guess.
it reminds me of the story that alan watt told of how scientists study rivers.
they take water samples in a jar back to the lab.

the character of dogs.
dogs, like humans, were originally bred for work.
therein lies the relationship.
we work for food and they provide companionship.
and they chase the postman.
the other dogs in the niegbourhood.
small children.
airborne newspapers.
cats.
squirrels.
bicycles.
motorcycles.
in fact anything that strikes them at the time.
did i mention barking?
they like to bark for no reason that humans can find.
there must be some metaphysical pleasure that they derive from barking thier heads off at nothing in particular.
and have you ever noticed that some people look like thier dogs?
and dogs are loyal of course.
they are pack animals and see us as the alpha or pack dominant animal.......unless they don`t of course, in which case they will shit on your bed or tear the ass out of your coat while it`s hanging in the closet or any other way they know to let you know that, well, you aren`t it.
oh, and one other thing; don`t, whatever you do, try to make yourself look tough by getting a pitbull, feeding it steroids, putting a spiked collar on it and walking comically like it does.
people will laugh.

the character of cats.
the domestic cat is an independant animal that, while needing the companionship of humans, remains aloof and distant most of the time.
if you want a loyal unconditional fanclub that jumps up when you get home, get a dog, a cat is more interested in beauty rest and sharpening her claws on the back of the couch than meeting your fragile ego`s needs.
if you want to dominate and control another living thing, get a dog. a cat will show you it`s tail as soon as put up with your neediness.
if you want to impress your friends with your abilities as an animal trainer, get a dog. the only time a cat will pay any attention to you whatsoever is if she thinks you have food or catnip......or a laser pointer.
but if you want a deep spiritual connection with an animal, then raise a cat from a kitten and meet her every need unconditionally and then one quiet moment as you sit together you will realise that some things are just so absolutely perfect as to almost defy description.

how to pick a mood.
remember when you felt that way before.
see what you saw.
hear what you heard.
smell what you smelled.
taste what you tasted.
feel what you felt.
when you realise that you can do these things in your mind while you sit comfortably reflecting back to a pleasant memory, you begin to feel the way you did when you first experienced that wonderful memory now.
the longer you involve yourself in this process the more of the sensations emerge and effect how you are as you sit thinking back to that first time...........
and you can imagine what you saw becoming more vivid.
and the smells become more insistant.
and the sounds more intense. amplified.
and as these things grow in your mind you notice your mood changing.
and you are doing it.
do it more.
let the sensations wash over you.
how do you feel now?
will you remember to practice this and choose good feelings for no reason at all.
except that your whole life will change.
just a small thing.

except that your whole life will change.

the core of the unconditional.......
...........is choosing good feelings, for no reason.
irrational happiness.
it seems odd at first and most struggle with the concept.
old programming.
until you realise that you are choosing to feel the way you do anyway.
"fuck off " you say. "nobody chooses to feel anything, we are reacting to objective reality that makes us feel good or bad."
well, not really.
we edit, delete and distort our reality on an on-going basis.
we base these processes on pre-concieved ideas about the way things are.
i have been told things about me recently that are subjective characterisations that i choose to accept or reject according to my beliefs .
i am an arrogant asshole apparently.
i beg to differ, but that`s not going to change thier opinion.
anyhow.
we choose to feel the way we do.
once you realise you are doing it in a masterful way....then you can pick your mood.

and that`s impossible.

it means more than "love"
it means.......don`t hurt others.
it means......mind your own business.
it means......do what you can.
it means......if you lose the ball, go get it back.
it means......smile.
it means.......let it go.
it means.......guns don`t kill people, people kill people.
it means......include yourself.
it means......love yourself first.
it means......love yourself first, because if you don`t, nobody else will.
it means......no conditions.
no apologies.
it means.....have faith in loyalty, trust and abundance of the spirit.

unconditional........
means without conditions.
no thinking involved.
just breathing in and then eventually out once again.
nothing else matters........
unless you want conditions.
then there are never enough to satisfy.
go ahead.
try and figure out if you have made sure everything is safe enough.
buy some insurance.
wear a helmet.
lock the door.
check it again.
tick, tick, tick........

colour.
traditionally i have not liked the colours pink and black in combination, i have found the combination to be drab somehow, but today i had my opinion changed forever by a rather pleasant experience that will remain undiscussed here.
however the idea of colour as a stimulus has got me thinking of how we react to colour and how it effects our mood.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychology
there is a vast field of study into colour psychology and what has emerged is how colours can promote specific behaviour in people.
pink, for instance, has a calming effect whereas blue has the effect of making weightlifters stronger.
and i now know what pink and black in a certain situation does to me............

real love.
my thanks to bill for this cartoon illustrating the typical foolishness of the male (and female...) of the species in thier quest for love.
guys, and girls, it doesn`t exist outside of yourself.
if you need someone else to "complete" you then shoot yourself now and save the pain later.
i love the face on the guy on the right in the final frame of the cartoon.
if you can see yourself in that expression and find yourself laughing then the healing is well on it`s way.

horoscopes.
so what sign are you?
jlee posted a bit about horoscopes yesterday just as i was thinking about how it is interesting that certain signs seem to just get along, whereas others just want to bash heads.
the universe kept sending me aries people.
i can`t thank it for that.

humans.
there are those who strive for a sort of ascended type of enlightenment made up of an unattachment to the material.
these people are harmless for the most part and are honestly trying to find thier way.
they are hippies.
they eat organic.
they tend to be politically left.
they are missing the point.
we are material beings.
we are made of a pile of chemicals.
we kill and consume living tissue to survive.
we are the virus.
we are the thing they try not to be.
when we return to embracing our humanity we can deal with a visit to the mall and a drive in the country in an suv and a meal in an expensive restaurant occasionally, because we are best suited to urban, technological living.
it is as if we were designed to live in glass and concrete surrounded by software controlled devices.
so embrace it.

true spirituality.
the true life is lived in freedom.
freedom from that which unreasonably binds us to obligation, confinement and conscription.
when we challenge those who wish to bind us in this way we take steps to allow ourselves room to live our lives the way we wish to live.
and like the songs says.........
"one girl says she`s a friend of mine."

so i`m walking with my children the other day and these two j.w.s walk up and start in on me about wanting to know jesus and all that and i told them to get lost.
it really pisses me off that these types are cruising around hitting on people like they do.
i kept my self composed because my boys were with me and they didn`t need to see me wind these idiots up.
i`m riding my bike this morning and who do i see but dumb and dumber with thier white shirts and backpacks again.......so i gave them the finger.
and i laughed out loud.
two hours later i`m riding back into town and i am gifted with the same two robots on thier pilgimage or whatever they think they`re up to, walking toward me. and this time i just grinned.
thier tiny little minds must have been racing.
fuckwits.
it really pisses me off that these types are cruising around hitting on people like they do.
i kept my self composed because my boys were with me and they didn`t need to see me wind these idiots up.

pattern interrupt.
16% of the keyword searches that brought up my blog used the term pattern interrupt.
interesting.
the pattern interrupt is a method used in therapy to break the chain of behaviour in a client while in session.
for instance, if a client is becoming consumed with a series of memories that aren`t useful to them while talking, i may simply cough and adjust my seating position in a significant way or ask them if they would like some water, or whatever i feel is appropriate to disengage them from thier train of thought.
poor communicators use this method to disrupt those who are talking so they may gain unreasonable control of the conversation.
the pattern interrupt can become a cultural phenomenon.
a terrorist threat for instance, or a radical political shift, or a school shooting.
these events dislodge us from our normal social dynamic and pole-vault us into stress.
the resulting state is one of hightened suggestability.
the next series of commands are installed unconsciously and accepted without criticism.
makes one think more deeply about what 9/11 means.

selfish.
in the sixties a socialist american leader told people to ask not what government(the state) could do for them, but what they could do for government.
and so the politically correct society was born.
now we are busy destroying our lives and society for the welfare of a legal fiction..........oh yeah, and the planet.
the planet has been here for billions of years, through global warmings and freezings that had nothing to do with hairless bipeds and thier detritus.
algore is a used car salesman.

the mind.
you think you are training your body.
but you are wrong.
it`s the mind that must form first.
everything else follows.
everything is made up of thought.
when thinking stops, so does the universe.
and it`s kinda nice to do that occasionally.

the inconvenient truth is that every planet in the solar system is having global warming right now.
the inconvenient truth is that there are fluctuations in solar emmisions that effect the entire solar system.
the inconvenient truth is that this has happened many times before in the history of our planet and that the geological record clearly shows this to be true.
you just can`t tax the sun.
sorry al. you`re an asshole.

a different kind of anger.
have you ever had someone angry at you?
i think we all have at one time or another.
there comes a time where you realise that the anger someone is displaying in front of you has absolutely nothing to do with you at all.
it is in times like these where we get a new sense of things...........
a realisation that you are actually growing.
for the first time in a long while i can actually say that i`ve made a change in my life for the better.
and as painful as it is to see the anger in another person close to you, you can at least seperate yourself out and not take on the burden.
interesting 24 hours.

comments.
i will post all comments sent to hypgnosys.
for me it is important that we all communicate.
without communication we have nothing.
there is a small problem i`d like to adress though..........
it is the one regarding anonymous postings.
i respect the idea of anonymity, it is part of the need for safety we all require in a fucked up world.
but don`t abuse the position by firing volleys thinking that you are inured in some way from reply.
all you are doing is exposing your frailty.
have the courage of your convictions like the rest of us here and put a face to your position.
you will respect yourself as a result.

light training.
after the two indoor training sessions this past week it was nice to have a little more relaxed run round this morning in the spring sunshine.
it was a good way to get some fitness without destroying the muscles this early in the season.
each spring it is the same challenge.
the transition from the indoor small field game to the long 70-80 yard sprinting of the outdoor game.
and so the transition begins.
i will be sore inthe morning.

calibration.
in the clinical setting, not unlike in the world, we are constantly searching for meaning in the behaviour of others.
professionally i am asked to "find the problem" and here is part of how i approach the process.
as i have stated elsewhere, we see images and hear voices and sounds in our heads. we also smell smells and feel feelings and taste things and gain and retain our balance.
everyone does this slightly differently.
we all see, hear, taste, smell and feel and move.......but some are more predominantly biased to one mode than another.
these elements in nlp are called sub-modalities.
nlp is neuro-linguistic programming.
so i watch how a person sees what they are seeing or feels what they are feeling or smelling or tasting.
you can see by watching how a person`s breathing deepens or speeds up at a suggestion, or thier eyes start moving differently as they see thier pictures.
learning to read people this way is inate in some.
i`ve seen some masters who`ve never heard of nlp or hypnosis.
babies are masters. they unlearn as they grow.
so, once i calibrate a person`s way of doing thier world, i apply it to new experiences in my mind as we proceed and get a substantial understanding of how thier life is working or not.

conversation.
in speaking with a friend today he told me a story of a business associate of his that he played golf with that would always begin to throw his clubs when he became frustrated.
this becomes difficult to deal with when you are trying to concentrate on a game like golf.
imagine what it must have been like inside the other guy`s head.
it comes down to this; don`t make decisions or try to do things that are important when you are pissed off.
otherwise you will throw your clubs.
or, as they say where i come from, throw your teddy from the pram.

today`s gnosis.
i know few things with absolute certainty.
the one thing that i know with absolute certainty is that we all see pictures in our heads and hear voices.
the traditional religious and psychiatric postion on this is that these are hallucinations and/or demons.
(sigh)
so we show ourselves pictures that sometimes move in rich detail with a soundtrack and we hear voices and we even talk to ourselves as well.
and we are in control of the process.
the debate you are now having in your mind is all the proof you need.
more proof is how your memory replays scenarios that are re-enactments of things you experienced.
and the list goes on.
once you embrace this process as natural and vital to the human experience you can begin to pick and choose which movies and which soundtracks you run and when.
because your entire life is a reaction to the ones you`ve been watching so far.

two hours of running after a soccer ball is the best therapy imaginable.

interesting conversation.
i had an interesting conversation with a friend recently about the role of spiritual leadership within the church and society in general.
it was my position that many church leaders are aware of the true nature of spiritual enlightenment and that they conciously choose to limit thier congregation`s access to the knowledge.
my friend disagreed.
his position is that the church is a bureaucracy and that the officers and executive are as spiritually bancrupt and the majority of those whose who sit in front of them on sunday.
it is still my position that there are those in the church who have some personal enlightenment but i realise, as my friend pointed out, that one cannot spout doctrine and dogma for a lifetime and be in any way enlightened.
point taken.

spiritual developement.
i have been criticised for my position regarding ideas about conscience and obligation.
the reason for this criticism is clear.
my critics want me to be seen as selfish.
there is nothing further from the truth.
it is my desire for people to be comfortable enough with themselves to be able to stay out of other people`s shit.
it is the moral position of the church that we should be concerned with the behaviours and values of others and this gives people the authority to be judgemental.
this is at direct odds with what i believe enlightenment to be.
i would consider the churches position to be one of encumberment.
heaping burdens on people that they can`t possibly carry.

the spritual path.
the spiritual path is not one of obligation to others.
it is to development of the self.
to an understanding of what it means to be alive and at peace in a storm of consciousness.
so many in the "new age" are asking how we can help eachother, yet are in turmoil personally.
you cannot begin to work with others effectively without being aware of dealing with your own stuff first.
if everyone could begin to become slightly more self-aware we wouldn`t be charging around attempting to do good things out of ego so much.
how can i tell the difference?
interesting question.
mostly by the arguements people have in protecting thier ego positions.
a simple observation helps me somewhat.
i noticed that there are always efforts afoot to help the poor in other countries and disaster relief funds enjoined, yet there are still poor and hungry and abused and confused and lonely people here right on our own doorstep..........
and people are unable to help them.
in fact people get angry and defensive if you suggest that we should.

forgiveness.
i just realised something in conversation with a friend.
i can`t forgive.
i have no place or position to forgive.
it is only ego that forgives.
it is only ego that wishes to forgive.
i just accept.

there are good days and bad days.
then there is today.
i`m not going to provide details here, but today has gone from one extreme to another.
in the space of eight hours i`ve been first extatic and now despondent.
so high and then so low.
this old heart cannot take a ride like this any more.
one simple joy shared this morning i will treasure forever.
one deep confusion this evening will haunt me as long...............

fear.
anthony was good enough to point out that fear is a cause of anger.
possibly the root cause.
we are born with two fears; fear of falling and fear of loud noises.
everything else is learned.
begs the question.
who`s doing the teaching?

types of anger.
a short list.
feel free to add your own as you see fit.
moral indignation.
vengance.
territorialism.
psychosis.
confusion.
frustration.
schardenfriede. (unsure of the correct spelling of this one.......)
willfullness.
these are a few of the origins of anger. not the anger it`s self, but it`s causes.
and who are we to judge whether these feelings are right or wrong for a person to feel and to react to?
the only person we can control is ourselves.
and even then...............

question for debate.
is anger something that passes with spiritual maturity?
what is spiritual maturity?
what is anger?
conscience.
conscience = arrogance.
or in transactional terms; i`m ok; you`re not ok.
it is a game we are all taught at an early age.
"help others less fortunate than yourself ".
why only those?
why not yourself ?
the morality we are taught as children grinds us as we try to wake up into consciousness.
the conscience we are taught forces us to look outwardly for acceptance and to judge others.
so others are judging us as they strive for a piece of our acceptance too.
how good is that to know?
so here we are, living in world of laws and judgement all the way up to the supreme court.
even our love has to become a legal matter.
what is the antidote then?
acceptance.

would you accept my apology?
no, i think not.
in fact i`m certain that you won`t.
because you couldn`t stand to let go of the anger for a moment to feel something like human frailty and accept forgiveness.
my forgiveness.
and why do i know this?
because you are me.
because the anger is the thing that props you up and protects you from the pain of the pain.
and the phony world of words that allows the judgement you proclaim.
the pain of the pain.
you know what i mean.
if not for that surging anger, what would be left?

what is authentic?
there will soon be seven billion people on the planet.
most of whom have never heard of a doctorate.
these people live and love and laugh and cry and give birth and lie and cheat and steal and get it wrong and then get it right and then dream and hope and smile and wish and work and push and fight and plan and invest and save and spend and go in debt and break up and marry and live together and meet new people and see thier children grow and grow old and get sick and get better and eventually die.
and they all do this with absolute authenticity.
and nobody told them how to do it.
nobody.
nobody told us how to be born.
or be conscious.
or see.
or feel.
or hear.
or cry.
or love.
but someone, somewhere is planning to start a certification course.

What kind of divinity training are you going for?
only a person caught up in the appearances of accreditation would ask such a question.
and for those nothing is ever enough......................
my divinity is a certain knowledge in what i have felt since i was a child.
the thing that this sorry sad world lacks.
the capacity to love.
immutable and simple.
not creatable or destroyable or even changable in any way.
it is the thing that brings us all here and makes towers shoot up into the sky and makes planes fly.
the laws of men bind us in judgement and find fault in the slightest thing.
then it makes it easy to deny love when it`s right there in front of you smiling.
so........nail me to the cross if you will.
it won`t stop your pain.
sorry i woke you from your sleep.

the idea that because a man`s philosophy differs from the status quo, one must be some kind of snake oil salesman is one that shouldn`t suprise me.

make your morning a celebration.
and in case you hadn`t noticed, unless you do, nobody else is going to...............
.........so;
let`s find a way to celebrate.
i don`t care what method you choose, and niether does your soul (nervous system/ neuro-chemistry......)
all that matters is that you start to recognise that you are alive.
you could do like the children do and just begin to play.
jump up and down until you laugh.
or would that be silly?
i didn`t say you had to tell anyone..........
yet.
maybe when you stop laughing.

welcome to camo wednesday........
if you got camo, now`s the time to show it........or something.
reason.
we are trapped in it.
we can not stop.
being unreasonable is a crime.
so we have to persist.
thankfully the cage is semantic.
once we realise that we are caught in the meaning we give to a word......like reason.......then we can breathe a sigh of relief.
and be unreasonable.
because it`s the only way to be free.
we can not stop.

thankfully the cage is semantic.
once we realise that we are caught in the meaning we give to a word......like reason.......then we can breathe a sigh of relief.
and be unreasonable.
because it`s the only way to be free.
choosing..........
.................good feelings. for no reason.
reason is the dialog inside.
the noise in the head.
when that stops the world beigns.
input is possible.
so how do we choose good feelings for no reason?
by remembering.
remember a good feeling from the past.
got one?
could you make one up?
when you have got one then continue reading.
once you remember a good feeling.......or a memory that creates that good feeling realise that the memoryis made up of elements of sight, sound, smell, taste and sensation.
so now begin to see what you saw.
hear the sounds that make you remember.
some of the smells if you can.
flavours.
touch.
and notice that when you focus on these sensations that you can amplify the colurof a green field of the blue of a sky...........
or the roar of the crowd.
the smell of baking in the kitchen or her sweet perfume.
and her touch.
and you are right back there in time and space re-experiencing that good feeling.
the more you do this, the more you amplify the feelings.
and the better you feel.
simple.

try to move the small block in the center around without getting touched by the moving blocks or touching the outer wall.
fighter pilots are expected to do this for minutes at a time.
let me know how far you get.

a welcome.
to new readers......whoever you may be, and for whatever purpose.
and when we meet, smile.
you know who i`m talking about.
and when we meet, smile.
you know who i`m talking about.
the tower.
climb the stairs one at a time. ever higher you climb.....not knowing why you climb yet onward and upward you go.
up inside the tower you rise and realise that any moment now the whole thing will come crashing down.
and still you chose to climb.
nothing will stand in the way of your choice to do this even though you know it means the destruction of everything that went before.
catastrophe.
and ever still you climb.
step by step.
watching and knowing what will eventually happen.
and when the moment of destruction comes, remember to be resolute in your purpose.
take no prisoners.
no blame.
just responsibility.
it is the way of the warrior.

easter.
someone wished me a happy easter today and i made a joke about it being one of those odd christian celebrations, and the woman got hostile with me........
it made me realise the thin veneer of civility that people of religion have for people with other ways of expressing thier spirituality.......sometimes.
being a student of history and religion and divinity etc. i have a perspective on things that the indoctrinated don`t have access to, and maybe i`m being a little unfair by joking with them about thier holy days.
or maybe it`s my right to be protective of my position.
anyway, hopefully you spent time with those you love today........whatever the reason.
and had some chocolate bunny ears.
the best bit.

for bill.
since i was six years old i have known, without reservation, that the words of men are hollow and frightened.
hollow from lack of love and knowledge of the divine, and frightened by the fragility of the intellect.
when i began to speak of love and open up to it myself then my fear went away.
nothing to do with university or who knows more than anyone else.
i know fuck all.
i just feel more than most.
when i think i am wrong. when i act i am right.........every time.

recently.
recently things have been such that i haven`t felt the urge to communicate.
during this period there have been those who have suggested doing certain things to effect change and to manipulate situations and people for my benifit..........
and you know what?
i`m realising that it has been better to just do nothing.
and the world still spins.
and my concerns persist.
and there is nothing i can do to change the fact.
now i have to do laundry.
