"We live in the age of the coward.  It is the nature of the weak to gang up against the strong."

- I say, i dunno maybe someone came up with that before me.  If not haha

My travels have come to a halt temporarily.  I have been wasting a lot of time lately, some on playing basketball.

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player that is known to the mainstream.  Now perhaps there is some kind of zen player out there somewhere.  But regardless, none of these guys in today's NBA compare.  I guess the industry has been trying to escape its dependance on the presence of Jordan.  The leage of today can't compare the to the leage of the Jordan era, nor do any players in it compare to the legends of the past.  There are those that argue otherwise, but what is the reasoning behind it?

...

There is none.

And there are a lot more that favors the league of decades ago.

Basketballl is just one arena, the principal of this extends to many others.  Ergo the masses attempt to taint the champions.

Current Music: London Philharmonic
Flowers bloom in the spring time. And so the Elephant Rider is occasionally struck by his "can do" attitude. Creating existance for a new catalyst amongst fiery universe. Only to realize the reciprocating nature of gravity. For no path in existance is perfect. Things always nudge left... BUT WHY?! Bumble Bee's fly and I can't prove that.

Knowledge is power, but power has its price. What would achilles do if even his heels were as flawless as he?! How would he get his syphillis shot? Or meningitis? Or tuberculosis?

Never forget the mighty hero who must walk his straight path (with its leftward influence) while carrying a sack of autumn leaves. Leaves to be unharmed by the will of Apollo! Fighting the urge of the leprechaun hypnotist, yet unsubliminally urging the hero to clap his hands together. As he must fight his own childhood conditioning to clap to the chilren of the monkey amidst the sung performance of the glowing forest women.

Current Mood: amusedamused
Current Music: Journey - Seperate Ways
Triops have been around since the Triassic. And they are here to stay.

Unchanged, as the millions of years have passed.

And in yet a decade, I find myself changed forever. The boy I once was quelled deep within. Humans are so much different than the cretacians. If I had a choice, I would listen to a whale over a dolphin any day. Dolphins are assholes, friendly assholes, but assholes nonetheless. A killer whale is also a dolphin. Dolphins and humans are very similar. Whales are wise, yet disturbed by Sonar that meatheads use in their fun toys called submarines.

Why does Time fly by so FAST?!

How much a man changes. How equally and congruently sustained the spineless can be.

For the ocean it is the Mollusk King Collosal Squid versus the Blue Whale. Who will end the ceaseless fighting? Lets see a buddy team of great giants. Cows are panzies. Through settling their disputes diplomatically they pave a new way of life for the ocean and its championed.

For the surface, less than 30 percent of the earth, it is a different story. As the land masses grow smaller, with each melting ice cap induced by Global Warming (via Ozone layer depletion via Carbon Monoxide emission as a result of fossil fuel combustion). A different contest entirely. May the surface world of the reamining land masses be sustained optimally as man is pitted against his own greed. A losing battle, but prevalence inevitable. Or atleast contemplated by the hopefuls.

I am out.

Forget that pretzel. Take the steak.

Well the fantastic four was a pleasing movie. I dislike how the origin of Doctor Doom was modified, as the original character was far more interesting.

Well I think Tom Cruise hit a point there. I have known several people who have used medication to help treat their own depression. Its not mystery, these drugs aren't very expensive and depression is a very common thing these days. The sales reflect it:

In the quoted body of speech by the Boston Globe it is mentioned that the industry is near 20 billion dollars annually. That is a monster.

When I had attended the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic Personal Training Seminar. The Governor of California had a discussion with a depressed person at the seminar. The young man had been down trodden and was wondering how to stay motivated as gaining muscle and keeping lean was very difficult in his perspective. The Governator responded by telling him that it wasn't his fault that he is a pessimist. But it certainly his responsiblity to deal with the issue. On that note, I got another invitation to the Arnold Classic from the governator and Jim Lorimer, very cool I thought.

Back to Tom Cruise. I am very suprised that he had stood up and said that. Though Mr. Cruise could have been a bit more patient, he really believed in his cause. To promote happiness through a more drug free alternative from my understanding of the article.

Happiness much like motivation must come from within. Never forget this.

As human beings we are capable of experience and entire spectrum of feelings. Often the extreme ends of this spectrum (happpiness/sadness) seem to be more vivid than the others. Regardless, as people we do not dwell properly in solitude. However exceptions have existed and continue to, this day.

The world is becoming a more and more diverse place, as human population grows, people must learn to live together. And in many ways mankind has learned to do that. Professionals have become specialized in performing certain tasks. And only through working together can the complex machines of tommorrow become a reality.

Through the specification of subjects that were once broad has resulted in tipping the scale. When an athlete trains over 3 hours a day, he/she becomes overtrained and becomes lesser as a result of it. When an astronomer stares at magnified images of stars his/her body becomes malformed, and spasms of the eye occur as retinal muscles are damaged. Its happened, I've seen it. Whether one exhibits excessive pondering, or gossiping, or table smashing, etc. Balance is key to creating a shell of joy outside of a zen inner being.

In the end it is a balance that must be sought and never forgotten. To maintain optimal functionality, a broader mind can create a greater being... As we must tap into the uncharted limits of the human mind.

So this was for all the hard working readers, who put in dozens of hours towards their tasks in order to keep the cogs rotating and the gears functioning of the device entitled "human progress."

Its time to revisit a time that was more fun! Yes yes yes, we have all heard about the story of the time traveling pirate and his parrot, and how caesar followed them with cannons, etc. But I feel the need for something new and something more original.

May the brainstorming begin! So the search for webspace begins.

Jul. 11th, 2005 @ 12:07 am The Break Through
Amongst the commitments and promises I have decided to undertake was to break the ordinary barriers. One was an upcoming bodybuilding contest. Though I would show up out of my prime and that would have been no good. So I wonder if my excuses were convenient, or another way for me to get out of my failure to meet that deadline...

Hmm... Well thats something to ponder. Beyond our threshold. As humans I suppose we are defined by our influence on our surroundings. Despite a lack of control over oneself, a definite impact on our realm can be achieved. Even by the most wretched.

However complete control over oneself. That can only be done by a true zen master.

A wise man, Mr. Lipski, had suggested lifting with a blind fold on. Stimuli sent to the body from the mind, while shutting out one's primary form of perception with relation to the task. Like asking a walrus to walk across the sonoran desert, ROFLOL. That is an example of unlocking a true personal power.

INTRIGUING!


Peace out.
