Living Intentionally
The more aware I become of my situation, the more room I am finding for intention. When I say intention I mean consciously pursuing or seeking. Everyone behaves in a manner of seeking. Some seeking is the result of addiction, some are unconscious desires, and others are actively pursued for an end result. The anxiety that insecurity brings, the expectations brought upon us, […]
Starting the Conversation
“The electrifying shine of luxury, the stranglehold of habit, and the ease of indifference binds a narrow vision.” I’ve continued to hold onto the desire to reach a larger audience because the current state of conversation is appalling. Things can be better, easier, and more accessible. The trap we often find ourselves in is one […]
Every Breath
Through the consciousness of logic we are able to extend ourselves beyond the point of reflex and mechanism. We extend beyond what we define as “animal” as the distinction between Pavlov and his dogs reflects. It is by logic and memory that we are allowed to function in this manner of expectation. Too often it […]
Amor Fati
“I praise, I do not reproach, [nihilism’s] arrival. I believe it is one of the greatest crises, a moment of the deepest self-reflection of humanity. Whether man recovers from it, whether he becomes master of this crisis, is a question of his strength.” – Friedrich Nietzsche How are we to devote our time as characters […]
The Anxiety of Potential
This is not fantasy. We are suffering. We are fumbling, directionless creatures propelled only by our ego and insatiable desire. There is no time to enjoy the sickening chaos. There is no room for congratulations. There is merely the unacknowledged fear that fuels our illusions of invincibility. The art is inhuman; it exists without permission […]
2015: The Year of Resolve
The first trial of self-determination has been sworn in. France, stand up; together, to defend what is yours. Let these crimes be a calling to everyone. A person’s spirit can never be broken. We will always rally. We will always come together. We will always defend our State, principles, and the convictions so firmly seated […]
The Imitation Game
The question that we must be asking ourselves is, “What is necessary?” If the action in question is, then it is our civil responsibility to see each action through adamantly. Everything contrary to necessity, by our best judgments, and to the limits which our faculties will allow, must be rejected vehemently. Necessity is derived from […]
The Urban Philosopher
The richest man is a beggar. He has the fullest life of leisure. He is a casual observer of sidewalk theatre; front row seats to history’s parades of triumph. Sensing and celebrating our woes and out-of-whack idiosyncrasies. He rejects the obligations which hold small value in the grand scheme of time. A trash bag floating […]
Thoughts from a Hill
The American dream is justly that, the dream we aspire towards. So we, Americans, dream of palatial retreats in the hills, lavish clothing and furniture that represents our character more vividly than one could possibly imagine. We aspire so desperately for wealth and power that we are willing to step on another man’s hand and […]
Food for Termites
I am form. I am energy. I am in a state of constant flux; changing at every fluid, infinitesimal point in time. The calories I consume fuel the fingers which transcribe thoughts. If energy is the prerequisite for life, death is simply the loss of this essential energy. If we are blessed enough to live […]
