Preach.

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley

Another female conundrum.

I always told myself if I found a man who met each aspect of my unattainable checklist, I would appreciate him. It turns out this is so much easier said than done. He has no kids, crazy exes, or annoying habits. He's college educated, makes me happy, and doesn't mind me fitting him into my already overlapping schedule. I didn't meet him in a club, he hasn't smashed any of the homies and (here goes the kicker) he not only doesn't judge me for laying naked in bed for hours while watching Family Guy, he actually enjoys joining me in doing so.
Perfect right? so what's the issue? Why do I feel like I make him pay for everyone of my douchebag ex boyfriends mistakes? Sometimes I find myself subjecting him to my emotional rants even when I can't remember why I'm mad at him in the first place. Can I not be an emotional ticking time bomb when the men before him laid the foundation and built the bomb themselves? Can one ever truly immerse themselves in a relationship without any of their past insecurities creeping back into view? When you think you're getting good at protecting yourself from the bad ones, you forget how to drop your guard long enough to let the good ones get close.

You say "Hippie" like it's a bad thing.

Do I like sitting in the grass and enjoying good music? Yes.
Do I enjoy partaking in hallucinogenic greenery? Of course.
Do I often disagree with mainstream politics and judgmental fag-tards? Indubitably.
Do any of these things "make" one a "Hippie"? In a word, no.

What "I am" is too complex to be defined by a played out, overused adjective that's lost its original meaning over the generations. Thinking independently from mainstream media, recognizing that underground musicians are often more talented and less "I sold my soul to make a dollar", these things are gifts. Most people can't see past the whole "I have to dress in what obscure, self proclaimed fashionistas tell me to" but when you find the beauty in things that you find enjoyable and embrace freedom of thought, action, belief and expression, you don't feel the need to define yourself in a word. So in a word, no. I am not a hippie. I am a human. thanks.

Facebook is evil.

What was facebook made for? was there honestly a new, original purpose for the "social networking site" other than maybe to steal myspace's clientele and shine? Surely the creator didn't sit his nerdy ass in his room surrounded by web page design manuals typing design codes away feverishly just so we could one day stalk our significant other's page or keep up with the monotonous lives of people who won't matter in ten years. Im sure his master plan wasn't for a bunch of jailbait teeny boppers to get half naked and take pictures standing in front of the mirror idiotically while people are out living real lives... but that's what it's used for. Facebook is evil, and it will take over your free time and strangle the  life out of your relationships if you let it.

“A wise girl kisses but doesn’t love, listens but doesn’t believe, and leaves before she is left.”
- Marilyn Monroe

What happens when girls force themselves to be "wise" for so long that they forget how to feel love when kissing a man? or believing a word that comes out of his mouth? and what happens when she leaves so damn often that when she finally finds the one worth staying for, she has no idea how to keep herself from running away?
As far as girls go, I may be the "wise"-est. But "wise" doesn't greet me at the door or promise me a future better than my past. Maybe superficial relations with men prove to be fun, but they don't fullfill. I deserve love, honesty, and continuous happiness. It may be the opposite of Monroe's definition, but I feel all the wiser for realizing it.

over it.

You promised me better than my past,

And for months, I thought you meant it,

You showed me “real” loved,

And at last, I wasn’t scared to say it.

But then the fascade, it faded,  

And your lies they grew like flames,

You’re just a selfish little boy,

Who lived to play the game.

In you I see the darkness,

There is no "heart of gold".

You’re a wolf in sheep attire,

And from day one I was your fool. 

Alien Conspiracy Rant

Have you ever had one of those drunken or impaired deeply moving conversations that you were lucky enough to remember the next day? Well, recently a somewhat inebriated conversation was the catalyst to my interest in aliens. I know, I know... Even as I write this I can feel people tuning out, but the more research I have conducted on one event specifically, the more I am starting to open my mind to the possibility that "we aren't alone" out here. After all, the philosophy that we are the only intelligent life form in this vast galaxy is a little arrogant, isn't it?  Anyway, the one specific event I am referring to is the design and construction of the pyramids in Egypt. There are three major points that I found interesting that strongly suggest extraterrestrial intervention.

First, the pyramids are proven to be constructed with two types of stones. Limestone is the first and it is a relatively soft stone to cut through for extracting purposes with a Mohs hardness scale of 4. (The scale ranges from 0-10, 10 being the strongest material to cut through.) The second rock used in the construction was Granite which is slightly stronger with a Mohs hardness rating of 6-8 depending on the density of the stone. According to officials, the tools used for extraction of the pyramid stones were made out of copper which has a Mohs hardness rating of 3. (Please note, copper's hardness rating of 3 is less than, and therefore softer than the hardness rating of both limestone and granite) Hmmm, they were carving these massive structures with tools made from a material weaker than themselves? Have you ever tried to cut a diamond with a butter knife? Other than feeling extremely moronic, you probably realized it ain't happenin' captain.

Also, how did they move these unfeasibly large rocks from the various stone quarries that the stones were extracted from, through hundreds of miles of Egyptian terrain to the building site of the Great Pyramid? Well...Experts insist that a log rolling technique was used where the rocks were placed on top of various smoothed out trees and rolled to the construction site. Yeah, that makes sense, especially considering these stones ranged from 1 to 20 tons in weight and well over 100,000 stones were used in the construction of the pyramid. In an attempt to entertain this theory.. Er... explanation, let's think logically, if you are rolling a 1 - 20 ton rock over trees, wouldn't the trees endure some wear and tear, making them unusable for future rolling? With over 100,000 stones to roll, and being unable to reuse the rolling trees for more than one stone, that would mean you would need at least a half a million trees, which, given the terrain and lack of tree cutting machinery, is about as probable as little green men beaming these huge structures down from the sky. Also, the primary tree grown in Egypt is date trees. What civilization would cut down an entire species of trees that they relied on for food, in an attempt to build a tomb? Hmm.

Let's just say you are delusional enough to think that ancient Egyptians cut down these rocks with primitive, unfit materials and exterminated a large supply of their food rearing trees for transportation...  (Achem, achem)

One last thing I want to highlight is the impeccable records that Ancient Egyptians kept. Their ancient hieroglyphics carved in stone recount activities such as Pharaoh procession, the building of structures, their primitive forms of hunting and obtaining food, important births, etc... Yet somehow a structure that ("experts" claim) took over 40 years and 10,000 laborers to erect, didn't make the cut? There is no evidence in hieroglyphics or otherwise that Egyptians recorded their building of the Great Pyramid. One thing that was recorded though, was the "sky gods" who visited the Egyptians and imparted on them wisdom and new technological insight. In the ancient depictions, (one of which I will include in the blog) the Egyptians are sitting below a large, spherical object in the sky that features "rays" shooting down to the ground.

There are many more pieces of evidence that refute the idea that the pyramids were made at the hands of man alone. One may question how the pyramids are designed exactly in line with certain constellations, when knowledge of these things was primitive at best or how the ramps were created to transport the stones higher up on the pyramid, yet none of the "ramp stone debris" were uncovered... If I wasn't already drained from my conspiracy rant, I would go into further detail, but instead I am going to encourage you to do your own research and formulate your own ideas. Whether you choose to believe the politically correct, generally accepted version of "the truth" or go against the grain, do so because you genuinely strive for enlightenment. Being informed and having the ability to formulate your own opinions and accepting your own truths is a luxury often taken for granted and wasted on idle minds.
