Even when I do things for the sake of others
No sense of amazement or conceit arises.
It is just like feeding myself;
I hope for nothing in return.

george will can blow me:

"It’s about narcissism, which is why a mirror is absolutely perfect.

So much of what is done on the web is people getting on there and writing their diaries as though everyone ought to care about everyone’s inner turmoils.

I mean it’s extraordinary."

yeah, it blows me away too

if you don't care, then don't read

what's your problem?

brawlin'!!!

consistency



“Success is more a function of consistent common sense than it is of genius." `An Wang

“And this manner of speaking of the Almighty, as one would speak of a man, is consistent with nothing but the stupidity of the Bible" ~Thomas Paine

“Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead." ~Aldous Huxley

stewie gymnastics

yeah, who cares what you say?

you're a dog

you can't see colors

which means you can't see the colors of the american flag

commie

wiii!!!iii!!!iii

teaching iraqi kids some american



this is what you get for $500 billion?

btw that's us taxpayer dollars

so you take $500 billion from the national treasury to take over another country militarily

which coincidentally has the 2nd largest oil reserve on earth

and the cheapest production costs

then when things look bad you blame the us taxpayers

while letting them know concurrently you will be taking another $100 billion

wow

zen



The Master in the art of living makes little distinction

between his work and his play,

his labor and his leisure,

his mind and his body,

his education and his recreation,

his love and his religion.

He hardly knows which is which.

He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does,

leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.

To him he is always doing both.

~Zen Buddhist Text

apparently some can

welcome to the blogosphere, Tom



now fuck off

visit tom's new blog before they started screening comments

see why tom is such a huge fan of christian embassy

who are currently brainwashing the military to put their faith in jesus christ first,

above their faith in their family,

and above their faith in their country

so instead of simon say's

it's jesus say's fight here

or jesus say's kill there

cause jesus was all about killing others for what they control

i'm sure whoever jc is talking to now wouldn't just be pulling shit out of his ass

like tom delay

who calls himself a blogger as he pays others to do his blogging for him

nice

freedom



“Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." ~Benjamin Franklin

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." ~Albert Camus

“When I discover who I am, I'll be free." ~Ralph Ellison

land of hypocrisy



the "land of the free" denies freedom to more people than any other land on earth

the driving force as always is individual greed

privatize prisons and you can cut corners and costs (ie. wackenhut)

plus you can brainwash poorly educated people to build your base

in addition to denying freedom to it's own people

the "land of the free" denies freedom to more people outside it's borders than any other land

through incarceration, economic sanctions, or just killing them straight up under the pretext of a bullshit war on terror

land of the tolerant thin well-educated secular humanists and home of the brave

solidarity



“He is his own best friend, and takes delight in privacy whereas the man of no virtue or ability is his own worst enemy and is afraid of solitude." ~Aristotle

“Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your won presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement." ~Alice Koller

“It is better to be alone than in bad company." ~George Washington

the size of our world

imagine being a hundred million miles away from a star and not being able to see the end of it in any direction

a cute flash of the universe

chomsky on human destiny

"the question in brief is whether democracy and freedom are values to be preserved or threats to be avoided

in this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than values to be treasured; they may well be essential to survival"

worship nature



“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect.
Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful." ~Alice Walker

“If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing,
and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living" ~Henri Poincare

“What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly,
and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of humility.
This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism" ~Albert Einstein

peace takes courage

so let me get this straight

you invade a soverign nation to help its people

you end up spending hundreds of billions of dollars and destroying hundreds of thousands of lives

and it keeps getting worse

so more and more of the people you wanted to help

want you to leave

but you refuse to go

and just keep on building the biggest embassy on the planet

cause that's what jesus would do

easy on the eyes



"We live only to discover beauty
All else is a form of waiting."
~Kahlil Gibran

“No object is so beautiful that,
under certain conditions,
it will not look ugly."
~Oscar Wilde

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and all science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead:
his eyes are closed."
~Albert Einstein

genius


mental energy

Mental energy (e)–the ability to persist for long periods thinking productively about a problem, the ability to focus attention, to shut out distractions, to persist in search of a solution–is perhaps as important as general intelligence (g) in determining both successful performance and constructive achievement and the product of these two variables, g*e, provides the most valid predictor of success and achievement

Archimedes's “awesome mathematical talent was augmented by an ability to devote himself single-mindedly to any problem at hand in extraordinary periods of intense, focused concentration. At such times, the more mundane concerns of life were simply ignored.”

Isaac Newton, asked how he made his remarkable discoveries, replied: ‘I keep the subject constantly before me and wait until the first dawnings open little by little into the full light’

Newton's special gift was: “the power of holding continuously in his mind a purely mental problem until he had seen straight through it”

Charles Darwin wrote: “You have made a convert of an opponent in one sense, for I have always maintained that, excepting fools, men did not differ much in intellect, only in zeal and hard work; and I still think [this] is an eminently important difference.”

Thomas Edison, too, believed that genius was ninety-nine per cent perspiration and one per cent inspiration and he “often work[ed] as many as 112 hours a week”

Most persons who have demonstrated prodigious intellectual achievement–mathematical, scientific, musical, political, artistic, military, entrepreneurial, inventive–possessed, in addition to their special talent, the gift of abundant mental energy, the ability to remain awake and sharply focused for long periods and, when appropriate, able to shut out all distractions

accelerate

“A lie has speed, but truth has endurance.” ~Edgar J. Mohn

“Be slow of tongue and quick of eye" ~Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur.” ~Vince Lombardi


the neocon manifesto

psychos



bush nuts

"Lohse, a social work master’s student at Southern Connecticut State University, says he has proven what many progressives have probably suspected for years: a direct link between mental illness and support for President Bush

The thesis draws on a survey of 69 psychiatric outpatients in three Connecticut locations during the 2004 presidential election

The more psychotic the voter, the more likely they were to vote for Bush

“Our study shows that psychotic patients prefer an authoritative leader,” Lohse says. “If your world is very mixed up, there’s something very comforting about someone telling you, ‘This is how it’s going to be.’”
