The Northern 📍

  History Is Being Written.      Watching the history of the World is a daunting task to say the least. We humans have accomplished so much, it a relatively short period of time. We have truly written one of, if not the, greatest saga’s ever told. Yet despite all we’ve written- there’s still so much to unfold.      Losing the Library of Alexandria was potentially the worst tragedy to ever befall history. We as a civilization lost so much knowledge of the past within those flames, never to be recovered again. It becomes almost mind-bending when you realize that 95% of history has been lost forever. Think of all the great kings and conquests which we openly talk about and study. Now think about all the stories we’ll never even know.      Time is truly undefeated. It is a vial filled with sand, slowly erasing all which it consumes. Someday, perhaps not too far, we as a race may not even know about Ancient Greece or Sumer. We may not even kn...

  Winds Of War.      Can you feel it? The cool, cool breeze, rushing against your skin? Gently caressing it, as it rolls across the plains?      Make no mistake- the winds of war are here. The time has come, and the world is ready. The entire planet, slowly preparing for the inevitable to hit them close to home. The dawn of violence approaches. The battle for Earth has begun.      Death readies his appearance, for the hour is much later than we had imagined. The inner-workings of the greta machine have already begun to turn. The entire world can feel the rumble, as the gears slowly begin to grind. Metal on metal. Fire with fire. War.      Europe has a tremendously rich history, dealing with violence. The entire continent is plagued with death and revolution. It truly is the most active continent across the globe. For thousands of years, the Mediterranean has been the source of all life and conflict. The entire world, revol...

  Habits.      Habits are what make anything possible. Not routine. Habits.      Routine kills. Plain and simple. The purpose of routine is to run thru the motions, until eventually you’re nothing more than a shell. A hardened, strengthened shell, perhaps. But a shell, none the less. Life slowly becomes nothing more than a constant check-list. A run-thru of doing certain tasks, over and over again. Gym, every single morning at 7am. Breakfast, every single day at 9am. Work, every single day at 12pm. And over and over again.      The creation of routine is designed to slowly suck the life out of you. Slowly, but surely, remove your body from your spirit. Next thing you know, you’re doing all these different things, without getting anywhere. You’ve created the perfect recipe for running in place. Constantly on the go, with nowhere to run to. Most individuals die to routine, in one way or another.      Habits, on the other han...

  The Future Remains Unwritten.      On days like today, I do my best to remind myself that very sentence. That the future is still up for grabs. That we do not know what lies ahead, meaning there’s still time to change it.      As long as there is a future, there is hope. Not only for us individuals, who are caught in the greatest shift the world has ever seen. But also for those who have not yet landed, who have not yet been born into this world. The future is still unwritten, meaning there is still time for us to come together and change its path.      Some days feel grim. I won’t lie or sugar-coat it. Some days, all hope seems lost. All faith, tested. The darkness closes in from all angles, creating nothing more than the illusion of hopelessness. Which is exactly what it is- an illusion. A grand scheme, to help toss the world into complete chaos. To create an illusion so powerful, that even the strongest of us all succumb to its magi...

  Hey, Hey- I Wanna Be A Rock Star.      Nickleback is a good rock band. There, I said it. No regrets.      For some reason, they get hated on a lot. Almost like a bad joke, where everybody has been brainwashed into simply hating them because they think it’s cool. Because they think it’s the fun thing to do. Crazy how nobody can think for themselves anymore, eh?      When you take a step back and analyze it, you realize most things today are simply hated on because it’s considered cool. The ability to analyze things and form your own opinion upon them is a dying art to say the least. Music is a prime example. Most people simply listen to a song, and hold no opinion over it. They simply spend their time, looking around, waiting to see what everybody else thinks. They want to fit in with the crowd so bad, that they keep silent until they’re told how to act.      In today’s world, people are afraid to be individuals. They’re ...
