  I Grow Impatient.      Patience is a virtue. Everybody, everywhere, can recite that line. It is a phrase which has been used more often than I care to count. From waiting for the right moment to strike, to sitting still and allowing the future to unfold- patience is the cornerstone of all things surrounded.      Regardless, I grow impatient none the less. I grow tired of sitting around, waiting for life to happen. The age-old lie of simply being still, and all that is meant to be will magically appear. The nonsensical ideology that everything is happening as it is meant to happen, exactly when it’s meant to be. The never-ending hours and hours of sitting around, hoping things will one day be okay. ✶      The future is built by those who are brave enough to chase it. Those who are willing to stick their hands into the mud, and dirty themselves for the very goal they wish to achieve. A builder does not build a house, by sitting around wa...

  Money Has Corrupted Our Soul.      Money has created a new system where people no longer understand life. They no longer understand how things work, or what must be done. They no longer respect or understand the tremendous sacrifices and violence it took in order for us to live in a relatively peaceful world. No world is perfect. No time is harmonious. However, make no mistake, we as a society in whole- especially here in the West- have been living in a golden age. ✶      The golden age has been going on for some time now. If I had to pinpoint it, I’d probably say since the end of World War II. After the war, all the men returned to their families, and celebrated life the only way we as humans know how to- Sex. At least, those who did return home. Millions upon millions of souls were lost in the battles. Regardless, as with any time period in the world- tremendous violence leads to unfathomable prosperity.      Life was great. Families...

  Spring Forward.      How do you know when it’s time to pack your bags and go? How can you know when you’ve worn out your welcome, and the time to leave has arrived? How can you feel it, deep inside your soul, when the future is calling- not knowing what awaits outside of the door?      Progress is inevitable. The clock keeps ticking life away, regardless of if you’re paying attention or not. The sands wait for no man.        Why should they? Why should life revolve solely around you? The world doesn’t owe you anything. It doesn’t bend at the mercy of your own will. The truth is- You’re irrelevant. Another name on a long, long list of billions who have came before, and who will come next. A never-ending story of humanity, constantly pushing forward chasing something we cannot quite grasp. ✶      Every man wishes to play God, to a certain degree. To sit here, and say that I have never thought of it, would be a lie. I’...

  Abracadabra      I create as I speak. As I speak, I create.        Words hold more power than one can ever imagine. They have the ability to unlock things, here in life, that we are simply unaware of. Ask anyone who works in sales for a living, and they will tell you the same thing.        When speaking with another individual, certain words trigger certain responses. There is literal magic behind them. If one is to call you a negative word, casting a negative spell upon you, the individual in question will most likely react in a negative way. Call someone and idiot or a dumbass, and they will more than likely respond with hostility. The same can be said about speaking positive instead. Say that someone is gorgeous or beautiful, and they will react in a kind and loving way.      The Universe responds to our words and how we project them. Every single time we open our mouths, we create. Looking for a new opportu...

  Time Travel.      One of the most interesting things I’ve ever read about, is Time-Travel. Not the loopy, “Back To The Future” type stuff. I’m talking more about the idea within itself. The thought of manipulating time, so that man can control it. That man can be in charge of his own destiny. That even the final enemy, will bend towards his will.      What I found so fascinating about it, is more about how we as a species used to think about it in the past. How we used to ponder the questions of the Universe, well before we even had an idea of it being true.      The story of Gilgamesh comes to mind. I believe, within his tale of heroics, the great Gilgamesh speaks of time travel as well. Of being able to manipulate the very substance we find ourselves swimming within, and controlling the outcome of tomorrow. How a story so old, from so many millenniums ago, deals with this- is beyond me.           What st...
