The Northern 📍

  The Vision.      I’ve had Aerosmith’s song, Amazing, stuck in my head for the past few days. Everywhere I go, I keep on singing it. The lyrics are engrained in my head, causing me to think about them 24/7. With a blink of an eye, you finally see the light. That one bar, forever stuck inside my head.      The blink is here. I have seen the light. I have seen the need for my existence. The ability to work and create something which has never been done. The attempt to build up, from scratch, something so deep and profound, that even the greatest of minds will sit back in awe at the complexity. The capacity to truly start from scratch, with absolutely zero, and design a world where imagination is to run wild and free. So is the way of the creator. So is the way of those who dare to dream.      Creation is something which is extremely difficult. Not only is it something which literally must appear from nothing, it is also something which no...

  Where Do Ideas Come From?      Late at night, when you lie in your bed. In the shower, with the water pouring down your back. All alone, floating in the middle of the lake. Where do your ideas come from, when they pop into your head?      The question is one which is worth examining. Not so many as the physical location, but the spiritual and mental location as well. I always remember a video of Rick Ross, explaining that any creation of an idea is a spiritual process. One must be willing to reach deep into their mind, and pull something out, creating it in the physical world. If that isn’t magic, then I do not know what is.        The reason I ask is because the mind is one of the least understand aspects of humanity. We can understand how our bodies work, no problem. We can figure out how to manipulate the environment around us, easily. However, when it comes to our minds, most individuals are still clueless in how to navigate i...

  Democracy Dies In Denial.      Here I was, thinking that things would always end in a bang. Instead, I’ve come to realize, they die with a whimper.      The inevitable change of society is taking place, and there isn’t much we can do about it. The never-ending propaganda machine has claimed too many victims, too many followers. These followers are sworn by the system, and are willing to defend it no matter the cost. No matter if other people die. No matter how violent it gets. They truly believe that they are on the right side of history, supporting the most prolific killing machine of all time.        This false-sense of belonging is nothing new. In fact, it’s critical for the machine to have the support of these idiots in order to achieve its plan of taking over. Over and over again, these individuals have been referred to as “Useful Idiots” throughout history. Every single society which goes through this transition requires ind...

  What A Wonderful Day!      I keep on hearing that line from the new Planet of the Apes movie, coming out today. Look at me go, advertising for a series that I’ll make zero dollars from!      What a wonderful day, indeed. What a wonderful day to ponder the question- could monkeys run this planet better than we could? Could they govern the Earth and do a better job?      Honestly, it feels like a trick question. The answer is probably not so black and white. What I would say though, is that the monkeys would probably be way less corrupt than humans are. They’d probably be less willing to make shoddy deals behind everyones back, to simply benefit their own hide. I like to believe that monkeys would not reach the level of corruption humans have, simply for their lack of experience. Have no fear tho- I guaranteed they’d get there, one day.      Wasn’t life much more enjoyable before realizing the entire thing is a show? Befor...

Dune. What a movie. What a scene.      The entire film, lasting almost 3 hours, was unreal. Definitely the best cinematic experience I’ve had in years, probably since the last Avengers movie if I’m being honest. To say it was great would not doit justice to say the least.      Everybody is jumping on the Dune train right now, no question about it. Every single person, who hates being left out, is jumping ship to promote Denis Villeneuve’s latest masterpiece. And rightfully so. Denis does an incredible job directing the entire series. The film is shot beautifully, with many different scenes, all helping invoke different emotions and feelings. From the harsh, red desert, to the black and white world of the Harkkonen- Denis delivers a masterpiece.      Coincidentally, he also directed Scicario. The movie I spoke briefly about yesterday. It too was a masterpiece, in its own sense. Overall, Denis has been delivering film after film, truly hitting ...

  Leap Day, Leap Year.      Yesterday, I lost power at my place. A storm rolled through the neighbourhood and knocked us off the power grid for most of the day.      I’ve experienced not having power before, and honestly it’s never really bothered me too much. However, losing power in the dead of winter, when it’s freezing cold outside- sucked. I was unable to perform any of my regular tasks, missing my workouts. No access to heat, water or internet made things challenging to say the least. Regardless, life waits for nobody. I had to find a way forward.      What transpired yesterday can be called an unexpected day off. A day, where I took time to truly sit back and reflect on it all. Actually, that might be a bit of a lie. I took time to really do nothing instead. To be completely free from all forces, and allowing myself to simply hang. My first day off, in forever. I can’t even tell you how long it’s been.        O...
