Consolidated Thoughts: November, 2009

  • It’s that time again, getting my mind on with everything.
  • Gathering those very things and placing them in relative order.
  • It takes a great amount of time to mend entirely.
  • Once order sets in, things fall apart.
  • In that sense, Chaos may be the order of the day.
  • The perpetuation of the current situation is fascinating.
  • And mind-numbing.

Consolidated Thought: October, 2009

  • The Ego > The Devil

Consolidated Thoughts: September, 2009

  • It seems as though people come to libraries to rent movies and connect to the internet.
  • Although an endless stream of knowledge can be gained through these mediums; an incredible amount of known knowledge is well over-looked.
  • Research isn’t what it use to be.
  • Our ancestors were much more intelligent, and much more in-tuned with the universe than we are now.
  • Humanity is now collapsing under our passive stupidity.

Consolidated Thoughts: August, 2009

  • Got locked-in to something sinister last night.
  • James Bond is Captain Save-A-Ho.
  • You can’t turn a hoe into a housewife.
  • Unfortunately, I’ve witnessed this first hand. Not to my person; rather, a fallen brother, blinded.
  • A life tormented.
  • Not by thoughts; like my own. But a righteous life, sacrificed; of joy and pain for all of us.
  • A life that’s been lived in all of it’s human indulgence; incomparable, and decadent.
  • A glorious man.
  • Such misery, I believe, is reserved for the tormented soul; the strongest of survivors.
  • A soul that needs such guidance.
  • This is my brew.
  • A man that I look up to, and yet, a man that I frown upon.
  • Godspeed, brother. I only hope that my heart can beat as strong as yours.
  • Our hardships are our own.

Consolidated Thoughts: July, 2009

  • I once spoke to a wise, drunken homeless man that told me: “Learn how to live off the land, brother.”
  • It took me a long minute to understand what exactly he was talking about.
  • Through trials and tribulations, his advice became apparent.
  • When you get down to brass tacks, it is quite simple.
  • Why is it that Death & Taxes is always certain?
  • I imagine that once the first thinker broke it all the way down, the ‘no brainer’ became apparent.
  • I also imagine that the first thinker understood the power of simplicity.
  • Furthermore, I believe that those that simplify thought, are the same that change the world for the good of the people.
  • Revolution is not for the faint.

Consolidated Thoughts: June, 2009

  • Good beer does not need catch words like ‘drinkability.’
  • Drinkability leads to drunkenness.
  • Drunkenness leads to great stupor.
  • Becoming stuporous, can be very difficult to recover from.

Consolidated thoughts: Mayo, 2009

  • Once the party is turned on, why turn it off?
  • As cliché as this sounds, who will argue this point?
  • Turn on. Tune in. Drop out. Blow up. Burn out. Fade away. Same difference.
  • I now believe that it is fear that is man’s ultimate driving force; As it is his greatest undoing.
  • This is to say that laziness can easily, albeit stubbornly, be persuaded.
  • Matter of fact: It is our direct participation in life that emphasizes our existence.
  • Why not do something influential?
  • After all, It takes a certain amount of soul to live the life.
  • And who doesn’t want to be heard?
  • Think slowly. Choose wisely. Live lively.

Consolidated Thoughts: Abril, 2009

  • It’s amazing just how much stimulation the human brain can handle.
  • However, it is possible to overload the senses.
  • This is why some people become catatonic off of bags of Chronic.
  • Always remember to check your head.
  • As the psyche awakens, all senses become tangible.
  • This is just with pain, as it is with pleasure.
  • So logically: As we strive to become Human, we innately become ourselves.
  • This is to say: Just Be.
  • Our insecurities are what makes our individual experiences unique.
  • Then again, our insecurities are the same driving force that can, and will, make us f*ck up.
  • Therefore: The individual that accepts all of their naked vulnerability will exceed expectations.
  • This is not to say that pussy-footing is okay; it’s not. This is to say: Wise-up, and embrace your flaws.
  • Once you’re in accordance with yourself, you will become stronger than them f*cking shades.

Consolidated Thoughts: March, 2009

  • I need studio space.
  • I’m coming to grips with where I’m at, and where I stand.
  • On the one hand, I am an epic failure; on the other, I’ve accomplished many feats that has influenced many people.
  • My greatest undoing is the fact that I know the way, but I just don’t know what to say.
  • Live. Try. Fail. Succeed.
  • I remember thinking: F*ck everybody standing behind you. Why? Because they’re standing behind you.
  • The filthy rich have dirty money.

Consolidated Thoughts: February, 2009

  • How many hits does it take before a meme becomes a meme?
  • Meme : Mimicry : Emulation
  • When a Soul enters the fetus, that is when life begins.
  • So logically, by the time a human being is three months into this World, they would have advanced one year.
  • Deeper still, Our minds essentially have light years of untapped knowledge.
  • And all we can think of is what to eat.

Consolidated Thoughts: January, 2009

  • Drunk people are not all that interesting.
  • Drink less.
  • Kill your T.V.
  • Skate more.
  • Read more.
  • Space and Time are malleable.
  • Malleable : Pliable : Bent
  • Sources for achievement in a country: Values, Beliefs, Ideology
  • Sources for failure in a country: Values, Beliefs, Ideology
  • Be sober when quoting those you revere.

Consolidated Thoughts: December, 2008

  • If you add an S to laughter, you get Slaughter.
  • This should be the goal of any individual looking for recognition.
  • Slay your opponents, hush the crowd, and lead the followers responsibly.
  • Those that abuse power, will ultimately be abused.
  • Therefore responsibility and discipline are the ultimate testament for a human being.
  • Forget not the joy of laughter.
  • Remember the pain of sacrifice.

Consolidated Thoughts: November, 2008

  • Remember, remember the 4th of November!
  • I’ve always liked November. I think it’s the cold that I like, particularly it’s the white skies.
  • I don’t care so much for the grey clouds; the white skies that are intriguing.
  • Grey clouds are dreary, white skies are vibrant.
  • During the Fall/Winter seasons, I tend to gravitate towards Jazz.
  • In my mind, Jazz compliments these seasons best.
  • I feel more-so of a connection with the overall tone, whilst in the midst of the coldness.
  • If you ever take the initiative to listen to Jazz, consider this: A well made composition will make you reflect on your life. However, a revered, classic composition will stir up tears.
  • Just listen.

Consolidated Thoughts: October, 2008

  • I now realize that the majority of American people are far too conditioned beyond repair.
  • It takes a nation of people to take the power back.
  • Yes, our nation has become exceedingly neurotic.
  • Yes, we are morally corrupt.
  • Yes, we avoid crucial conflicts.
  • Yes, I am angry just like you.
  • No, I will not apologize.
  • I can’t stress enough, how much Politickin’ ain’t easy.
  • I’ve had a conversation with a homeless man that was far more intellectual than a politician. (This obviously put me in my place, and put things into perspective.)
  • The homeless man made it easier to dissect myself; Which in-turn, simplified social structures.
  • Everybody has an asshole on them.
  • One thing that resonated with me was: ‘You have to forget about yourself, and learn how to live off the land.’
  • I didn’t quite understand this until I started building things for the people.
  • This is where the whole ‘Build it and they will come’ theory comes into play.
  • Yes, I am everyday people. Just like Sly, and just like Speech.
  • Yes, I do build upon my ancestors path, and I stand firmly upon their shoulders.
  • No, I will not apologize.
  • No, I will not grovel at any beings feet because of ‘high’ status, nor should they act any different because of their prowess.
  • The vanity of the ego will surely be the demise of any noble man.
  • Be careful when pursuing knowledge; isolation can become comforting.
  • Knowledge is innate within each individual, however, it is up to us to delve into that void. This void is very intense, which is why a lot of people are stupid.
  • Once you’re in it, you’re in it! Nothing can move you. You’re everywhere, and nowhere. Time and space dematerialize.
  • When an individual encounters the Universe, mindfulness is key.
  • DO NOT self-destruct.
  • Step lightly, smash concrete.

Consolidated Thoughts: September, 2008

  • It seems that September tends to be a disastrous month.
  • Cabin fever is very real.
  • Too much time with family can drive you crazy.
  • It is important to unplug from technology every now and then. Otherwise, you risk the possibility of becoming a tool.
  • I dislike putting music into genres.
  • If you feel it and it moves you, then it’s good music.
  • If it makes you do what you damn well please, then it’s damn good music.
  • I have since learned that it is best to get out of your own way.
