An overwhelming desire to piss on every VIP & sabotage every elite status member setup I ever see again in my life. ELITISM is the problem. How casually did you accept the huge VIP zone in front of the main area at Coachella? How easily do you roll with 2nd class as a lifestyle? The disconnect between experiencing the experience and getting the best access/prime elite status is massive. And growing. I cannot stand it. I say fuck Gordon Gecko and the me me me hysteria. Fuck abandoning those special moments of shared enlightenment for the VIP badge. I’m following my dream, not $. I want to be comfortable, not rich. Experience trumps the status. If you disagree, I don’t want to know you.While VIP-grasping friends call you a hippie & laugh, that tugging feeling that NOW matters more than ever is growing. For a vital reason. #SOPA & #NDAA is but one tentacle of the counter offensive against the AWAKENED energy that sparked #Occupy. You cannot be upset enough about what is happening to our nation, but it’s not just fatcats in Congress fucking up. It’s you. It’s me. We accept the casual divides of elitism and belittling the massive indicators that the life we know is utterly fucked and rigged against us. What we choose to accept, how smoothly we align w/the flow is defining us, right now. Those decisions permeate every facet of your life. THAT is why I hold my peers’ feet to flames & question their herd catering. Every hit of a publish button is a flag planted in the ground.

At the end of the day, the internet is not real. The words on the screen aren’t real. What is real is what someone says to you looking directly in your eyes. If they can’t say something that way, then they can’t mean it. And if you refuse to believe it, then that is the truth. Let it be.
— Myself, after I brutally insulted someone on the internet. Then, proceeded to have a private conversation with her so we could both confirm we understood it was all bullshit and fun.

Sometimes, you gotta believe FOR everybody else - and sometimes, you do it by yourself for a long time. Then, if you’re lucky, someone starts…believing with you - first theoretically, then in practice.

But nobody else can believe in you if you don’t believe in what you’re doing.

Beyond a certain point, we take our education into our own hands. We discover what excites us intellectually, and seek it out. The world of books allows us to walk in the shoes of people who lived in other times and other places, who belonged to other races and religions. It allows us to become more humane and open-minded. In exposing us to prose of the highest level, it encourages us to think in a way that isn’t merely “better” but is more fanciful, creative, poetic and expressive. It makes us less boring, and less bore-able.
— Roger Ebert

Before I Figure Out What I Like…

I hate an undeserved sense of entitlement; So you’re daddy or brother or great great grandmother fought the war, what did you do? I hate the mission to pit a nation of peoples against each other; if you can’t stand together, you will all fall together. I hate local town pride with the intent of alienating people; Now your a town of assholes, self-pleasuring assholes. I hate a one-solution-fits-all mentality; Different people in different places with different habits and different ideas, that’s the world we live in. I hate that people are told anything is the way it has to be; re-define what you want to do and how to do it so it may satisfy your own soul, it’s not wrong. I hate evil masked by good; be honest, you fucking hate yourself. I hate the goal of perfect; things will never be perfect, when you think they are then you become history, a relic, forgotten. I hate the greed of intellectual creations; share your ideas and fuel the growth and evolution of the world, we want them. I hate that I have a pile of useless plastic discs sold to me over a decade ago; Why are you still trying to charge for these? I hate snobs; “snob- |snäb| (noun) a person with an exaggerated respect for high social position or wealth who seeks to associate with social superiors and dislikes people or activities regarded as lower-class.” Really? I hate that people criticize matters bigger than “right and wrong” with the notion that they are right; You’re wrong. I hate the suppression of sex, drugs, and rocknroll; let kids learn for themselves that these things are a lifestyle choice, and not allow them to be used as childhood rebellion. I hate that kids are told they can’t think or create; My child is happier than your honor roll genetic clone/robot. I hate that there are people who truly do not see the damage they cause to millions; Think about the consequences of pushing the big red buttons that are each and every one of your actions.

I hate when people hate without explanation;
