Press Play
You can always rewind back to 2010 and put your issues on repeat. But this is the year the tunes continue to keep on playing through 2011 while you begin to trust whatever melodies come. Press pause when you need to pause and reflect on the moments you’d like to skip. However we all know the music never stops altogether. Just ride them tunes, with a smile, and surprise yourself this coming...

2010: Closing Cycles
One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.
Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come...

Tribute to Infomercials
Infomercials have a knack for providing simple answers to complex problems. In other words, they promote easy methods for accomplishing difficult goals. It is evident that there is a huge market for simple answers. You have one neat solution that accomplishes more with less, in a highly valuable marketplace. We yearn to use technology that delivers new & easy solutions to previously difficult...
Reality
In reality, I have a weird fluid that circles my body, delivering nutrition and oxygen to my cells, that keep another funny organ that’s been implanted in me, beating and alive. The outcome is one queer piece of meat that somehow came to existence, and most importantly - awareness. This odd looking piece of meat lives on a rock so big that some people thought it was flat. This rock is floating in...

The genuine reflections of organized existence
Your skin’s just an excuse to see stars breathe A union of verse impressed upon the proper principles of un- disciplined disciples We’re space gone crazy All atoms juggling in frequency Frequently The galaxy inside of me Wants to figure itself out Completely From dust to dusk returned

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally-conscious, socially-responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday (not withstanding to those who live in the southern hemisphere), practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your...

My biggest advocacy in life.
neusdadt:
My biggest advocacy in life is not to make poverty history, or economic development, or even Socialism — it transcends, and maybe even be the root, of all of those. My biggest advocacy in life is knowledge. And I’m not simply talking about quantifiable manifestations of knowledge such as universal primary education or high IQ statistics. I’m talking about the ability to think for one’s...
