The Power of Words

01:28 Feb 16 2006
Times Read: 562


Over the past few months I’ve had an idea rolling around about the power of words. I know most people think, “They are just words”. I must admit that this is true. So I thought more about the concept and realized that I was looking at it from too broad of a view. I needed to look at the characters themselves. So here’s what I am coming to realize.

The English language has 26 letters in it.

Adding in the numbers or digits, of which there is 10

Throw in all the little symbols that we use from time to time. There are about 50

And lets not forget those little used ones. Say about 10 or so

That gives us about 100 characters in our American/English language.

With those 100 little characters we can put them into combinations and form ANY thought. Yes some are longer then others, but ANYTHING can be put down, even music and art. Remember the old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. I do believe that this may be a bit of a small understatement. But none-the-less, it can be done.

Just think about it for a second. A cure for cancer and aids, cold fusion, faster then light travel, even ending world hunger are there for us to find. All we need to do is find the right combination of characters. All the answers are there, waiting for us to find and use. It is all a numbers game. The funny thing is that this thought can be used for anything.

Just to fuck with your mind a bit here an concept I had when I was still in kindergarten. Lets say you have a glass box. Make this box 10’ by 10’ by 10’. You can see clearly through to the other side. We are going to fill this glass box with a bunch of smaller boxes. BUT these smaller boxes are 1/1000th of an inch on each side. They also come in all the colors we know of. Also within this large box, if we were to place a small box in it, it would stay exactly where we put it. So you could have a floating small box in the middle of the large one.

Ok now you have the pieces needed for this concept. Here’s the kicker. If you were to place the right colored poxes in the right places, you can have a three-definitional image of ANYTHING. Most people I explain this to think ‘so what, we have this all the time. It’s called TV’. This is wrong. TV only copies images put into it. My concept is that we make anything. And thus we are only limited by our own imaginations.

With this concept we would be able to see things that no human has EVER seen before. We can also cater to our own egos. With this everything is possible. You want to see a sunset, easy. How about you standing beside your favorite actor or pop-star? Now we take this concept a step further. Let’s take these small boxes and make them the size of an atom. Now lets replace the colors with elements.

What did I just do? I just gave you part of the answer to the universe. The other part is finding the right combination of elements and locations.

The world we live in is one large math equation. Causality, Ciaos Theory, Algorithms, Randomization, and other sciences are just concepts of trying to find shortcuts to those answers. Yes the world is full of patterns. Some of then are easy to see and there fore easy to predict what is coming next. But there are others that are not as easy to see. It is a game we all play weather we want to or not. The questions are out there waiting. Who am I? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? All of these questions have answers. And ALL of those answers use those 100 characters, in one combination or another.

So to help out the world, as well a I am going to answer every question in the world, solve every problem that humanity has, and predict every outcome from here to the end of time all at once.

C to the X power

There it is kiddies the equation to answer every question, problem and thought in the heads of humanity. And I did it with only 16 characters. WOW. As for the answers of what C and X are that would take more characters to explain. So here’s the guide

C = one of the 100 characters in our language

X = the number of letters to full explain the answer to any question, thought, problem or idea.

The right combination of letters and the right length answers them all.

So I leave you with this thought.

“The answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42. What you really need to think about is the question.”

Maybe there is more truth is this quote when people give it credit for. . .

Grow Up

01:26 Feb 16 2006
Times Read: 564


As my readers know, at times I just LOVE to rant about the stupidity of the human race. And here's a good one for you all. I am titling it GROW UP for a reason. All this political correctness is total bullshit!

First off I am an equal opportunity hater. This means that I hate everyone equally. If I hear a sexist joke that is funny, I laugh. If I hear a funny racist joke I laugh at it as well. It is called dark humor and I rather enjoy it.

The other day I heard, to me, a rather funny racist joke toward blacks. One of my friends, who happens to be black got offended and started going of the repression of his people in the past. Needless to say it was riveting 10 minute whine about nothing.

People, I have never owned a slave. He has never been a slave. What he is whining about is in the past with people we have most likely never met. It makes no sense to go on about how 'his people' where this or that. His people??? Now that's a sexist thought! He has his 'own' people. WOW and here I thought we were all one people! Stupid me.

But back to my main point. Ms. Janet Jackson 'somehow' managed to show her breast during the half time show. (and wouldn't you know it. The one time I decide NOT to watch, this happens!!!) Now the FCC and all the whiners are having a field day with this.

Okay REALITY CHECK peeps!!! She showed her breast, her boob, her tittie, her jug, and countless other slang like words. My point is summed up in one simple word. That word is 'and'? We have ALL seen them. We all know what they look like. And the last time I checked, it is in the standard equipment package that comes with a woman.

So why is the FCC and church goers freaking out about this? The answer is simple. They want to shield the general population from thinking for them selves. Now the FCC is claiming that they are going to lay out fines. Because it was 'Obscene'

The FCC defines obscene as describing sexual conduct "in a patently offensive way" and lacking "serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value." Indecent material is not as offensive but still contains references to sex or excretions.

I can only assume that these people do not watch TV at all these days. I mean look at the Jerry Springer show. This can remain on TV without a problem, but a tit is shown on live TV and there is hell to pay. (As a side note I rather enjoy the Jerry Springer show. It's funny as hell). Or, heaven forbid, what if these people were to see a National Geographic about the tribes of Africa!!!!!!!

After many hours of thought (and several beers) I found the answer. People expect that from the Jerry Springer show. They tune in for EXACTLY that. They want to see the lowest common denominator of human society fight it out on TV. Who knows, maybe it's the stupid persons 'Days of our lives'.

Whatever the case, we as human society need to grow up. We are all; (well at least most of us) mature adults. I think we can handle a little nudity in our lives. And for those of you screaming about the children who saw it... NEWS FLASH!!!! It is most likely that those children have all ready seen or done worse. These kids know what sex is and know of more sexual positions they we did at their age. Hell it wouldn't phase me if they all knew about it before the halftime show. Why do you think they REALLY wanted to see the show? DUH!

I'm sure that some people have heard the phrase “People who are board are boring people"; well I have one of my own!! "People who are easily offended are offensive people". This means if you don't like what's on TV, CHANGE THE FUCKING CHANNEL. You do know how to use a remote don't you? If you don't like a nudie bar, don't go in.

I know some people would whine that they had no warning that it was going to happen and if they knew, and then they wouldn't watch. Using the same logic. Chances are that if you watch TV you might see nudity. If you drive (or ride) in a car, you might get in a wreck. If you live you ARE going to die.

Look accept the fact that it happened and MOVE ON. By the time you have seen it and got offended about it, it's in the past. It's done and over with. It's called life. Do you really want to die being butt-hurt?

All I'm really trying to say is that, we all have to live on this rock. So let's make the most of it and try not to act super sensitive to the world around us. I know it's a blow to the ego, but the world well go on, weather we are here or not. Yes one person CAN make a difference, but stop and think. SHOULD that person really try to stop and make a difference? There are causes worth fighting for, and there are those that are just a waste of time.

Sure save the trees, the whales, the rain forests, and other limited resources, but for Gods sake be an adult about it. I really don't think a child is going to be scared for life if he or she sees a tittie on TV. Hell most of the time they learn from your responses anyway. They have seen they who know how many times before. To them it's normal. But hay look how mom and dad get all offended when they see one. They look at this as a way to get attention.

For those of you who are not totally lost here's an example for you. A child is running around the house. He trips and his head on the side of the coffee table. The child is going to hit the floor, then look to his parents for cues as to what to do. Of course mommy and daddy are trained to get all freaked out and pamper the child. The child takes this to mean that he should cry and cry should he even get the tiniest of bruises.

Now take two. The child hits the coffee table, falls to the floor and looks to the parents for cues. As a parent use the COMMON SENSE to do list.

1. Is the child still moving?

If yes, go to question 2

If no, begin to panic

2. Is there blood

If yes, clean up blood and check wound

If no, Go to question 3

3. Does the hit seem to effect the childs thinking?

If no, then your child is Okay

If yes, Hay Darwinism at it's finest

To get along in this planet, I have taken it upon myself to make some simple rules to follow. These are only suggestions but do have something most rules don't have. COMMON SENSE!!!

1. Grow up

2. Ask yourself why you are offended about something

3. Accept that people are different from yourself

4. Accept that things do happen that you are not ready for

5. Think for yourself

6. Live your life to the fullest according to what you believe is right

7. Try not to go out of your way to piss off others

8. Learn to relax and try new things

9. Do NOT try to change other people, because they do not believe the way you do

10. Life is a one shot thing. Do you really what to waste it being a dick?

The Need to Feel Accepted



Let's face it we, well at least most of us, are warm blooded mammals. As so we have had built into our DNA the need to be in a herd. We are social creatures by nature. And there is nothing wrong with that. We are human and the thought of being with others gives us some comfort.



If you believe in evaluation we were, at one point, monkeys swinging from the trees. The key word there is monkeys. We have always felt the instinctive need to be with others. We also feel the need to find a mate and procreate. It is in all of us and it is who and what we are.



No matter how you look at it, we need others around us. We need to feel accepted by someone. Other then need for survival it is by far the strongest drive for people. But we need to get down to the root of the subject. We have, over the past couple of centuries, have come up with really fucked up ideas of what is acceptable for a mate. What do we look for in other people to be considered a friend, or even a mate?

Is it the like interests we have with other people that we call them friends, or is it something deeper? Does there need to be a spiritual connection, at some level, to be a friend or is it what they have or who they know?



If you are hanging out with someone, and claiming to be their friend because of what they have or who they know, be honest with yourself at least. You are using that person. I could care less about weather you are not, just accept the fact that you are. It is a means of survival. But can you really call them a friend or a resource which you are currently milking?



If you do have a spiritual connection with someone, then allow me to ask a simple question. What is that connection? Is it just the fact that you have the same things in common? Or is it something deeper that you really can't explain?



Also how deep does the friendship go? We have all, as a child, been with a friend, and swore to be with them through thick and thin. But how many times when something bad happened, your friends were nowhere to be found? Do you, in the deepest part of your heart, know that if you were arrested at 2 AM, you could call a friend and they would be there to help you out? The fact is that we use the word ‘friend' very loosely.



Remember this quote “A friend well come to the police station to help you out and ask ‘what did you do?’ A true friend would be sitting beside you asking ‘what did we do?”



If you think that is bad, think about our standards for a mate. Now before I go fully into this I do understand that as time goes by, peoples needs evolve to suit the world we live in.



When we were still living in caves and hunting wild whatevers, what we looked for as a mate was fairly simple. Human, living, able to hunt, and could start a fire. These were the traits of the most eligible bachelors at the time.



But over the years we ‘evolved' and became more ‘civilized'. These two words alone are open to definition and change from person to person and from second to second. In the renaissance, is where everything began to take a turn for the worse. We started looking for social skills and signs of status to be worthy of mating with.



Now in today’s day and age we look for some of the strangest stuff. Yes a $30,000 wristwatch does show signs of wealth, but it also show signs of pure stupidity. A sports-car also shows signs of money and job security as well as no concept of forethought.



If anything we as people should look for the basics and ignore all the candy that can be gained or lost as time goes by. Unless you are shallow and don't really care, money is one of the worst things to judge someone on. Of course this does lead to the question of why the hell are you reading this rant this far?



When we go out in the world we instinctively look for certain things on a sub continuances level. We are still animals deep inside and those animalistic desires should not be ignored. We want to feel needed and protected. We also want to know that our mate is able to help care for us, as well as the possibility of having offspring with.



For some reason we associate these concepts with material things looks, and popularity. All of which are gifts from the master called society, and all of them come with a cost.

Book Chapter 1

What is Society?



Society is an illusion of what the public defines as normal, acceptable and trendy. Ever sense one man was jealous of what another had; society had played a role in our lives. The best example I can give is teenagers. Almost all of them are slaves to society and its demands.



Have you ever heard a teenager say "I'll just die if I don't....", or "But everyone else is doing it". Both of these are cries of the slave to society. A teenager believes he or she needs to have the latest, trendiest items out that week. One day a style of blue jeans are cool, if you don't have a pair within a week you are uncool and cast out by your social group. That poor slave was not fast enough or good enough, and for that the master punished him or her for his or her inability to act correctly in a reasonable amount time.



Another case is the latest nightclub. The teenager, or now young adult, needs to go there. Why? Because all his or her friends are going to be there. It is a status symbol to get into the nightclub. Sometimes even standing in line outside the front door, for hours in the cold is enough to show your master that you tried your best to get in the door.



In New York City in the 70s was a little nightclub. This nightclub was the trend setter at the time. They found the key to using society to their advantage. They claimed that only those who were worth knowing were on the inside and if you were cool enough you might, just might, be able to get inside.



This is where things get funny their lie was so believable that everyone, including themselves, believed it. Society was fooled for a bit, but soon became the master again. People lined up outside, in the cold, in hopes that they were cool enough to get inside.



The need to be accepted, to be part of the ‘in' crowd, was the only thing that mattered to those out in the line. It is here that the oxymoronism takes full effect. These people went there with their friends, their chosen family, in hopes that they can get inside. Should one be chosen to be lucky enough to be allowed inside, most of the time they would abandon their friends to get inside. Why? To be part of the ‘in' crowd.



Oh but the story gets better. Those lucky few who were cool enough to get inside found out the best tricks society has to offer. Most of the time, there were more people outside then inside. The real party was outside the door. Oh don't get me wrong there are legends still out there about what really was going on behind those closed doors. But the truth is that, by their own standards, no one was worthy enough to be inside.



Another thing to think of is the little wanna-be punk. He wants to rebel against society. He goes out of his way to make an outcast of himself. He spikes his hair and wears the ripped jeans and a leather jacket. He is making a stand of individualism, just like all his friends. He isn't rebelling against society, but rather changing one type of cage for another. Not to mention getting his parents pissed off. Just because you change who you are because it is the ‘cool' thing to do is pointless. All you are doing is bowing down even further to your master, as well as giving your hard earned money away for the pleasure to live by more rules set by the new prison you have put yourself in. And add onto that the label of outcast.



You may think "Well those are teenagers; I would never act like that". But you do. Everyday you are bombarded with orders from your master on what to do, what to see, what to read, where to eat. Every time you watch TV or listen to the radio, you are given orders on what you should do. Why do you follow these orders? Because it is what society expects you to do. You are given orders and are expected to follow them without question.



If it is not advertised, saying that it is good, you won't go near it. If your friends don't accept it, you won't either. Most people confuse this as trust. And it is somewhat true. You are trusting others to make your choices for you. And within that inaction you are giving away your last bits of freedom as well become even more a slave to society and it's demands. Every time you do this, you lose more and more of your freedom and rights. Maybe even your own soul.



Somehow through the ages we as a people have made up an imaginary set of rules that we feel the need to follow. They have been around for years and we follow them without thinking or even of why we do follow them. We have learned to assume if these rules are not followed to the letter there is going to be a punishment.



The sad thing is that this is ingrained into our minds at such an early age; we believe that we have no other choice, but to blindly follow them. The reason why is fairly simple. In kindergarten we are told to color within the lines. If we go outside those lines we are doing something wrong, and are shunned for it. Also at this age we are taught our ABCs as well as that society does not like those who question the world around us. We learn that there are acceptable questions, and then those that we should not ask. If we do ask those questions that we are not to, we are taught that we are going to be in trouble. Society, as a whole, is afraid to ask questions. Why? The answer is because most people are afraid that they might find a problem. And if a problem is found then they are going to need to be the ones to fix it, as well as the fact that they did something, they assumed, they were not suppose to do.



We were told to stand in line, follow the rules, don't do this, but do that. We are programmed to follow the rules that society has laid down in front of us. We need to ask ourselves, is there a reason for the rule? This question is the beginning of free thought.



A free thinker stops to ask why and how.

Book Introduction

Times Read: 571


I'll try to be as honest as I can, you are a slave to a harsh master. One who has spies watching over you all the time. Every time you go out to eat, hang out with your friends, anytime you are around other people, your master knows everything you do. It has watched you from the day you are born and, most likely, well for the rest of your life.



Should you even begin to think of disobeying its will, you are punished. This punishment comes in many forms. Sometimes it is ridicule from your friends and families, other times you are locked up until you get those ‘evil thoughts' out of your head. No matter what the punishment, it will haunt you for the rest of your life.



Who is this master you may ask. How come I have never seen him or her? The answer is simple. Your master is the master that does it's best to rule everyone. That master is society. Everyday we, as part of human society, blindly follow this non-existence master and do its bidding. Most of us never ask why or how, instead we just blindly do what is expected of us. We believe that if we do not do exactly what is expected of us, we will lose everything we have to the evil master, as well as be shunned by those who we love.



Some of us are so deep in denial, we choose not to accept that we are slaves to its whims. We believe that if we have money or the right friends, we are no longer a slave. This is WRONG! If you believe that, you even more of a slave then the person next to you. Its goal is to have you believe that it doesn't exist. That you are you own master.



Stop living your life as a blind man, open you eyes and look around you. Look at the world you live in. Look what the master called society has done to you. You, like most people start off the day with some electronic device making noises to wake you up. You run out the door to the local coffee shop and get your triple espresso lotee with non-dairy creamer. You rush to work where you sell your soul for so many hours a day to get money to give to your master. After a long days work, and paycheck in hand, you leave.



But the fun doesn't end there. When you get off of work, you want to have fun, but only if the fun is acceptable to your master. You feel the urge to go to the most popular nightclubs, but only wearing the latest trends in fashion.



You are a slave to society, a make believe master who is only as powerful and harsh as you let it be. It is time to wake up, and learn that you have been fed shit for most of your life. Break free the chains you have bound yourself in and live your life with a free mind and soul.



All I ask of you, as a reader, is to be honest with yourself as you read this rant. If nothing else it is my goal to have you come to terms with who and what you are. If we are lucky, this rant well help you open your eyes and mind to the lies that you have been told, as well as the rules that we all ASSUME are there.
