Transitioning
Here’s a piece I just turned in for a class at school. I don’t know that I expect a fantastic grade or great feedback on this. It’s a little surreal and experimental and… well… weird.

Everyone’s life is falling apart, I guess. On my part, it may be mere vanity to suppose that my falling apart, here and now in the quiet...

quackbagans asked: Dude, your blog is so legit!
in-retrograde asked: I feel extremely honoured and at the same time, humbled that someone as amazing and eloquent as you is actually following my blog. Everything that you write about just somehow resonates with thoughts that I can't articulate well. Thank you for actually being in tumblr and creating such a wonderful blog! (Sorry for sounding a tad creepy, but I immediately followed back after reading your first...

Status Check: I'm Going Crazy
I don’t know what else to do but to keep writing and keep smokin’ these cigarettes and keep eatin’ these caffeine pills.
Greater awareness of my basic nature is what I crave. I’ve taken various steps toward this end. The general theme of my thoughts is that there is something growing inside of me that needs to be released. Something inside that is screaming to be heard....

Wonderful Walk
I just had a tremendous walk.
It’s in the walking where my best thinking occurs. Although I’m inclined to point out that I don’t trust that any of my thinking is particularly superb. Better yet, I would point out again that terms like “best,” “better,” or “superb” are merely gradations of a subjective and undefinable indicator of a...

How Did I Get Here?
Someone asked me what philosophical books I think that they should read. I listed some things. Emerson. Tolstoy. Dawkins. Zhuangzi. Hesse. The Gospels of Matt, Mark and Luke. The Gita. Ginsberg. Twelve-Step literature. But not a lot of stuff that could be considered literal, academic philosophy.
The more I listed, though, the more I realized that the things I have come to know, or...

Free Write #6
In my Creative Writing class, we’ve been instructed to do some free-writing each day as an exercise to calm the inner censor and to become more familiar with the simple act of writing. I write a lot anyway, but I have been enjoying the “free-writing” quite a bit. Free-writing is to write without any particular attachment to purpose and without any particular need to complete...

One O'Clock
I can’t sleep regularly these days. My eyes become like little deserts, dried and pained from the day and my body aches for sleep and yet my mind will not quiet itself. I read and I think about writing and I read and I wait for something to write and I read. During the day I prefer to walk around my side of town. This town that I cannot call my own, this town that embodies for me only...

New Year...
I have a feeling that things will be very different in the world very soon.
It fascinates me that the United States can continue to participate in the violent, masturbatory act of NFL football, or in the advertising indoctrination of television and popular Hollywood film, when the world sits on the brink of what will probably be a moment of total definition, or perhaps of total destruction, for...

Evil, Evil, Everywhere! But Where’s the Problem?
This is an essay I wrote for another student. The student in question didn’t particularly have the time to do this homework, and I wasn’t doing ANY of my homework, so I took the time to do my friend’s instead.
I posted this same essay, with some Christmas critique at my other blog, which can be found here.

This CAN Happen
We can learn to love one another and to dance along to the ancient rhythms that creep up and down our DNA, pounding our hearts and driving all of us wild with anticipation for the next mutation. We can learn to live without all of the frivolity and the inanity of the modern capitalist ideal, choosing instead to live in a physically minimal and spiritually maximal state. We can stop doing what we...

Revolution
First, I am seeking a revolution on a personal scale. A retooling of my own consciousness. I long for a deeper knowledge of myself than I had ever presumed could exist. I seek to identify the forces of the inner-self, the ego, the mind and the spirit, with exacting clarity. This would mean a transcendence from the physical. A transcendence from the chains of morality and society and...
You Feel Alone, Right?
I do.

Sometimes
Sometimes all there is is to stay up too late, jacked up on caffeine, trying to wait for transcendence in its natural form.
Sometimes all there is is to wait for that mutation in your genes to show itself. To wait for your flesh and blood and your brain to prove that you are truly and deeply a child of Indigo. Sometimes you just have to wait for the next iteration of life to be you, because the...
