There is NO reason to discriminate

There's no reason to discriminate "race" or religion): 

There's no black race, white race or any other ethnically oriented type.. Just a "Human race".. People who know the Truth (capitalized on purpose) are aware that the contrast in darkness of skin and/or hair, curliness/straightness or hair and wideness/narrowness of the nose are directly related to the environment the generations before them lived in.. We are products of our environment.

There is also no need to condemn religions that aren't your own/force religions on people (especially not with violence). When you do this, you dig the grave of your own religion. <<Paraphrasing the Buddha's words. He goes on to say "Truth needs no label. It is neither Buddhist, Christian, Hindu nor Moslem. It is not the monopoly of anybody. Labels like that produce and project harmful prejudices in men's minds."

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
-Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)

Martha Shaw

“and in the evening, to temper the sting of loneliness; there was martha shaw.”

This blog is deticated to the Martha Shaw's of every love story. You see, such a character is in every realistic and fictional love story, and (I'm resisting the urge to be objective when I say) just about every real-life one. You might be wondering who Martha Shaw is.. 




Now I'm sure you recognize the man on the left (Noah played by Ryan Gosling) and hence the movie (The Notebook) but what about the girl on the right? To all those who say they know the movie, and to all those who regard Allie and Noah's story as a sad one: what then do you say about Martha Shaw's? The war-window who lost her true love in violent albeit patriotic fashion is left with nothing; caught in the middle of a love story that is not her own. In the movie Martha serves a pivotal role in the movie, without which the movie may have ended very differently. I refer to the quote for the explanation of her role

“and in the evening, to temper the sting of loneliness; there was martha shaw.”

A prime example of the quote "Love hurts." being all too true, Martha's damaged heart clings to the damaged heart of a man who can never love her. Not a "bad guy" but a damaged guy who's heart belongs elsewhere. I decided to make known the fact that such characters exist just as commonly, actually more commonly than the Noah's and Allie's of the world. I have learned the hard way that trying to make a "Martha" an "Allie" can be worse for her than simply using her; so note that lesson most importantly. That being said, it seems all we can really do to help them is assure them that there is true happiness out there, and that they shouldn't settle for less. My heart goes out to all the Martha's out there.. Whether they be male or female, it hurts to be in such a position, powerless, and vulnerable, clinging to comforts of fleeting happiness. Do you know any people who have adapted this role for a time in their lives? Have you ever adopted the role of Martha? I know I have.. Luckily, my story didn't end there. I truly hope your's doesn't either.

"Most things in life are about timing, whether you get the job you want (when you want it), whether you get the house you want (when you want it), whether you meet one person rather than another, how you view someone and (my personal favourite) how they view you are completely dependent on when those things happened.. Such a notion is exemplified best with Eros (romantic-type) love, I believe it ignorant to accept that there is only one person in the world you can be happy with; Accept rather that of all the people you meet, one of them, will come at the right time."

Pilot Poem: My mind drifts


Like a Castaway my mind drifts,
Carried by philosophical waves in the ocean of my mind I try to distinguish my curses from my gifts.

I sometimes look down and see my moral compass broken.
Worried because day by day I'm a hopeless romantic living a dream, unable to be woken,
Holding tight to what seems right, I try to survive youth's storm,
Unaware of exactly which beliefs I should conform (to).

The one thing that remains constant is my attempt to comprehend life's meaning,
Often this tiresome quest brings me to the brink of screaming!
Wondering if there will be reality for what I'm dreaming..

Tirelessly my mind is hit by waves of money and perspective of truth,
Have I been composing justifications, or does everything happen for a reason?? I NEED PROOF!
Already it's all too clear why adults spend time, missing their youth..

Different philosophical waves concerning the my future, my past, what if, love lost and love found,
Have me just as much curious as confused, optimistically praying I'll find solid ground.

Despite the weight of my thoughts it's okay, I've been made aware of "the secret"!
And thankfully for you who have chosen to read, I have no obligation to keep it:
It's all about the law of attraction: think positive things, and you'll reap it.

I live a positive life, And that keeps most days sunny,
I truly believe you'll catch all the right bees with that particular brand of honey,
(Case and point, I now have a budding business and some money!)

My last bit of advice is to keep your chin up and show no weakness to your foes.
Oh.. And remember that only a Golden Rose could utter such sweet prose.

Pilot Blog: St. Cathafornication

Not to be confused with Californication, which as it turns out has little to do with the state that the city of angels resides in and everything to do with Western pop-culture's ongoing fornication with every culture and family unit it can get it's promiscuous hands on.. No, St. Cathafornication comes after the realization that there is "bad" in the world, possibly in all of us and most definitely in ourselves. St. Cathafornication is the attempt to cope with such a realization.

Growing up, most of us only saw good. Even though none of our homes were as picture perfect as what we saw on The Cosby Show, Leave it to Beaver or my personal favourite, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Even though outsiders looking through the windowpane at our childhoods would have described what they saw ass something much less; Our then childish ignorance of the evils in the world managed to cloud our judgement and make things seem, okay.

The transition from dependent child to independent young-adult will begat the scary realization that life isn't a Disney movie. Unfortunately not all people are genuinely nice, some people will in-fact hate and despise you either for no reason, for a simple reason, for a complex reason, for one reason or for several. Worst yet, You can and will be judged based on your actions at face value. The most plausible option for handling such an environment is to just live life as the good boy or girl you just as you were raised to be BUT, is life worth living if you're always passing up on curiosity and the worldly pleasures of the flesh? Today's generation, and the generation of yesterday will most definitely say no. Yes that's right, I know you have those urges.. You didn't think I knew but I do, but not because I know you personally.. But because I, with two years of university under my belt have encountered them myself. It is these encounters that has led me to being as knowledgeable as I am on the subject.

This self actualization consists of some key features an old friend of mine named Maslow threw together in a hierarchy of needs. This isn't a lecture but I will throw a few out for you... First is autonomy: applying your newly mature logic to a well maintained and tightly-grasped morality you developed in your dependent years and living life according to those rules; not giving a f***about the judgments passed on you by people looking in from the outside will prove all too vital in the real world. Second up to bat is Comfortable acceptance of self, others & nature: Nature in a "nature of man" kind of way not a tree hugging/planting kind of  way (as therapeutic as that is said to be). I actually looked this one up again to sound informed and Wikipedia says that Self-actualizers accept their own nature with ALL its flaws. The shortcomings of other and the contradictions of the human condition are accepted with humor and tolerance" (1). What does this mean?? Haven't you been eye-listening?? (Reading??) Simply, St. Cathifornication.

Remember that no person other than yourself has enough background information on any decision you make to objectively judge you as a person or your character  Such judgement are commonly left for all-knowing beings.. Yes, God. And God alone. So don't you go judging others either.

**Honourable mentions: Comfort with solitude, Profound interpersonal relationships and Continued Freshness of Appreciation (1).** Read your textbooks!

All this talk of psychology has me feeling nostalgic. Remembering the psychology courses I took when I thought that was the path I wanted to take.. Why'd I get over that? because the textbooks are filled with pseudo-facts.. Test results, averages and educated guesses but not nothing that I am willing ti shape my beliefs around. What was my step up? Philosophy! Which is regarded as the study that yeilds no answerws by commin folk. And its true, all facts are ultimately subjective but, the big words and plausability of arguements provide a warm duvet-of-comfort for my always developing beliefs.

St. Cathifornication, has now been defined as best as my mental dictionary and thesaurus allow. Be advised, there is more than good and bad/evil, more than black and white.. There might in-fact be more than 50-shades of grey..

I'm terrible with the fine art of Bibliographies and Works Cited due to lack of effort so enjoy the weak attempt:

P.S.I hope the first blog left you curious as to what else I might have to say, I'll be covering quite a few bases..
