The World is a Crazy Place!

I haven't written a journey/blog entry in a long time now... I think it is necessary to say I have been doing a ton of soul searching, dreaming, and working.  I have graduated, I have a full-time job, and I have a loving caring girlfriend who is teaching me ways to live a full and sustaining grown lifestyle.  I am enjoying and struggling with emotions, family, and everyday antics and life events.  I have been eating better, sleeping better, and enjoying the simply aspects of our human existence.  The world as we know it is ever changing, growing in population, and moving at alarmingly fast rates... I have said this before but I will say it again, it is crazy!  I cannot help to struggle to follow the media, press, and news.  We now can receive Twitter updates, Facebook updates, and news articles within seconds as people put them out to the public... Amazing, yes, overwhelming most certainly.  We have the potential as humans to be extremely intelligent with all this technology and knowledge at our finger tips but instead the majority of us just stay narcissistic and self centered.  We tend to live in a bubble here in the U.S. but others do not.  Other countries and cultures are using what they have for technology in different ways and using it to become more intelligent and  progress... The funny thing is (and its not that funny) that we as "Americans" have more than everyone else does but we use less of it (except the few).  There are of course the underground moles, the ivy leaguers, the earth people, selected politicians and business leaders, creative artistic folks, and the IT gurus... The chosen few are grinding and grinding hard, so hard that we are becoming separated... This is not just a class issue or a monetary issue... This is based on education, existence into what will be the future.  The operation of technology, the functionality of survival tactics, the essence of sharing, morals, values, and societal issues.  We will change and we have, there is evolution going on right as you read this and it will continue forever.  I am ashamed at myself for living under the pharmaceutical illusion of safety that I lived under for years.  I was polluted and I was a type of robot because I was hazed over, selected to be a drone to what was going on inside of me and in the world... Even China didn't fully wake me up.  I am still a child in many ways but now I am free, free to be me, and free to live in society the way I choose to.  I am fine working for the corporate world, I am fine helping and supporting the local communities around me, I am fine living in my own skin, and I am alright knowing that things are messed up in the world and with our culture in the U.S. because we have freedom to express ourselves to the world and it is not a crime.  We are not free from everything here in the U.S. We have political crisis, police everywhere (doing some good and some bad), and our prison system is a mess, but we do have more than many other places in the world do and for that I am thankful for.  I am thankful for the birds and the bees, the simple sound of 1, 2, 3.  I am not proud to be an American not for what it stood for in the past, but I am proud to be living in America because of what we can do and what we can change for the future.  I am not proud to say I did not vote for Obama and I am utterly embarrassed to say it was because of pressure from my ex-girlfriend.  I think we have the potential to do some really profound things and we already have... Change is upon us and we have the power... So as I write this I hope you are taking action, physically mentally, and spiritually.  We have the power to uncover the truth and make this country the powerhouse of freedom and demonstrate to others that we are good, not bad or corrupt.  It is up to you children of the future, babies of tomorrow, and up to the people that are my age as well to overthrow the trash and move forward to see the light.  I may be a little on the too much talk side of things but we all are and that needs to change.  I am also like you, somewhat narcissistic and sick with the disease of the 21st century bug.  We will prevail if we choose to, if not we will fail and be taken over.  Thank you and until next time, stay up, stay happy, and be well.  (This entry has not been edited yet so if there are parts that don't read properly they will be changed next time I am on).  Please feel free to check out this video from Zhuhai China (PR for InternChina- A wonderful company to use if you want to travel, learn Chinese, and stay in a beautiful city and learn the Chinese Culture)-  InternChina on television!
