I've been saying this for years about cell phones.

Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, the director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, notes that while the evidence about a cellphone-cancer link remains unclear, people should take precautions, particularly for children.

“Really at the heart of my concern is that we shouldn’t wait for a definitive study to come out, but err on the side of being safe rather than sorry later,” Dr. Herberman told The Associated Press.

Earlier this year, three prominent brain surgeons raised similar concerns while speaking on “The Larry King Show.” Their concerns were largely based on observational studies that showed only an association between cellphone use and cancer, not a causal relationship. The most important of these studies is called Interphone, a vast research effort in 13 countries, including Canada, Israel and several in Europe.

Some of the research suggests a link between cellphone use and three types of tumors: glioma; cancer of the parotid, a salivary gland near the ear; and acoustic neuroma, a tumor that essentially occurs where the ear meets the brain. All these tumors are rare, so even if cellphone use does increase risk, the risk is still very low.

On Wednesday, Dr. Herberman sent a memo to about 3,000 faculty and staff saying that children should use cellphones only for emergencies because their brains are still developing. He advised adults to keep cellphones away from the head and use the speakerphone or a wireless headset, he said.

“Although the evidence is still controversial, I am convinced that there are sufficient data to warrant issuing an advisory to share some precautionary advice on cellphone use,” he wrote in his memo.

financial advice

There are only two Chinese companies I would invest in right now on a speculative basis: Baidu, the big Internet company, and Focus Media, the advertising company. PetroChina intrigues me as well, as does China Mobile. I just wish they would come down in price a bit. In general, I would advise being very cautious when investing in the Chinese market. I fear one day the Chinese government might say, "Look, we want stocks lower. We’re not going to allow people to borrow money to buy stocks." And that can really hurt the market, so I don’t want to be overinvolved in China.

Spaceship Martini is a great band.

I saw them last night at Molly Malone's. There was like 20 people there, including Terence Leclere's mother, who I talked to. Terence is in the band and also has his own band, Ric Veda. These are the kinds of bands I've been wanting to see. Both of them have sort of a post punk, semi hippy in the city type of sound that I relate to and that tugs at my heartstrings. I want to do an interview with both bands and post it on my blog.

I believe that stupid neocon pundits know that what they're saying is wrong.

But they're all bought off. Michael Savage, Hannity, O'Reilly, they're all crooks. Not only do I not believe a word they say, I don't believe that THEY believe a word they say. You got your Handel on the law moron who tends to think the louder he raises his voice, the more a point is proven. I respect porn stars more, at least they're honest about what they're shilling.

Neo cons, you know you're wrong

http://noworldsystem.com/category/bill-handel/

when are these stupid pundits gonna come forward and admit what they've been denying? They can't be THAT stupid.

name for a song: hold on hematite

you grew up on a farm
never did noone any harm
and you moved into the city
trying to stretch the time out thick
there is a frequency to this moment
there is a vibe that holds you tight
and you heal me with your attitude
but you've got to learn to hold on
after trying so hard to let go of your sight
but you've got to hold on hematite.

The global economy and the homeless

I sometimes think about people who have been broke and hungry for a long time. In their mind, when the stock market crashes,

and everyone freaks out, I wonder if that has a calming effect on them- kind of like the playing field has been leveled.

Henry Rollins wrote me back. What a Mensch!

this is what he said:

Jeremy, thanks for the kind letter. That's really cool of you. I am glad you get something out of what I do, I'm doing the best I can. Henry.

Frickin' love that guy.

David Wolfe at Erewhon, 9/21/08

I learned some health food secrets from David Wolfe when he spoke at Erewhon, and I feel like I just can't keep it to myself. For those of you who don't know about David, he is one of the most charismatic catalysts in the raw foods movement. He talked about the Erewhon store on Beverly Blvd. withextreme reverence, categorizing it as the store that other health food establishments spy on to learn their secrets.
He took a crowd of a few dozen or us or so to the produce section and picked up an apple. At one point he held it up to his heart and told us the merits of this particular fruit, which possesses leitril, a cancer fighting agent, and declared that you should eat the whole apple, even the seeds, which also help to fight cancer.
He dove into various subjects, anything from feeding brocolli to your dog, using beet to cleanse your liver, and the woes of iodized salt, describing with horror about passing the salt factories in Chicago where the buildings were these dirty warehouses filled with the stuff, and how toxic it is.
And did you know that Black radishes are liver cleansing, and if you're getting your greens that's all the calcium you need?
And that spinach is great for your lungs and you shouldn't worry about overdosing on oxalic acid?
He regaled us with stories about old medicine shaman types in the amazon who told him that cacao bark soaked in water for
24 hours could produce a solution that could cure male pattern baldness! And about the time when he was starting out as
a raw foodist and his group of friends would snag lettuce that wasn't wanted from a health food store and make lettuce juice.
Lettuce actually is an opiate, by the way, so apparently lettuce juice has a calming quality. He compared it to drinking brews
in a pub. So sometime we'll have to have to watch the game and drink some lettuce brew.

Letter to Henry Rollins

Dear Henry.

I don't usually write fanmail, I usually figure people I write won't read

it or whatever. I figure you read some of yours, so maybe you'll get to

mine. I guess what I want to say is, I really appreciate your work. You

make me laugh sometimes, mad sometimes, and mainly what you make me do is

nod my head in agreement. I think about your airport schpiel when I'm

trying to make my way the escalator and people are just standing there.

I watched a bunch of your stuff today, and your Israel concert was

insane! I love that place too, my grandma lived there for a while after

surviving Auschwitz. Funny thing is, she's this 87 year old woman, and

somehow I feel like you two would get along! Anyways man, simply put, I

just wanted to say that you help me get through the day sometimes.

Because you realize the crap of the universe, but you don't let it stop

you from experiencing life the way you want to. I remember I used to jog

on the beach, and I had a vision of you telling me to run faster, work

harder. A Friend of mine recently sent me something you wrote about

working out, how that teacher encouraged you to become stronger.

I feel like you do the same thing for me. And I just wanted so say

Thank You for making my life better.

Jeremy Ferrick.

Nick Cave:

LETTER TO MTV
TO ALL THOSE AT MTV,

I WOULD LIKE TO START BY THANKING YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME OVER RECENT YEARS AND I AM BOTH GRATEFUL AND FLATTERED BY THE NOMINATIONS THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FOR BEST MALE ARTIST. THE AIR PLAY GIVEN TO BOTH THE KYLIE MINOGUE AND P. J. HARVEY DUETS FROM MY LATEST ALBUM MURDER BALLADS HAS NOT GONE UNNOTICED AND HAS BEEN GREATLY APPRECIATED. SO AGAIN MY SINCERE THANKS.

HAVING SAID THAT, I FEEL THAT IT'S NECESSARY FOR ME TO REQUEST THAT MY NOMINATION FOR BEST MALE ARTIST BE WITHDRAWN AND FURTHERMORE ANY AWARDS OR NOMINATIONS FOR SUCH AWARDS THAT MAY ARISE IN LATER YEARS BE PRESENTED TO THOSE WHO FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE COMPETITIVE NATURE OF THESE AWARD CEREMONIES. I MYSELF, DO NOT. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OF THE OPINION THAT MY MUSIC IS UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL AND EXISTS BEYOND THE REALMS INHABITED BY THOSE WHO WOULD REDUCE THINGS TO MERE MEASURING. I AM IN COMPETITION WITH NO-ONE.
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY MUSE IS A DELICATE ONE AT THE BEST OF TIMES AND I FEEL THAT IT IS MY DUTY TO PROTECT HER FROM INFLUENCES THAT MAY OFFEND HER FRAGILE NATURE.

SHE COMES TO ME WITH THE GIFT OF SONG AND IN RETURN I TREAT HER WITH THE RESPECT I FEEL SHE DESERVES - IN THIS CASE THIS MEANS NOT SUBJECTING HER TO THE INDIGNITIES OF JUDGEMENT AND COMPETITION. MY MUSE IS NOT A HORSE AND I AM IN NO HORSE RACE AND IF INDEED SHE WAS, STILL I WOULD NOT HARNESS HER TO THIS TUMBREL - THIS BLOODY CART OF SEVERED HEADS AND GLITTERING PRIZES. MY MUSE MAY SPOOK! MAY BOLT! MAY ABANDON ME COMPLETELY!

SO ONCE AGAIN, TO THE PEOPLE AT MTV, I APPRECIATE THE ZEAL AND ENERGY THAT WAS PUT BEHIND MY LAST RECORD, I TRULY DO AND SAY THANK YOU AND AGAIN I SAY THANK YOU BUT NO...NO THANK YOU.

be proud of what you've done

but don't look back.

lyrics

Don't watch television if you really want the truth. Listen to the world within and that'll be the proof.

we are brothers pitted against each other
not rivals in a game of survival
i said baby don't say what I should do
If you're not here to help us
find our way we don't need you.

Financial crisis.

It was an OK year in terms of money until now. I'm completely bled dry to the point where I have no money for food or gas, and I owe people. I need to bite the bullet and really start working.

Rod Rotundi spoke at The SanFair whole foods 9/11/08

A small group gathered outside of the whole foods on santa monica and fairfax to listen to Rod Rotundi speak about Raw Foods. He also prepared a salad with Dandelion Greens and Pomegranite seeds, whipped up some raw mushroom soup, and passed out some of his rolls that are wrapped in collared greens. A particularly intelligent whole foods employee came up at the end and put what others weren't going to eat in a small box to take home with him. I jealously looked on and silently pondered, 'why didn't I think of that?'
I also shook Rod's hand and told him I loved his food. In fact, there's no other meal I'd rather have than a raw meal. And I met the lovely Janine Laura Bronson, who is going to let me play some of my songs on her radio show today.

Notes from Kabbalah presentation at the Kabbalah centre.

1st desire when you wake up in the morning: Shower
What is something that you want to know? Am I going to make it in music?
Lifelong goal: Success in music, find my love.
vini vidi vici- name of band
10000 years=1 second
10,000,000 = 1 cent

Earn your soul mate.
Ask for confusion, world of darkness to create light- it can't be revealed at the very beginning.
Don't reveal yourself too soon.
Be concealed so you can earn it.
To divine-
"Listen. I'm gonna have all the lack. Until I earn you do NOT remove the curtain"
You cannot give to God- has no lack
3rd arena- utilize god gene
receive everything, 100 percent fulfillment.
Don't waste your words.
Speak less, it'll make you less tired.
If you want something, the fulfillment exists
Allow your soulmate to find you.
The light causes pressure.
no temporary solutions
your soul before it comes looks at everything the soul wants, picks certain issues, treasure to transform
You must have an issue that you choose to fix
ego- wanting to be number one
complaining is missing the whole point
fear of never being enough
fear is what the kabbalah helps you to overcome
fear of confrontation
the more hopeless, the more treasure we have
insecurity is blocking the light
selfish receivers can't connect with the light
guilt= taking
blaming others
did you transform your need for approval?
There is no darkness when you're connected with the light.
Physical Earning
Be in the world with the mud, with what annoys you
Everything is meant to be transformed
Spiritual earning. Curtain will be removed.
We wil be reconnected with the light
we came to a difficult world
I want to EARN my fulfillment
Put me in the mailroom!
God, DON'T remove the curtain.
Difference from me and the creator- we receive that disconnects us from the light.
Connect with the light.

Listen to Lionel Fanthorpe

Tuesday night, 640 am.

dialogue

"You keep on lettin' them treat you like less than a man, pretty soon you ARE less than a man. Pretty soon you're just a piece of meat. Objectified, victimized. And what do you think a man does who's treated like that long enough? After he get's tired of turning the other cheek, soon he becomes the victimizer. It's only a matter of time. It may take two months, it may take 20 years, but sooner or later, weakness becomes brutality."

Movie Ideas.

I got a new idea about a guy who goes into a temp agency, he's a young guy looking for a job, kind of off the streets. The agency is a real catty place, a bunch of ladies sitting around gossiping, and it's run by the conservative michelle zyman.
She tells him 'never come into a job interview without a resume,' etc. All the ladies take him for a loser but she see's something in him and looks him up online and finds out he's a musician, a writer, kind of becomes interested in his character. I started thinking about how with the internet people snoop around about people more and you never hear about that in the movies.
She sees a lot of holes in his applications, and helps him around it, helps him get a job, etc.
We soon find out Michelle is a single Mother and doesn't have it as easy as some would think. We also find out that she gave up a child for adoption and begins to suspect that our main character is her son. It'll be called temps on time.

Those who follow that part of themselves that is great

Those who follow that part of themselves that is small

Whatever you can do Or dream you can - Begin it. [W. Goethe]

But what if I have so many dreams? Which one to follow?

Every man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. He is like a ship in a river; he runs against obstructions on every side but one; on that side all obstruction is taken away, and he sweeps serenely over God's depths into an infinite sea.

This talent and this call depend on his organisation, or the mode in which a general soul incarnates in him. He inclines to do something which is easy to him, and good when it is done, but which no other man can do. He has no rival. For the more truly he consults his own powers, the more difference will his work exhibit from the work of any other. When he is true and faithful, his ambition is exactly proportional to his powers.

By doing his work he makes the need felt which only he can supply. [Emerson]


The Scroll Marked III
I will persist until I succeed.

In the Orient young bulls are tested for the fight arena in a certain manner. Each is brought to the ring and allowed to attack a picador who pricks them with a lance. The bravery of each bull is then rated with care according to the number of times he demonstrates his willingness to charge in spite of the sting of the blade. Henceforth will I recognize that each day I am tested by life in like manner. If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward, I will succeed.

I will persist until I succeed.

I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.

I will persist until I succeed.

The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.

Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.

I will persist until I succeed.

Henceforth, I will consider each day's effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today.

I will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.

I will persist until I succeed.

I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.

I will persist until I succeed.

I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each failure to sell will increase my chance for success at the next attempt. Each nay I hear will bring me closer to the sound of yea. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow's good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once.

I will persist until I succeed.

I will try, and try, and try again. Each obstacle I will consider as a mere detour to my goal and a challenge to my profession. I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops his, by learning to ride out the wrath of each storm.

I will persist until I succeed.

Henceforth, I will learn and apply another secret of those who excel in my work. When each day is ended, not regarding whether it has been a success or a failure, I will attempt to achieve one more sale. When my thoughts beckon my tired body homeward I will resist the temptation to depart. I will try again. I will make one more attempt to close with victory, and if that fails I will make another. Never will I allow any day to end with a failure. Thus will I plant the seed of tomorrow's success and gain an insurmountable advantage over those who cease their labor at a prescribed time. When others cease their struggle, then mine will begin, and my harvest will be full.

I will persist until I succeed.

Nor will I allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life.

So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success; if I persist long enough I will win.

I will persist.

I will win.

Wonderful, enchanting, magnificent read.

Taking back what's ours: How I found freedom in Carlos Castaneda's writing.

This is my abridged version of some Carlos Castaneda writings- I've put some of my own input in ().

"They took over because we are food for them, and they squeeze us mercilessly because we are their sustenance.

"Just as we rear chickens in chicken coops, gallineros, the predators rear us in human coops, humaneros. Therefore, their food is always available to them."

"I'm going to subject you to a blitz. That is, I'm going to subject your mind to tremendous onslaughts; and you cannot get up and leave because you're caught. Not because I'm holding you prisoner, but because something in you will prevent you from leaving while another part of you is going to go truthfully berserk. So brace yourself!"

Sorcerers believe that the predators have given us our systems of beliefs; our ideas of good and evil; our social mores. The predators are the ones who set up our hopes and expectations, and dreams of success or failure. They have given us covetousness, [* covetousness- an envious eagerness to possess something] greed, and cowardice. It is the predators who make us complacent, routinary, and egomaniacal."

He explained that sorcerers see infant human beings as strange, luminous balls of energy covered from the top to the bottom with a glowing coat something like a plastic cover that is adjusted tightly over their cocoon of energy.

He said that that glowing coat of awareness was what the predators consumed, and that when a human being reached adulthood, all that was left of that glowing coat of awareness was a narrow fringe that went from the ground to the top of the toes. That fringe permitted mankind to continue living, but only barely.

He explained that sorcerers see infant human beings as strange, luminous balls of energy covered from the top to the bottom with a glowing coat something like a plastic cover that is adjusted tightly over their cocoon of energy.

He said that that glowing coat of awareness was what the predators consumed, and that when a human being reached adulthood, all that was left of that glowing coat of awareness was a narrow fringe that went from the ground to the top of the toes. That fringe permitted mankind to continue living, but only barely.

They give us INANE problems that force those flares of awareness to rise, and in this manner they keep us alive in order for them to be fed with the energetic flare of our pseudo-concerns.

INANE:
–adjective
1. lacking sense, significance, or ideas; silly: inane questions.
2. empty; void.
–noun
3. something that is empty or void, esp. the void of infinite space

"All we can do is discipline ourselves to the point where they will not touch us."

"Whenever doubts plague you to a dangerous point," he said, "do something pragmatic about it. Turn off the light. Pierce the darkness; find out what you can see."

Man, the magical being that he is destined to be, is no longer magical. He's an average piece of meat. There are no more dreams for man but the dreams of an animal who is being raised to become a piece of meat: trite, conventional, imbecilic."

(How can we change this?)

For sorcerers, discipline is an art; the art of facing infinity without flinching; not because they are strong and tough, but because they are filled with awe."

"Sorcerers say that discipline makes the glowing coat of awareness unpalatable to the flyer.

"The result is that the predators become bewildered. An inedible glowing coat of awareness is not part of their cognition, I suppose. After being bewildered, they don't have any recourse other than refraining from continuing their nefarious [* nefarious- extremely wicked] task.

"If the predators don't eat our glowing coat of awareness for a while, it will keep on growing. Simplifying this matter to the extreme, I can say that sorcerers, by means of their discipline, push the predators away long enough to allow their glowing coat of awareness to grow beyond the level of the toes. Once it goes beyond the level of the toes, it grows back to its natural size.

"The sorcerers of ancient Mexico used to say that the glowing coat of awareness is like a tree. If it is not pruned, it grows to its natural size and volume. As awareness reaches levels higher than the toes, tremendous maneuvers of perception become a matter of course.

"The grand trick of those sorcerers of ancient times," don Juan continued, "was to burden the flyers' mind with discipline.

"Sorcerers found out that if they taxed the flyers' mind with inner silence, the foreign installation would flee, and give any one of the practitioners involved in this maneuver the total certainty of the mind's foreign origin.


"The foreign installation comes back, I assure you, but not as strong; and a process begins in which the fleeing of the flyers' mind becomes routine until one day it flees permanently.

"That's the day when you have to rely on your own devices which are nearly zero. A sad day indeed! There's no one to tell you what to do. There's no mind of foreign origin to dictate the imbecilities you're accustomed to.

"My teacher, the nagual Julian, used to warn all his disciples," don Juan continued,"that this was the toughest day in a sorcerer's life for the real mind that belongs to us.

"The sum total of our experience after a lifetime of domination has been rendered shy, insecure, and shifty.

"Personally, I would say that the real battle of sorcerers begins at that moment. The rest is merely preparation."

I am going to describe to you a finding that took sorcerers thousands of years to verify and consolidate."

"The flyers' mind flees forever when a sorcerer succeeds in grabbing on to the vibrating force that holds us together as a conglomerate of energy fields. If a sorcerer maintains that pressure long enough, the flyers' mind flees in defeat. And that's exactly what you are going to do; hold on to the energy that binds you together."

"You are fearing the wrath of God, aren't you?" he said. "Rest assured, that's not your fear. It's the flyers' fear, because it knows that you will do exactly as I'm telling you."

"Don't worry," don Juan said calmly. "I know for a fact that those attacks wear off very quickly. The flyer's mind has no concentration whatsoever."

(From Michael Beckwith- Positive is more powerful than Negative.)

You're being torn by an internal struggle.

"Down in the depths of you, you know that you are incapable of refusing the agreement that an indispensable part of you, your glowing coat of awareness, is going to serve as an incomprehensible source of nourishment to, naturally, incomprehensible entities.

"And another part of you will stand against this situation with all its might.

"The sorcerers' revolution," he continued, "is that they refuse to honor agreements in which they did not participate.

THE SORCERER'S REVOLUTION IS THAT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR AGREEMENTS IN WHICH THEY DID NOT PARTICIPATE.

I lapsed, perforce, into denial again, and I went insanely from denial to acceptance to denial. Something in me knew that whatever don Juan was driving at was an energetic fact; but something equally important in me knew that all of that was guff.

(Is a bit of doubt needed to balance out complete confidence? YINYANG?)

(EMBRACING THE ENEMY:)

"The flyers are an essential part of the universe," he went on, "and they must be taken as what they really are- awesome, monstrous. They are the means by which the universe tests us.

"We are energetic probes created by the universe," he continued as if he were oblivious to my presence, "and it's because we are possessors of energy that has awareness that we are the means by which the universe becomes aware of itself.

"The flyers are the implacable [* implacable- incapable of being more favourably inclined, or gaining the good will of] challengers. They cannot be taken as anything else. If we succeed in doing that, the universe allows us to continue."

that which is opposed to good has no future.

If I just align myself to what is right, what is good and true to my heart, I will not have to worry.

Ok, call me a copycat. I'm starting to post my songs on youtube. Check it out:

On Speed.

Joe Vitale, one of my heroes in terms of positive thinking and internet marketing, believes that once you get an idea, you should act with immediacy. I can't agree more. Sometimes I can't help but think it's shortage of money that stops me more. though. That's probably just in my own head.........

Dear Illuminati:

If you're reading this, I just want to make music, eat healthy food, travel, and love.

I'm amazed by Dondria's story.

She's a hip hop artist out of Sachse Texas who after 2 years on Youtube has over a million hits to her space. She signed a record deal and her album is coming out, produced by none other than Jermain Dupri. Isn't it amazing, thousands of people flock to L.A. and NYC every year to try and strike it big and she got discovered from doing videos of herself in her bedroom, mind you, with a webcam that she bought in Walmart! Congratulations is all I can say, Dondria.

kabbalistic wisdom

Monday, September 1

What we're talking about in these dailies is whenever we see an opportunity to do the right thing, the right restriction, the right giving, the right sharing, the right treatment for our bodies, the right discipline, we don't want to let any thought and space come between the opportunity and the action. Just jump and do it. Grab the opportunity.

The spiritual law is that as you train yourself to jump right away into action, without giving any space for doubts or procrastination, gradually it becomes second nature and we love to do it. We look forward to emotional risks the way we look forward to going to a movie. If we're late for a movie, we hurry into the theater, running toward the movie, right?

Keep running towards the biggest confrontations and fears and challenges in your life. Do it over and over and over and over until it becomes part of you. Rush into action!

What's your risk today?

song for her (israel)

Do you really think that if she ceased to exist
The violence would drop?
I really don’t think so
But your theories would stop
She isn’t the reason why the Sudanese Christians
Were so brutalized
There was no connection between the slaughter of thousands, it was pure genocide-
Who vocalized difference in the city of Hama thinking ‘gods on our side’
While Assad waved his hand at the Syrian sun
and let the bodies float on
And Nasser’s invasion and the gassing of Yemenites had nothing to do
With a people living peacefully in a land filled with Moslems, Christians and Jews.
And please with your scape-goating, irrational theories How can you explain
The bombings in tel aviv,
The bombings in West Africa, London and Spain
Hussein didn’t torture his very own people
Because of her
Or invade Kuwait or spill oil on the birds
Because of her
So quit blaming her. Quit blaming her
For all of the world’s problems.
Stop shaming her, stop shaming
Her
If you don’t know what you’re talking about.
They can live in her and they do
But she can’t live in you
You know what would happen to her if she even tried to!

ernest holmes quote

"That which is opposed to good has no future."

visualization technique

Who is your number one hero who is living today? It could be a singer, sports star, film maker, tv personality, policitician, philosopher, etc. The person who you would most want to meet. What if they called you and wanted to come over and meet you tonight at your place? What would you do differently? Would you scrub the mirrors in your bathroom that haven’t been scrubbed in months? Would you buy some new decorations? If you had a week advanced notice how would you change your surroundings? A new paint job perhaps? Start living as if your heroes were joining you for dinner.

new mission statement

1) Your momentum cannot depend on anyone else. It must be intrinsically structured so that it is created within you and cannot destroyed by the whims of others.
2) Create power after power. When you have established yourself as the best you can be at something, take yourself as your strongest and start from there as if your strongest is your weakest. Never rest on your laurels.
3) Don’t lean on others. Make yourself a strong tower for others to lean on.
4) Become a giver not a taker. Practice giving something of yourself at least once a day whether it’s helping somebody with their groceries or buying a coffee for somebody. Seek out opportunities where you can be of assistance.

christian rock is bullshit.

Go ahead and be christian if you want, and go ahead and rock out. But never shall they meet. I think it's great to have spiritual views on life, but don't go around acting like you don't want to get laid and being a hypocrite. I've heard that some of the biggest partiers and pagans are christian rockers. After all, Christianity COMES from paganism. Thank god I'm not a christian, that's all I can say. I'm not an athiest though. I'm a big time believer in some kind of greater being, it just happens to not be a guy who was hung on some wood.
