Dreaming Of Change...Or Consistency.

Waking up everyday... still living in our dreams.
Have you ever noticed in dreams...whether you are falling and right before you hit you wake up... or you get shot and are dying... murdered... anything...y ou never actually die? Whether it be because we have never expierenced death and therefore can't subconciously expierence it, or it due to the lack of something to base it on, we never fully reach the dream's destination. Or for example... when you are miserably sick. You lay there wanting to die and you think if i can just get well and back to normal I will appreciate it everyday... and then a few days later you are back on your feet, complaining about how you have a headache or sore muscles.

The point is that we never really reach our goal do we? As humans, we have the tendency to underappreciate most of what we have, and then when its gone, we "learn our lesson" and appreciate what we no longer have so much more. But how many people actually change? How many return to everyday living and wake up and think today is wonderful because I am well? As in death dreams, we never fully get there. We can get pretty close, but we never fully die...or change our views. Whether it be in politics, or just as individuals...we need a new way to progress. The only thing that is consistent is that there is no consistency. Redundant but true. So I think its time for everyone to wake up and figure out a way to actually help America and ourselves progress and not go back to our old ways... and not go back to bed.

As humans, it's usually only natural to think of our current conditions. Now matters, not later. We can want to think differently, but we never will. It's true that we take too many things for granted in America, but that's not going to change anytime soon. There's been plenty of progress through the years, but for the average American who does not make a big impact on society, there's really no motivation to do more except for personal benefit. If I set goals for myself, I probably won't reach those goals 50% of the time, all because of other conflicts. So I don't set goals for myself anymore. I can understand how people want to change. The only thing restraining people is the will to put the effort in to make a change. Written on 4/10/07

If we (read: humans) did not continually strive for something more we would simply grow complacent and die; I guess that means Maozilla's obituary will be in the papers soon.

People the world over take things for granted, it is not an American thing. You want progress in America, something appreciated the world over, internalize your thoughts. Written on 26/10/07

i have had an out of body experience before, its almost imposable to explain something like that but think of your self(if you can,)(most humans don't have the mental ability to handle some of this kinda stuff.) being tossed into the blackest, darkest place ever, now when you lay down at night and you feel your head start spinning, add that to the blackness. thats what the physical feeling was like. now understand that im trying to put this into words. im trying to give you an image in words.

so what i saw was this...... pictures, of my life. like memories, spining in my head, it was really fucked up, REALLY fucked, my friends said that i started to cry for help and then a soon came out of "it", this happened to me because i took a pure extract of DXM,(that i made my self) and then with out think about drank 3 beers, and my heart stopped for not even a minute. in this "one min death" i had an "out of body experience".

whatever hapend to me, i DONT EVER want to happen again.

Having a small baby sleeping in my bedroom I have forgotten what dreaming is like. I go to bed (exhausted) and fall asleep like a light switch going off.

Cenas.

Then, at about 6.30am, the light is on again. The baby has woken, started singing with the dawn chorus, and pooped his nappy. What were dreams like? I don't quite remember. Nightmares - now they're a little more familiar. Written on 27/5/08
