Internet Neutrality (What Are We Going To Do?) 2008-03-05 16:25:56 Wow! I just viewed a clip about the Internet
on Youtube. The video clip made me aggravated. I am not sure what I can do about this particular situation. However, I will be doing whatever I can, in order to help keep the internet from reaching neutrality from wicked, hungry fools who’s only goal is to take our freedom... The clip covers the net neutrality and what it will mean years from now. Big companies like: AT&T, Comcast and other big players in the media market today. Would be able to control what we view on the Internet. This cannot continue. Internet is the only last surviving tool we have in order to communicate with one another and the only tool we have for truth and knowledge. If this is taken away, we lose our freedom. Let us do something about this. I suggest a f Read more:Going

My Second Book:Digesting Current Events Through: Similes, Metaphors and the Abstract 2008-03-05 16:23:12 Here Are A Few Samples: Opening Act Stroke the keys to give up the enchanted lights of darkness History evolved into something like of a disaster Broken hearts are broken silently, without a key of smiles unknown To the devil born the new people Without a trace my life belongs to you Don’t you want to stare into your rear view window? Creeping giants will swallow you wholeIt is like an enormous battle underneath the moonlit night Without you knowing the truest answer to the puzzle You shiver with a silent breath Upon your shoulders Death creeps upon you What do you do? Look away and pray to the Lord Is he listening? On the other hand, I think I am dreamingThis change on earth Needs to start this moment Eleventh Act Pop culture is a game of playing mind games It i Read more:Abstract

Two poems for the price of two proses 2008-03-05 15:55:58 Here are two Proses/Poems from my first book: "A Closed Window Of Truth"Suicide Sunday It is a sensation; I am not talking about putting a gun to me my brain// Incinerates and my focus is miles away//It’s no longer a choice now, but it once felt good to elevate// I’d feel free as a good dance// And alive myself of bad memories entering a state of a trance//But I’m stuck now// The word lays in my heart and saturates//My souls like a slut how it dabs in two worlds managing to slip away//I know I did this to myself when I got up that day// But it never helps seeing these skies of gray//Undeveloped rhymes of unknown times//Heat of power is the universe of gravity//Lyrically undeveloped spits hitting you harder then fists I clinch//Powerful fire I burst from my mind// Read more:price
Unblocking the Writers Block 2008-03-03 19:52:32 Writer's Block. This is the monster capping the fount whence exist the worlds that we materialize unto paper, and I have had my share of wrestling with this monster. Fortunately, for me, though I have countless times been to hell and back with depression due to frustration with the monster, I never fixated upon the idea that writing was not for me. On the contrary, the personal battles I fought all the more convinced me that writing self-professed "genius" work during the witching hours is absolutely worth it after all the arm-twisting, eye-poking hardships courtesy of this monster we call the Writer's Block. Moreover, to aid fellow comrades-in-ink, I have listed below techniques that I have used so far and have personally proven effective in getting the fount flowing again. 1. Talk ab Read more:Writers

Our Society Is On A Decline 2008-02-29 18:34:47 Our society is on a decline. I know that this is a bold statement to make. However, I know, it is the right statement. After consistent encounters with teenagers and young kids, I came to this conclusion solidly based on their actions, views and the way they were able to communicate with me. I have not always felt this way. However, looking at our society today, and taking even a further look into the future, I can without much thought, conclude our society is on a decline. Parents have not taken control of their young children. It has been proven repeatedly, parents are not as disciplinary as they were two decades ago. If there is no role model, what other person in the child’s life, who will be left to mold the child’s mind? The proof is everywhere. Most television shows yo Read more:Decline

Is Radio an Exotic Tool for the People by the People? 2008-02-29 18:33:25 What kind of question is that, someone might say to a person who believes profoundly about this particular communicating tool. I for one believe strongly, that for a fact radio is an exotic tool. How could that be? Well, look at it this way, radio was used in the early 1950’s to bring news, express opinions, advertise products and capture people’s imaginations. Not everyone had a luxury, to sit by the fire with family, wrapped in blankets while looking at the radio, as if it was something God has sent. It was an exotic tool, because only a handful of people could afford the radio. It was something many people desired, but fell short from purchasing. It was an exotic tool, because that is when the economy took a big slide forward. Marketing geniuses and advertisers used this particular Read more:Radio
Is College A Necessity? 2008-02-29 18:32:52 I continuously ask myself this question and I have not come to conclusion as of yet. I feel that it is not… but, at the same time, my subconscious mind takes a deep breath and speaks for me.College
is very important it speaks. I get tired of people telling me in order to achieve success; you need to go to College. I mean my goals are not the same as other peoples. It is so difficult to confront these people and let them know head on… I am not interested in what you have to say about College and you cannot make me do what you want me to do. Do not get me wrong, I love learning and growing. However, I feel that in order to learn and grow, you need “real life’s lessons.” People tell me… Oh, you can network, develop friendships and learn very important new skills in College. Well, Read more:Necessity
5 Different Ways To Find Ideas For Your Writing 2008-02-29 18:32:04 You awoke at 10’oclock figuring out where the next idea might strike its cord. You do not pay attention to the dead bolts of blocks in your head. You try to ignore the pain, and head out to your kitchen where you find a coffee mug with your name on it. Your wife has prepared it for you, because she knew you were going to have a hard day “working”. You smile, and head back to your chair. Don’t you feel cozy with that bathrobe on? Well, now that you got that smile out for “everyone to see” you can head back to work. The only question that arises now is what do I write about. Where do I find ideas? Your dog-named Skippy is not going to bark out the ideas for you. Your wife is at work and your kids are at school. You need to get to work, because eventually, you will be crying up a

Drugs Found in Our Drinking Water 2008-03-09 13:18:12 Here is an interesting article. Drugs
found in our drinking water:Here is the linkMy Thoughts...This is an attack on the American people. We are slowly being pushed into four corners. Threatened in ways, we have never thought were possible. From mad cow diseases, beef recalls, anthrax and other threats, which seem to put "fear" into our brains. What was a free country has become a prison of expression. Seems like things are getting worse and not many are seeing the darkness at the end of the tunnel. What event needs to take place, in order for "us" the people, to take control of our selves and our country? Read more:Drinking

Reptilian Hybrid Baby(You Be The Judge) 2008-03-15 14:47:14 I found the most amazing video I have ever seen. I do not know if it's fake, but to me, this looks real. You be the judge.This is the description of the video:Video of a reptilian hybrid baby born at a hospital in Asia. Greenish scaly skin, red eyes, and its left foot has 2 black claws instead of 5 toes. The number of these infants being born across the world is rising and the evidence is becoming undeniable as people like David Icke are being proven more and more right everyday. As part of a disinformation coverup, the medical community has tried to label this a “disease” and a mere “birth defect” which they have named Harlequin Ichthyosis. Beware the half truths and lies. The Chitauri – Annunaki are here among us. Reptilian Hybrid

Stimulus Plan (Checks Will Be In The Mail Starting In May) 2008-03-18 02:27:19 Finally!!!I must admit I am waiting for this stimulus plan, as if I was waiting to get me loft of bread in a 3rd world country. No, seriously, this has to be one of the most ridicules or interesting things, Bush administration has ever done. Personally, I think it is smart and at the same time dumb. Why smart? Well, by giving us free checks in the mail, we will start believing that he is actually a good president. However, we know exactly what kind of president he is, do we not? Why is it a dumb idea? Goodness, I can probably name a few reasons, but I wont. One reason that this is a dumb idea is because personally, I am not going to mall hopping. I am going to save it and let the interests grow. Moreover, looking at our economy now, I can truly say we are not doing to well. My stim
