I've been dreaming instead of sleeping these days, It can't be good.

dem old disney movies are hecka goodz

I dunno about you, but when I was a kid, I thought the "D" in the Disney logo was some sort of convoluted G.

I think I already mentioned that.

Yeah, back in those days... kids had imaginations, crayons, and Dr. Suess

Now, these kids have iPhones, facebook, and no dreams.

Did I mention that I find it tragic?

The best advice for studying: 
1) Get off the interwebs (the social networks, youtube, blogging--but not just yet!!!, itunes, twitter, etc)
2) Take breaks (real breaks, like to eat food, exercise, meditate, basically just clear your mind, cause hey, studying is tough)

Anyhow...

This video makes me look at my life differently:

(oh, and as a side note... did I mention that that last video I posted about "Questions no one knows the answers to."... that vid was made by the guy who invented TED :)

Now that you've watched that, you should go apply it to your life. I guarantee it will make it more awesome.

Stephen Hawking is a boss. 

Ever wondered if we could synthesize a dream on a piece of old fashioned printer paper? 

And here's one more video, this one just flippin inspiring: 

Anything is possible. Go live your Dream. 

I think maybe I'll buy a skateboard and draw the galaxies in crayon on the bottom of the deck.

I know so little... it's incredible. That I could have overlooked so much and never even thought it was overlooked is preposterous at best, and yet, tis how it went.

I seriously like know nothing. Nothing of science, nothing of religion, nothing of government, nothing of languages, nothing of people, nothing of ideas, nothing of adventure, nothings of even the geography of the planet on which I live. 

It's amazing really to think of the infinite consciousness contained in a single person. 

I'm tired of school, but there's no point to a rant about it. Alls for the best, I guess. 

I've had a lot of random thoughts recently: 

Now, go hug a red panda & catch a flying fish w/ the Northern Lights. Please? What if all of Taylor Swift's music videos were of an obese mexican making tacos on the back of a taco truck? [I swear that honestly seemed profound at 2:34 AM when I thought of it. *headdesk*] Flying fish fly across the oceans, what's to say there isn't flying fish that flit across the galaxies in a reality we cannot even comprehend of? There's a jungle underground. Picture this: a Labrador puppy is in the gym, on the bench press, benching an elephant and a pinata. 

"I, today, dare you to become aware of your ignorance."

I saw this today: 

Humor and irony are deeply profound. 

I've found that often those old people, or those quiet introverts- those quiet "awkward" people- aren't feeling awkward, they're appreciating the silence and finding truth. Give it a shot sometime. 

I'm getting a new piano tommorow, it's gonna be legit. 

I'll become part of the sky one day, and then, that afternoon, I'll become the Ocean. 

"Do more than exist."

Fakity is bad. Get real. 

Crayons are flippin awesome. 

So, I wrote a research paper on the Rubik's Cube today. Did you know that that little cube, despite it's complexity, can be solved, from any possible configuration, in 20 or less moves? Speaking of it's complexity, did you know that there are over 43 Quintillion configurations for that cube? 

and uh, yeah sorry... you weren't wondering.

^that song's from this one crazy dubstepper... but, it's extremely positive, no joke. The vocals are from one of my favorite youtube videos: this one

And, for some curiousity sparking ideas:


Peace out!

Go do something flippin awesome!

Pale Blue Dot [This Rocked My World]

"Seen from about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles),Earth appears as a tiny dot (the blueish-white speck approximately halfway down the brown band to the right) within the darkness of deep space.^[1]"

[Photo Credit: Voyager I]

From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity – in all this vastness – there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known, so far, to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment, the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

—Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space, 1997 reprint, pp. xv–xvi

So uh, that quote right there blew my mind... I'd always gotten that feeling from looking at the stars, but to encapsulate in into a tiny photograph... woah.

and, 

But yeah, some people call things in life "trials." 

I thing I better term, at least for me, is "A first world problem."

Go do something great.


Sky Above Me, Earth Below Me, Fire Within Me. The Clock is ticking, kick it into gear. 

Why live a life filled with regret?

I swear I don't wanna write about the election.

So uh... The election is tomorrow. I urge you to vote. I implore you. Vote.

What I say about it will change nothing. So, I'll say nothing.

Think deeply about it before you make any choice though.

Alright, now to something a bit more crazily awesome:

Some dude, by the name of Matt Maddaloni invented something for climbing that I think is awesome: (link)

And uh,

I think it's important to ask a crapoly load of questions, rather than being all stubborn about your pre-conceived notions.

And uh...

I wanna do this one day:

Here's a link for some info on it:

And here's a song I think is awesome:

 And, I dunno why I'm still writing...

but while I am...

Life is the ultimate pinacle of epicality.

if you wanna do something, do it. Follow your intuition.

If you wanna be great. Just do it.

"My heart and my mind will carry my body when my limbs are too weak."

If you choose, you will be great.

Life is to be lived.

I don't mean to be rude, but if you're not scared or annoyed or just plain hate something that you have to do, you're not living.

If you're scared of something you do by choice, you are making a choice to be great.

That moment when you decide to make the jump, the moment where your brain sends a message to your body to jump, and you are just leaving the safety of the ledge. That moment. That moment is great. GREAT. not like good, but awe-inspiring, thought provoking and GREAT.

This song is really good.

If you're annoyed at it, but make the choice to deal with the annoyance, or the pain of something, and yet you still do it. Like working out. That's good, you should keep doing it.

Focus on what matters most. What matters most is the outcome of now. What you should focus on is living now, with preparation for tomorrow.

I'm bored writing this. Seriously.

And if I'm bored writing this, I can't even imagine what it's like to be you reading it.

When I walked into the dance after doing parkour, what'd I feel? Completely unalive. We can't live to party, it's so much less of life than anything else, despite that it might seem otherwise.

When my phone is sitting flat on a table, it spins in circles when it vibrates when I get a text.

it's pretty trippy, I've changed. Pain, work, practice... I don't feel it anymore... all I feel is life, coursing life. Life channeling through it all. I change my mindset and live entirely in the moment, with goalless epicality. It's the strangest thing. I honestly focus entirely on the moment and not at all on my goal. It's bizarre.

Anyhow.

Live.

I am the 2.5% of insane people.

I think the key to it all is getting off that little computer you're glued to all day. Here's the thing:

Dude, the world is huge
it's enormous
You have the opportunity to consume more information everyday than people used to consume in entire lifetimes
The surface area of the earth is 510 million square kilometers
You were made to explore
Look, you've got 100 years. In 100 years... all this will be gone. You'll be dead. The guy who you hate will be dead. That girl you love, dead. That guy who rang up your groceries in the grocery store. Those kids at the local school. Everything. Appreciate the beauty of it.
Follow your dreams.
Go and Do.
Live.
Sometimes there's moments of epicality, other times there's moments when it sucks,
but, let me tell you, it's worth it to try.
Live. Find your greatness.
Don't Give up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give up. Don't Give up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give up. Don't Give up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give up. Don't Give up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give up. Don't Give up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give up. Don't Give up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give up. Don't Give up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give Up. Don't Give up.


And this is me, signing off.

Yolo (but note the consequences). Live.
