About Me

All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself.

Lawful Rebellion

 Walking down the street with Moses, discussing the ways of the world and why things happen, an interesting thought came to mind: I don't believe in laws.  Prompted by someone asking me what I thought 'Lawful Rebellion' was I responded by saying that I couldn't explain that because I don't believe in the establishment of laws... Think about it, why should an organization be able to tell a person what they can and cannot do. Who gives them that right? They claim to be elected officials chosen by the public but they are restricting our rights and freedoms.  You are probably thinking that I have completely lost my mind but just wait...I am NOT saying that I do not follow laws I just think that they shouldn't HAVE to be in place.  I don't avoid hitting someone or stealing things from a store because it is illegal but I make a CHOICE to not do these things because that is what is right.  People shouldn't just follow laws because they are in place but rather because they believe in them. Unfortunately there are people in this world that need the laws to be in place and consequences to follow because they cannot control themselves but don't be that person, choose to do what is right.  Make decisions that you believe in and stand by your choices.  The only person that is able to tell you how to live your life is YOU. Choose to make decisions to better those around you, and share the idea with the world that people should make the choice to follow laws because they believe in them.  Inspire those around you to make better choices...don't ever do something because you are told to, be inquisitive and question what is going on in the world to really understand what is going on.  Making informed decisions will allow you to be confident in those decisions and know that you are actually being an independent individual in society.

Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome...

Hola mon amore... I have started and restarted this blog too many times to count but I have finally been inspired by a friend to just write what I want to write, so please excuse the randomness of posts but this is me, open for everyone to see, eventually my music, maybe some of my written pieces, who knows.

Peace, Love, & Happiness
