Soldier's Poem by Muse
"Throw it all away
Let's lose ourselves
'Cause there's no one left for us to blame
It's a shame we're all dying
And do you think you deserve your freedom
How could you send us so far away from home
When you know damn well that this is wrong
I would still lay down my life for you
And do you think you deserve your freedom
No I don't think you do
There's no justice in the world
There's no justice in the world
And there never was"

It got me thinking, like, why does man still fight with one another? Why is there still conflict in the world? Sometime I feel, like the burden of saving the world from darkness and chaos, is solely on my shoulders. Luckily, or maybe even fatefully, this burden is shared with the rest of the world. Its going to take a lot of effort from each individual to love (the earth) again.
I've never been passionate about, the theory that is Global Warming, because the facts presented are out of context, most of the time, and there are serious scientist who say that we don't have enough information to tell that man is the sole reason for the rise in global temperatures. I like to buy into the story that the Earth has natural warming and cooling cycles, and that we could very well be approaching one again.
But I'm no scientist (yet). So my opinion is null. What REALLY angers me, is the solution being provided (by the International community of course). An international Carbon Tax, a fucking CARBON TAX! How self righteous must you be, to think that you deserve to make a profit off of the destruction of Mother Earth? That is just wrong. So, some money passes hands, HOW IS THAT HELPING MOTHER EARTH?
If you really want to solve this problem, how about planting a seed? Lets come up with an international law saying, that every time man makes this amount of pollution, these many seeds have to be planted, cared and nurtured for, and never be allowed to be cut down. We are killing our own planet, and no one seems to give a shit.
If you've seen the movie AVATAR, then you'll see the love that the fictional Na'vi people have for their moon/planet/mother. Watching that movie made me realize that we've disconnected. Big time. No one seems to respect nature. I have no one, or nothing to blame, as I believe in my heart that one day man will mature, and see that we are not in harmony with the ebb and flow of life. That the highest paying jobs, Accounting, and other jobs in the financial district, are no longer necessary in a world where all needs are met, with little to no waste. Where people are in tune with nature, and can care and love for one another. Where technology is used to benefit both man and nature.
A film that makes this point very clear is one that Sajan Melcher introduced to me a long while back. Zeitgeist: Addendum. I would skip to the 79:30 mark to see the point that I'm trying to make, but otherwise it is a very informational/inspirational film, and points to a future for mankind that is beautiful, and uplifting. Also I recommend it's prequel Zeitgeist, watch that if you are unfamiliar with topics such as, how corporations are often times more powerful than nations (including America) and how they are manipulating you to act and feel like zombies.
I honestly didn't think I was going to rant, because I honestly don't feel like ranting, but that was just what felt right at the moment. Full Sail never called today, so I guess, I am going to have to make the effort to call them. Other than that today was fairly pleasant. Michael Lamb took me to the Beach House, so I can get a job as a busser there. And I spoke with my mom, and I can buy her car off of my dad. So I'll have some wheels pretty soon. Things are looking good these days.
Whip it, and dip it.

Much Love, Luis.
