there is a taboo about feminism that make people cringe at the thought of dikey women getting together to castrate men and provide solely for themselves... well, i mean, if you think of feminism in that way
some words just get bad reps and can never be taken seriously again... ((communism, balls, etc))... and i think feminism has gotten a bad rep.. i really think women need to stick together as much as they can.. they're so vindictive and evil, but i think it's only because they're so afraid of everyone else, so afraid of their ego falling...
i work with the best group of girls... my manager only picks girls to work with us who she knows will get along with everyone.. and, surprisingly, there is absolutely NO drama at my work!! and this is usually not the case when there is a 10:1 ratio of girls to guys.. but there isnt any fighting.. all of the girls i work with are absolutely amazing, strong, kind people who look out for each other and truly care for everyone else... this is the kind of feminism i'm talking about.. just being able to truly love each other and not fight or bicker or take revenge on anything.. these are women, not girls.. i'm one of the youngest ones there and i am learning so much from all of them.. my god, i do work with the best girls around ((i work at open sesame.. and if you dont know what that is, you need to find out!!))
i bring this up because i have been kind of having a bad couple of days for reasons i will not disclose as i have made this a blog of bigger perspective, not tedious bullshit
anyway, the girls in my life have given me so much strength and motivation to move forward with my life and i pity anyone who does not have a strong friend-base.. it really does make or break a person.. especially because the people who you surround yourself with usually tend to define you.. which is true for the most part.. and i'm so thankful for all of the girls in my life
so women, please keep your friends closer than your boyfriends/husbands/FWB (friend-with-benefit).. because they ((the boy... or girl!!) will always ALWAYS come and go but your friends will be standing next to you each time that happens
don't say you weren't warned

lately
been thinking about you bbbaabbbyyy.. and everything you dooo... haha does anyone know what song this is??
well anyway, lately ((really, i'm starting with that)) i've been so involved in things i know i SHOULD be doing and forgetting about the things i like to do... it's been making me really depressed: loss of appetite leading to loss of weight ((which i cant afford since my peak is 110)), change in attitue and outlook towards life, change in personality, etc. i would cry everyday for a short amount of time ((don't pity me.. it's just a factor to the point i'm going to make)).... i would get mad at everyone, very irritable.. ok you get the point
so i was thinking, "what can get me out of this rut??"... it had to be something somewhat symbolic for me seeing as how i live my entire life looking for symbols and signs to lead me in the right direction ((literally... i flip a coin for decisions.. and not just any coin.. a Franc that i've had for awhile and have put all my energy into it so it'll always give me a right decision.. dont judge me))... so my friend gina tells me it's a neq zodiac year: year of the aries (yours truly) and then a couple of my guy friends told me about a book called "Power of Now"... and then that book came up in conversation with a customer at work... then, i bought a rubiks cube, learned how to solve it in under 5 minutes...
so how do these all tie into each other?? they're signs of change... the book: it's a new enlightenment i can tack onto the long list of influences i already have but might have forgotten
the new zodiac year: it represents change, which i feel like i need
the rubiks cube: it's a small detail that brings me joy, relieves stress and helps me remember that i can do something fun and for myself and still be productive throughout the day
so, in the end, i have transitioned from a rut to back-to-normal all because i waited a while and let it come to me
what's the point?? i have friends who resort to drinking, smoking, pills, etc. when they're not at the top potential... but these, along with any other antibiotic (medication) are just short-term fixes.. i chose a more difficult path to find my happiness but i didnt have to toxify my body, buy any drugs, make a fool of myself ((not saying everyone does, but DAMN!)...
the point is.. if you're unhappy with your life, reflect on why... it all usually stems down to one simple question: "what am i afraid of?" you can be afraid of rejection, afraid of your ego being hurt ((usually the case)), scared of what others might think if you dont succeed, etc. there's plenty of answers to this question, but it is up to the individual to find that answer and then work through it
you can do it.. everyone.. i have faith.. please dont become a waste of human capital and drown your sorrows because it's too hard to face them
((this is to nobody in particular, but just a word to the wise))
if anything, this post is for me.. so i can look back and remember what made me happy and how i did it.. not that it's always going to be the same, but i can get an idea
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, and also with you ((that's a tie between jedi-ism and catholicism))

the power of the mind is a funny thing. you either realize the potential of the mind and utilize it full-force, or you let that power go to waste and thus become a waste of human capital (solely a consumer)
in the past couple of weeks, i've been realizing that i have a choice in my thoughts. i can think about whatever i want, along with think HOWEVER i want about anything. my perspective is my choice, along with my actions and reactions. what i choose to think about during the day is completely based on me. it's a complex concept, thinking about the fact that you have the power to think about whatever you please. this action about thinking about thinking is what seperates us from the rest of the animals. we are homo sapiens "wise thinkers".. we are conscious of ourselves.
i was looking at the street this morning while i was driving to work and i was straining to see as far ahead of me as i could possibly see. then i started to imagine the street at a 2-dimensional picture that my eyes are painting for my thoughts. because really, that's all it really is. we only know that the tiny trees in the distance are not really tiny because eventually we have tha ability to move closer to them and see perspective and depth within our 2-dimensional thought transfer from eyes to mind. if it were not for the experience-based perspective of the image, we would not realize that the trees far off in the distance were not really tiny, but just far away. trying to imagine the image from eyes to be just a 2-dimensional painting is a really hard thing to do, but it's weird that if i so pleased to think that way, i would be pleased in seeing the world in that fashion
i have to get back to reading accounts of galileo's inquisition, which just so happens to land on my bday (april 12).. so this will make April 12, 2009 the 376th anniversary of galileo's inquisition
all he wanted was to show the world that there's more to thinking than the divine thought. that we have potential to exceed the limits of what "god has logically allowed."
now you know.
