Hills Like White Elephants - Part 3/3 July 23rd

2010-07-23T05:47:00.000-04:00

Below is a screenplay that I adapted about three years ago from an Ernest Hemingway short story titled “Hills Like White Elephants”.

In the original short story, Jig compares hills to white elephants, animals which don’t exist in nature—and therefore only in dreams.

On the nature of the Truth Value.

2010-07-19T20:40:00.001-04:00

The truth value is a singularity.

This means that the truth to a question or problem can only have one true and correct answer or solution. Varying opinions matter not to the truth value for it is permanent and singular, waiting for someone to find it, rather than to be applied to random opinions.

On the Nature of Time Spent: Goals and Obsession.

2010-02-28T21:42:00.000-05:00

This post is a bit long, so if you aren't bored out of your mind, just skip to the bottom after reading the intro...

You will never become anything until you realize that the key to a better future is hard work; and not shit like studying for classes (although this is important), but in general working hard at everything you do, day to day, hour to hour. There will always be the long-ass work days and gay ass exams at 7 am, but the only way to progress is through hard work; every dollar and every good mark in every class counts; they count towards something bigger and better in the end. Everything leads to another, and the better and harder you work towards anything, the larger your returns in the end. You have to starve now if you ever want to eat well. (Metaphor)

It's time to take another look at your goals, set new ones, and revise your ways...

Let me tell show you how goal-setting, some to the level of obsession, works in the lives of three individuals.

If you're lazy, just skip to the bottom, it has the conclusion.

Three stories...

The one who chased after Law School (Western Synagogue).

The one who chased after The Girl (The Ecuadorean).

The one who chased after Photography (The Professional).

All three have fallen to a hopeless desire to achieve what they feel they need.

But why the fuck do they need those things; one of them works hard to get the best marks he can and never has fun, the second works hard to gain the acceptance of the girl, blinded by love, and the last works hard to achieve his best work at the cost of his own time and money.

Now ask yourself why you want the things you are obsessed with... do you need them? Does doing the things you do allow you to reap any benefits? Is there a logical probability that your goals can be successfully achieved? Do you have the capacities to be able to achieve your goals? Do your activities require too much investment and not enough return?

Well clearly you already think you need it if you obsessed, so now answer this... Do you get anything real out of the things you do?

The first guy gets good marks throughout school, which helps him do anything else he wants within the academic world if he changes his mind about his career path, but if he didn't have his goal he might not have worked as hard to get those marks... so he got a side bonus for being so obsessed. Sure he loses out on some things but you have to decide which things are more important... I'm not Dr.Phil, I'm just trying to clarify things for you: If you think you should study all the time and not have fun, that's your dilemma, not mine.

The second guy clearly doesn't get any side benefit for chasing after the girl, the only benefit would be to come only if he succeeds in getting the girl, and that would be the final benefit, only getting any benefit if he succeeds.

Same goes for the third guy, unless he actually starts working for a magazine and getting paid, he gets nothing more than the feeling of having worked as hard as he can.

Now think about how useful the things you are working towards are.

Now the first guy can be seen as having a pretty logical goal to work towards, it is a matter of getting one good mark after another in each of his classes, he can take his goal one step at a time, and study for his entrance exam when his time comes, and he will be able to study easily because of his experience doing shit loads of work for classes.

The second guy has no idea what he must do to achieve his goal, he has no single thing to work towards, he has general guidelines like being nice to the girl and such but the girl may think you are trying to get her too hard or some other stupid shit; you never know, his dilemma is fucked because it is based too much on chance; all this aside, he also has no idea of his chances with the girl. Even doing something like asking the girl directly is a chance to be taken in itself, nothing is certain.

The third guy has a mix of good things and bad things going for him; he has a clear idea of what is considered "professional" and what is not, and being able to find those situations where a good picture can be taken might be decently easy; but again, randomness comes into play because it takes just the right moment to take a good picture; also, photography is also something that needs natural talent, if you don't have those artistic abilities, then you aren't one who should try to be a professional at photography.

Is the end worth the means?

Let's literal it up a bit:

Let's say someone would give you 2000 dollars if you came and collected the money from them in person, they live in Estonia.

The plane trip + travel expenses, add up to 2500 dollars.

Is it worth accepting the person's deal? NO.

As for the first guy, is it worth getting all those best marks and having a higher chance to go to law school, and never having fun and going out and partying and drinking and just wasting time chilling and doing random other shit like fishing or something...? It depends on opinion, but his actions are likely worth it in the sum-all game called life.

For the second guy, is it worth working towards the girl of your dreams? Only if the chances are high. If you work towards nothing, or something with a low chance, then the chance of shutdown/loss is not worth the low chance of getting with her. If their is a high chance however, the risk of hurt is worth working towards her. But again, this is futile, because no one can know for sure. Nothing in this world is 100%.

As for third guy, either it gives you personal pleasure to take good pictures, or it gives you money for your shots, or both. If it doesn't give you at least one, then give the fuck up. Do something else.

Conclusion

None of what I said matters; Obsession overrides logic, unless your Obsession is weak, you cannot take these words into account. And if your conviction to your obsession is weak, then you will not be able to achieve it most efficiently. Obsession is a two-edged blade because it makes you work hard as a donkey for something, but if that thing fails you will feel useless for having worked so hard.

You can either work hard in life and feel the pains of failure, or never try at anything, and never gain anything either; depends on the kind of person you are. Either way it's balanced.

But if you look at it from a "Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all" perspective, then the guy who works hard wins, because he can either use his accomplishments to his advantage or choose not to; the guy who never tried hard at anything can never use anything to his advantage, because he has nothing to use, then again, he might not want to anyways.

Nothing is True, Everything is Meaningless.

On God.

2010-02-26T18:17:00.000-05:00

God is too advanced to write books for monkeys. Prophets are good people trying to stop the evil-doing of others. Do good and you will rewarded accordingly in the afterlife, do evil and you will be punished accordingly; simple shit, don't say I didn't warn you ;).

On the nature of things.

2009-09-16T23:07:00.000-04:00

There are two kinds of people:

Those who promote and do Negative things.

and those who promote and do Positive things.

The former group far outnumbers the latter group.

And more importantly, the reason for this, is because they've simply just set up the conditions (society), for the creatures (human beings), to partake in more negative than positive things. And so there will never be hope, lol.

I've known this for years, but recently I've been running into a lot more resistance and ignorance than usual. But I guess that's how it always goes.

And so it's not worth it for me to put myself out on a limb in order to promote what I believe is right or better; this is something I have known for a long time.

The counter I usually had prepared for thoughts like that was that if I(eye) do more positive things, then the world in general around me, will in turn have to become more positive; this is a valid statement, and it is because of this belief that some DO hold that the state of things are not much worse.

But, alas, for a person like me, that isn't worth it. Self-interest > Interests of others. I should have just been using my insight to win more, not like trying to spread my winnings; which I was, but it needs to be done to the largest possible extent. Intellectually and financially.

More posts to come; but the only real reason will be cause it will serve as a good place to practice writing and rant skills, not to spread knowledge. Peace out for now.

Stay positive, please. lol.

Edit: That was some emo shit. LOL. Anyways, life is back to great and boring as usual. Peace.

On the nature of University Education.

2009-08-15T05:05:00.000-04:00

Before reading this latest post, I would like to state that it is more of an educational rant, than a real discussion on or solution to any issues.

You see... people are quick to think that maybe life is some sort of progression, towards an ultimate end goal... thinking that yes, they went to elementary school, then to middle school, then to high school; the number on the grade kept going up so they thought maybe I'm moving forward, when in reality you were just aging and walking to school every morning.

However, I am in no way attacking a school system; because I can obviously agree with anyone that at least until some sort of mental and physical maturity, we should let children have a freer life, at least in theory aimed at education and furthering ones self.

And so my critique involves University Education. You see, to the government, at the age of 18, you become a worthless equal citizen like everyone else; luckily most of us have parents to hide behind until the age you actually are ready to be in reality.

Now, you see you are an adult, and once you get that Bachelor's Degree, you're going to be using that same piece of crap paper, to get every job you will ever try for in your life, for obvious reasons. Although you may have earned that paper when you were 22, at age 51 you will still be flaunting that same piece of paper.

For you see, the difference between making $14,000 a year on average and $45,000 on average, is a university degree. Now I will stop that point there, because this post is aimed at people already in or going into Post-Secondary education.

For you see, within your educational career, your marks are your past work experiences and determine the route of your progression. But more importantly, the thing to realize is that each specific mark you attain in your university career is one more token of plus or minus value.

Meaning, if you got a C, it's obviously less valuable than an A would have been in that class. Imagine your list of courses and grades, and instead of those C's, there were A's. It would be much better. But obviousness aside, my point aims to state that each good mark that YOU get, is a BETTER THING for YOU. Whereas each bad mark that YOU get is a BAD THING for YOU.

Because, most first jobs you get after graduation will hire you based on your university GPA. And basically, that job will entail where you will be headed in your career path. What is your career path? It's what you will be doing, forever. So what does that mean? I guess it means that the higher your GPA is, the better the job you will get is.

More importantly, for anyone pursuing any post Bachelor's education, your GPA is the most important thing, it will actually determine whether you will get in or not!... -_-

Now I would like to end this abruptly... and what I aim to state is that, your ENTIRE FUTURE (not that seriously) rests on your GPA... What does your GPA rest on?

Well obviously, it depends on your marks, and how do you get a good GPA that is based on marks?

It's too easy: Getting the actual highest mark you can, in one class... and then in another class. And then summer time comes and you're like drunk and high for a few months. September comes, and you just get a few more high marks. You go to Cuba for winter break. Get like 4 more A's.

and.... Voila: You're in Law School. Now just get like 12 more B's, and you'll be making like $110,000 a year. All this, in a span of 4 years of undergrad that will change you from making $15,000 a year to the aforementioned $110,000 a year. Why again? Cuz this motherfucker got some A's and you didn't you lazy motherfucker. Are you down?

Now, I will break you down the last 3 major periods of my life into simple phrases: High School: Skipped class, Chilled, Got A's... University: Skipped class, Chilled, Blazed, Got B's... Working Life: Worked 6 days a week 50 hours a week. $4000 In debt. $11.50/hour.

So, wait, you're telling me people's parents pay for their "kids" to go to a university campus, buy expensive food, chill all day and do no work and probably make them end up making $30,000 more a year for the rest of their life? And yet the only real reason half of these kids are even trying to stay in school is so their parents won't get mad?

I will now break down to you the next one major period in my life: Working as a Lawyer: Court 3 days a week, $158,000 a year, retiring at age 38, Chilling 4 days a week.

What is the key difference between me working as a Lawyer? Versus me working at Wal-mart? I think it was the Law Degree. I also think that Law Degree was simply me getting more A's than the other guys who applied. Yes I think so.

But fuck that... in conclusion... get the highest mark in each class you're in... or you can go fuck yourself and be unemployed. Cuz, one day you're gonna move out, you better hope your making more than $40, 000 when that happens. And the simple fact is, it's literally in your own hands, and it's as simple as getting the highest mark you can in each class. And you know who's gonna care if you don't get high marks? No one, but the point is you're the one that's fucked.

Cuz the actions you partake in now are your adult actions, and they will fucking change your entire adult life.

And I don't care if someone wants to say well we all already knew this obvious shit... Well... So either do it, or don't do it... I didn't care either way. Cuz I'm already doing it. HAHA. Peace.

And this rant is done... go on Facebook or something you time wasting bastards. :P

On the nature of Drugs and Substance Abuse - Cont'd.

2009-05-05T03:31:00.000-04:00

This post is basically a B-side, playing a secondary role to a bigger post on a brand new topic coming-soon. But I'm here to finish what I started.

The man up there taking a deep breathe is a practitioner of Sufi mysticism: The voodoo ladies, Buddhist monks, and Shaman equivalent for much of the Muslim world. But what these groups all have in common, are very esoteric (exclusive and exotic) practices in excess of their societies' general practices. Everything from snake venom to rat liver has been used by these groups to create magical concoctions. But another thing that has lasted throughout the ages is the continued usage of natural herbs: from khat to ganja to ginseng to tea.

But that's getting boring... what I'm here to say is that although many of these groups have practiced various herbal remedies, almost all religions have at first or at one point denounced the act of drinking. This comes again, not as an attack against alcohol, but I simply want you to know the reason behind many religions' and groups opposition to alcohol, even early Christians. (Which is why even to this day drinking is associated with falling victim to the Devil.)

Because you see, Alcohol, as a toxin, disengages normal processes within your system at almost every level; from your blood thinning to the way you see to simply the way you act and feel, it is all detrimentally effected by the presence of ethanol within your system.

This is why many groups are against such drugs, because they bring with them an enhanced risk of moral deviation; and by that I mean you will do stupid shit. Because when you are under the effects of a toxic agent, you have less control over yourself, and naturally being inclined towards misbehavior and being guided by the Devil, you are a danger to yourself and those around you. (original sin: lawl.)

But increasing your senses and thinking processes have always been a goal for those seeking enlightenment, and so khat, ganja, ginseng and tea will continue to do the trick for me: simply because I love to expand my mind...

As a side note... I didn't really want to say this one, but I may as well, seeing as you have probably partaken in this act several times since the start of this post. You're an addict, whose brain is addicted to a drug quite prevalent, yet you will never see or smell it. Something too in-bedded in life itself that you fail to realize that if you went cold turkey off of it, you would simply cease to exist fairly quickly: ... So I just want you to take a a second to take a deep breath for me ... ... ... ... ...

... and tell me how you like the taste of Oxygen, actually Sugar and Caffeine are Better Examples... Feels mind-opening, doesn't it? (lawl, gay ending.)

On the nature of Drugs and Substance Abuse.

2009-04-30T07:44:00.000-04:00

I'm here to speak a little truth for all those people out there with opinions.

First, let's define what a "drug" is: a substance that provides an altered state of mental and/or physical being.

Many people in history have said that attempts at altering the mind are a fourth drive, as basic as hunger, thirst, and shelter.

I'm here to tell you why, who, how, when and what this is all about.

But before I begin, let me tell you "people out there with opinions"; your personal opinions have no relevance in the greater scheme of the facts, also, they have no preeminence or significance over the opinions of others.

Now I'm not here to teach you about drugs or teach you the effects of each one in particular or whatnot, I'm simply here to clear up the blunt smoke fogging many of your perceptions.

Let me get the usual suspects out of the way; if you have ever taken a sip of that ever so poisonous ethanol (alcohol), or taken a toke of that nicotine (along with its 233 chemical partners prevalent in an average cigarette) or even more basic still, taken a sip of that ever so detrimental caffeine: you have no moral, social, intellectual, factual or health-based legitimate voice in opposition to the most basic of herbal remedies: the green.

Now let me go over that last paragraph, for I am definitely not one to oppose the use and abuse of that ever-so poisonous ether almost all of you enjoy (because sometimes it simply gets the job done), I've also been known to hit enough bogies in my time, and I've probably drank more energy drinks and cups of coffee than many of you; but if you saw my last paragraph as an attack against those substances, then you are already lost, because it was simply an expression of the natural beauty of the ever so mystical, herb.

But I digress... Let me continue...

As an interlude, I would like to ask you a question and tell you the main reasons why substance use/abuse exists. Do you agree that life sucks? (If you're some rainbow carebear, at least agree with me that at certain points, life sucks.) But hold that thought, there are 3 main causes for substance use:

1.) Escape from Reality - Pain (i.e. Hitting the herb to forget the trivial complications of day-to-day life.)

2.) Escape from Reality - Boredom (i.e. As simple as the fact that anything that will change the norm will provide you with a new and fulfilling experience.)

3.) Escape from Self (This one is too complex) - (i.e. Drinking to have the balls to chop the females.)

But let me continue...

For you see, there are two basic types of drugs... there are those that give your body an excess of a chemical it naturally produces and processes in order to heighten certain thoughts/feelings or physical sensations, and then there are those that introduce a toxic element to your system and it simply has no choice but to react in an unnatural way, and these in turn give you a feeling you have never felt, or more importantly, should never feel naturally.

A quick short-list of some main contenders in both categories:

Natural: Marijuana (THC), Cocaine (Dopamine), Mushrooms (Psilocybin-Psilocin)

Unnatural: Alcohol (Ethanol), Tobacco (Nicotine), Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid, lawl)

Once again, this is not either an advertisement or an attack against any of these drugs, because obviously, that cocaine powder, is 3rd on the list of most untouchable drugs in the known world, yet every motherfucker and his mom has sipped on the liquid poison (alcohol), and those motherfuckers' uncles have probably hit many-a-nicotine stick, and all of them for sure have popped many-a-pharmaceutical. I'm simply here to inform.

But this is where this post gets real, but before I burst a lot of your bubbles, I have to go through a simple run-through of the effects of Cocaine and it's dirty-dirty cousin, Crack: It is simply a major stimulant in the release of Dopamine, and Crack is simply a more potent (and cheaper) version of this stimulant, which is why it is #1 on the list of untouchable drugs, because once you've hit that Dopamine and enjoyed it to its full extent, nothing else matters.

Let me now go through a quick run through of Dopamine: it is a chemical that your brain creates, and is released through a reward-system of 5 receptor-processes, each doing a specific task... but to break it down for you, it is what creates the feelings of happiness that you so enjoy.

But this is where it gets sad, because sadly, every one of you (us) is a crack-head; for you see, all of your basic needs and wants such as food, water, and sex are simply a drug seeking (pleasure seeking) behaviour, part of a day to day routine that you indulge yourself in on a very regular basis. Every time you're hungrier than a motherfucker and you murder those 28 wings, you're simply a crack-head getting their fix, because if you were smart, you would eat a granola bar and move on with your day, not indulge yourself and introduce the new-spangled chemicals and ridiculous unhealthiness found in regular foods today. Anything from a pizza to a hot dog or fried chicken to diet-coke is chalk-full of unnatural substances from pharmaceuticals to simply unhealthy things such as oil and grease. All you're doing is looking for your Dopamine.

For all you that still think drugs are for the idiot youth, "bad people", or are still in the mind-state that its some next-level criminal activity; I'm trying to tell you that its just another element of life, and you have to know your limits, with anything from eating to drinking to smoking to smoking better stuff, you can be an abuser of anything in life, from watching T.V. to playing online-video-games. If you are someone who is prone to addictive behaviour, it is your problem, not the things around you; because all addictive behaviour is a result of chemical addiction. From Dopamine to Melatonin (a chemical released by your body during awake hours to make you feel drowsy... which is countered by many other chemicals released by your body when you are in a state of sleep, thus reducing your drowsiness.), you are all fiends.

If you're a fatass and like eating, do it up; you're a crackhead.
If you play WoW all day and are lovin' it, do it up; you're a crackhead.
If you like studying all day, and that leaves you feeling fulfilled, you should really do it up; but you're still simply looking for that fulfillment or success later in life or simply the feeling of learning entices you, either way, you're a crackhead.
If you like the feeling of sleeping another 3 hours and waking up later, really do it up; but you're still a crackhead, getting your much needed fix of chemical relief in this day to day struggle we live in.

We're all in the same game, simply because some white-ass old motherfuckers early in the 20th century made everything illegal, and flopped on the alcohol tip, doesn't mean your mind should still be trapped in that mentality. Your views need to change, and you have to realize it's all the same shit, just different (bigger and smaller) piles. I'm just trying to get my fix for today, go get yours; and not simply with drugs but with everything around me, drugs are simply there to enhance the experience of life itself and that's what needs to be understood.

I'm just trying to take a deep breath and enjoy the world... but they just won't let me breathe...

On the open-ended nature of Life.

2009-04-20T06:12:00.000-04:00

You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative, is so uncomplicated it could be expressed in single words not even complete sentences. It sounds like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act.

What I'm here to discuss is the open ended nature of life. You see there are many unnatural burdens that have been placed on our feeble animal minds. Everything from fashion to machinery to society on a whole are all just creations.

These creations are not something that a natural human being in the wild would have been exposed to. Most of you reading this will have been born and raised in "The City". But this is merely one minuscule part of the world in its entirety; you see in the real world there are no buses that come at some specified schedule, there are no "classes" scheduled at a specific time, there are no "convenience stores" placed ever so conveniently. We won't even get into things like the amount of real violence and poverty that's so widespread in the world (5/6 of the human population is in poverty); and being in poverty doesn't mean being homeless or poor and on welfare or some cushy shit like that, it means anything can happen at anytime, and you'll probably be hungry when that thing happens.

But I digress...

See the point I want to make is that these creations like education, employment, transportation, even shelter (housing) are all a trap. They have made us feel comfortable with that sense of safety and comfort that comes with them; and I would never argue against things like having a car or living in a house.

But what these creations have done is a plethora of restrictive thinking principles which plague every motherfucker alive right now.

You see, everything is all around us...

You need not go to one day of school to learn anything, if you are interested in learning, you will never get any of it done through any system of education in place right now. You gotta go out for it yourself; everything happenstance in life can be observed and learned from, you must gather everything you can on every side of every issue. (of Q-Spew)(future magazine, lawl.)...

Employment has left the most detrimental effect on society, and I don't mean you shouldn't work, because if you can get a job that pays, then go for it. The real problem lies in the fact that people have associated "money" with "job", saying things like: "I'm broke, I need a job" "Damnit I need more money, maybe I should get a second job." are all a result of this restrictive thinking that has been placed on us and these false associations of "money" with "job".

Because you see, money is simply a piece of paper. It lies in the wallets and pockets of almost every individual walking the streets. All you need to "make money" is simply to get that piece of paper from their wallet to yours. There is no official institution or some bullshit getting in your way, there is no boss to tell you what needs to be done, there is no company paying your salary or paycheck. There is simply an exchange of money, and if you can collect it at the street level, then you are a person with a mindstate of money-making. It is this mindstate that everyone from a drug dealer to the homeless guys begging for money to the window washers to the ticket scalpers know: all they have to do to get richer is get that paper from your hands to theirs. It's as simple as that.

On a side note, have you ever heard of the "Bazaar" or the "Marketplace" anytime they talk about old cities or in movies with old cities. These were the places in olden times when anyone could simply take their wares/products/services to the town center, and those looking for any wares/products/services would go to this same place. This has transitioned in the modern world to a place dominated (almost 99% of the market share) by corporations and stores and brands and chains; taking the power of supply and demand away from the people and putting in the hands of manipulative profiteering conglomerations where the value of a product is nowhere near the globalized excessive prices put on them. But fuck-a-Wal-Mart, this ain't about them, it's about us as human beings simply living our lives, forced to turn to these criminals...

Shelter is a tricky motherfucker, the simple creatures we are, we just love this simple luxury too much to understand its deepness and the level on which it changes us from simple dirty animals to simple clean animals. (lawlshowerjoke)

You see the problem I have with shelter is that it has given us a closed sense of the world; in the sense that when we arrive "home" or "school" or a "restaurant", we detach ourselves from the idea of a real world, we are no longer privy to the fact that we are simply in a cube of bricks on top of soil. As soon as we walk into our homes, we feel as if were in a zone of untouchability from the outside world. (a feeling that no one in the third-world knows) Another problem is that this has let us to believe that we aren't doing something right if we aren't doing "something, somewhere". See the world is everywhere, once again I repeat this because there is no such thing left in our world as "just chilling", even let's say "going to the park for a picnic" is a creation because why do we have to go to some man-made park with some barbeque put there for our convenience. See what people need to realize is that, once again, the world is everywhere. It waits for you on every single particle of air or stretch of concrete you see.

The simplest example of this I can make is a car ride, people usually view a car ride as a simple time killer and necessary event to go from "useful destination A" to "useful destination B", but the reality is there are no useful destinations, but fuck-a-philosophy right now, the point is that at every single stop light and on every kilometer of road you simply drove past, was a moment of life that you could have taken advantage of, anything from simply pulling over and sitting on the curb and having a smoke to getting out and lying down on the grass.

Learn to appreciate the fullness and openness of the world that we live in, try not to be a captive of these societal constrictions and let yourself be free as you were meant to be.

Enjoy the world at its best... everywhere you can.

On the Meaning of Life...

Life..... sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under.

Here I am going to tell you a very basic truth. What exactly you are. You are not a spirit, a soul, or even anything special. I know that sounds very hard to believe as most people spend their entire lives trying to convince themselves they are special. Supposedly, if you are special then your life is not pointless.

One of the reasons religion has done so well is the fact they convince people that there is a magical man in the sky watching everything they do and that he cares very much about them personally; another problem with people is that they do good things to please this magic-man, not simply to do good things (but we’ll leave that for another time).

How prosperous would a religion be that stated "God created the universe, then lost interest and went to get a Slurpee." If you really think about it, what motivates most people's actions is the desire to feel special. Competition is a huge byproduct of this need. The need to make money, gain power, or earn respect is all driven by the same need. Everyone just wants to feel as though their life means something and is important.

Well I have bad news for you... you're not special. Don't take it too hard for I am not special either. We are both just accidents of this stupendously huge universe, lucky enough to live for a little while before we die and cease to exist. No matter what you do, or how much you want it, nothing will change the fact that you are not special and once you die nothing you did while you were alive will mean anything. Due to the fact that this is it, you might as well accept it.

This is actually very good news. Enjoy every moment you can, because when your time is up, that's it. No reason to get stressed out or worry. None of it matters. No matter how much money you get, how many friends you have or how many homeless cats you rescue, you are still going to end up the same way the Pope, Conan O’Brien, and Barack Obama will… DEAD.

So relax, take a deep toke and enjoy what little worthless time you have left. But the point is that you have to do one thing, ENJOY YOUR MOTHERFUCKING SELF. Obviously there are the simple intricacies within life that we each have to deal with, but it’s all irrelevant in the big picture; get over that shit and move on with life.

Set goals, work hard, do good things, and be the best you can be; do these things because it is better for yourself in the long run, and for those around you. Don’t do them for any other reason.

Have you ever been YORKED? Aren't you always disgusted when you go to buy books or pay tuition and you see its even higher than the ridiculous bullshit you paid last time? It's only the same situation the T.A.'s are in; people are quick to blame someone for anything, but all these CUPE people are trying to do is get their fair share, and the same bullshit we deal with from York, they have to deal with as their job. I'm not even going to get into their job being hard cuz people will just say some stupid shit about how its not; the point of the matter is, they are one of the few groups who have the power to oppose the moneymaking Jew scheme that IS York University. What they are doing is simply what we should all have been doing from the beginning, opposing the constant wage reductions and tuition hikes and ridiculously retarded profiteering that the administration of the university partakes in. They pay everyone but the executive (Jewish) staff shit, they take stupid tuitions from already broke ass students and continue to profit from giving us subpar education for over the top prices. Everyone already hated York, but as soon as someone does something about it, just because it makes your situation a little different than the way you think it should be, you get mad. Are you mad that the school isn't going to pay you back for the courses you took? THAT IS THE UNIVERSITY'S BULLSHIT, not the CUPE's. That is the same bullshit they've always been known for, and just because you have someone easier to blame, you do it. Obviously the CUPE is out for its own interests too, but any one of you in a similar power situation would be, and IT'S THE GODDAMN RIGHT THING TO DO. If they can make the university pay them more, they should; we could do the same with tuition, but every single student is a lazy piece of shit, and now they're mad that the CUPE has done what we all should have done in the first place: TOLD YORK TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES. We pay for everything they do, why should we be slaves to their nonsense? We pay them for a service, they should be working for us, not us for them. And the service they "provide": education, it is ridiculously bad and pointless regardless, they are doing a bad job at what we pay them to do. They are not only taking too much money from us to do what we want them to do, they are not even doing a good job at it. All you motherfuckers need to realize that the administration at York is the problem, and anyone who is opposing them is your friend and part-time lover.

FUCK YORK UNIVERSITY.
