YO and Chillen
Everytime I hear these two words I just wanna strangle somthing because they are so annoying. (to me) so yes if your talking to me please don't say "yo" before every sentance (I won't treat you different, but if you do it just might make me cry) and if I ask you what your doing and you choose say "Chillen" or "Nothing" don't expect me to reply back. Thank you for listening and good day.

Okay so I've tried this blogging thing numerous times now only to abandon them after a few posts. But this time I'm determined to keep this one! So far I'm diggin Vox- the whole setup is real easy and makes me want to blog more. So expect this to stay updated. Watch this space, yeah?!
"Things falling apart is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing. We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don't really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It's just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all this to happen; room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy. When we think that something is going to bring us pleasure, we don't know what's really going to happen. When we think something is going to give us misery, we don't know. Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. We try to do what we think is going to help. But we don't know. We never know if we're going to fall flat or sit up tall. When there's a big disappointment, we don't know if that's the end of the story. It may be just the beginning of a great adventure."
Pema Chodron
Seen elsewhere on Vox...had to borrow it. I've been flirting with buying one of Chodron's books for some time now.
If they ever do a Batman movie with Harley Quinn in it, she shall be played by Natalie Portman.
That is all.
random, why is he so cute?
Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of the Soul.
Yeah.
I cracked up. Well done. :)
I bought four more books.
From Amazon.com:
Though love is a perennial topic for writers of all kinds, much of what is written about love is simplistic and unsatisfying. In Conscious Love, Richard Smoley—an expert on the esoteric traditions of mystical Christianity—incorporates insights and wisdom about love from noted thinkers in literature, art, philosophy, sociology, cultural criticism, and even neurology. This remarkable book offers a blueprint for infusing conscious love into human relationships.
This book, What is Called Thinking? is supposedly one of his later books that sort of attempts to revist a lot of the material he wrote in the beginning of his philosophical career, mainly Being and Time. It seemed like a good place to start, because thought I really want to own a copy of Being and Time and I want to read it....it's a little intimidating to be honest.
Next up, B. Alan Wallace's Hidden Dimensions: The Unification of Physics and Consciousness. Wallace is actually a rather popular writer on Buddhism, and I've noticed a few quotes from his books floating around in my Vox neighboorhood. What he attempts to do in this book is show how Western Science and Eastern Spirituality converge into one beautiful strain of thought.
From an Amazon.com review:
The question is this: Can quantum mechanics tell us anything useful about the nature of reality in the observable day-to-day world? .... how do Einstein's theories of Relativity tie in with our day-to-day experiences and with quantum theory?
He proposes that three fundamental problems are all related: first, the problem of measurement in quantum mechanics; second the problem of time in quantum cosmology and third the so-called "hard problem" in brain science that tries to explain how consciousness can arise form apparently inanimate matter.
....
He comes to the conclusion, rightly, I believe, that consciousness does not emerge from the brain but is conditioned by it. Furthermore, that the entire Universe of mind and matter arises from a fundamental non-dual reality.
Last but not least, a book on Chuang Tzu by Thomas Merton. I always enjoy Merton's style and I've been meaning to learn more about Chuang Tzu.
From Amazon.com:
"Working from existing translations, Thomas Merton composed a series of personal versions from his favorites among the classic sayings of Chuang Tzu, the most spiritual of the Chinese philosophers. Chuang Tzu, who wrote in the fourth and third centuries B.C., is the chief authentic historical spokesman for Taoism and its founder Lao Tzu (a legendary character known largely through Chuang Tzu's writings). Indeed it was because of Chuang Tzu and the other Taoist sages that Indian Buddhism was transformed, in China, into the unique vehicle we now call by its Japanese name — Zen. The Chinese sage abounds in wit, paradox, satire, and shattering insight into the true ground of being. Father Merton, no stranger to Asian thought, brings a vivid, modern idiom to the timeless wisdom of Tao. Illustrated with early Chinese drawings."
Most people who are ticklish happen to be very Artistic Persons.

I watched this last night, and throughout the film, at times, i thought it was too long. it was on and off for me. now that i have my thoughts cleared, it's a good movie and i want to see it again. there was a point in which i felt like i couldn't watch it anymore due to its heavy violence, and a moment where it actually felt like hope was gone. this film is different from a lot of the other superhero films due to the fact that its maturity level is much higher. the conflicts batman/bruce wayne faces is at a much higher and mature level, compared to spiderman (though i must say peter's internal thoughts are written much better in the film). there's so much more to being good and evil, black or white..because it is impossible to divide something. there is always that gray filter...
the ending of the film just makes it that much more realistic about the real world in terms of the good and the bad. i think this film is a must see, though i disgaree with those that claim it to be the best film ever - it is indeed a good film. all the actors did really well, and it was difficult to not like a character (yes...even the joker!). heath did a great job, along with bale and oldman...

This is the song of the moment because: is soooo Ebony Doll!!!!!!! when grow up is right, I'm not worried about fame, all I want is to share my vision. I am turnign 17 next month (yea me!!!!!!) every single year people tell me that I'm becoming a woman lol my sixteenth was the worst I decided not to have a party because I thought no one would come so I spent the entire day volunteering at a recreation center, surving people food and since a couple of my friends we're telling people that it was my birthday, some of them gave me money. I hope that I become a woman someday....or atleast feel like one at some point in my life. the only thing I want for my birthday is to have as much confidence as these women do.
