Optimism and Solidarity for the Syrian Revolution

This year I've been having a change of heart on Syria. I've long thought that Obama should have put in place a no fly zone or even overthrown Assad with NATO air support, for the sake of stability. I still thought the concept of doing it last year seemed like a recipe for world war, and to be honest, a no fly zone probably wouldn't have worked. For a while I also thought that the non-existent US arming of anti-Assad rebels was a mistake which led to the war. In the last two years I was nearly accepting the Assadist line of how he's the lesser of two evils, although I always wavered on this. Lately in my readings I've come to completely different conclusions, which I feel are important to share. Sorry to announce an unpopular opinion, but the Assadist line is self-serving nonsense. So take a seat and hear my message.

Beat the Brow, Adolescence Clock

Today's the first day

Living for nobody

Nothing's behind my back

Nobody up my sleeve

It's the mystery serenade

To greet me to sleep tonight;

It's the kiss

Of the moonlight.

Though love has spat

My desire back at me

At least I'm here

In the darkness, at bat.

The creek moves on

Waters-a-flowing

Dreams are showing

And a little admiration, too.

As long as I'm feeling it

There's a nice, gentle step.

Long as I live it

There's a love that runs deep.

There's a heart I can keep

And all the love I can spare

To reach the wearier heart

Though journeys'll be steep.

Even when you feel

Deep down inside, in that tender place:

You've done enough

You've failed, at last

You can just sit and remember

Let the gloom console you a while

And stay a while

Because this could go on forever.

This could go on forever

Just you and me

and the dreams that flow the walls.

Crude Staple

Crude Staple
Climbing up the beanstalk
The grit beneath red hands
I'm wearing the clothes you like
I'm showing off my style

When can I come up
And reach your golden steps
When can you shine those eyes
Upon me?

Beautiful lover,
When can I see your letter
When can we meet forever
When will the sun fall down?

It's a dire long fall from here
The Earth looks so cold below
The bristle winds vainly give me
The goosebumps that have driven me.

The best you demanded
That your perfection designed
I would be perfected
And you'd me forever mine.

But the fairy tale ambitions
Have now turned away, to dust,
The pedals swept away
To leave old wooded husk.

What a long old way to fall
From love, how long I have to fall.
But of the princesses I've loved
To forget you is hardest of all.

Transhumanism and the Elderly Condition

Transhumanist Party USA members have been sharing a dialogue lately about growth of our common ideas. In the course of the discussion members have spoken a great deal about their thoughts on religious outreach. Outreach is an important deal for this movement and we need not be exclusive of any group which we can work with. So today, in a different argument but a similar one, I would draw attention to the elderly.

Who Are We? Perspective on Judginess

We ask constantly of ourselves, when can things define people? Predefining is supposed to be a forbidden fruit in many instances, but we logically must define people at some point. Maybe our ideologies do not permit us to see people otherwise. Maybe we have the conventional view of a man as a fixed being, unchanging, and of roles which fit rigidly but comfortably. Or maybe even we have some truth on our side. Truths which make themselves 'clear as day and irrevocable'.

A Mega Update and some New Worldism

Today is a pretty reflexive morning. School is back in a matter of days. As much as I'm gonna miss my dog, I feel it's about time to blow this popsicle stand, again. This place is just boring and has been cramping my style. I wanna get to fucking work now. With a new outlook, there are new goals I want to pursue in the real world. I'll likely only get out for the purpose of printing something out and going to classes, but one should not sell themselves short so soon. Indeed, I already find it hard to try with people because of my somewhat low self-esteem as of late, and my introverted nature.

We Can Have a 'Debate', as Long as You Don't Lie and Obfuscate
