Sometimes we think we got it. We have this mastermind idea/plan that will be a hit, but sadly turns into a bust even after making several attempts...
Does this sound familar? It should. As the producer of the Ryusin Show on Youtube, I've hit these kind of dilemmas in my life a lot. I guess we just realize that since we are human... that not every action we execute will go about according to plan... and that we will mistakes. Yet a simple piece of advice could turn ya in the right direction; Don't give up. Just Think Different.
So maybe your last dream didn't become a reality no matter how much you tried. Well, I can say one thing for certain. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Not a very wise idea; so I don't mean to be a life coach here (Even though I sound like one) but if you just awake to the fact that many of our dilemmas in life are universal. To experience the pain of failure is something we've all experienced. To experience the disapointment of not succeeding is a GREAT THING...
When we fail- we learn. When we win- we sometimes get a bit over over our heads and end up failing again. Thus you could say it's kinda a vicious cycle... I suppose you just need to find out -WHAT WORKS-- and what doesn't. That's how all youtube celebs made themselves sensations- they found out what works and their audience will continue demanding more and more...
So, it's really not so much a matter of replicating someone else's success but rather perhaps you can get inspiration from their success and game plan and either try to make it your own or brainstorm an entirely original idea and see how it goes.
Either way, I wish you luck my friend. Remember Bruce Lee's quote....
"BE WATER MY FRIEND"
Look up the entire quote on google. Anyways, when I think of that quote I think of how versatile water is... water can flow, crash, pour, sink, dissolve- much like success itself. If you wanna keep the water flowing then you have to keep feeding your dream. Like a plant, be patient. Success isn't always an overnight thing- but once it blossoms- you can continue to flourish at your gift. Bruce Lee's gift was martial arts- it's time to find out your talent- feed it, nurture it, and when it takes off.... show the world what your made of... Like the almighty Bruce Lee!
Aside from being a great Martial artist, Bruce Lee was also wise in his deliberations. When he fought, he not only fought not only with strenth but his inner wisdom. A wisdom that takes time to grow... but a life time to master...
Now's the time to... Think Different. If your last deliberation didn't work out so much, don't give up- just try harder. Persistance is a virtue my friend....

Your Dreaming NOW
I have not yet seen the movie "Inception" but I've been interested in the topic of dreams and life for quite some time. I'd like to introduce a theory that may or may not already be publicly out there (I bet it is, but I'd like to offer my own thoughts for fun anyway)
My theory is called the "Your Dreaming NOW Theory" Crappy title? Maybe. But I think it's blunt and to the point. I know it sounds crazy... like really- Your dreaming now? I'm dreaming now? Well how is this a dream?!
Well... it's a dream in the sense of how reality and dreams word in the same matter. You are what you think. You live what you think. Your whole life is just one big dream and some of the bad things that do come into your life are more or less likely influenced by negative external influences such as the media-- The news, TV shows, Internet, Friends etc.
I think it's plausable to say that when we witness a horrible or unfornate scenario, even if fictional on Television- this vision get's implanted in our brain... Remember the Simon and Garfunkel song? "... And the visions... that were implanted in our brain... still remain" from their song "Sound of Silence"? I thought that'd be a good little analogy. Anyways- it's really complex to explain but I'm trying to put it into terms that all of can comprehend.
So--> even if my theory were in fact true- Why should you care and does this change your life in any shape or form? Yes and No. It depends how deeply you are willing to accept my theory into your life and if you do choose to do so- what changes will you make?
I have *THOUGHT* that by this time, I would have a much larger following of blogger subscribers then what I do currently (Only a measly 5) but perhaps that's because I didn't believe strongly enough in that vision. Perhaps thinking something alone just isn't enough. You have to envision it happening now - in the moment- in order for it to stand any substantial chance of becoming a reality. I'm not a religious person, but perhaps this power is so real, so extroadinary that you might already be using it in your life and you just don't realize it yet.
You can call this luck or whatever- but I have been in various close encounters with cars when riding my bicycle or walking down the street trying to cross a main road. There's a lot of horrible, careless drivers out there. We all know that- what's even more incredible is the # of times a car has almost hit me on a bike and I seemingly always seem to avoid it.
I remember as a 8 yr old kid riding on the wrong side of the street near my Grandmother's house and dodging a car on my scooter as the last minute. A more recent instance--> I recall a woman who was making a right turn in her huge SUV and litterally came within inches of hitting me until she saw me crossing the road at the last minute. I had a feeling in my mind before crossing the street that this could happen... unconscious and consciously but that my 'invisible Guardian Angel' would protect me and miracolously this has happened time and time again. I'm not saying I'm invinsible but I just find it kinda shocking how I was able to pull off all of this without ever getting a scratch - Perhaps it is just luck.
I don't care if you think it is- I think it's something more than just sheer luck. Maybe the same has happened to you and I think that you just might be practicing the "Your Dreaming NOW theory" without your conscious realization of it.
If my theory is true- I suppose the hardest part is trying to install an entirely new mindset within yourself to eliminate all negative thoughts with good, positive thoughts. It's tough no doubt so maybe the best step is to start small. You can keep your Grand, lofty dreams all you want. They make you happy don't they? They make me happy too.
But how about for once dreaming of something simple to come into your life. Something that you can convince yourself that is very believable and plausable to happen.
Well, more on this another time. I'm getting kind of tired now. It is 2 AM........... Adios folks!

~Ryusin Poetry~
Poetry says' it's best. I don't care what they say- it's better then all the rest. Rhyme a dime, hey; at least I ain't commitin a crime- No, no... Just writing on a moments whim... letting my heart write to it's limitless content... and so there we have it; poetry at it's finest has no script, has no direction- it simply flows on a feelings whim... a whim that just might be a bit of brilliance if ya believe in those hands of yours to type to your hearts content again and again...
~Time Again?~
Time again. Why won't you gimme a break? You keep wrecking my fate. You keep making me late! Why must you move so fast, have last I lost it? I think not! Time, time - your with me again, working against me like some cruel twisted form of fate. I can't rate you or even define you- your just that annoying pest who shames me time and time again.
Time again. Leave me alone. Let me win again. Let me live life like I want - without your constant haunt that I'm late again. Time, time, to let go again. It's tommorow again. Yesterday was the same as the next and the last. Oh forget the past- I'd give a dime to make you go away again... Time... Time... if i could that is....
================
===============
"Everyday is exactly the same"
Remember Yesterday? It felt like today. Remember last week? It felt like today. Remember last month? It felt like today. Everyday is exactly the same. There is no shame, there is no pain, There is no love, there is no way such could be true, but sad to say such is very true indeed.
You can't cry. You can't sigh. You are nothing but the same. To whatever you do now, it's all the same. You dream of fame, you ponder of the thought of another way- but either way- everything is always the same. Why did life take a knife to you in such a way? It is some sick joke?! No, it's actually your own silly play. For you see--> Everyday is what you make of it, for yes, there is a lot of the same- but for every dream- there is a way. a way out of this haunted maze. A way to a path where everyday will no longer be the same... same.... same... ya see, it's like a game.
Your the player. Life is the game. You just can't have it your way. Your loosing now, but don't fret, it might not always be this way. Your okay... believe me... everyday is the same but something will change this twisted way... believe me.... believe me you must, or forever be stuck in the same... same.... same....
=====================================
=====================================
"Chewin my gum, thinkin like a thug"
Yeah, that's right. I'm chewin my gum and thinkin like a thug- Tired of being this person you always mug. Your the criminal and I'm the beast. Tonight- I'll make you my feast. I'll take you down in your shame and make you know I am no longer the same. I'm king now- Yeah, that's right. Chewin you down and spittin you like a peice of.... oh what's that?
Don't be like that. I told you I'm a thug... heh, I might even say your a skunk! because, let's be honest now.... it's reverse now... You were once king and now I am loud and proud - No longer can you take me, shape me or mold me into what you desire... and how you have that deep fire to do ever so... no more shall you do so.
I'm a thug... or so I say... but really I'm just admitting that now I'm okay. Because I'm at top again, stronger the before... and you.... well... heh, all I can feel for you is simple pity that you are no longer.... Anymore.
===============
===============
"Please, do so"
If you want to do it. Simple yet scary, yet scary yet ... oh forget it! It's just not as easy as you tell me so! You act like it's so easy... if only you understood my side... but let's be real: We can't hide anymore. You said you wanted help so I said 'what can I do' you told me all you had too and then you paused... Why?!
Why could you do such to me? Trust is surely like a peice of clay... you can see I am solid and strong...a foundation that will last forever lure. However decieving you may see me to be, please understand that whether you like it or not- I'm on my way. I'm on my way to dive into you. Feed you. Live you. but never- will I ever, scold or mold you. Your fine doing things your own way. Please, do so. Do what you wish... but remember I told you my only wish! but it's over now- I'm on my way! I can't stand to stand still forever more!!! I need to know you are doing things your own way... Why? well it all begins with 'Please, do so' because hey, I'm not one to exagerate... Be my guest really... PLEASE, DO SO. Take a risk. Meanwhile, let me insert this floppy disc into my PC..... ANTIQUATED EVER SO! but so are you- Stop relishing on the long lost forever more and move on ever so, toward your own way... your own path...
Please, do so.
Please, do so.
==============

"Memory is like a drum..."
Memory is ever so like a drum. Beating in your head, never seeming to end. Memories of good and memories of bad- which do you remember more? Don't tell me... I can already see just by the way you looked at me. You want it to continue or you want it to end? Make your mind before this becomes a memory of ever so regret....
and... like a drum... like a drum
We keep marching on... In search of new memories, in search of new that we never forsaw. I'm not genie but I can certainly say, that your in for a surprise, unless you stay consumed in this very memory... memory...
and like a drum...
you say, what now? what do you desire? that fire in your eyes is only HALF the story... your mind truly stores it all. It's time you put down the drum and let this moment turn not just a memory... but an experience... oh but I'm no genie so forget what I say at last...
and like a drum.... like a drum....
Keep marching stranger.... march... march.... march to your own beat =)

Let's Pause and Reflect
Dear World,
I’ve decided to pause and reflect for a minute on my life rather than continuing my short-story series. I have some thoughts I’d like to share with all of you, quite a lot to absorb at one time for sure but so was this run-on sentence. Listen folks, I understand that the topic of life can be rather broad and to be quite frank, boring but, I think what I have to share with you today is something worth hearing.
Have you ever had those days where you felt like you were living your life as if walking on a treadmill not really getting anywhere yet somewhere inside of you, you just had that hope that one day a miracle will happen or hell, you might be in college and you just know that your working for something and that fills you with a lot of satisfaction I’m sure. Well, I know that feeling all to well myself. This summer I’ve talked with a lot of people and I think that there is something to be learned from all of them. First off, I’d like to give a shout-out to my friend Dart whom I met on Yahoo Answers not too long ago. Dark is a very unique individual, studying the history of this planet among ancient civilizations. Truly a fascinating guy who has a heart for believing in the impossible and living out life to it’s fullest. Before I continue on, you may wonder à What gives? What’s with the shout-out? Well, I think that these conversations are a part of my life and that the people around us really are like wizards and sages along our path. Sure you’ll run across a few bimbos but it’s mostly not in ill-will ha. Anyways, let’s just continue on shall we?
I’d also like to give a little shout-out to Becca, my online pen-pal. Yet another unique girl who has a way with words and expressing her thoughts. I’m starting to put all these conversations together and I’m realizing something quite very beautiful and that is… The world is full of beautiful minds. From every corner of the globe; from Hong Kong to New Zealand to the USA. Yet to often, it seems that these beautiful minds don’t get the true recognition they deserve. We seem to mindlessly flutter through channel after channel on our televisions and surely come across a few celebrities whom we may feel that lack the spark that should define a position of fame and recognition. Some of these supposed stars seem to repeat songs about love, life but in actuality; it seems to be the same old crap but with new words (Yes I am referring to some singers in particular whom I shall not name) Regardless, I can’t say the world is always fair. That’s just life for ya. It’s not always what you have inside but rather the connections you have that can lead you to a life of fame and riches so what can I say; lucky them I suppose!
But maybe there not so lucky because some of us are in tune to some of the great things in life their missing out on. I can’t read your mind and I don’t know what exactly your current life circumstances are. All I can tell you is a little simple piece of advice that has been passed down from generation to generation and that advice just so happens to be “Have faith in yourself.” I don’t care where you come from. Who you are. What you do. What you may not be now- You can be someday for sure. I’d like you to heed in mind that this doesn’t have to be a journey where you venture alone my fellow people; this can be our journey. We can share our thoughts, share our dreams and who knows; maybe we can inspire each other and lead one another to something truly great. Even if we fail, our friendship is priceless. Even our conversation will be one to be remembered especially if considering you have a knack for remembering the kind of people that some people just never seem to forget!
Remember and KNOW that this journey doesn’t have to begin next year, next week or even tomorrow. It can begin NOW. Just by dropping me a little message, a little message where ya open up; tell me how you truly feel… You might be surprised what I have to offer. So just so ya know; your never alone folks in this journey of life. You’ll always have me and I’ll try to be there for you every step of the way. Love yourself, and begin to not look at life and the rest of the world as this “scary unknown-like thing” but rather paths unexplored, opportunities not yet conquered. We can take this world by storm but I can’t do it without you. Why? Because your pretty amazing stranger. Whoever you might be, I think the world just hasn’t yet realized your brilliance no matter how old or young you might be =)
Sincerely,
Ryusin

This isn't about who you are, or who I am.
This is a question of who can dance the dance, and sing in tune.
But you see, this song and dance is delusive.
And you're stuck on stage.
When the spotlight turns to you,
Doomed to a life of what could be.
I look forward to proving you wrong
For I'll create a song like no other.
A song that will be crafted with my own two hangs and sung with my own voice.
This song isn't merely just a song but a revolution...
A RYUSIN REVOLUTION that is....
Welcome to the show, and thank you for coming aboard folks. The Ryusin Blog is about doing what's impossible, it's about inspiration, it's about short-stories such as Ryusin Story. It's about helping you navigate through lifes many paths and most importantly it's about YOU. Every blog I craft with a mission of trying to ignite your soul and propel you in a new train of thought.
So there you have it folks....WE might be booed offstage but I'd like to think different.
I'd like to say, we just might have a shot at this. Wait for it......
STAY CLASSY FOLKS!
My signature ending line from yours truly,
Ryusin
This is a question of who can dance the dance, and sing in tune.
But you see, this song and dance is delusive.
And you're stuck on stage.
When the spotlight turns to you,
will you know your line?
Or will you be booed offstage?,Doomed to a life of what could be.
I look forward to proving you wrong

Ryusin Episode 1: "This power. is... what?!"
Hey everyone. I’d like to introduce you all to my short-story series “Ryusin” It’s about your average high school guy who discovers what it's like to change his life with a single thought. Sound's crazy right? Well... it sure is... not gonna lie.
Anyways without further delay, I’d like to let the show begin…. Ryusin… were ready…
Anyways without further delay, I’d like to let the show begin…. Ryusin… were ready…
3, 2, 1, GO-->
~Ryusin~ EPISODE 1: “This power is.... what?!"
(Narrator): Our story begins with a 17 year old high school senior by the name of Ryusin. In so many ways, Ryusin is your average high school student. He’s always been a bit of an oddball and he’s well aware of it - a bit quirky and reserved however, highly creative and kind of smart actually. In many ways, he represents that kid you remember in high school that few really understood, but for those who did, he was a pretty cool guy. A bit of a dreamer… sometimes an optimist… sometimes a bit pessimistic… I guess you could say in many ways for all his differences, he wasn’t really so different from the rest of us. Part of growing up is finding your place after all right? Well, see Ryusin or really none of us would expect “THIS“… to happen in our lives… it’s a bit like something out of a fairytale… only it’s not only real; it’s downright dangerous…. Will Ryusin be able to control what’s coming at him? Let’s find out shall we?
Ryusin leans back in his chair staring at the clock in math class and takes a deep breath anxiously waiting for his first period Math Class to end.
(Teacher): This quadratic formula can be applied to these kind of word problems… However let’s look at an alternative way to solve these kind of problems using the quadratic formula in a different way… First we take the first number…
(Ryusin): blanks out and begins day dreaming of a girl sitting on the opposite side of the room. (thoughts): She’s pretty… hmm, she seems interesting. I wonder what she’s into… hmm…
Looks away so it doesn’t look obvious he’s looking at her. Begins to get back in tune to what the teacher is saying.
(Teacher): Finally after you add these two numbers together and then multiply it by the number of original numbers in the equation- you’ll get your answer. Now, if you would all turn to page 172 and try Example 4 and 5 on your own.
The sound of pages flipping is heard throughout the class… one student in the class begins to groan and say “its time to go” to which the teacher replies “there’s still 5 more minutes”
(Ryusin): sighs silently to himself. (Thinks to self): Man, I have no idea how to do this… … Ryusin begins writing random numbers working out the problem knowing he’s doing it wrong as he’s sees the teacher walking around the class.
(Teacher): Okay Ryu, let’s see what you have here… Uh, nope. First your supposed to add to the power of square and than subtract the 3 numbers.. Follow the example. The teacher quickly walks to another student who asks for help.
(Ryusin): (Thinks to self): This class is so SLOW……
Bell Rings
(Ryusin): yawns and thinks to himself: finally! Man, I’ll have to figure out how to do all this homework later tonight… I don’t even wanna look at all this math now. Okay let’s see… Tech class! Kind of boring, but at LEAST it’s not math .
High School students are walking about in the hallways (outdoor hallways I might add…) Some are quickly walking to class whilst others appear to be busy talking with their friends, buff’s, gf’s and such…
Ryusin walks at a normal rate to class knowing it’s not to far away from his 1st period class….
(Narrator) Heh, ya know in many ways MY life… was so ordinary and dull back then… Yeah that’s right. No 3rd person this time, this is my story… My story of how an mundane, dull life can change in an instant… and how that instant is not only exhilarating… but mind altering… I went into my tech class that day doing whatever… bored out of my mind… I think I’ll spare you the dull details and get to the interesting part… The part of my day… that really …. changed…. everything…
Fast forward-- Ryusin is now on his lunch break talking with his friend Zack. Ryusin say’s he’ll be right back.
(Ryusin) walking down the hallway. Dirty high school bathrooms… all to do what, release whatever the hell is in my bladder… Gawd… I hope there isn’t any urine on the ground this time…
Walks in the bathroom and see’s a 2 or so kids smoking pot as per usual.
(Ryusin): In bathroom stall doing well… that TMI…
Suddenly the room blackens and Ryusin finds himself in your dream-like world…
(Ryusin): What the hell? Did I blackout? What the hell is this?
(Unknown figure in black room and hood): speaks with a deep voice It’s cool huh?
(Ryusin): who are you?
(Sygar) Call me Sygar, it’s a pleasure to meet you Ryu, I honestly thought I would never find you… the people of Planet Darphur were screaming for me to find you for over a decade… FINALLY…. Sorry to catch you in such an odd location… *cough* bathroom *cough*
(Ryusin): eyes widen confused What the hell are you talking about, what is this?
(Sygar): Haha… Think of this as if it’s your key back to REALITY… you’ve been dreaming Ryusin. None of this has been real- Your life, your … well EVERYTHING. This is like… wow, well you really know NOTHING huh? laughs giggling
(Ryusin): What is this nonsense? I just want to wake up.
(Sygar): Actually you’ve already woken up… sort of. Right now were in ANOTHER dream… Okay lemme explain since SOMEONE is a little clueless haha. Your life is but one dream of a Darphurian. Do you want to know WHY mankind has advanced at it has on Earth? Because a Darphurian DREAMED it. Now, you might be asking yourself “But why is the dream… so … life-like”
Well see, that’s like saying dreams aren’t real. Well, some aren’t like human dreams- but even a human once in a blue moon might have a dream that’s VERY real.. Were a multi-dimensional universe Ryu, every demension hold’s it’s perks…
So yeah… Earth it’s like a freakin’ baby! Compared to Darphur. Haha
(Ryusin): ………….. What the fuck
(Sygar): It’s a rather lot to absorb, Earthlings obviously won’t get it but you will… once you get out of your earthling like mindset… your compatible of so much more ya know Ryu? Your mind is like the HOLY GRAIL… I mind gosh, that’s why I’ve been looking for you for like over a DECADE… you’re a pretty special kid ya know that?
(Ryusin): … I’m not some genius ya know
(Sygar): You are. Your mind is LOCKED. Your only using a fraction of your true potential and I KNOW that deep down inside of you somewhere inside of you… YOU KNOW THAT… but you just refuse to accept it and accept your locked self.
(Ryusin):……
(Sygar): Tell ya what Ryu… your imagination is rather complex… so with that in mind, I have an idea. I’m going to send you back onto to Earth only when you return NOTHING will be the same… the reason being… I have unlocked your mind. You now have control over every living thing in Earth. All you have to do… is think it. Really. That simple. Just think it. So for the next several weeks I’m going to let you learn just how incredible your power is… and maybe you just might change the world in a couple weeks when we meet again…. Until then! Remember! Just think it!
(Ryusin): …… looks around shaking in a bathroom stall thinking to self: What the hell just happened…
(Ryusin): Think it… imagine it?
(Sygar’s voice echoes into the air): Imagine that? He’s got it!
(Ryusin): What?
Sygar fades into the air
(Ryusin): thinks to self: I’m gonna imagine that girl in math class running up to me right now….
(Girl): bumps into Ryusin. Oh I’m sorry
(Ryusin): it’s okay…
(Girl): continues walking
(Ryusin):……..
(Sygar voice comes into Ryu’s head) Fool! If you want more than just a bump… THINK IT!!! THINK IT!!! But ya gotta believe in it! Any doubts what-so-ever and it won’t come true.
(Ryusin) thinks to self: she’s gonna turn around and ask me what the homework was for today
(Girl): Oh hey!!! Your name’s uhh Ryu I think? Right? What was the homework for today I forgot to write it down
(Ryusin):…. It was p.445 1-45 even problems only.
(Girl): writing it down on her notepad. K thanks!
(Ryusin) Thinks to self laughing: envisions girl running up to him in pure glee
(Sygar’s voice): You KNOW to yourself that you don’t truly believe that thought. If you truly did it would come true, but because your doubt exists- it won’t.
You have to BELIEVE truly in what you think in order for it to manifest in YOUR reality. Doubts destroy this power. I mean let’s take a radical yet possible idea: You could blow up Mount Fiji in Japan right now if you just thought it, you could make the sun die right now if you wanted, you could make everyone 2D if ya wanted…
Crazy I know, but it comes with practice. Your mind is a powerful one Ryu.
So get out there and get laid!!!
(Ryusin): What?!
(Sygar): Just kidding! But man, ya really should! It’s TOTALLY like how it’s in your DREAMS…
(Ryusin): Listen…
(Sygar): Do you find it coincidental that those 2 actions just occurred on their own? They didn’t. Thoughts become things!
(Ryusin) Dude, it sounds like a chapter out of that book the Secret… you’re a freakin’ rip off. Your full of BS
(Sygar): Listen, I used that quote to ring a bell in your head Ryu! The fact of the matter is, not ALL thoughts can become things but with a mind as powerful as yours a HELLUVA lot can become a reality. Your really… powerful…ya know… im dead serious. That’s why we kicked you out of…
(Ryusin): What?
(Sygar): Nothing…
(Ryusin) Okayyyyyyyyyyyyy. Right. Listen man, I…
(Sygar) if you want her, than think about a plausible scenario and it will become a reality! Start small! Your power will in time soon awaken… Imagine that uhh…
(Ryusin): imagines that we run into each other again 5 minutes later and she asks me “Hey I like your Legend of Zelda shirt*
…………… IT HAPPENS!
(Sygar): See?
(Ryusin):……… this… is real…
(Sygar): Not only is it real, but it’s freakin’ sweet! You can life a girls skirt up and yeah! Your like God!!!
(Ryusin): …….
(Sygar): Don’t worry man, tomorrow’s another day. Rest a little, the power is probably a lot to accept and learn about in one day. Tomorrow is Sunday right? Alright man, I’m sending you to Walmart and the girl WILL be there because I decided to do ya a favor ha. She is going to be in the magazine section. She is going to be by herself so you’ll have your chance to make a move!
Stay tuned folks…… More of Sygar and Ryusin right back at ya in a flash... in Episode 2...

The Age of Awakening
Hello world. Hello people of the Earth. There's comes a time in every man and woman's life where they ask themselves "Who am I?" In fact you could even really say they wonder "What the hell am I doing with my life?" I'm at that point in my life right now. I'm 19 and often my dreams seem to dominate my thoughts- So many various dreams and visions of me living out the life my soul has always desired- A life of riches (not just referring to money, mind you) but a life full of happiness and power- That to me is a rich life. It seems that I'm at that point in my life where I'll look back years into the future and probably think to myself "Man, why did I freakin' waste my time that?" but let's be real: Life is a journey and to say that your always going to walk down the correct path, that your always going to be 100% perfect in everything you do is simply unrealistic. In fact, for every failure you learn, and for every mistake you regret you know that it's part of your life story. It made you who you are today and it can't be all that bad- Considering your still alive and well reading this - You must have done something right. I mean at least your not dead. ^_^;
It's frustrating to be in this maze I'm in right now in my life. It's like I'm not really positive what path I want to take, I mean I know what I generally desire in life - Happiness, and all that good stuff that a lot of you like and cherish. That's all good- The hard part is deciding what you want to do with the gifts you have within you. I really believe that within all of us is a gift, that gift can be anything really- An amplitude for mathmatics, a passion for music, a deep love for writing if your like me. Sometimes, we ask ourselves "What would I be happiest doing?" "What was I really born to do"
I don't think you can say any of us were born to do anything. We didn't just get to where we are today through genetics. Your genetics don't define you- Your upbringing, your schools and the people around you kind of shape you to some extent. I guess you can kinda say I'm writing this blog just kinda wishing that this whole frustrating maze would just end! That I would finally AWAKEN to what I love to do - something that really can change my life. I thought to myself that maybe music is what I ought to do. Well, to be quite honest, I don't know how to play any instruments but I could certainly learn and teach myself if I was dedicated. (Of course it would be far easier to learn off someone else.)
So that kinda got me thinking a little. Seeing all the lights, seeing the crowds and using my creative talent to produce music- sing to the world with all my hearts content and love every minute of it. Problem is, I don't have the voice... I mean I wish I had a voice that would send goosebumps down your soul when I sing but I just don't. So maybe I wasn't born to sing and maybe this dream is nothing more than your average young guy or gal's dream of "I wanna be a rockstar!!!"
Yeah I'm one in a gajillion with that dream- Good luck to me and everyone else with that. But... when ya think about it... there is quite a few big shots out there, celebrities we'll call them if we will that really surprised a lot of people. I mean these people are no different than you and me. Like me and you- They had a dream. A dream of offering their talent to the world and they probably thought to themselves "Why don't I give it a shot, Why don't I try the impossible" and they made what was once thought an impossible, unrealistic dream to strangers around them a reality. Their reality is often the result of determination and that old fashioned mantra ya here from time to time "Never give up"
Sorry if I sound like a bit of a broken record here from blog to blog. I know I'm not the best blogger out there, I know I hardly have a following and that these words may go unheard- but so what? I have a dream. A dream so grand that you'll never be able to touch it because it is bleeding inside of my soul and it's a fire I'll never stop feed. This burning passion of mine is not a clear concrete goal- I've said in past goals that I've wanted to be a celebrity blogger and now I'm saying I'm really not so sure what I want to do. So what? I mean... I could just say "Screw this" throw in the towel and give up blogging because I have a small following and all that jazz. That's not who I am and it's never going to be who I am.
Ya know, If you didn't know- There's a trace of American Indian blood in me. That's right one of my great ancestors was pure blooded American Indian. Were some of the toughest fighters this country has ever known. We don't fall nor flinch to any challenge before us- We fight till we die. Heritage doesn't completely define us as people, but it definitely is something to be proud of. That's life- Learning not only just about yourself but your background, your origins, the people around you- Everything all around you at this moment forms your life story and no one can ever take that away from you. Your living but a mere paragraph or page in your life right now. Ya never really know what could be around the corner.
As time changes so do people. The Age of Awakening is before many of us. The moment in time where the light bulb above your noggin goes EUREKA! and then you experience something in your life that changes the whole entire course of your life leading you in the right direction. Ya know, it's crazy to say someone's life could change overnight but it often does happen. Ya know, maybe the title of this blog is a little inaccurate for all the info I'm pouring out ya- I mean when ya think about it- There's many "Age's of Awakening" in your life.
10 years from now I'll look back on this blog and say to myself "I wouldn't write what I did then, today" Such is life... Change.... Change.... Change.... Yet some things just never change... Like the tree's around us, the sun's gleaming rise in the morning.... time, time time.
Time and time again I dream of what could be. What I want it to be- but the truth is- It doesn't always come about to be when you want it to happen and sometimes ya just gotta try something different in order to achieve your dreams and get to where ya wanna be going. If the path your on today isn't working - Change it. Sure it's never to late to achieve your dreams from 1-109 but lemme assure you that it's better earlier than late.
I conclude this blog with one little piece of advice that I hope all of you will take to heart in present day and in the future.... Don't give up. Never give up. You can't afford to give up. What you just might need to do is... Think different. Think beyond what's already known... take the unbeaten path... take a little risk... and see where it may lead... failure or riches or crimes and stiches? (Little rhyme there, lol) Just keep walking about! Sooner or later those who think they can... WILL KICK ASS AND TAKE NAMES SO DONT THINK YOU CAN'T
Don't be a mime it ain't a crime to be different. It ain't a crime to say "Why don't I just change the world" In fact, it's pure genius. Let's change the world... Today. =)

We are The Lazy Generation
I picked up the following title "We are The Lazy Generation" from some song I remember hearing a little while back. Let's be quite frank, we are kinda lazy at times. We use remotes to change channels on our televisions, an overwhelming majority (to my sincere belief) do not scan songs they download from livewire that have viruses and THERE'S no e before a word ending in -ing! (Okay that's more sheer stupidity than laziness) but I'm getting to that actually.
See, I was just on Myspace about 10 minutes ago just browsing random people on the site out of boredom. What I saw was not only common-sight but downright sickening. How often do you see "RIP ___insert name here___" on someone's status on their Myspace. With all do respect, I understand that a lot of deaths are unpreventable such as kid's who suffer from Cancer as one example. However, let's be completely real here: A LOT of those deaths are in fact preventable and they all stem from sheer stupidity. I mean, it's safe to assume a lot of these deaths probably involve over drinking, perhaps excessive drug use... etc. I mean I don't mean to be Mr. Stern here, I like to have as much fun as the next guy but even I have the smarts to know that too much of anything can be a bad thing.
So...that's just my two cents regarding that matter. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe I ought to shut up cause I've never been in their shoes. I don't know - but I do know one thing- A little knowledge and a little saying called "Think before you act" is certainly not fatal advice but just might be the short, sweet kind of advice that could save your life. So keep that in mind, folks. Another little thing that irked me ever so was all the text speak that was in plenty of abundance all throughout Myspace profiles left and right. i MeAn G!v3 me a BrEEak. Talking like that doesn't make you cool- it just shows me you have this mindset that "If I talk like this, my group and friends will think I'm so cool and I'll be viewed as cool!" Well I rather be viewed as the lamest ass guy on the block than ever speak like that. Don't do anything to impress. Strive for yourself and your own goals and desires. Don't be a sheep. Be a Lion. LEAD!
If you wish to break this stream of stupidity, this stream of follow, follow, follow- and talk like the sheep and ya da da- than listen up folks- because I have a little proposal to you that you just might want to consider. If you've read any of my past blogs you know the whole mantra of my blogs and the big grand "Ryusin Revolution" that I've been touting emphasizes all the good qualities like originality, leadership, and the ability to inspire, dream and all that good stuff (whatever lol) - Listen folks--> This is not my revolution. This is YOUR revolution. I'm simply just proposing an idea that you can consider. That WE band together and dare to challenge the mainstream on the blogger community with our thought-provoking, mind numbing blogs that have their own little writing style, their own little voice.
I don't know if YOU (and the Blogger community) will choose me as your leader for this idea and hell I don't even know if you like my idea- but I just don't understand how you couldn't. I mean, if your thinking to yourself how fed up you are with 'stupid' and 'text' speak has become the new 'cool' versus original thought and ideas- Well why don't ya join me! I mean, this isn't just limited to any particular age group. Through all sectors and generations- there could be a little more critical thinking that certainly should be awakened within all of us. Remember were the country that elected George W. Bush TWICE into office. I mean, if you need living proof that WE all could use a little Ryusin 'awaken your mind and be original' therapy session - look NOT ONLY to that but also to the mindless drones out there who follow the drunken, big shot celebrities out there. I'm talking to you Paris Hilton!
Let's say GOODBYE to today and HELLO to tomorrow. All ideas and inventions began as 'crazy' thoughts in one man's mind. If you were to tell folks in the 1700's that one day there would be this invention where this wiry thing would be inside this glass thing and produce light and whatever I'm sure you'd get a laugh or two. It's often the crazy ones that change the world. I'm not about inspiring a whole generation to be a bunch of loons, but rather inspiring a whole generation to be a bunch of intellectual gals and guys that can actually use their noggins and THINK for themselves.
So simple, yet it just might be the most brilliant proposal that one guy could wish for. It begins with YOU and it will end with some guy or girl on the other side of the world. Revolution's don't come easy - One's man's wish for a revolution won't always come to be but his ability to dream and dare to accomplish the impossible is part of the human soul to which no stranger can crush. You can mock me, you can laugh at me, but you'll never break my dreams. You'll never break my ability to lead my own life and be whatever I wish to be!
Well enough mush talk. I think ya get my point already. Let's get up off our asses! Wait! Scratch that! Stay on your ass. All you need to do is make a blog (or make an account on blogger) and comment and/or produce a response blog regarding your thoughts on this matter. Your thoughts matter to me, I might learn something from you.
So I look forward to reading whatever you might have to say. Thanks for reading guys. Stay classy and remember Viva La Revolution

Well I rather be viewed as the lamest ass guy on the block than ever speak like that. Don't do anything to impress. Strive for yourself and your own goals and desires. Don't be a sheep. Be a Lion. LEAD!
If you wish to break this stream of stupidity, this stream of follow, follow, follow- and talk like the sheep and ya da da- than listen up folks- because I have a little proposal to you that you just might want to consider. If you've read any of my past blogs you know the whole mantra of my blogs and the big grand "Ryusin Revolution" that I've been touting emphasizes all the good qualities like originality, leadership, and the ability to inspire, dream and all that good stuff (whatever lol) - Listen folks--> This is not my revolution. This is YOUR revolution. I'm simply just proposing an idea that you can consider. That WE band together and dare to challenge the mainstream on the blogger community with our thought-provoking, mind numbing blogs that have their own little writing style, their own little voice.
I don't know if YOU (and the Blogger community) will choose me as your leader for this idea and hell I don't even know if you like my idea- but I just don't understand how you couldn't. I mean, if your thinking to yourself how fed up you are with 'stupid' and 'text' speak has become the new 'cool' versus original thought and ideas- Well why don't ya join me! I mean, this isn't just limited to any particular age group. Through all sectors and generations- there could be a little more critical thinking that certainly should be awakened within all of us. Remember were the country that elected George W. Bush TWICE into office. I mean, if you need living proof that WE all could use a little Ryusin 'awaken your mind and be original' therapy session - look NOT ONLY to that but also to the mindless drones out there who follow the drunken, big shot celebrities out there. I'm talking to you Paris Hilton!
Let's say GOODBYE to today and HELLO to tomorrow. All ideas and inventions began as 'crazy' thoughts in one man's mind. If you were to tell folks in the 1700's that one day there would be this invention where this wiry thing would be inside this glass thing and produce light and whatever I'm sure you'd get a laugh or two. It's often the crazy ones that change the world. I'm not about inspiring a whole generation to be a bunch of loons, but rather inspiring a whole generation to be a bunch of intellectual gals and guys that can actually use their noggins and THINK for themselves.
So simple, yet it just might be the most brilliant proposal that one guy could wish for. It begins with YOU and it will end with some guy or girl on the other side of the world. Revolution's don't come easy - One's man's wish for a revolution won't always come to be but his ability to dream and dare to accomplish the impossible is part of the human soul to which no stranger can crush. You can mock me, you can laugh at me, but you'll never break my dreams. You'll never break my ability to lead my own life and be whatever I wish to be!
Well enough mush talk. I think ya get my point already. Let's get up off our asses! Wait! Scratch that! Stay on your ass. All you need to do is make a blog (or make an account on blogger) and comment and/or produce a response blog regarding your thoughts on this matter. Your thoughts matter to me, I might learn something from you.
So I look forward to reading whatever you might have to say. Thanks for reading guys. Stay classy and remember Viva La Revolution

Optimism
Let us thrust forward in the future with determination, confidence and the ability to lead and learn. The Ryusin Revolution has largely been a hope up until this point but now it’s time to lay down the cement and pave way into new frontiers to which the likes you’ve never seen before. This revolution is simple yet extraordinary in promise - To deliver a life-learning life-touching piece of writing from various spectrum's from my little philosophical lessons that I ever so often go into like some giddy school child (ha) to some short (fantasy) stories which I plan to go into to perhaps really get you thinking about yourself and the world around you. The Ryusin Revolution is like a revolution in the way you think My goal is to broaden your mind to new ideas, new ways of thinking and I believe I have the ability to do something of the nature by constantly making new blogs that kinda make ya wonder “ya know, you got something there. Maybe I should apply that in my own life” and it’s a learning experience for myself in YOUR FEEDBACK. Why, with your feedback I can learn, you can gain an interesting perspective from me at the least. Maybe your already rather experienced with the game of life and with all due respect- That’s great. But you can gain one thing from me and there’s surely one very important thing that can be gained from you- and that’s your perspective.
You have a say in what you believe, what you feel, what you know to be crucial to all of mankind and my blog is your opportunity to really dump those feelings on the rest of the world (and most importantly the blogger community) so that we can see who you are and smile cause your remaining true to yourself and that’s what WE love in the Ryusion Revolution. So yeah, that’s rather deep. But that’s just what I wanted to put out there. Ya know, I’ll be rather honest here: I’ve never actually lead a revolution before let alone been the leader of virtually anything. But there’s a first for everything I suppose, and there’s no guarantee this grand dream of mine will actually go anywhere and I’m fully aware of that. Maybe I’ll never become a well-known blogger, maybe my blogs won’t stagger any minds but just the fact that I BELIEVED in myself and made an effort will be enough to satisfy my insides and say to myself “I gave it my all, it wasn’t what ‘they’ the public wanted, but just because it wasn’t popular doesn’t mean it wasn’t good.”
So there you have it- a bit of a lot to wrap your head around if your not used to thinking in a philosophical matter but nether the less it’s time for me to continue my blog and do what I do best… write! So, I just woke about less than half an hour ago. It’s June 22, 2010. It’s hot as hell in Florida now. The Oil Spill from BP is still out there, as we speak, people are loosing there way of lives and their businesses through this catastrophe. Not to mention the economy is already in the ditch (most especially here in Florida where the employment rate is 12%) People as we speak are struggling to put food on the table. A baby is crying right now. Crimes being committed as we speak etc… Life is happening right NOW all around us. Birds are chirping. Kids are screaming and playing widly around hot summer yards. This is no revolution, this is no evolution, this is rather just life as it is… in the moment. So simple, yet so very mind boggling. How so you may ask? Consider the last time you opened your eyes to the world around you as it was for that moment without anything on your mind. We live in a world full of thoughts, full of worries full of ideas (like my idea of this whole “let’s start a online revolution” kinda thing) Well, even I make the dear mistake of not opening my eyes to the moment present to us in the time and place we are right now. You might be at home right now, maybe your at a coffee shop- maybe your actually at college or even at work reading this blog when your not really SUPPOSED to but keep reading cause the more readers the better of course. There might not be so much to see in the present moment in time your in right now but think again. There’s a LOT actually. Right now, I hear my dog sniffing around my house and why would this mean anything significant you may wonder- Well how about the fact that life is LIMITED. The moment of time your in is LIMITED. Things change unexpectedly. Ask the people and businesses who got effected by the BP oil spill. In a moment’s notice life CAN change DRASTICALLY for better or worse.
I was putting off writing new blogs for quite a few days being the slacker I am saying “Eh, I’ll do it tomorrow” and another day went by, and another…. And another. I then came to realization that “WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE” I mean, how can I preach through my blogs how precious life is, how ya gotta live it to all it’s worth and all that jazz when I’m not even living up to my own word. What I spoke before was fluff and I apologize because I couldn’t live up to my promise of delivering a new blog daily but something I believe HAS finally changed inside of me that will make me live up to my promise this time. Last night, I was doing a few things online and let’s say I came across a few things that made me realize that I need to WAKE UP. The time to slack off is … well I have ENOUGH time to do that. NOW is the time to really write from the bottom of my heart the perspective, the opinions and the stories that I think you NEED to hear.
It comes from a deep simple solid belief that one person can change the world. One person can make a difference. I don’t think it’s inaccurate at all to declare “I can change the world through posting a damn blog” I can. I will. You don’t have to believe you. You don’t have to. You don’t need to. But it will happen. And you might not SEE it happen. There’s a lot of ‘invisible readers’ in the woodwork you could say- Someone might be reading this blog as we speak who is feeling down and out like so many Americans are - but then they read this blog and they remind themselves of the kind of spirit and energy that leads every one of us to success and that of course is the spirit and energy of determination which has been with us since the very beginning of time. (Of course, a little delusional thinking never hurt, let's turn this wild fantasy into a sure reality! Or forever keep dreaming... Oh, look man- Don't say to me 'in your dreams dude' In your dreams fool. Yeah. Eat that. Eat it up. Those are your words! Actually there mine! Okay I really should just move on now- Ahem...)
Never forget to believe in that imagination of yours most importantly. It was Albert Einstein who told us that “Imagination is more important than intelligence.” When you think about it- All intelligence is BEAUTIFUL I mean there’s a lot of intelligence around the world- a LOTttttt of information to absorb yet somehow, someway we absorb a LOT of the sameee information. So perhaps intelligence alone is not enough to be President of the USA or to be the next Ghandi. Really, the ability to think critically - to challenge your own perspective, to challenge yourself in pretty much everyway possible is remarkable and most certainly an important aspect of leadership. As crazy as this might sound- a leader needs a pretty darn good imagination as well. Times change, and you need to be able to formulate ideas and whatnot beyond the mainstream if you want to stand any chance of being a leader of the 21st century (Unless of course you follow the money, which so many political men and women do and which I certainly don’t advocate.) I mean, you don’t need to be the NEXT ANYONE! I mean it’s great to have role models, to look to up to people- but you NEED a decent imagination if you want create yourself into your own person for a new generation. There are SO many celebrities in Hollywood whom I would consider “the next ‘someone’ I mean it’s GREAT - their famous, their rich, but to what definition are they really ‘rich’- I wouldn’t think that selling your soul off to some director equates to an awfully rich life. I mean despite the great monetary value you may be worth to some businessman is well… I just think that’s a ‘poor’ way to live life. You need to remain true to your guns, you need to remain true to your mind, your ideas, your way of thinking or your really never going to be fully happy inside.
Does “pure happiness” really exist sometimes I wonder and I don’t really know if it does or not. However, there are many ways to happiness and I hope you would agree with me that one way you wanna go on the right path is always being yourself through thick and thin and standing up for what you believe in against all the odds that may be stacked against you. You can make mistakes, I’ve made mistakes. EVERYONE has made mistakes. Wasn’t eh… Edison or Einstein or someone who said something like “A man who’s never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
This is my goal for you and for myself on this sunny Tuesday. Try something new today. Not something ‘bad’ new - but something ‘good’ new. Maybe you might decide to write a story even though you hate writing stories. Maybe today you might decide to draw a picture even though you hate drawing- but ya never know- maybe what’s disliked today will be the mainstream of tomorrow. Life is funny like that, ya just never really know what’s around the corner- You can guess, speculate, use knowledge at hand to make a very decent educated guess but even YOU will never quite be able to paint a picture of it the way you wished too. Well, maybe it’s just time ya did a little something off the beaten path today- Maybe think of an invention you market to the world! I mean the sky’s the limit- You be and do whatever you want to. It’s all limited to how to how you limit yourself. So don’t limit yourself. Yet your mind run free for once- there was a time when I was younger that I would NEVERrrrrrrrrr write a blog like this - Ya know why? Because I would think to myself “Why would anyone my age want to read a blog like this with all the zany, crazy life outlooks, all this talk of life, determination etc…” but it wasn’t until really recently or more like even just yesterday that I realize I’m gonna do whatever the hell I want to because it’s coming out of my soul as we speak folks- the grammar surely needs to be proof read but that’s not what’s important now.
What’s important is just sharing to you everything that’s on my mind. I think that’s the real beauty of blogs. This is no script. This is purely thoughts floating off the top of my head and you can make of them and me however you want too. Hey, maybe your thinking preach on brother- Keep kicking ass and taking names and I wish you the same. It’s time to PUNCH, KICK, AND JUMP! Your alive baby, your alive and well. To hell with the mainstream - Show the world what your about. I can’t wait until you make a BANG. (and it’s NEVER to late to make a bang no matter how YOUNG or OLD you may be.)
PS, The song "She's a super freak! Super freak!" is totally awesome. Thank you NBC. And thank you folks for reading~ More to come!

Keeping your dreams alive
It seems to be something everyone aims for in life. To dream, to dare to reach heights that no one else thought possible. To change the world and all that jazz. However, let's be real here. Dreams are no easy feat to bring about into reality (especially if there some pretty large lofty fantasy dream of yours such as being a rock star or inventing the next great thing. In this blog I hope to discuss the prospect of dreaming big, what keeps a dream alive and how to bring it into reality (or at least try to)
When you dream, do you see yourself in a more grander position in life than your currently in? Do you see yourself happy and smiling? Do you get that feeling that it will fill that empty void that you feel within you? Yeah, I thought so. You don't need to read minds to know that's a pretty typical human desire and the emotions that are associated with dreaming are universal. It gives you that feel good, I feel on top of the world feeling no matter what it might be that you aspire to be in life. So without getting to lengthy on the whole theory of dreaming and such- Let's say your like "Dude, I like dreaming but the problem is... They never come true!" I'm not entirely sure if I can answer every question regarding how to bring dreams into reality in your life but I can certainly try.
Every dream needs to be taken one step at a time. Your not gonna get there overnight and no one said it was ever going to be easy. My dream is to become a well-known blogger on this site and no one is saying this dream of mine will ever come true because it might now- but at least I can say to myself "I tried" if I should ever give up on this journey I have embarked on this site. However, I don't intend to give up, no matter what! (Unless I'm injured, or school work gets in the way) That's the key to keeping dreams alive really. It's really just as simple as the mantra you've heard elsewhere "Never give up" The problem is well tied into what my last blog was titled "Commitment"
It's hard as hell to stay committed to one goal for so long before saying "Forget it" Rather keep your dream alive and if one way doesn't work try another! Remember Einstein told us "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." So find out what your good at, work at it, feed it, believe and you shall succeed.
That is today's little philosophical discussion. Now time to discuss my day and again, nothing to much out of the ordinary to report haha (but trust me, I'll probaly have more interesting things to discuss when my college fall term classes begin in late August.) I listened to a little music for about 1/2 an hour (105.9 The Buzz) and yeah... Music is a nice outlet to just relax and certain songs put ya in different moods so use caution I suppose haha. I also believe it's very important to keep up with current music, news and everything going on in the world. You need to stay up to date on the world around you in order to be in tune with the world around you. Failure to do so will make you.....really out of touch.
Recently I joined a PenPal site to gain a broader perspective on culture and I've actually even messaged quite a few people from within the U.S. Interesting site- and it's always fun to learn about the world around you.
On another note, it rained outside today so hey I have no jiff with that as long as I'm not outside in the rain it's actually kind of soothing on a Sunday anyway. Ironically today's SUNday wasn't awfully too sunny - it was more like Rainday here in my little old boring town. OH well... bring on the rain I guess.
I wonder if Family Guy's on tonight. Such a hilarious show- I'll have to see. In the meantime I think it'd be best if I wrap up this blog by now. Stay classy folks. Peanut Butter jelly time! lol (Family Guy reference)

Dedication, Commitment and Passion- 3 words that say it all.
Dedication and Commitment. Two strong words that are quite tough to live by. We say were gonna give it our full effort in a relationship, say were going to stay dedicated to our dreams and our goals no matter what- but life isn’t always picture perfect and well there are bumps along the way to say the least. My commitment I promise to you is to make a new blog every day and the only way that will ever happen is if I’m dedicated to what I do. Passion is of the essence here- You have to be passionate about what you do in order to make a solid commitment.
Without boring you too much about all this jazz let’s get to what I want to do and what part you play in my dream. My dream like I said in my last goal is to create a revolution. Revolutions always have begun as an idea in one man’s mind and their not an easy feat however- I’d like you to try to see the world through my eyes. I mean that’s what my blogs are really all about. Sure their random as hell, but the world is a hell of a random place if you’d open your eyes a little and look at everything going around you for the moment. Tune into your surroundings and you’ll see people of all races, genders, heights, personalities, I mean the list goes on and on and this leads me to my whole “let’s begin a revolution” mumbo jumbo. I believe my writing is something worth taking a look at. I mean that’s what you need to start a freaking revolution right? You need a little confidence, you need a vision and you most certainly need to have the ability to hold your readers short-attention span which I might be failing with at this moment (Live and learn I suppose… yeah.)
Anyways I guess I failed to get my point across in that long paragraph (damn.) - I wanna make a connection with you. I want you to relate to my blogs in some shape and form and say “Wow I’ve been there before” “wow I’ve felt like that before” “wow I’ve never look at things that way before” I want to challenge your train of thought, challenge the way you view the world, and this will all lead to you challenging the world and people around you. It might sound crazy to say one person can change your way of thought, but it’s certainly plausible. Writing can be a very inspiring, thought-provoking art form if the right ‘artist’ is in the driver’s seat. So I’ll be myself in this journey on blogger- weird, weirder and weirderer..er…est… I’m different make no mistake. Were all different but WE all have some beautiful to share with the world - Maybe you should take the time to leave a comment - tell me how your day was, how your feeling at the moment, if you agree/disagree with my thoughts etc… I enjoy criticism and I enjoy questions. There’s nothing wrong with a little constructive criticism that says “Ya know, I understand where your coming from but you got it a bit wrong” because afterall- Were all human and were free to debate with one another whether it’s a debate over whether lefties are more intelligent than righties or whether or not that BP CEO needs to have his ass kicked (Oh yeah, I think were all in on that one. Let’s kick some ass.)
Anyways enough philosophical mumbo jumbo. I enjoy philosophy-like talks as you can see. You haven’t seen the last of this. Anyways nothing too special to report in my life in the past few days. A lamp in my room burn out as in like… it BURNT… and some smoke came out of it. Scary stuff, I think the lamp broke and it might just be because I was cleaning it earlier with some glass cleaner and got to close to where the bulb is and stuff. So anyways, I went to Walmart yesterday in my new town I live in and happened to notice - Damnnn there’s a lot more young people here than the town I lived in before (which was composed of mainly old people… no joke.) Anyways, I guess it was kinda cool just to see some people my own age around the store as I was looking around. I even saw some pretty girls *_* lol. Hey, shopping around Walmart in this town is a lot more fun, oh the people you’ll see…. But anyways. Yeah. That’s just about all I got to say- Nothing to special to note other than that…
Well actually I do have something to say although I suppose it’s nothing to special- Sometimes when your bored per say and you have nothing to much on your mind- You kinda notice things (at least if your like me) that an average eye wouldn’t notice. I can’t help but look around Walmart and think to myself that in general our western society revolves around consumer goods. From the electronics section with the plasma TV’s to all the fancy pictures, to uhh even clocks! Life seems to revolve somewhat around having all the coolest, modern things and it gets me thinking- WHY? It seems like so many of us spend money just to please others or really just to show off. I mean we do it unconsciously whether we realize it or not and to certain degrees… Like if you ever bought cool clothes just to look uhh… cool and feel a little more confident than you have fallen victim to what I call “Consumer Good addiction” I guess that’s a good word for it, eh I can’t think of any better word. Has the world become so complex that were enveloped into a world full of these “awesome, cool things” that we fail to appreciate the simple things in life? Like take for example nature! Bring up the word nature and some people will be like Oh I’m watching a movie tonight, or I’m to busy online maybe another day… Well, maybe if we just took a little time away from all these artificial manmade goods that surround us left and right, we would open our horizons to what life is… Who we are… Why were here… broad questions- yet important ones to consider.
What does your existence mean to you exactly? What do you want to do with your life? Why? What made you who you are today? Also- Another very important question to consider “In all honesty, do you enjoy your life as it is now and if not, is there anything you can do to be where you want to be in life?” Well, maybe were already happy now even if we don’t think we are- Maybe we just take too many things for granted and maybe if we just opened our eyes a little we would see there’s a lot we should be happy about. I don’t know if this is ever so true really- I mean sure we do have a lot more to be happy about than people in a 3rd world country who fight for their lives everyday searching for food to eat and what not. However so- I think your problems shouldn’t be shared with you alone. What’s the URL of my blog guys? It’s http://welcometoryusin.blogspot.com and well… notice the “Welcome” part. Your welcome to come here - vent how your feeling and maybe your feelings will inspire me to write a blog just for you. I mean you deserve it. No voice shall be left unheard, no voice is to little nor uhh… whatever in my blog haha.
Just when you thought I didn’t have much in my life going on to blog about- I end up with this. Purely writing off the top of my head. I really haven’t paused much at all since I began typing this. I guess I’m full of stuff to say today! Well anyways- the mind seems to be running dry now so I think I’ll conclude my blog about now. Good luck folks, stay classy and come back now ya hear?! (Okay so maybe ripping off trademark conclusions isn’t exactly original)
So here I go. BYE-GOOD FOLKS! SKLOF! (Folks spelled backwards.) ……… Okay bye now =) Have a good weekend.

Without boring you too much about all this jazz let’s get to what I want to do and what part you play in my dream. My dream like I said in my last goal is to create a revolution. Revolutions always have begun as an idea in one man’s mind and their not an easy feat however- I’d like you to try to see the world through my eyes. I mean that’s what my blogs are really all about. Sure their random as hell, but the world is a hell of a random place if you’d open your eyes a little and look at everything going around you for the moment. Tune into your surroundings and you’ll see people of all races, genders, heights, personalities, I mean the list goes on and on and this leads me to my whole “let’s begin a revolution” mumbo jumbo. I believe my writing is something worth taking a look at. I mean that’s what you need to start a freaking revolution right? You need a little confidence, you need a vision and you most certainly need to have the ability to hold your readers short-attention span which I might be failing with at this moment (Live and learn I suppose… yeah.)

Welcome Peeps
Hey everyone. Name's well... that's private info for now! Just know I'm a 19 year old college student who has a passion for writing and will kick ass and take names on... you guessed it... on no other site but blogger.com! Okay, I am not a spokesman nor do I wish to be one so I should move on before I make an ass of myself.
I'm here to not only write but maybe somehow make an inner connection within your soul. My blogs may bore you, entertain you, inspire you, or perhaps all of the above. I'm here just to express what's on my mind and really write just about anything. I'm not a man of scripts - I'm a man of kick assity and take names ohhhh ok. So maybe I'm not all that special... but I doubt you are either. Were all equals on a human level - we all deserve the upmost respest so as a little golden rule for all future blogs... no harrassing people!
Now anyways let me talk about uhh myself! Wow uhh... well right now I'm kinda happy and bummed at the same time. There's this fly that's buzzing around my room so that's got me kinda annoyed... the fact that I'm typing this on dial-up internet certainly sucks. But hey... it sucks downgrading from DSL to dial-up (as there are no affortable High Speed internet choices in my new home that I am aware of) Can you believe there's no DSL where I live? THIS SHOULDNT EVEN BE LEGAL! I sternly believe every citizen of this grand country we call America should have access to AFFORTABLE HIGH SPEED internet. There's just simply no excuse- Internet does a lot more good than bad... I mean sure you can get addicted like myself but all the knowledge you obtain, all the information at your fingertips and the change to meet so many people from all over the country and around the world is just not the same at your local libary. There's nothing like sitting in your boxers at midnight chatting with a penpal in the UK while watching Jimmy Fallon on NBC. I mean that's just life at it's highest ^_^ (for me at least sigh... sigh...)
Ya know... it's our dreams for a lot of us that keep us going in life. It's easy to drop down, give up, and simply watch the world around you progress while you essentially rot. It's harsh to put it that way, but I think we' ve all been there at least once in our lives (maybe your there right now)- I just wanna let you know that your not alone. Our moments of dispair don't have to be shared alone and they won't be. With my blog and my ability to construct a sentence that means something (did that sentence actually mean something?!? No.) but you get my point guys. I'm in this journey of life with YOU, not without you... You might be a stranger to me, but doors can be opened when you just believe in someone who is trying to make a change, trying to create a revolution and although it might sound widly insane and extremely far-fetched at this point in time... by the end of the summer I have some very, very lofty goals that intend to reach by the end of August. Those goals are 1) Create a following who believes in what I have to say actually means something to them! (GASP) 2) Inspire You. 3)Meet some awesome bloggers (maybe even become friends), 4) YOUR gasp!
Yep. Your gasp. Maybe I'll create a bang so big you'll be like GASP and I was there from the start. I don't know exactly what kinda revolution this will be btw......... but it'll be a good one! I'll work on that.... but in the meantime stay strong and believe in me (ya gotta believe!) I got something BIG up my sleeve I tell ya! SOMETHING BIG.
