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

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.

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.
