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!
