| "What
you think is what you vibrate, and what you vibrate is what you
attract, so ensure that you are vibrating only the things that you wish
to experience in your physical reality."

| I
find myself in college pursuing a degree in art. Maybe Graphic
Design. I am forced to reconcile the freedoms of art with the
pressures of financial stability.
That's the American Dream: to make your life into something you can sell.

| Let's start with a plot spoiler.
The meaning of life. A unified field theory. The big reason why.
Lets get this big, big surprise over and done with.
The earth is just a big machine. A big processing plant. A factory. That's your answer. The big truth.
Think of a rock polisher, one of those drums, goes round and round,
rolls twenty-four/seven, full of water and rocks and gravel. Grinding
it all up. Round and round. Polishing those ugly rocks into gemstones.
That's the earth. Why it goes around. We're the rocks. And what happens
to us -- the drama and pain and joy and war and sickness and victory
and abuse -- why, that's just the water and sand to erode us. Grind us
down. To polish us up, nice and bright.
Smooth as glass. Buffed by pain. Polished and shining.
That's why we love conflict. We love to hate. To stop a war, we declare
war on it. We must wipe out poverty. We must fight hunger. We campaign
and challenge and defeat and destroy.
As human beings, our first commandment is:
Something needs to happen.
Any call for world peace is a lie. A pretty, pretty lie. Just another excuse to fight.
No, we love war.
War. Starvation. Plague. They fast-track us to enlightenment.
It's the mark of a very, very young soul to try and fix the world. To try and save anyone from their ration of misery.

| Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'd turn away from me
He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
