Personally, in general i tend to favor my earlier poems more but hey, thats just me

"existence is just the blink of an eye, we are living in slow motion"
~I think this one's from me, i found it in my handwriting once on a scarp of paper but dont remember writing it, if its from somwhere let me know

One day all we know will be unknown ~me again

"If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on." - Terence McKenna

Sometimes i get the feeling, that i won't be on this planet, for very long
I rather like it here, i'm quite attached to it, I hope i'm wrong.
~Ben Folds Five

Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy.
~ Edgar Bergen

I wanna live beneath the earth, where I'd be free from push and shove, like all those swarming up above
~Phish

well, I've seen
some old friends sort of die
or just turn into whatever
must've been inside them
(and whatever all of us had then in common)
(grew up)
and left home
we don't think that way no more
turn around
turn the volume down
we're counting the days down
~Ben Folds

But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned
As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned
And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone
Can't this wait till im Old?
Can't I live while I'm young?
~Phish

Somewhere horses flee from thunder, somwhere the bones of a cat are burried under a garden, yeah, well theres a radio on, broken song, empty digretion it wont be long, wont be long till you and me are gone from here
~Dispatch

There is no need for us to say anything about others. There is no need for you or for me to regard other's actions in our thoughts one way or another. The worst thing we can do is to force people to agree with us. I mean that we shouldn't try to impose our will when people don't behave the way we want them to. The worst thing one can do is to confront human beings bluntly. A warrior proceeds strategically. If one wants to stop our fellow men one must always be outside the circle that presses them. That way one can always direct the pressure.What injures the spirit is having someone always on your back, beating you, telling you what to do and what not to do.
~From the Teachings of Don Juan

"In a sea full of eyes, there's one pair that I, recognize."
~Ben Folds

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is just enery condensed to slow vibrations, that we are all one conciousness experiencing itself subverebly, there's no such thing as death, life is only a dream in which we are the imaginations of ourselves.
~Tool

"Begin at the beginning," the King said, gravely, "and go on till you come to the end; then stop."
~Alice in Wonderland

"Alice the world is full of ugly things that you can't change, pretend it's not that way, that's my idea of faith."
~Ben Folds Five

"He was humming this hum to himself, and walking down gaily, wondering what everyone else was doing, and what it felt like, being someone else."
~Winnie the Pooh

It's not a want of drugs, it's a want of personal freedoms...keep that in mind at all times.
~Bill Hicks

Dude, I'm trippin... I feel different.
~Ali (this guy i know)




*In the first stage, man and sword become one and each other. Here, even a blade of grass can be used as a lethal weapon. In the next stage, the sword resides not in the hand but in the heart. Even without a weapon, the warrior can slay his enemy from a hundred paces. But the ultimate ideal is when the sword disappears altogether. The warrior embraces all around him. The desire to kill no longer exists. Only peace remains. *

Life is an increadible journey, it doesn't go on forever, but it is a good amount of time. The earth has only gone around the sun twenty times since i was born and i feel i've been around for awhile, at least as long as i can remember. i can't imagine how it will feel 20, 30, possibly 60 years from now. The world is full of mystery and no one really knows what's going on, even if they think they do. Everything is the same, energy at different speeds and arranged in different shapes and combinations. How can anyone belive he is better than anything? To judge any other human being unfairly is the worst crime one can commit. The world is made of cycles and everything is moving. Peace is a choice and it is a possibility. Always keep in mind: we are on a planet spinning around as it orbits a star 93,000,000 miles away. wow.
