See You In September

Yeah, yeah, yeah...You know where I'm going with this don't ya? Or maybe you don't?
Somewhere in the neighborhood of TEN weeks ago, most Americans decide they are going to let it all hang out, try out something new, travel somewhere, do something adventurous... live life to the fullest...



Well I applaud YOU!
After all, isn't the whole purpose of this existence to get rich or die trying?
Of course, then you would need a closer examination of the word "rich"...and just what constitutes "riches" in life...more on that on the next blog :P

As is customary in any good rant, or rave, digression is necessary...but again I digress...ok...


WAKE UP AMERICA!!

These ten glorious weeks of Summer have made me remember what I love about life and more specifically what I love about this country and I refuse to allow myself to get swept in to this cesspool of deceit and tomfoolery which passes, all too freely, through the veins of this country like the ketamine and crystal meth in Amy Winehouse's body.

I know...it's terrifying...

Ok, so what is this all about?
The summer is a time when most people feel a sense of renewal and freshness. The feeling it conjures up and the vibrations through the air are unmatched, but I guess what I am asking is that, couldn't this be something we strive for all the time? Almost as if to bottle it up and sell it to society one bottle a time like a coors light or a coke.
I know its unreasonable to think that any moment, or any feeling, could last forever, because they, like all things in life are fleeting too. But what causes us to do things in the summer, that we wouldn't ordinarily do? Is it the temperature outside, or the vacation time most people have? Is it the convertible in the garage or is it something more?

What "IT" is, is the soul.

Whether you believe in having one or not is for a different time and place, but if you don't believe, then lets just play pretend, mmmkkay? SUPER!

The soul needs to breathe every once in awhile and when you suppress the appetites and desire that are so vital to your souls respiratory system, you run the risk of having an unhealthy soul.
Here is a prime candidate for healthy soul-->


Now take that and put it next to that Amy Winehouse clip, who lets not forget, CAN REALLY SING, when she wasn't high off her ass and on the brink of total self destruction.

The healthy soul vs. the unhealthy soul.

I use these clips not to glorify Marvin Gaye or to belittle Amy Winehouse, but instead to try and shed some light on an important belief of mine.

Every summer Americans explore their souls, and every September we start to explore less and less until the next summer comes and we do it all over again. Why not explore your soul everyday? I know it's not as simple as just saying it, nothing is, but simply recognizing it once a day goes a long way.

It is the exploration of your soul which is where the true riches in life come from. When you are true to your soul and thus true to yourself, the things in your life you have always wanted, happiness, love, friendships, etc.. begin to reveal themselves to you.

When you suppress the soul and its appetites you end up with a homogenized society of walking zombies, who trudge through life destroying themselves, their home, and the people around them. Unfortunately, I feel Americans want to be soul "searchers" but end up being more like soul "squeezers" in the long run!



The time is now America. I beg all of you to take a close look at your soul today. Talk to it, ask it questions. Make sure that its getting all the proper nutrients it needs to make it through the day.

And while I still got you here, please make sure you vote in the upcoming election...just don't vote for the other guy! :P
