  •        Man last two weeks have been stressful as fuck I need to relax and shit this isn't doing me any good.Man I really want to go to that All That Remains show, but I'm broke once again , I'll have to think of something. Besides that I think I've completely ruled out getting a job right now while I'm still in school it would be way to much of a burden, and I don't really have great necessity for money right now anyways. I think that's one of my problems right now I want what I don't need and I must eliminate that desire.

    Can any one tell me why people are using ™ ?

                                I've been trying to get important stuff out of the way, because it seems that's what really impairs my ability to enjoy these days. Fuck I think I'm going to delve into Stoicism ,  "Freedom is secured not by the fulfilling of one's desires, but by the removal of desire." - Epictetus. I never realized we have the ability to get rid of pain, and that we are slaves to emotions and such. We only know about feelings such as despair, pain, and depression because we are taught to feel them in certain situations. What if we were never meant to be taught? "The mind in itself wants nothing, unless it creates a want for itself; therefore it is both free from perturbation and unimpeded, if it does not perturb and impede itself."- Marcus Aurelius. "Get rid of the judgment ... get rid of the 'I am hurt,' you are rid of the hurt itself."-Marcus Aurelius.

    We think we have freedom yet we are slaves unto ourselves.

    "No man is free who is not master of himself." - Epictetus

                    New year.. fresh start. So let's see New Year's was.. it was both interesting and funny spent it at the burbs with family.That day I stayed up till 6 in the morning, went to sleep and woke up like 5 hours later. Hopefully this year turns out not better than '06 just more productive. I mean it wasn't complete shit/waste there's alot I learned from the mistakes and regrets. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see what 2007 has in store.

     

    P.S. In a few days it'll be the "trolley's" birthday...  six days to be exact

    haha.
