A quick write
"Knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions. Everyone lives within their own subjective interpretation..." ----Itachi---
I love this quote! I also love the fact that as true as the quote may sound to most, they probably would never know off the top of their head who Itachi is. Knowing information that others do not, is in some ways satisfying. Well okay to begin I would like to say that I read Ms. Shaffer's post on what I believe was focused on how we perceive "reality". While reading the post I was very suprised and interested (Something that I have been told is rare for me), and I marveled at the words as I read them to myself. I thought in amazement "This is what I have been exclaiming to people all these years!" The fact that the history we know of and accept is only accepted because, well, we accepted it. Depending on who gives the information, and how the majority of the public perceives it depends on what is, and what isn't. Whatever the public or readers believe becomes law. For instance there has been news circulating around that people in Haiti are barricading the streets with dead bodies...ummm excuse me? WTF? Why would people in need, do that? Well come to find out that there were some photoshopped pictures and this story was entirely untrue. However, imagine all the people that believe that and spread that horrible lie around?
Wow look at the time... Well before I head to my history class( how ironic) I also must mention how Africans and Indians and other third world countries are potrayed and viewed, because of those early morning infomercials about starving children. This is of course true, but many people perceive there reality of Africa or other places from those infomercials alone. So instead of thinking of the countries of Africa or wherever as countries in need of help as a whole, we have people that adopt children out of pity( not understanding that what that country needs is help within)and take away the children and the future... There is more to come, but right now I have to head to class.

ようこそ私の考えに (Welcome to my thoughts)
The fact that I have not written anything for school or recreationally since I wrote my first blog is odd. I have never believed in writers block, always believing that it's always laziness that disables a writer to write. If you understand at all how the human mind works, you can understand that you write within your mind on a 24/7 basis. So its not that you have a lack of words, but that you have a lack of drive to write your thoughts down. Sigh...what is my reason for lack of drive? I have been asking myself that question for quite some time now. I think its the fact that I have nothing incredibly important on my mind. I have never been a diary/journal type person... I have always felt that diaries/journals were written with the purpose to be read, and my daily life is quite uneventful and probably not fit for the pages of a book. I feel I would cheat who ever did read it, and thus waste their time. And time my friends (along with water and food) is a necessity that cannot stand to be wasted. However, if someone does read (this post in particular) and doesn't mind using a few moments to journey through my cluttered mind they would understand that what I have written in this post is a... how can i put this? A warm-up.
This is what I have to do in order to find my motivation and drive to write more and to share my thoughts; I have to clear away the nonsense. Let me see, how can I explain it metaphorically? ...Imagine a room in your home that you tend to avoid, because there are clothes thrown everywhere, furniture in disarray and for some people, that one friend that tends to live on the couch from time to time. When your parents come over or you have an important date that may want to spend "time" in that room (which more than likely is your bedroom or living room), I, like most people do one thing. You promptly grab clothes and whatever else is easily picked up and throw it in the closest. Furniture is put in order. Magazines and tabloids are covered up by more intelligent reading material. Oh and of course you ask your sleeping friend to gather his laptop and his poptart wrappers and move them (and himself) to a less noticeable place. This is all done in a span of 30 minutes, sometimes more or less. The parents are impressed, the date is satisfied, and you (yes you) feel accomplished and for the next few months your 30 minute quick clean stays clean. So for myself...by writing theses seemingly random "shorts" as I call them, I push away the mental clothes and junk, and clear a space for my more profound writing. So hopefully my parents/date (peers and new friends) can find my writing enjoyable now that the motivation is in view and the "other stuff" is tucked away. ようこそ私の考えに (Welcome to my thoughts) :Nile Najee:
