Freedom

chasing the freedom.. day in and out i talk about how free I want to be.. how i want to be debt free, i want to have no commitments unless im free to commit to what i want.. but in all honesty, in the end, i want the kind of freedom David Foster Wallace talks about..

The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.

That is real freedom. That is being educated, and understanding how to think. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.


-David Foster Wallace

That above, is going to be a life code for me, freedom..

If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.

David Foster Wallace

There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys, how’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”

The point of the fish story is merely that the most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about. Stated as an English sentence, of course, this is just a banal platitude, but the fact is that in the day to day trenches of adult existence, banal platitudes can have a life or death importance, or so I wish to suggest to you on this dry and lovely morning.

—David Foster Wallace

bookmania: “Literature, real literature, must not be gulped down like some potion which may be good for the heart or good for the brain—the brain, that stomach of the soul. Literature must be taken and broken to bits, pulled apart, squashed—then its lovely reek will be smelt in the hollow of the palm, it will be munched and rolled upon the tongue with relish; then, and only then, its rare flavor will be appreciated at its true worth and the broken and crushed parts will again come together in your mind and disclose the beauty of a unity to which you have contributed something of your own blood.” ― Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Russian Literature

Anonymous asked: I know who your crush is....TEEHHEEE!!!!

crush? I don’t have a crush, most of the time it’s just a infatuation that is inspired by things with good smiles.. most of the girls I find attractive don’t get any of my jokes, references or even positions on matters and they could careless about if they did .. I’d much rather be with my self then be with someone who doesn’t get my “Po-tay-toes” jokes.. lol

Thank you.. appreciate you actually reading my ramblings Lol.. i read like self help, zen, lifestyle blogs all day.. haha.. 

Lately i’ve really taken this starting over thing seriously

I have to seriously start over, reset button, reflection is done, no need to reflect anymore.. really need to act.. and act quick before things worsen but be smart about things.. everything is buckle up now.. no wants, no needs, just have to do what I have to do.. it’s gonna suck and no one is going to hear from me in a long while.. if it’s something truly important i’ll be there but yeah.. time to grow up, stop chasing these things that make me want to be successful but instead chase the things that make me meaningful..

Be resilient

A man should be flexible and reliable at the same time. If necessary he can start all over again at any given moment. Whatever happens; his house was burnt down, his crop failed, he lost his job, his wife had a miscarriage: even if he has mourning to do he starts all over again. A real man accepts his fate but doesn’t become a victim of it.
