Vamos a Volar, Sin Las Mariposas para Observar. Y Desnudos nos Olvidamos Que Dios Es Un Gitano.

There is no such thing as the Orwellian “boot stomping on the human face forever…”, it is a nice image for those who are trying to sell rebellion,but it is far from the truth. The reality is that we are no longer being opressed by an iron hammer,at least not in the United States, no our iron hammer is an ipod weilded by Ronald McDonald. Many would counter with red faces and a shower of saliva”Would you rather live anywhere else!?” My answer is, no obviously not, but that does not make my statement hypocritical. One does not have to live in the perfect country, and one most definatly should not accept the flaws and leave them at a status quo just because pride and patriotism have been rammed up the ass since birth. Then of course you have “the rebels”, who frankly need to wake up and realize they too are products of a seperate label.

Where do I stand then? Nowhere I believe that, that is the best place to be,of course this is exclusive to my subjective experience. You could agree with the optimist,or side with the iron clad “anarchist”, to each his own. If you can give me a valid reason why you spend twenty-four hours of your day watching celebrities self destructive lives then more power to you. I see no pro to this, I see no pros to living the life of a multimillionare, sure it would be nice to have my own island, my own car for every day of the week, an unlimited amount of drugs and no worry about where touse them, but there is something essential that is missing, hmm, what could it be? I believe our generation is too wrapped up in the superficial,too dense to the unaccustomed, too pressed for time, yet too eager for success to get anywhere,to accomplish anything that will be notable to the history of the planet. How to change that? I say we shut-up, buy less crap, watch less crap, eat less crap, and start breaking down our ideas of religion, our ideas of politics, economics, family, friends, and of course ourselves. I say we shatter any convention we see as normal and start something new. Most importantly I say we use our minds, for a tool like that is a commodity only the living are privledged with.
