The 8 Essential Books for A Life of Independence and Purpose
EVERY MOVE YOU MAKE is for the Purpose of Living a SUCCESSFUL LIFE. Successful life means a few things: Every day you love what you do, even though it's not always easy. Every day you make progress toward more of what you love to do. Every day this progress maintains you and those you care about. This maintenance fulfills your basic needs. Your basic needs are met and therefore you are equipped for life in a healthy way. Because you are well equipped, you're focused on having rich experiences rather than on survival. You are capable of showing others, by your example, that it's possible to live life that way.

Face the Challenge and Love the Game
This is my opinion. Face the challenge and love the game. Whether you are going to school and getting your education or you are taking experience from your job working enough hours to support yourself, there is always drama. There is always that one person who's a teacher, an assistant, or manager that drives you insane to an extent you lose confidence in yourself and your effort in work. However, as people, we must believe that we are better than what anybody thinks. Our work effort shines so brightly that the people who we are in conflict with just don't see. If we are known as these moving creatures trying to put an experience or a knowledge, living with it and aging with it, then there is always something that an individual is good at. For example, a student who has difficulties with math or science may be more creative with languages and arts. It could be vice versa, too; a student may have difficulties with arts and languages, yet succeeds in math or science. Yet what a lot of people don't know is that these subjects can relate to each other because it is about following basic concepts of knowledge. I don't understand how you can scold a person for their talents.

Your Heroes
It's said by someone I'm sure, you should never measure yourself to your heroes. A quote I came across earlier this week though said that "you shouldn't be trying to network up, you should be networking across". I don't particularly remember where I saw this quote, as I have a shitty memory, but I know it's been at the forefront of my mind. I also think the latter quote has been the cause for my personal introspection, and now I turn that outwards to you. The idea is explained that you shouldn't be trying to network with those who are already established, yet with your friends and neighbors who are establishing themselves. To this concept I say yes. That's why I work very closely with a network of like minded individuals and groups like Mehji Ent. I myself run a blogsite I just started up called The Renaissance Project. It's an art initiative I started to follow happenings if the underground art communities in Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania currently. I hope to cover more as I get the chance to travel and meet more artists. I have been inconsistent in my content upload though. Not because I don't have things to post. The Mehji's have almost ten tapes on Spinrilla alone. Most of which were uploaded in the last couple of months. It's because I have been doubting why I even do what I do. I look to others who are more established than myself and think that I am foolish to be doing it all. It makes it hard because there are peers I have, that are significantly more successful. And admittedly sometimes, I wish to reach out to them. Sometimes I feel guilty for even wanting to say hi. I don't want them to feel like I'm mooching off of their hardwork and successes, so I leave them be. Honestly though, I needed to. I needed to stop putting so much pressure on where I wanted to be as an artist and start focusing more on what I wanted to produce as an artist.

Meaning of Happiness
Happiness. The feeling that most people are hopeful to actually "feel" and experience. The feeling that is so difficult to describe. The feeling that I work hard towards achieving in my life and one that I wish to experience more of. I seem to be searching for that feeling lately, that experience, those moments that I can just sit in and soak in and hope that they never disintegrate. Happiness, is it a feeling? Or is it an experience? Or is it a place? Is it a state of mind? Or is it just one more thing that people search for and rarely find? Or is it something that a person finds but can't hold on to it for a prolonged period of time?

I Want to Change the World
May I start with a little story, something that just found its way into my head? Thank you... Imagine it; a vast barren land, the smog is so thick you can't see the stars or the horizon no matter where you are. The rich live in domes, a bubble of indulgence with an artificial, projected sky, with rich, delicious, genetically modified superfoods. They have every lavish thing you could ever ask for, they're happy, without a care in the world. Machines do everything for them. They're all identical and they live healthy for over 150 years. The poor live outside, breathing the floating dirt output by the domes. Their homes are built from of scrap and trash, which are no match for the dust storms, their meals are just slime made of old discarded superfood. Not a single thing grows out here, and there's nothing to hunt. Everyone looks different from those on the inside, they have different skin, different eyes, voices and minds. They fight for the survival of one another... In vain more often than not, you're lucky if you live to 45.
