Habit Banks and Some other Useful Note Tangents

Habit banks! Once those synaptical indentations are made, it's very hard to undo them. But you don't need to undo them. Simply change their purpose. Its like building a house on land - you don't need to destroy the house once the initial owner is gone. That is, unless you want too. Know that it's going to take good effort to build another house. It can be certainly done, but think of the effort. If the effort is not a stopping factor for you, then you have a chance at success.

So to change your habits, change the labels they associate with. If you want to wake up earlier, for example, you would discover why. In this and every major discovery in your life, it is good to have an Internal frame of reference. Many people tend to have an External frame of reference, and this is why there is much discontent in their lives. What good is having the thoughts of another person to be used for the inside of you? It's like having a key to the wrong lock. You can damage the lock to fit the key, or simply find the key that fits. That key is with the locksmith inside of you, and nowhere else.

To run with the metaphor, ask yourself also this: Do you want this locksmith to make random keys out of boredom or confusion, or do you want a precious set of master keys? The latter is going to take diligence, and a keen understanding of what you want. Ask your locksmith. Ask your heart. Ask your mind. Ask your soul. Ask Jesus. Ask God. Ask. Ask within and know the answer is available. It is. But it takes effort to change your point of reference from outside to inside. Stay with it. Giving up is silly. Get yourself together and invest in your future. Make good records. Keep good records. Document key steps daily. Do these things, and your locksmith will know what rooms to make the master keys for. And then have those keys ready for you. These master keys open the doors to the most powerful rooms. So decide what these keys open.

Have a good one,

Finding the reason for Feh.

I'll be the first to admit I'm no professional at a lot of things. I've slid into being the jack of all trades for quite some time, and it's no good. It's like moldy steak - at some point it was wonderful, but now it's like dirty and stale. Moldy shit that sucks and sucking isn't good at all. Don't suck. Just actually be good at what you're doing.

The way not to suck is fairly simple: Believe that you don't. That's right. Despite whatever splatter you've had before, today can be the new start. But no one can hold that to you. You've got to stick that in your own face. I'll have a video or something about it soon. Don't worry about what happened before. Shit happens to everyone before.

So keep yourself occupied with your success. Don't let yourself fall into a trend of rushing from one thing to the next. That's no good, and it smells awfully gross. Does any of this make sense? No? Writing from the ass again? Possibly.

Don't worry, though.

Also, if you're learning something, you might as well get some good help.

Have a good one.

Wallow Not!

So it's come down to this. This instant wanting of things, this lack of motivation, and this confusion of direction and suspension of belief. But you want things to be fine all the same. You know they are, in a Zen sort of way. Perhaps a cuddly riddle. Welcome to 2008.

That's why it's time for Guy Mode. Guys need to know that when it comes to being a man, you have to navigate through a hardcore amount of that lamesauce neuterlife we call Political Correctness. Fuck that.

People who don't like opinion that stings are like the dogs who take white shits. Sick, unheavenly individuals devoid of the same souls all people share. Or just scared of something. So, for them, maybe 1% PC. Not much more. It's nothing to tell someone exactly how you feel if maybe there's a gate around it that stretches for a mile. But the 20cm gate won't cut it any longer.

Guy mode isn't about chauvinism. It's about definition. Be yourself first. Don't take shit. Be yourself. Be a guy. If you're a guy of course. But this blog isn't just for men. There are many sites like that. It's about being a certain kind of man. One who, at 22, is discovering himself and preparing to express his divinity. It's about having the skills to really make a strong difference in the world. And developing them.

And too, It's about funny ass stuff. Days will have it. This day happens not to have too much of it...a little more lax, etc.

Questions for that ass: Will you float above the masses? Will you flounder, wading in the overcrowd semi-puddle close to shore? Will you build a sick-ass yacht in the middle of the ocean and kick it for a while, until you get ready come hit shore? It's on you in 2008. And that's the good thing about it. It's on you. But you can't be wussyland anymore.

At least that's what goes through my head daily. Like I'm trying to grasp at something solid, still sloshing my hands through the liquid. It's a tricky divide, because I know I haven't had a day of hard work in a long time. I'm fairly detached from any type of labor like that. It simply doesn't appeal to me. Perhaps that's my problem.

Maybe I'm scared to take a good ass whipping. Maybe the world is stronger than I. Nah. I'd like to think I'm a powerdreamer, aiming mindlessly from this to that, pulling out all sorts of little-used tools. And I don't think I've found myself that awesome space I'm needing to find in 2008. You've got to carve a niche. So I'll tell you about my niche.

I have a niche in creative communication. I like to communicate those hard-to-pinpoint ideas, in animated form, music, whatever. I'd like to make a living from it. A compilation of practically flavoured art, stuff you can use and digest.

But this is post one. Let me get my feet wet...

Have a good one.
