"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."  (2 Cor. 4:18).
Reality oftentimes eludes us.We assume that reality is what we can see, feel, taste and control; our senses, that is measurable and malleable to our comfort and needs. But reality is acknowledging that in spite of all we know (and we do know bunch more than, say, just fifty years ago) we're no nearer to the happiness and fulfilment we desire. The world we've created because of our liberty to explore has not bought us peace and contentment; the more we have, the more we want to have. Maybe, just, maybe, reality goes beyond the senses, into realms of the Eternal

At times like this when Washington is held hostage by partisanship and gross immaturity,
the statue of Lincoln seats in stark contrast of what we used to be:
O for  a leadership that is as selfless, O for one that's unshakled in creativity,
that may rally the better angels of ourselves, and have more of 'us' and less of 'me'.

Take a closer look at this picture, can you tell what Michael Jackson was doing? It look to me that he was unto one of his subliminal moves. Someone looked at the same picture just now and swore he was shying away from a snap shot and not a dance at all.We both couldn't come to an agreement, no matter how hard we looked. Aside from his incredible talent as an artist and singer, everything else about Michael was controversy. In the same way this beautiful picture of him on Time Magazine cover evokes divergent conclusion. 'Jackson had lived as a man frozen in puberty — his voice a weird falsetto, his hand continually grabbing his crotch, his clothes sometimes stitched with faux military regalia of the sort that should interest only a boy. For a while, a constant companion was a chimp called Bubbles. When he died, Jackson was heavily in debt, a man beset by financial and legal predicaments caused largely by his inability to control his enthusiasms for expensive baubles and inviting little boys to his bedroom'    Cloud, John.  "With a Dramatic Pause, the World Mourned the Death of a Brilliant but Troubling Idol."

FREEWRITING

Phew! Been staring at this screen for upwards of ten minutes now, was supposed to come up with an idea in five minute. Well, I guess it's one of those moments when writing becomes a drag.
Talking about idea for the next major assignment, I watching the news the other day and heard arguments about why the Congress should not raise the debt ceiling. As usual, the Rhetoric was coated in the patriotic rambling of defending liberty and limiting government intrusion into our personal life. And I just wonder, how do politicians convince the middle class to vote against their self interest? It's like telling a man to go to hell in such a way that he sells all he has in preparation for it. I think it will make for an interesting piece.

Next Big Paper

• Start Early!!!
• Source for Idea (More Library, less Wikipedia)
• If you get stuck, don't be afraid to ask for help
• Search for similar writeups for a roadmap
• You can't write without writing:sit down and WRITE. NOW!

What Sucks

• The GOP sucks. The party supports limited government and fiscal responsibility only when not in power.

• The President does not suck.He's been dealt a hard hand by the circumstance of his presidency, he has to deal with enormous economic and global issues.For all our sakes, I hope he succeeds.

• Harry Porter gets the thumbs up for being entertaining, both the book and movie has sustained the interest of fans all over the world since 1995, with a nice turn over too.

• Apple (delicious) computers, definitely doesn't suck. They've got the coolest phone, coolest tablet, coolest pc. The company is in tune with the needs of their customers, even those things we don't know we need until Mr Jobs launches it.

• I'm a believer in the good guys winning, the underdog succeeding (even if they started their training late under Master Yoda). Star Wars definitely does not suck.

• Facebook sucks your time away. It's the ultimate time waster.

• McDonalds sucks.That's it.

• Go Clemson. Go Tigers.

• Lady Gaga. Neutral

• Talented young singer, Justin Bieber does not suck.

• Sudoku only sucks when I can't figure it out.

• Avatar does not suck, great movie, great box office returns.

• Xbox 360 sucks. Leading cause of couch potato syndrome.To avoid getting the ailment, avoid the box or try Wii.

• American Idol used to not suck, but now has the stench of an overripe tomato.

• Glee. Umm... dunno.

• Cigarettes sucks the life out of you. Contributes to sucking the life out of casual bystanders unfortunate to inhale the byproducts of the disgusting stick.

• Guns. Sucks. NRA has taken gun rights to a level that defy reasoning. Yes to individual rights to bear arm, but we need checks and balances to ensure gun is not freely available to the lunatics among us

• Abortion! Sensitive, Sensitive, Sensitive. but since this is my blog. It sucks.

• Dressed up dog. Wish it could say, how grateful it feels to its owners for the attire. Cool.

Writing, like poetry, sometimes comes to me naturally: a breath of inspiration aligns my writing chromosomes in the Shakespearean turn and you'd think, 'there goes a prolific writer'. I have heard a good number of really smart people say that to me, and they meant that as a compliment. Ah, don't be fooled! I can't stop what they think of me, but I think I know enough of me to understand what I'm not and a writer I am so not (pardon my French).
There are other times that the ink of inspiration dries up and I am left a wondering if someone else wrote those moving scripts in my name. Writing, at such time as these, becomes a grueling ordeal, a task mocking me. I sit at the keyboard and type and then delete...I type some more and delete yet some more. Nothing seems to make sense. What makes sense then is the disconnect between my fried brain and my aching fingers. Maybe I should take Mr B's counsel and go watch a movie and I mean right now because my project, due on Friday, is ...well, you know what I'm talking about.

I pledge to hold myself to the highest intellectual ideals, and pursue my goal for this and every course of study with honor and integrity. My faith teaches me that, while I am reponsible to my lecturer for this course, I am ultimately accountable to God.

Crocodiles

Crocodiles are the majestic king of the Nile, ruler of the saltwater and emperor of the Kalahari shallow rivers. A  study in resilience, they appear more than 65 million years ago and have outlived the dinosaur. The largest reptile in the world is also an incredibly patient animal that would lay underwater waiting for its prey to come, as they surely would. When the croc, as it is fondly called, strikes however, it is as swift as lightening and as precise as a Swiss watch. Yet it  is never in a hurry with its meal, the carcass is safely tucked under water to rot for a few days. Then the croc feast at leisure, taking its time to savour every bite.

Have you ever seen Steve Irvin’s rerun on animal planet? He makes catching a crocodile look like a child’s play. This massive predator is also fundamentally flawed, if you know and can think fast enough. As powerful as the jaw of a croc is, it has no strength unless it is opened; adhesive tape will keep it from opening and render  the flapping tail immobile. Also if the prey can find a way to poke the croc’s eye during an attack it is almost certain to escape. This is because the eyes, located on the top of the croc’s head, have a yet-to-be-explored link with the jaw. Unlike other predator that does actual hunting, the lazy croc prefers a delivered dinner.

Coca Cola and the future of the world Advert.

I remember it like it was yesterday, I was a high school senior getting ready for my finals. I was going to get into college, get a degree and the then begin the real life. It was a dream I shared with my classmates and friend and this commercial captured that dream like nothing else could. "I am the future of the world, I am the hope of my nation. I am tomorrows people. I am the new inspiration." Mere words? I don't think so. Maybe we were naive and overoptimistic. This ad sealed my choice in the cola-war, as it did with my impressionable mates. It became a clarion call, a dream to fulfil. It matters little if the world didn't turn out the way I'd expected; corporate greed and the warship of self may have replaced a genuine care for our fellow men. But this song, nay, this call resounds to me just like it did the first time, 'we'll build another world for you'.

Hi everyone. I am a transfer Pre-Pharmacy major and this will be my first online class. This is relatively new to me. When I was growing up, I disliked my dad keeping the T.V tuned to the news channel instead of something fun for us kids to watch. Well, I can’t seem to get enough of news coverage now. But unlike in my father’s days, I don’t depend on the T.V as my news source. I thoroughly enjoy reading news; I would go from Washington Post to New York Times, from Politico to the Economist, and from mainstream media (MSM) to the world of web bloggers.

Political news is my main staple, but that gets complicated pretty quickly. It’s a shame the MSM has lost almost all objectivity when reporting politics especially. It’s either you’re a left-leaning media (these are by far the most common of the print and television stations) or you’re right leaning coverage (dominantly the radio stations and, of course, fox news). It’s amusing when the reporters and presenters take it upon themselves to tell their viewers what to think. I used to get mad anytime I sense they’ve crossed the line of objectivity, but it has happened so often that it’s become a joke to me.

Sadly however, a significant proportion of the populace takes their news without a grain of salt. I have had the misfortune of listening to some folks argue like they’re reading out of a political talking points. It ceases to be amusing when we can’t have an adult conversation about the policies and decisions that are shaping our lives as a country. The essence of any democracy is a robust debate about ideals, philosophies and policy. It’s a monumental disservice therefore that the media, which should be the vanguard of these sacred rights, are the very ones desecrating its altar.

Urrmm… what were we supposed to write about? I hope I haven’t bored y’all. On a lighter note I love pro-football, I tolerate basketball and I think soccer deserves a lager following than it currently has.
