Remember, Remember the Fifth of November!

There is a little bit of 'Anti' in us all.

Paranoia. Feelings that we don't understand. A desire to put someone else's imposed will...to rest.

Sometimes. There are days when we all want to 'stick-it' to the authority. The depressing people who seek to mash our happiness and thoughts. Been there before?

You have to ask yourself, when you get to that point...Are they doing it for my own betterment? If not, then what you are?
What are you made of?
Do you lay down, and do as your told as those who tell you, do different?
Or, do you cite these irregularities and hypocrisies?

What do YOU do?

Its in these moments of confusion and self-tormenting when you tear at your corners and the veins in your eyes grow dry...your mind contemplates the effects of raising your voice...of becoming something more than your comfortable self.

Putting down the ones who oppress us is never easy. If you need a rallying point, use "V for Vendetta", the movie. If that does not do it for you, pack up your thoughts and opinions and...well...continue being the pavement people walk on.

As for me...and my friends. We will rise as one, fueled by what we know is right, and what we see as right. One must be careful in times of insurrection. Know your battles, the players, the opinions, and most importantly, know the facts.

"Never stop asking why, Sam", My teacher told me. Never stop asking why!

Look at cases around the world; Africa, Venezuela, Iran, China. Its everywhere.

Today is a tribute to insurrectionists all over the world. Happy Guy Fawkes Day everyone. Happy day to stick it to your boss, who runs the company as if it was his. Happy day to stick to your "so called friends" who just use you. Happy stick it to the ones who make your life, less fun to live.

Its when you quite your voice, that you loose the ability to maintain what you are, and become what you can. Don't limit yourself, and in the end, have a nice day!

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November!

Evey: Who are you?
V. : Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey: Well I can see that.
V. : Of course you can, I’m not questioning your powers of observation, I’m merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
Evey: Oh, right.
V. : But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace soubriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.
Evey: Are you like a crazy person?
V. : I’m quite sure they will say so.

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I know of no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot…

Song of the Post

Yes,
I'm serious. With every post that I..post..there will be an accompanying song to follow. Get used to it. Boom!

Song of the Post: Always Be- Jimmy Eat World

I am Sam

This is one of the introduction things that nobody cares for and nobody likes to read. But honestly...when was the last time you read the "Info" or "About me" sections on someones user profile? Think of all the social networking websites out there that have you fill in your "About Me" and "Information" sections. I mean, I could make remarks in mine about how I love sleeping with ice, or wrestling gorillas after yoga and I'm darn near completely sure that no one would catch that...

So here is an Ode to the About me/Introduction Sections. If you'll notice, I did NOT fill my "About Me" section on this blog. For those of you who checked, JUST to make sure, good for you, but this is the beginning of our relationship as writer and reader and you are really just going to have to learn to trust me more.

Mkay, enough dawdling, I'm cycling back to the subject at hand here: Intro's/About Me's. If you really want to know more about me, just ask. Email me. I respond to emails, unless you're scary, and speak languages I don't. So I figure I could spend sometime telling you about how "awesome and successful" I am, but then you would just end up feeling the way you do when you get Christmas cards from the Jones family...who if you didn't know from their Christmas card, did just freakin' fantastic this past year! ;D

For all my readers, call me Sam. I am Sam. Its the name of my real-life dog. He is such a ladies man. In fact Sam my dog, makes me look like a hobo. Darn that dog and his immense swagger. True story: my dog once put out a structure fire, just by barking and rolling in the grass, like all good fuzzy dogs do. Its true. Believe me.

Ladies and Gentlemen. My mind is frayed with weirdness and complexities, and so by remaining "Anonymous" in my blog, I do believe I'm doing you all a poignant favor. Feel blessed. I am Sam, and that may be all that you ever get to know other than what I decide to post about. Which reminds me, this Ode to the Introductions and About Me's got carried away fast...about how awesome...my dog is? But in a rebuttal to myself, check out the videos of my dog. How awesome is he? The First video is of Sam after he just got a bath. He does this EVERY time. In fact, that very practice you seem him engaging in, is the same one he used to put the fire out that I mentioned above. The second video is of Sam and how excited he is to go for a "sniff" (A walk around the block) that he can hardly contain himself! I love that dog. I admire his candor.

For those of you who know the man who writes this article, humor me and comment that you agree...my dog is sexy and makes me look like a hobo.

So all in all, at the end of the text, my Ode is as always. Ode to those who spend so much time describing themselves online...Ode to those who think people live and die by those descriptions...Ode to those who constantly change their "About Me's" to conform with how they feel that day or week...Ode to those who read other people's About Me's...Ode to people who brag about themselves inside their's and finally...Ode to the survivors of this post. You will be rewarded. Someday. Probably not by me though.











The End.

New Christmas

Beloved Euphoria!

There are times, need be when we need a lift. Sometimes I enjoy said lift from a delicious blueberry-zero-carbs-no-sugar Rockstart Energy Drink. They are delightfully delicious and do wonders for my system. But this is not my moment to bask in the glory of energy drinks, for today I have a new invention: New Christmas.

First to understand this you need to understand Christmas. Christmas in and of itself is a holiday which devotes its symbolism and fortified meaning to the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ. The focal point being his birth, the miracles surrounding it and the traditions that resulted and became traditions overtime. Gifts have been exchanged ever since the first gifts were given to the Virgin Mother Mary, and the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm tittering on the brink of wandering off topic.

New Christmas is a day, any day. It is a day in which the sole-celebrator or the community, circle, band, unit, platoon, relationship, kinship, etc, celebrating decides to call a specific day, New Christmas. In other words, its a day that is good. It is a day that makes one feel happy, and specifically that causes the insides of one to jump in excitement and be filled with emphatic joy. It does not have to come once a year, its spirit can be felt anytime and anyplace spanning miles, and last but not least, you control the creativity of everything from celebration to privatization. Example, New Christmas for me, erupted into existence based on the fact that I discovered some incredibly dumb, awesome, and satirical-yet-laughable links on the beloved internet (The internet is really, really great...). Also, its a personal New Christmas Day because of how I feel today. I've been attempting to be more content and to be more happy. Its working, and little ticks and articles and sites like the following, speed up the process of becoming more content! Follow my euphoria with:
1. Thefuntheory.com, 2. Summitbridge.com, 3. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,570450,00.html?test=latestnews,
AND lastly: 4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe2wxKvuDhc&feature=player_embedded#.

These are in no particular order. With the link though I want you to you:
A) Draw your own conclusions
B) Formulate your own opinions
C) Laugh, cry, celebrate, get mad, etc
D)Comment my each and every entry
and
E) Send me feedback. I want you to dissect my thoughts, comment/email me back, and also bring up noteworthy or un-noteworthy topics with which I can investigate and time allowing "post-on".

We have a lot of ground here to cover at "Let's Change Our Luck". I have decided to create an "almost-open-forum-like" feel to this blog and so I hope you appreciate that and comment. Your comments will help with the directional flow of this blog and will definitely help with what is blogged about. Thanks to those who become readers!

As for right now though friends. I'm good as gone. I'm leaving for a bit to eat lunch. I'll be back along with my ideas.
