Ultimate Conflict

Hi, I've been here for quite a long time, but have had hardly any activity to speak of. I'm writing this out of desperation.I'm at the lowest point I've been in about two years. The last time I was this bad I nearly destroyed everything I care about by being extremely addicted to weed. (no I didn't relapse yesterday, this has nothing to do with that silly date).I'll start with how I feel now, and work backwards from there.Currently, I have no motivation to speak of, and am the most depressed…See More

Addictive Behavior (INCEPTION ON YOUR OWN MIND???)

Posted on July 16, 2010 at 10:30pm 3 Comments

It occurred to me recently whilst trying to break some of my bad behaviors that perhaps this "addictive personality" that my family and friends tell me I am prone to is nothing more than just that: words spoken to me by others. The idea that my genes are more prone to addictive behaviors makes me think in the practical sense. Where does being substantially more at risk to addictive behavior become to my, or anyone elses' advantage?

The best way I can explain, or create any sort of workable… Continue

A Promise. (Project ASC propaganda?!)

Posted on June 20, 2010 at 8:27pm 3 Comments

I have long held a journal and written in it about my progress. After the initial affects of project ASC, the day Chiren explained it in his live stream, I have written about how my mental state has slowly become less and less stable. Since then, I have revived all my old, unwanted behaviors, and the mental and physical side effects associated with them. They are what I perceive to be "capitalistic coping measures," or ways of dealing with the harshness of a reality set forth by a capitalistic… Continue

What's all this about no red meat?

Posted on May 6, 2009 at 4:00am 0 Comments

Edit (10/22/4): I wrote this quite awhile ago, while I still don't eat red meat, I've changed my views a bit regarding the way I explain my position. I really don't care what other people eat, my main point of this article is to explain why I choose not to eat red meat. After you discover the way it's processed and choose not to live an ignorant life, you too will likely think twice before biting into a burger. Just saying, ignorance is a sure way to live a…
