Today is the last day of the first weekend in January of 2013 and I have not written a blog in incredibly too long.
The biggest news, fortunately, in my life right now is that all of my music was deleted off of my iPod and I have been, for the last couple of days, trying to recover as much as I can through CDs and purchases on iTunes. I am treating it like a much needed "music cleanse." There was a lot of music on there that I really did not need either because it bore me or brought back unpleasant or unnecessary memories or feelings. Way to start the new year off right, right?!
I have many resolutions like I have in the past...I never really follow through and it leaves me feeling guilty or like I somehow messed up or missed out... So, this year I decided that I would focus on one main goal.., and that is to fight an Info war. I am taking inspiration from Alex Jones (http://www.infowars.com/ if you are interested in checking him out) because he is a hardcore fighter. I love his energy, most of the time, and it has inspired me to be sterner and stand up for what I believe in, no matter what it is.
I have realized that most of the people I know who are willing to fight this "war" are male and so I have made it apart of my goal to recruit or at least reach out to more females. I feel that any sort of war or movement needs a balance of female and male power in order to be the most effective.
So far I am working on creating a FB page where I can repost, or post things that I find and I may have a connection that can help me go "viral" I really don't even care about how viral I go but I want to make a difference in the world even if that means I reach a few people and make them think a little more critically than they are used to.
It's been very frustrating though, but not disheartening at least, when I encounter people who say "I just can't believe..." or "I don't feel it's appropriate to discuss this...." or simply insinuate that I'm wrong because of my resources? If I don't believe in main stream media then my sources are just as legitimate...
I don't know...perhaps I am crazy and losing my mind, but "conspiracy theorists" are a-plenty out there if I am fast becoming one of them then so be it. Like I've said before, "I'd rather be a little paranoid than a lot naive" And believe that a lot of people I know are quite naive...
Another one of my goals in the new year is to try and be as honest as I can be, while at the same time try and meet people and make new connections. It's seriously easier said than done. I do not like meeting new people, I do not like going outside of my comfort zone...but I'm going to be trying uber hard.
I realize that this started out as a sort of "book blog" and I may continue that. I've recently read a great book called We by Yevgeny Zamyatin which inspired 1984 and Brave New World which I am now reading and rereading. I'll be sure to put a comparative blog once I've read all 3.
Other than all this 2013 will certainly be an interesting year to play out, I honestly think it will be more adventurous than 2012 was...
