Two Crazy event probably highlighted the news this last week. Two individuals are two i could learn alot from and want to discuss.
The first is Ted Williams
Golden Voice Ted Willams goes from Homeless Felon to internet Sensation who now is very employed
">
How does somebody so gifted fall so hard? His recent viral sucess has his popularity SKYROCKETING. They say he is harder to get ahold of than the president himself.
I ask if he had this gift even 20 years ago before he fell under the poverty line, why did he not expose it then. I know he had a radio gig, why did he have to turn to Drugs/Alcohol when he knew he was heading in the right direction. I am trying to figure out the moment in time where you got off your radio show gig about 15 years ago and walked to your car about to go home to your family that you loved so much. Maybe you loved them as much as the drugs and when something sparked you turned to the drugs. Those drugs took you out of your wifes bed into the homeless shelter and on the streets. It took you 15 years but you claim to have found God in your life. God and YouTube have now put you in a movie role with Jack Nicholson and basically a household name. Probably the story intensified your popularity so much that i couldn't imagine you being as popular had you not turned to coke.
Personally I love what Youtube has done to the American Dream. It has brought everybody 15 minutes closer to their fifteen minutes of fame. You are an interesting piece and If i was you i would have been a bit more creative while i was homeless. If I was you, I would have stood outside of the sports bar and announced the football games play by play. Dont worry about my opinion though, I was Messing with your Destiny. A Happy Story hopefully, Mr Williams.
In other news,
The second is the Suspected Gunman in the Arizona Shootings Jared Lee Loughner,
">
I know this man is insane, and this is just the ramblings of a nutjob. He is going to jail for the rest of his life, I mean, he murdered a federal judge and a 9 year old. that is unacceptable, and i dont care how much you hate the governement, you cant shoot at kids.
One Quote i will take from this is that
Less than 5% of americans are dreamers.
I guess somebody has a problem with the fact that the majority of people in this country dont dream. And the problem was so pressing, he decided to pull his gun out and shoot at a local congresswoman. On top of that a 9 Year old girl who "Ironically" was born on September 11th. September 11th 9 years ago. That represents a day that will forever be remembered by my generation. After watching this video i can tell that you hit schizophrenia. and it was confirmed by the news that your environment diddnt rile you up to do this. There is an imbalance within you, but how much can we blame that imbalance. What triggered you to pull the trigger?
The Colombine shooters were considered social outkasts, which really showcased the negative aspects and social importance of the High School Hierarchy. As a young indian in a white neighborhood i was forced to be SOMETHING besides myself (or the categorization portrayed by a skinny darkskinned curve-setting MIT candidate) There were consequences if nobody would hang out with you. It could drive you to shoot up the school. They knew what was coming to them but decided to take away lives in the process.
When I murmur Destiny I usually fantasize about the impending TI-83 outputs sent by God. It's a shame though, that i didn't pray this morning. Even if i diddnt formally acknowledge God, its a shame that i diddnt thank him for the opportunities. I still commit footprints but now that i actually write about it, its like almost unwelcomed. Isnt it weird when somebody says "Your welcome" without a pretext? I know servers at restaurants like to do this to be Smart-asses. Crazy.
So you had a problem with American currency, American police, literacy, and dreamers. You should have tried your luck somewhere else because now your life will be inanimate behind the prison cell. I certainly don't agree with much of what is going on, and with the power of organization, i can side with those that want to change it. Sometimes I want to blind myself from things that are so irrefutable. The Patriot Act has basically let the government in on any form of communication you have except possibly a face to face conversation in your bathroom and you have to both write on a piece of paper and make sure you don't have any windows in that bathroom. Sometimes you have to question what you see on TV when you know that PBS is the only non-commercial television network.
To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle. - George Orwell.
As much as I try to be factual, it seems i need to audit my thoughts. The child in you wants everything, and at that everything to be perfect. Who doesn't agree though. What's the point of having cake if you cant eat it. I do love this country. I really love America, the city upon a hill speech said in the 1600's is a story of promise, and provides parallels to explain the American Dream. Ultimately my dream. My Purpose has not changed and it will not. But how i go about it cannot be written down just once. I allow for flexibility. But the end result is carved into the stone.
What would I do if I lost my Cool. I'm Moving to Goa. You cant complain about anything over there. =]
