Oh yeah, so

Realizing there's a lot of songs I like and I want to post up somewhere from time to time, I threw up the lil thing on the right side with just that. It won't be more than five at a time, and I started it off with The Juliana Theory which is an old-ish(late90s) punk band? They tend to lurk my playlist and go weeks without showing up, but when they show up I remember how badass they are so. Truly one of my favorite bands, both in sound and lyrics. Their sound is, unique, their vocalist is pretty awesome and in general a good band. But anyways, here they are, for your listening (dis)pleasure, just look at the top right (or you know, use last.fm/youtube if you're interested) and click away.

Za Future?

So, this is sort of a thought I've wanted to express for a while. I recently partially said it to Mari, but it was too... circumstantial and fleeting to hold much water. And I'll admit at the time I was trying a 'lil bit too hard? But meh, the thought still holds true.

A lot of people live in fear of what the future will bring, in fear of acting a certain way because of how the future will play out. They try to "predict the future" and gauge their actions accordingly, as if believing the future to be this unalterable event that will happen no matter what, and what will be, will be. They are afraid to act outside a way that will affect this sure event to an extent that almost scares me sometime. People give themselves up to inevitable futures and never try to do anything about it.

I say fuck it. The future is nothing but the sum of all our actions. So why should we fear it and act towards what we believe the future will be? Sure, there may be high probabilities for a certain event to occur, but you can still change it, or prevent it even. The future is decided today. Our actions determine what will be of the future, and only we determine what will come of it, so why are we so adverse to it? If our choices dictate our future, then whether or not it's good or bad is in our hands. Planning for the future can be pointless, because no one can tell you what it will be for sure, they can only make you conscious of the pieces they intend to add to the puzzle. A puzzle which is entirely in our control, so whose to say we can't force it to swing in a favorable direction?

If you fear what a certain action will do later on down the line, it's imperative to ask yourself why that action has to lead to that event. Like I said, it's the sum of ALL our actions. If we make one wrong choice, we can still make up for it. If we make one choice for the sake of something that may impair us in some way, we can make the best of it and turn it into a plus, it's all a matter of how we choose to act. Actions and our perceptions of reality ARE reality, so it's pointless to give up, because true defeat is only possible when you give up. If you keep on fighting for a desirable outcome, then whose to say it won't happen? But you need to start moving towards it yourself, nobody else can do it for you, and it won't happen by itself. Sure, certain events which occur because of others may sometimes put a hinder in our plans, but whether or not we get stuck on them is entirely our call.

If life has you down, cry a river, build a bridge, and get over it. Keep on pushing, for nobody but you can tell you what lays beyond.

Lol Wut?

I'll randomly throw shit up here, dunno if I'll link anyone individually or even care enough to update it, but for now it exists. At any rate, I might fix up the thing a bit more visually later, maybe make my own layout, but, later, for now, ef that. Feel free to expect anything from me on here, random thoughts, saying from the top of my head, links to song I feel like linking, what the fuck ever. If I use it, it'll be pretty spammy so >_>'

So yeah. Thats that. If you don't know me, then, tough? Why're you even here then? Go off and do something productive xD
