Time moves forward regardless of our opinions. The days are shorter and the past is fading. Every day farther away. Everyone claims to know the truth, yet we all are truly blinded, if not by one thing, then definitely by another. Illusions. Mind games. Division. Reality is too real to ignore. It isn’t healthy to … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 111: Learn to Love It

500 WORDS, DAY 110: Working With Waves
There’s something about the whole process that comes with working with audio hardware, which includes connections of all kinds going back and forth to and from different places, each one with its own specific function, all working together to create something new, blending together in so many infinitely different and unique ways, making the possibilities … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 110: Working With Waves
500 WORDS, DAY 109: The Post That Almost Didn’t Get Written
You tremble as you sit in the dark contemplating your mortality. The invisible hand of God hovers over your head. Death is certain, and the time it will come is unknown. Unknown until it comes. Then when it comes, it stays unknown. At least to the human brain. I don’t know if we know how … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 109: The Post That Almost Didn’t Get Written
500 WORDS, DAY 108: Perspective
It seems to me like life really does come down to perspective. While a case can be made for the idea that life is good and that therefore human beings are ultimately good, there’s also quite a case to be made for the idea that humanity and the planet are ultimately evil and corrupt. Although … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 108: Perspective
500 WORDS, DAY 107: Keeping One’s Inner Child Alive
Aldous Huxley, one of my favorite writers, wrote about the importance of keeping one's inner child alive even through the hardest of situations. What is so unique about a child's perspective on the world? Well, one thing I think makes a child's perspective on life not only very unique and fresh, but also quite wise … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 107: Keeping One’s Inner Child Alive
500 WORDS, DAY 106: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 3)
Stream of consciousness. I guess I’ll start with this though I just thought of: It reminds me of an audiobook I really love by Ram Dass, titled The Journey of Awakening. It starts out describing a typical person’s morning, waking up and finding oneself bombarded by “a raging, roaring river of thoughts” about everything from … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 106: Stream of Consciousness (Pt. 3)
500 WORDS, DAY 105: Less is More
Less is more. I mean, it’s not always the case, but it certainly applies to a vast number of situations, and it’s a wise saying that I think more people should take time to consider. The problem is that the fact that less is often more isn’t always obvious to us, since we’ve grown up … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 105: Less is More
500 WORDS, DAY 104: Thanksgiving
I’m thankful to each and every single person out there who decided to read this post. I’m thankful not exactly because you read this, but because you had the chance to read this, meaning that you’re alive to read it. I hope you stay that way. I’m thankful for every single person I’ve ever met … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 104: Thanksgiving
500 WORDS, DAY 103: Life is Crazy
Life is fucking crazy. Sometimes I struggle to get my daily writing started because I feel like whatever I write has to come to some eventual conclusion, and must have some sort of message or lesson to it. Why would that be the case though? Fuck it. I'll just say what I have to say … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 103: Life is Crazy
500 WORDS, DAY 102: All That is Good and Pure
Let us dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of all that is good and pure, of all that builds character in us and that uplifts our spirit, since it’s all we’ll be taking with us when we depart from this material existence. Let us rise above all the petty nonsense, all the arguing and bickering, and … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 102: All That is Good and Pure
