Me Tarzan: You Be


This Friday's Video Entry can be found HERE

"I hypothesize that in order to be excellent at something you must first pick yourself up and DO something." - The Hutchings Hypothesis



Dear You;
Are you happy?
I suppose that’s not the most normal way to start a letter but then again what is normal to
us? That’s a human condition. Still, are you happy? To be honest, these past few days I can’t say that I am fully aware of what that means but I’m working on it.
Sidebar: “To be honest” – what the hell does that mean? Shouldn’t people be honest in ALL their communications? Pff!

Anyways, so one of the definitions of happiness according to Macbook Dictionary (shut up, it’s still a viable dictionary) reads, “willing to do something”. I don’t want to do anything. Which is funny for reasons you and I know all too well. You know what’s equally funny? Go and do a search for the word ‘excel” and you’ll see, to “be exceptionally good at or proficient in an activity or subject”. So... happy means you have to be willing to DO something and to excel means to be exceptionally good at what YOU ARE DOING. it’s hand it hand it seems.

You remember when we used to do things? Grab the camera, make stuff, spend forever editing? Editing. Good grief yes, editing. You were right I’ll give you that. But it was fun. Left room for excellence. And in the very least, we we’re doing. And doing is the first stage towards being excellent, right? I hope you’re doing stuff. I hope the stuff you’re doing is making you happy. And I hope you’re doing it excellently. Who am I kidding , is you. I’m doing stuff. Not just the advertising but ACTUAL stuff. Been prepping some of it secretly – look out for that soon. I’ve also started the second blog I was telling you about, Me Tarzan. I can finally throw my… thought experiments and varying hypotheses around. You know me. And yes B is for Stealing stays, it’ll be my… creative outlet. Well more so.

I don’t particularly KNOW where I’m going with this – and you know how uncertainty thrills me beyond compare – but I just had to write this. So yesh, here it is.
Be happy. Live Excellently. DO. STUFF.

Me Tarzan. You Life Lessons.

                                Übermensch! Übermensch! Da-da-da-da-da-da Übermensch! --> I started reading up on Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche again. He has always fascinated me. He had two main statements that jerked me. 1). That of the Ubermensch – commonly known as the superior man or the superman and 2). The whole “death of God” concept – which even as I type this feels so… unright [I should say wrong but humor me]. It’s like incest I would think – the death of God? And not even in the supremely messianic portrayal seen every Easter, no this was more like getting rid of Him completely. With all my faults, even that seems too much. But then a friend of mine gave me a brief logic a few years ago and I could see a glimmer of a gem in a jewel box, wrapped in an oil cloth. The point was made that, Nietzsche advocated THIS-WORLD ism [not correct title but that’s how I’ll break it down]. If there was no soul, no other place to go to; if this was the only realty the

Me Tarzan: You Thorough Examination

 "I hypothesize that the reason Perception outweighs Truth is that Truth demands a thorough examination and we all have ADHD." The Hutchings Hypothesis There is a pro-life poster I always see. It reads, “The supporters of abortion have already been born”. Now on the surface, the statement seems sound and seeing the frequency of which the statement/image/poster is used, I’d say it has even become a linchpin for the movement. That is until you examine the truth of the statement which is often overlooked: who better to support abortion than those among the living? Those who have seen the ills of unwanted pregnancies, pregnancies by abuse, the scar and shame of the woman/young girl who [to this day in some circles] is still treated like another piece of property instead of a living thinking being. Indeed, the supporters of abortion HAVE already been born and because of that, they are able to say “you should have a choice”. I bet you look at the whole thing differen

Me Tarzan, You Save Me

                                         Ah, Smallville. Ah, Remy Zero! You say the best things. "How to save the world in five (5) minutes? Die. It dawns on me that both religiously and ordinarily, when someone dies... People change. U could try to change people all you want but it's in death that they realise - he, she stood for something. And they change. Funny. Pax"  - Text to a brother: July 20th, 2012; 6:19pm * I used to live in fear of the phone ringing. There was a time when the phone would ring and i would wonder if this was the day that my heart would be broken? Would i hear the news that a loved one [friend/family] has died? Was it a car crash? Please God, don't let evil or sad/tragic intent be on the other end of the phone. I haven't felt that way for a while, till last Sunday. We got the call. A healthy young man - Father, Deacon, Army Dude and all round good guy dies from a heart attack. I was cold. I didn't feel anything that moment bu
