Me Tarzan. You Failed

Watch this Sesame Street video and remember.

This morning, the office sort of shut down as we all [okay most of us] gathered round a Mac to watch old Sesame Street songs/videos. I blame my friend Ian for that. Posting this video on his faceboys wall, caused us all to just revisit the good ol' [drug induced?] days.

Of course, for me, a fresh sadness crept it as i realised a stunning truth:

We have failed Sesame Street. We have failed ourselves.

All of us with our issues about every thing, every one and every group; who [only] see the darkness every where... we ALL grew up watching Sesame Street and we have not learned.

What happened world? What happened to Tolerance? What happened to Understanding?

How quickly we have forgotten the rules. How easy it was to just exile common sense to the desert of childhood memories.

"Pssht! Sesame Street. That's to teach kids. The world isn't a sunny place like 123 Sesame Street."

Which is exactly WHY we should've remembered the lessons, those [seemingly] drug induced skits tried to teach us. *

You have failed, Earth-dwellers. We have all failed.

Pax

*I say drug induced because most of us adult types refuse to process a world where uninhibited creativity runs freely; where you do not have to be a sad, humorless drone to get your points across.

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 las...

Me Tarzan. You Preacher Politics

Valley of Decision by Christafari. Appropriate me thinks. On the night before the American election, while walking towards the taxi-stand, I became depressed by religion in politics. Actually, I became depressed by the thought of RACE in RELIGION but since that flowed into the political stream, one can say that I was sorely depressed all the way around. Here’s why: A prominent “Father of the Faith” so to speak, sat down with Mitt Romney. Now, tradition has shown that he’s the kind of guy that Presidents and Presidential hopefuls go to at some point in their careers, so it should come as no surprise that Master Mitt and the “Father” wold meet. It is said, that after meeting with him, though he didn’t give an all out public endorsement as other members of his family seem to have, he did advise the [Christian] public to vote according to Biblical Views/Beliefs....

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...
