Me Tarzan. You Community

All my life, my uncle has been around. More so, the last seven or so months [and continuing], when things felt sketchy at best and downright panicky at worst.

Yesterday [June 30th, 2014], he called to see if everything was alright in my end of the universe. I told him thank you and he said to me, "just remember me when you get into your kingdom". For those who may not catch the reference, it's the line used by the thief at the right hand of Christ [on the cross]; he turned to Him and said, "Lord, remember me when you enter your Kingdom"; Christ replies "Today you will be with me in Paradise" ... we laughed. Inside Theist joke. But admittedly, the line hit me. In my stomach.

I went home and wrote this in the everlasting Nokia, 'CHANGE TRACY FOR THE BETTER! There are people's lives depending on you to change!'. And I knew this already it's just... new. And here's the truth of the matter: Success isn't just for you/your benefit alone. There are people in the universe who are waiting for you [your influence, your help, your advice... YOU], so that they can be better. Success isn't [necessarily just] personal, it's Community based.

Here's to going out and fixing/rebuilding/being successful for your own good and for the future peoples who you'll inspire.

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 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 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
