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 List

--> I’ve been listening to SKYFALL since the radio edit dropped on Thursday. It tore through me indeed. But somewhere around Friday evening [maybe earlier], I realised that while most people were loving the song for it’s Adele/Bond value, for me it was an actual plea to Heaven. "Please, let the sky fall already." I had had enough. I wrote a short piece for my [name: classified] project and while doing so, I asked myself, “what would it take to make you happy?”. I wrote it on my phone.. Here now is the list. What would it take to make you happy? 1. ACTUALLY seeing God I remember, the days leading up to the surgery thinking, what would happen if i went under and had some kind of Divine Visitation? What then? If I sat down to it, I can almost rationalise every faith experience. Almost. I think about how many times I was supposed to be dead - literally - and I think, it had to be God. Of ...

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 advo...

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...
