all inclusive

I think I have come up with some of the most important concept as far as my revolution goes: inclusion. Re-thinking the whole world in terms of inclusion rather than exclusion.
Specifically, and this will no doubt generate new goals, I need to make all goals steps or parts of a greater whole, where the end result is more than the sum of it’s parts.
Forget profit as an aim, and think of it as a byproduct of doing something really great. Use the bushido concept of walking dead and employ life as a tool, or resource, rather than some external thing. I haven’t got it all nailed down yet, but I am on a path and I want to see where it goes.
As that guy said, that time before he was thrown to the lions, “Play the man.”



musings

just before I walk through the winter streets of Chicago’s south side to catch a bus home, I have to wonder if, perhaps, I have been going about this all wrong….
If I am the revolution, then shouldn’t it begin IN me, and there-by spread outward? If it doesn’t, won’t I be a hypocrite? Maybe the reason I don’t accomplish as much as I want, is that I am not focused, and this is the essence of all things: to get shit done. We don’t all agree on the revolution, but we all want. So, action is Chemical X, and I think I can get some…



gave up drinking

sort of fits here since this is about getting things done. I figure the less time I spend drunk the more time I will have to work. My work has increased. My roommates, seeing me work, also work. As a group we are ouring it out. Energy, as Mr. Peart wrote, is contagious.



fab

I am going to see if I cannot helop things along in the mountains of Nicaragua…Fabretto. Fabretto.org. One of my professors did it and we can use our design skills to help people out.
Doing good with what you could…..



the other day

So, my truck breaks down and I take a short cut across the south branch of the river via some train tracks and a railroad cop shakes me down. I can understand the absolute fury of being “a rat in a cage”, but I also have to understand that this is a larger problem. It’s not administration, partisan, or economic: it is people.
Anyone who says people are basically good obviously has never met one…and you can quote me on that.



sign of time

So I see this marrow donor program where I can get on a registry just in case and there are samples and what not so I can be a part of a database. Then if ssomeone needs something and I’m compatible, the right people know and I can help out. Here’s the thing: I’m too poor. There’s a fee for the samples and so on, and I have no money (seriously: doing laundry in my bath tub).

What does it mean to be so poor financially that you are unable to donate of your physical self?



quicky

Seriously:
What are ‘we’ revolting against?
What is wrong?

I’m writing my answer on a napkin and then I want to see what everyone says…



spare change

Every time I tell someone about what I think, they agree. It’s great. I want to write it, but it’s better to live it and offer proof: we all talk a good game, let’s lay our money down and see who folds.



the face of change

Ah, just spent some time in a war zone getting hostile fire pay and carrying a gun…crazy. Got some plans going, and I think it’s all going to be fine. We are ready for some change, we just need a leader.



who

“Cynicism is often seen as a rebellious attitude in western popular culture, but
in reality, our cynicism advances the desires of the powerful: cynicism is
obedience.”
Who actually believes thet can change things either way? For good or bad?
