A Mola Mola lyrics!
(Surrender yourself to death)
Give up your pain, give up your pleasures
Give up your past, give up your lovers
give up your friends, give up your family
Forget about what you hate, forget about what you desire x2
Give into death and you will know nothingness… The only true reality…
…But don’t be afraid (it’s easy to be afraid)
Because you’re not alone (everyone’s afraid)
Give up your body, flesh, blood, and bones
Don’t keep your body, it was already alone
Give up the animal which houses your soul
Don’t be obsessed with possession, let go
Possession leads to lost, lost leads to pain,
Pain leads to grief, but grief is nothing
when you realize you don’t exist
Now embrace the beauty in which we call death
The grave welcomes and recieves you with love
The dark hole, the door to your rebirth
your next life, your new body, THE UNIVERSE.
The earth will cover you with love,
it is your new flesh and body
you are the green and the blue
you are me and I am you
you are the dark and the light,
you are stars that guide us at night
you are the wind, you are the essence,
you are life.
The internet is pissing me off
Oh look at me, I like to read reliable news and be informed with shit, I know about things going on before many others. Hey look I’m a hipster fag, fuck you.
I’ve seen everything on the internet and so have you. I like to spread ideas. So do you. I like sharing my art. So do you.
I hate facebook, a bunch of babies. All of a sudden an internet slacktivism opportunity trend comes along, everyone knows something about the issue. Then there are those people who think they’re better and know better about the issue and you sense condescension in their comments.
Too bad people weren’t this riled up about Patriot Act, TSA, NDAA, etc.
I’m a hypocrite and so are you.
At the same time I can’t be mad because its better than most things people post.
GAH I don’t even know what to think, I’m on top of the fence and haven’t fallen over to a side. The free internet is nice; it allows us to share information and get our name out there. If you make music, GREAT, you can share it. If you create art, GREAT, you can share it. If you own a company, GREAT, you can advertise and get your business out. etc. etc. etc. etc..
On the other hand, it sometimes makes it TOO easy to get out. Youtube celebrities for example. Like this one youtube celebrity, Frank, he had his own show on TV at one point, and I wanted to shoot him because he sucks. I think SOPA/PIPA would be great, it make it harder for shitty people to get noticed and harder for companies to find shit to market.
No internet would probably make us more social and less creepy. I guess it wouldn’t be bad to live in the time of the 80’s when people talked on phones, socialized more, and shared music through mixtapes.
If the internet left, the only thing I would be upset about is the free porn, music, and textbooks. I hate paying for books. And paying for other stuff.
Pretty much my winter break. The best part is that it doesn’t matter.
TODAY’S HOROSCOPE:
FUCK YEAH.
I can’t til finals are over
Finals!
This semester has been kind to me.
I feel so ready for my final exams. I have learned a very important lesson that helped me throughout the semester. This is an idea that I feel some people are already aware of but can vary down to those who don’t have a clue. This is such a stupid, straightforward, obvious, “Duh”-type of conclusion that I came to but I feel like I’m having such a simple revelation that I wanted to vent.
This idea stemmed off of one lecture. Earlier this fall, I saw Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist, explain what his predictions were for the future. The lecture was basically a look at what type of technology and advances are to come out based on Moore’s Law, a linear progression of technology over time. By 2030, microchips should cost a penny, and technology will be “everywhere and nowhere at the same time,” just as electricity is today. At the end of the lecture, a student mentioned that we would no doubt be discovering new things and proceeded to ask if it would be too hard on humans to learn all of these new concepts on top of what we already know now.
What he said is what made me think; he said something along the lines of “learning is just the understanding of fundamentals and concepts of current ideas.” From all the things we know now, we’ve developed tools to help us. He said for example, in older times, people never needed to write, until the need for notes, messages, and letters arose. In other times, people had the abacus and had to learn a different, relatively complex way of calculating. And even the 20th-21st century, people were still learning about the periodic table, and now we have a reference chart, or tool, of the current periodic table of elements.
He used an example a futuristic item, contact lenses with computers built in. In the future, we would not need certain books or to learn elementary concepts because we can just blink and have all the information we need in our eye-lids. This, in essence, eliminates the need to learn certain ideas, allowing for the acquisition of the newer, possibly more essential ones.
The way he explained learning made me try something different. I tried a new method of studying by just reading… A lot. If learning is just understanding concepts and fundamentals, then I should just stop doing problems… and I did. This sounds terribly stupid, and you’re all probably like “no shit, that’s what learning is, understanding stuff” but I feel like I’ve found a new way to learn. What I feel from my observations, are that so many students go to lecture, see and example problem, and later try to get down and dirty and do a homework problem, but struggle. Like I said, this is what I feel, I may totally be wrong. It’s almost like regurgitation of material , not really absorbing concepts, and trying to manipulate problems to match the example. I’ve stopped doing problems and have just been reading. I actually now love knowing the how’s and why’s. It just may just be my point of view because I have engineering and math courses, but it also lead to another conclusion. I HAVE to be good at this stuff, its why I’m an engineer. I also feel like so many people know this and I feel dumb for being a “late-bloomer.”
After reading and understanding things, it made all my work easier. I never have to struggle too hard on a problem, and also used a lot of outside materials to learn and understand the same thing over and over. Even old high school stuff. When I ask people “so what do you remember from ‘Course 100’?” and they say things like “nothing much,” or “Didn’t learn shit,” I feel totally different from that. I feel like I can recall many things from older courses and it feels nice.
Applying this method through out the semester, taking precise notes, and more so “picturing” concepts in my mind, and lots and lots and lots and lots of reading. One helpful method is relating the idea to a simple real life scenario (this is probably more of a math/engineering technique) and deriving the fundamentals out yourself.
So that is my simple, profound, yet obvious epiphany I had this semester and I wanted to share.
P.S.
