our minds as a bodily plexus bend from any centrifugal condescension (by moving outwards with our idea of a master morality) ...right now everything is set in a blissful complacency with an open book of erudition that hopefully keeps away from the inanely behaviors of a bodily octopus such described by ken Kesey when a crowd bares nothing but a screaming echo of drab synchronism. " It is a single colonial animal with a thousand waving tentacles- vibrating poison madness and filling the universe with teeny agony torn out of them." I guess I am staying at the littoral side where the waves crash into me, and I take the chance of being swallowed by the unknown that I may come across. I don't want to be any such tentacle of society, but the water rushing around.... objectively from an outside perspective.<br /><br /><br />"i'd rather be a lightning rod than a seismograph."<br /><br /><br />b. contextualized <br /><br />I played a show with cutlery at that quaint club at the center of middle schools around the county....

Then again the ground’s and facility is fine when you can hide out in that room next to the main anteroom and have some great conversations with friends...I have a fun time pranking, and making terry nervous for almost getting us kicked out. Chris short finally gave me my secret Santa gift, which ended up being a penis mic, but someone hid it from me.... I guess under the rules of mpb there is no admittance of a penis mic.... it’s not quite christian enough. I’m sure we will be playing a show in the near future, once we forget just how bad the vibes are from the place...but really if I can hang out with friends in any place...ill do my best to make it out.<br /><br />well...I'm gonna drive to arundell mills with mary...her shoes are 7 years old, so were gonna walk with them and find some new ones.<br /><br />i love you all. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:casey_ryback:17048 2005-11-21T07:04:50Z 2005-11-21T07:18:56Z Spiritualized....Ladies, and Gentleman..thanks adam <img src="http://www.arkat-usa.org/ark/journal/2002/I09_Bull/JB-550J/550J_files/image002.gif"><br /><br /><br /><br />"Like the earth a hundred years ago, our mind still has its darkest Africa’s; it’s unmapped quandaries, and Amazonian basins. Like the giraffe, and the duckbilled platypus, the creatures inhabiting these remoter regions of the mind are exceedingly improbable. Nevertheless they exist, they are facts of observation; they cannot be ignored by anyone who truly wants to understand the world around them. “ If you go to new south Wales, you will see marsupials hopping about the countryside. And if you go to the antipodes of the self-conscious mind, you will encounter all sorts of creatures any more than you invent marsupials. We need to explore our own antipode minds as we do the physical world around us.” Knowledge is what the individual makes it to be, because in reality “Every ultimate fact is only the first in a new series,” and from our own perception we may understand our inside perception of knowledge, and pull down our outer social praxis from what we are said to believe. What is the source of our knowledge, and what doubts are they’re concerning the possibility of knowledge? <br /><br /> “The eye is the first circle; the horizon, which it forms, is the second; and throughout nature this primary figure repeated without end.” Our senses create knowledge within our lives of reality. Every action surpasses another, until a new theory of reality is created. Our theories are being skewed by our senses, because we make a hypothesis, and we have no physical senses to prove them because we were either not around, or it is too far away to capitulate. The Big Bang is a hypothesis, for we never existed to actually prove the conclusion. “There is no fixtures in nature. The universe is fluid, and volatile. Permanence is but a word of degrees. <br /><br />The new continents are built out of the ruins of an old planet; the new races fed out of the decomposition of the forgoing. New arts destroy the old. Roads, and canals: engender railways by steam, to electric cars of the future.” When our culture is but past criticism, and old knowledge new knowledge of hypotheses, theories, and conclusions will be recreated. For our books may not exist anymore, and may be ashes of a dormant society. “The life of man is a self-evolving circle, which, from a ring imperceptibly small, rushes on all sides outwards to new, and larger circles, and that without end.” <br /><br />The source of knowledge is our own perception of the world, and it is doubted like “melting away an old Greek sculpture of the past,” because the world around us is a “mysterious ladder” of un-answered truths. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:casey_ryback:16664 2005-10-07T20:18:45Z 2005-10-07T20:18:45Z Pink Floyd.

Thank you sam of the goody <img src="http://www.pink-floyd-lyrics.net/pink-floyd-lyrics/ObscuredByClouds.jpg"> <br /><br /><br />I would say I am tired of working for a life that I can't live yet. College seems to be just another gate to keep me away from my own studies. I am the figure that society molded. As much as I try, and take alternate routes in my own college studies, maybe in the end I will loose my own consensus, and individual thought. I think I need some Lysergic acid diethylamide to keep me warm by the fire this winter. My mind needs to be warm with lush new thoughts, and I think exploring my own mind is as worthy enough cause just as projects in the confines of college. I work problems backwards apparently, and I reverse situations like learning of them after ive just experienced them. <br /><br />============================================================================================<br /><br />Everyone ive been next to this week has led me into allot of negative feelings towards people. That came off negative as well... I love everyone but I have been selfish for my own time. I see a change, and maybe it is that I don’t feel content with just sliding through college, I want to better myself first...and then the people around me. My first time out of the isolated house around me was Gilberts party. It was great in my own world, yet with friends picking up phones, and prancing out of drunken belligerence was a good laugh. I just wish people would chill out, and enjoy the company.
