“are you out of your vulcan mind?” [1]

musings:
·       sometimes, love is green.  Love, however, is All-Ways blue.

·       the 21^st century is the time of thoetry.

·       a (former) artist (formerly) known as a prince… mis-used language (in concert) to make (for lack of a better term) "muse-ic."

·       there has never been a better time to be a thoet -- as words, languages, and theologies allow for a tapestry of innovative creativity/expression.

why do i rebel? [1]

by a. rebel & wit h. o. utacause

why do i rebel?
when logic serves me well
i know what’s good (for me) i should, but
why do i rebel?
__________________________________
 
·       why… with all of the knowledge, experience, self-reflection, and psychological double-cross-introspection…

why do i rebel?

 
·       why do i do the exact thing that i’m trying (knowingly) not to do?
 
·       why does it seem impossible to do what i know is good for me, instead of that which fulfills my immediate gratification?
 
·       why do i rebel, and why do i rebel against myself?

selfish expectations [1]
by x. p. ectations

alternative title: beginning of the end

selfish expectations
of family and friends
hot and cold relations
beginning of the end
_________________________________________
 
·        self-less expectations are when we expect/hope/support others in bettering themselves and their life experience.

·        self-ish expectations come in two varieties:

o   expecting something from yourself, for yourself (which is both natural and good), and

o   expecting something for yourself, from someone else (which is often the beginning of the end of a healthy relationship).
