You Can't Always Get What You Want

But if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.

Such a simple statement. But such a difficult concept to deal with. We are human. We want it all, and we want it now. But step back, look at what you have instead of what you don't have. I promise you that your perspective on life will change and you will be happier with your new-found optimism. Its October, its freezing outside, but I have a house to live in, a bed to sleep in, food, water, and friends that care about me. I have no right to complain over anything. We need to learn to be happy with what we have already because if you can't be happy as a poor man you will never be happy as a rich man. You may FEEL happy temporarily. But the most important things in life are the relationships we build with each other and how we treat others. You may not believe me but one day you will. That's it for today. Goodbye to the 2 people that will actually read this. lol

Can't You Trip Like I Do-

Never do we question the changes in the world around us. We accept them at inevitable. What a sad world we live in where we do so much harm but at the same time we validate ourselves with the rationalizations of others around us. The human spirit has so much potential but instead we CHOOSE to limit ourselves to our comfort zones. If we could somehow step outside of our self- manufactured psychological holding cells we could accomplish anything. But I will just sit here and write about it instead of doing anything about it. Isn't that what kid's do these days?

Tomorrow never comes. Because once tomorrow begins, it becomes today.

Fear and Loathing in Salt Lake

Why is it that when I go to the doctor, they never really want to solve my problem...They seem to be drawn (probably by money) to writing prescription after prescription of drugs that we really don't know much about....Think about it...Viagra...a medication that came out within the past decade or so.....we have no idea long term effects of these new "FDA" approved drugs. If you actually look at the studies done on the medications you take every day, you would be very surprised to know how little research has been done on many of them.

The best examples are Phen-Fen and Vioxx. Those medications killed people because of the lack of long term studies on those medications. The doctors get money to write us these prescriptions that are bandages to problems. They give us Vicodin or Xanax or some other masking medication to just make us feel better for the time being. In the long run it honestly just makes it much worse.

I fell victim this myself when I was in high school and I was given Lortab for pain when it wasn't necessary. It led to me becoming a dope fiend and ruining my life. We need to start some sort of legal proposition against overprescribing or something. Or maybe I'll just sit on my butt and do nothing like always.

Screw the FDA

WHY?

why do we continue to do wrong when we know its wrong?
why do we still expect different results with the same actions?
why do we never change?
why are we the ones that are supposed to change? why cant society change?
why does everything seem to be backwards?
why are all the good things in life looked down on whey the bad things are glamorized?
why?

Weekly Rant

Michael Jackson was a brilliant pop song-writer and performer. That doesn't make him a saint. I can't stand how our media is so afraid to offend or draw away watchers that if Charles Manson died they would probably say that he was a very "Charming" man with a "little problem". They are so afraid to bring up all of the weirdness and strange accusations that have been thrown on him for the past 25 years or so. Sure you have people out there that think that he was just a very friendly human being that liked kids...a lot...But there's no excuse for a grown man to sleep in the same bed as a child not belonging to him. A lot of people don't know this but Michael Jackson owned the rights to all of the Beatles original recordings because he outbid Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono in their attempts to keep their own songs. So hopefully Paul, Yoko, Ringo, and the Harrison estate can get all their original recordings back because Michael has been using Beatles songs wherever he feels like. That really pissed me off. By the way, I heard a version of "Across the Universe" by the Beatles that was really neat. Its the version on the Past Masters 2 album which also has some of the better non-album stuff like "Rain", "The Inner Light", "Hey Jude", and of course others. And why the hell are we still freakin' out over the swine flu? Isn't Obama supposed to fix everything? ..............

I decided not to review the library albums individually because it would take too long. If I am going to review something it is going to be done in full without missing anything, so I don't have the time. I do have time to pick an album of the week to review each week to release on Sunday or Monday. So keep checkin back if you even care....
