Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Transforming tedium to creative growth while commuting to work: 2 of 29
Creative things to do while being stuck in commuter traffic at first seems a little difficult. I mean somehow you would first have to get your mind off of the fact that precious moments of your life are just passing you by. Not to mention that driving in more or less normal moving traffic takes, or should take, the majority o... More..
Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts Mastering difficulties to achieve personal success: 4 of 17
This is as much a practical question as a philosophical one, perhaps more. The idea being how to master difficult. I suppose the best way to begin is at the beginning. If it's a problem to be solved or a question to be answered, then the first thing would have to be understanding the problem or question. If it involves some k... More..
Arts & Humanities > Writing Tips The importance of editing: 9 of 25
When I write, what I'm doing is transcribing the thoughts in my head as I create them or as they simply arise. The problems come when I reread these freshly symbolized concept strings, that while in my head and in the stream of consciousness, seemed just fine and clear, but when reread, I find that this is often not the case....

Computers & Technology > Internet Issues Why YouTube is getting worse: 8 of 21
I remember hearing about YouTube in an article somewhere. I realized then that I would be able to make videos of myself doing my original songs and would then be able to share them with friends who had expressed an interest. So I did just that and today a year later I'm still doing that. I write a song, make a video, post the... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) The media conspiracy against presidential candidate Ron Paul: 10 of 26
Ron Paul is a maverick. Whether you like what he says or not, what he says is just not in that narrow band of typical political spiels. He's not using the usual formulas for addressing the standard agendas that pass for Political discourse and debate. He's framing his own debate. This loose cannon is calling into question man...

Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Writing and intuition: 7 of 15
What is Intuition anyway? Some kind of apperception or meta-perception? How about some kind of connection to an infinite intelligence? Maybe it might be some kind of silent,as in wordless, knowing? Some kind of synthesis of feeling and sense perception adding up together in a mysterious way that bypasses the drudgery of reaso... More..
Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts What is the reason for existence and the meaning of being: 10 of 19
There is no knowable predetermined reason for existence. Nor is there any assigned meaning given to your existence. You have various religious and philosophical opinions some may or may not believe. But as for certainty, there is nothing. So why write about it? Well, because some do find meaning and purpose for their existenc... More..
Arts & Humanities > Writing (Other) Is writing slowly becoming a lost art?: 25 of 42
Writing is hardly becoming a lost art, in fact more people are writing now than ever. But the real art of writing is the communication of intelligence. That has always been somewhat rare and now even with the Internet and universal access to public writing pages for everyone, communication and Intelligence instead of being en... More..
Arts & Humanities > Awareness & Reality If a tree falls in the woods and there's no one to hear it: 19 of 30
If a tree falls and someone hears it, how come there are no philosophical riddles to solve? perhaps we have been conditioned to take too much for granted. I suggest to you that we know nothing of the ultimate essence of a tree, sound, tree falling, a human or a human hearing the sound of a tree fall. All these seemingly self ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Pulitzer Center Does President Hugo Chavez's criticism of US policies represent popular sentiments in Venezuela, and perhaps Latin America at large?: 44 of 59
Chavez is, in spite of all his anti Capitalist West Rhetoric, just another Globalist shill doing his part to maintain the false dichotomy with fellow oil man George W Bush. The high profile disagreements, that get heavy media promotion, serve as a false fear factor in stimulating the rigged open oil markets where speculators ... More..
