Life of a blogger

I've heard many places on the Internet that one of the best ways to make your blog better is to post at least once a day. I managed to keep that up for about 2 days. Ah well, at least I got that bit of angst out of my system....

I'm not even sure the direction this blog is going to take, primarily this is currently a political blog ( 2/3 posts), and it's an important part of what drives me, but with the great majority of the population, we don't survive on a single issue. I've lurked on the websites of left blogosphere before it became cool, and it was amazing; to watch the path of the greatest nation one earth change for the better. To actually know that you looked at the moment when the butterfly of chaos flapped it wing and started the change of events that moved nations, that you might have glimpsed a flash of how it all works; there is no mental high like that, it's like freebasing God. I can see why there are so many cranks and would-be prophets out there.

Of course there is always the come-down, I watched and learned and did nothing. A bit of wisdom there, as anyone who has been out here for a while knows you lurk on a board for a while before you post. Being bit repeatedly as a child, teenager and young adult on grandiose ideals, I've learned to be cautious with my passions, to worry when the universe seems to be aligning with what I feel. I also worry that I'm not being aggressive enough, how is that for angst?

But still is there is that rush... when the stars align, when the crowd turns with you, when lady luck smiles, when you make the goal to win the game, when the universe reveals its secrets in subtle splendor. When in all of the confusion of the world falls away: you see clearly, act clearly, feel clearly, and actually do the right thing. If somebody could do that every second of the day, in an day they could save a life, in a month they could be hero, in a year they could be important, and in a lifetime they could change the world, forever. It's what I personally consider "The Divine State" and those who have managed to attain it for sustained periods of time have changed the world in profound manners.

Still, those who I think have managed to reach that state of being a significant part of the time are pretty famous: Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Patton, Einstein, Alexander the great, Archimedes, Michael Jordan, Plato, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and M.L.K to name a few. Some were able to attain The State more fully than others, some managed to maintain The State longer too. It's those moments of clarity and understanding that sear the soul, you could almost call it an "monolith moment" AKA 2001, where the chimp holds a bone in his hand and sees how he can change the world.

Agh.. too late to expound further.... Need to get to sleep for my meat-job tomorrow. We ain't done with this *points finger to all you out there*

Edit: minor changes since I finished this post at about 2AM last night
