I am going to drop some philosophy on everyone today. I don't know about you but I get sick of people blaming the world and their surrounds for their problems. I have currently adapted an existential view of my life. Existentialism says that you are the only sole proponent that is in charge of your existence. Therefore all your choices and freedoms are defined by yourself. In this form of philosophy there is no blaming your professor for your bad test grade. You should have studied more!

The main principle behind this philosophical movement is that whether you make a good or a bad choice, that choice will define yourself. Choice is all that we have, without confirmation of our acts.

Existentialism goes a little further by stating that anything outside of your existence is considered nothingness. Therefore the tree in the forest that makes the sound when it falls down is considered nothingness. I personally agree with this way of thinking because I feel that I am in charge of my destiny and everything else is nothingness.

I dont care if it rains or freezes, as long as I got my plastic Jesus

Want some enlightenment? Stop being a consumer tool. I hear you think you need an iPhone now.... Why? Because you saw a commercial for it. Think of what a pawn people have become to Apple over the last year. They have one successful project out of 5000 and now people are willing to buy anything they put out.
