Dragon ball and Enlightenment

-

 Keep moving forward towards the direction of your soul. Towards the person you want to be. Towards the light like a northern star that shapes your path.


Dragon ball was very important to me as a kid. It gave me a religious (though I view it as idolatry now) kind of hope. Later Chrono Trigger with its Dr Who meets Dragon Ball Aesthetic rocked my world to its core. I think Chrono Trigger is as close to an objective masterpiece as video-games have ever gotten.


But so much of what is communicated is projected as we grow and we attribute that growth to the lattices of art that inspires us.


What was so inspirational about DB? It was the idea that hard work paid off. That dedication to a task, a dream, an aspiration was all we needed as a posture towards the universe to succeed.


If faith is a posture towards God that we know our place and will continue in that place towards the future and whatever he expects of us.


Then hope is a posture towards faith that ultimately life is worth living. We march onwards towards a personal climax that we may never arrive at but the carrot on the stick of hope keeps us with our broken hearts marching onwards towards something that is better than giving up.


Giving up is death. Death is the enemy. We march onwards with our faith and hope trying to find a place where even the little life’s find peace.


I hope you continue on your journey today.


Peace and love.

  Mason Andrew Freak (or simply Drew) sat in his empty room without posters, without toys, basically empty except for a bed. Though he was not sitting on the bed he was in his closet (a metaphor [possibly!]) crying over the warhammer 2nd edition of the chador codex crying…. He had taken down all of his posters of Digimon adventure, dragon ball z,   and ff7. He was twelve years old and almost four hundred pounds, he wasn’t even sure he could get out of the closet he was sitting in. He would turn on his flashlight and stare at john Blanche art and dream such horrific beautiful rock n roll dreams! Trying to escape the reality that was the last time he left his parent’s house. A friend of his dad said “are you single my daughter just broke up with her boyfriend.” The daughter “He is half my age and twice my size.” So little mason went home and tore down all his posters and dreamed beautiful dark dreams. Not knowing he would eventually write over a thousand songs about the th...

On subjectivity and doubt.

  When faced with artificial rhetoric pushing false narratives the educated mind is inclined towards doubt. The uneducated mind more towards confidence, for it has now been told what it has waited for. That it is indeed the protagonist of a plot against the grand machinations of history and will uproot the status quo of progressive wild behavior like Wearig a baseball cap backwards and not being filled with inferiority and guilt when a drunken chef in from the army gets angry when you don’t take it off during the national anthem (this may be very specific haha). When you can’t tell when’s video is AI generated or not… things become dangerous because of the choice of the ignorant to be encouraged by “look out for your own interests” and “not sink the life boat” we need to take serious  ether the lack of media education in being able to discern facts from “ alternative facts ”. Because when these alternative (false beliefs)  are held as viable and objective. What we...

  For the second time today the clocks around the world stopped. First there was the threat of world war three then the bombs dropped. The mushroom clouds swallowed all of history in a few bites. Yet the poor bastard... Edward Blue-water had a girl on his mind. Things were not over maybe especially in the afterlife. His daughter was supposed to be born today. He was running next to his wife as the doctor's wheeled her toward the maternity ward. She was screaming at him. "I don't care what I said to better damn well give me some painkillers or I will get drunk on your blood!" "That's it honey just keep breathing, that's right deep breaths." Said Edward. "I swear to the most high I will make you pay for putting me in this situation." Said his wife. That was the last thing she said before the mushroom clouds sang their song. A quire of destruction in the temple of tomorrow. His daughter was a late term abortion as were any of his hopes for the...
