The Sky Is The Limit

Sometimes you feel lost, as if you are drifting in space, and you feel like the gravity of the sun or the stars is sucking you away from the earth, and slowly you begin to suffocate, and just at that moment. HOPE springs eternal giving you a lifeline, no matter how slim, it is there and you cling onto it, harder and stronger then ever before. You now have a path to success and you do everything to make sure that it stays as open as possible, and that entails you clearing all other thoughts from your mind, and then, just then, there is a song that blasts over your I-Pod

And you know that imma ride with my motherfuckin niggas,
Most likely imma die with my finger on the trigga,
Don't worry bout mine, imma grind til i get it
And tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,
The sky is the limit,

You lie down to bed, and think that no matter what happens you will have an option down the line....

BUT FUCK THAT

Lil Wayne says it best, the fucking sky is the limit, and if you do not grind till you get it then you do not deserve it

The only thing on a mind of a shark, is eat

and that alone makes you feel like there is something more, that you deserve it, as if you might be dwayne wadem and fuck the bullshit, but you are the best, and you do fucking deserve the best.

However, this is real life, and you aint no fucking DWAYNE WADE, you are a fucking punk, or so you think, you do not believe in you. After all, D-Wade is a an all star and you aint nothing

Don't worry bout mine, imma grind till i get it
And tell all of my niggas that the sky is the limit,
Because the sky is the limit,
Yeah, the sky is the limit,
And If you look high, you'll see that im goin be in it,
Cuz the sky is the limit,
They tell me dont get high, n i should try to make a living,
I tell em imma hustler n id rather make a killin
Cuz the sky is the limit,
Hands up in the air, because the sky is the limit,
Can you see me up there? The sky is the limit,

Yet the man says "The sky is the limit" so you think maybe it is possible, but you do not let it hit it you. You do not believe it, to do so would make you a punk just like all the other times you have believed it, and have been let down and felt as if the sky was not the limit, rather the weight of the world falling on your shoulders and crushing you beneath its weight and expectations. Yet for some reason you think that this time will be different but, who the fuck are you to know anything? You are a punk, a kid, a brat who just hopes for a chance to show that he has something worth of value within himself, some redeeming quality that can change the world. An idea that will make OBAMA blush.

Beyond your means?
Is it
Inside your dreams?
Can it
Never come out cause it's scared to
Unprepared to
Too worried about the words of the people it's weird to
You don't want them to hear you
You just wish there was a door that would appear that you can go disappear through

Then the phone rings, your world is on hold. You are frozen as the words get spoken, and you hope against every bone in your body that you will not disappear through that door. and somehow you manage to hear the words, that idea, from their side, that you are special, that you are worth something, and then you know

The sky is the limit

Ask questions

We were told that if we put our heads down, worked hard in high school, studied, went to class, paid attention that we would go to a good college. That should of tipped us off, it was the first lie they told us. Then they said, you will find yourself in college, but keep a good GPA, study hard, party hard on weekends, keep up with your work, do an internship or two, endear yourself to professors, graduate on time with some sort of honors, and you will get a good job, and life will flow smoothly from there. What a crock of shit. At that point we should have known something was up. Then they tell you to get a credit card, spend reasonably on it, within your means, build your credit, create a home, it is all good for when you need to get a mortgage on a house or a loan for that first car you buy in your name, and you follow, again alarm bells should be ringing at this point. Still you listen and follow the path. You get a car you cannot afford, because the dealer convinces you that really you can with some ‘fuzzy math’ and there you go, you get that nice pink slip within a few weeks. CONGRATULATIONS! Welcome to the world. Oh and before we forget, just wait, just wait till you see the bill you will get in about 25 years courtesy of what your current leaders, politicians, business men, lobbyists, and of course parents. Enjoy the rest of your life, because you will spend it paying off the excess and fuckups of the baby boomers and your parents, all because we are the least involved generation, who just tunes out, and gets the shortest end of the stick. Wake up guys. Start noticing that today’s decisions, bailouts, tax cuts, will be paid by YOU, China has no interest in acquiring more US debt, it is going to come out of your living standards, your paycheck and your hours spent at work away from your children to pay back today’s problems. We will be the first generation that has a lower standard of living in modern history.
Ask questions about how the $700 billion is going to be paid back? Why is no question being asked about bank management and their ridiculous bonuses and questionable decisions, but the Detroit crowd is getting killed for less than 5% of the money that was given to Wall St. And why does anyone let a bunch of Senators who are in the pocket of Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, and whose only goal is to LOWER wages of workers…how on earth does this make sense to anyone in the middle of a recession, why is no one writing letters to these idiots?

Experience

You know what really irritates me: the catch-22 in life, that to get a damn job you need experience, but the only way to get a job is to get experience. It is such a stupid run around, and it has happened to me so many times here in Croatia already, where they say they want a young new worker, and end up hiring some middle aged guy who has experience. Do not get me wrong experience is not bad, but in a place like Croatia, and really all over the world these days, the same old ideas and methods just do not work. You need fresh ideas, approaches, creative new methods, and a new way of thinking. But it is so rare that any actual firm realizes this and instead they plow on with the status quo. The best way to see the folly of this is to look at all the biggest firms that were created in the last 25 years. Yahoo, Google, Amazon, Oracle, Dell etc, they were all started by fresh out of college kids, or even in college kids. Why because they have ideas and are aware of what is needed and how to go about filling those needs, they have new ideas for a new generation, unencumbered by people telling them that this wont work, we have to do it like this, it has always been done like this and so on. Really give me 5 companies that have sprung up in the last 25 years that revolutionized anything that were the brainchild of some 45 year old manager who has experience. Simple fact is that they are few and far between, at 45 you do not take risks and you are not inventive, whereas while you are young, you are at the forefront of everything. You set the trends, you create the initial wave of demand, you are the IT demographic, so it makes sense that if you wish to grow your business you should really consult those people who are a part of the generation that in the next 10 years will become your market, if any company is to achieve long term success the first thing they should do is realize that everything works on a generational cycle, and they should be planning to best suit the needs of the upcoming one. How do you do that? Get talented people from that generation to work for you, they are the ones who understand the mentality of their peers and they are the ones who know what products, services and needs are most likely to arise as they have a need for those products and services.

That is the problem in life, rarely are young people taken seriously, that is until they are the ones who are now middle aged and out of touch. Most struggles of such enterprising firms such as yahoo, microsoft, amazon, etc stems mainly from the fact that their founders have reached middle age, and are no longer able to anticipate and be on the cutting edge of development for the new generations. Then just like in politics and sports the same cast of characters that has 'experience' gets brought in to solve the problem, however they only tend to make it worse. Why? A complete and total lack of new ideas, it is like a merry go round of people who were IT for a different generation, but lacked the foresight to train the succeeding generation, because they are as always convinced of their own grandeur and limitless talents. Yet for some reason the same people keep getting the jobs, just like the NBA where usually there are a total of 45 coaches that just spin the wheel of employment, same in soccer, same in politics (the same tired old advisers, with the same old ideas) and same in business (where else could robert nardelli get a job so soon after destroying home depot so badly, and not only that, but get a job running Chrysler, as if HE could save the titanic, i mean honestly, there was no one else willing to take the job or what?)

WAKE UP PEOPLE, WHAT CUT IT 20 YEARS AGO JUST DOES NOT WORK TODAY!

Nightblindness

Recently the cold has been on my mind a lot and how it makes me feel and all the little emotions that come with it, this may be strange but it is amazing that if you stop for a moment and in complete silence contemplate something. I know it is hard if you live in a city or there is a constant stream of noise emanating from all sides, so maybe take a walk to a park at night, or get up at an odd time of the night, open the window and just soak it in. The silence. It is overpowering. Magnificent and it is amazing how much clearer everything is. My gym is above a docking station for rowing equipment, and right next to a giant lake, surrounded by trees and open fields on both sides. That is it is in total isolation, or so it feels like, but even more importantly that is what it sounds like. So as I walked home a few nights ago, after working out to some loud music on the iPod, I decided to silence my permanent companion. Then it hit me, complete and utter silence. The cold was slowly numbing my legs, I was wearing shorts in 0 degree weather, but it was also providing me with the most refreshing air, in which each breath felt more alive than the preceding one. The lights in the distance, from buildings and a new arena being constructed, and from a few lamps was illuminating the rowing track in the most wonderful way. My mind was at peace, and breathing the cold air allowed me to realize something: We see the night as darkness and uncertainty as the unknown, the fear, a time for monsters and danger to run free. However I saw it completely differently this time, I saw it as beautiful, it transformed a muddy ugly puddle into a magnificent collection of leaves on semi frozen water that was a reflective black color and was immeasurably more magnificent then the sun could ever make it. The surrounding buildings are of the drab variety, made of concrete in a gray shade with small windows that are usually covered and decaying façade’s it is a sight for sore eyes during the day. Yet they look beautiful at night, there is no sense of it being decaying, the lights from inside cause a wonderful glow to be cast around the area, and the building loses all sense of its boring coloring and becomes something of a shaded artistic drawing with differing lights making it appear as so much more. The night rubs out the small imperfections in us and all around us, it sets us free from those blemishes and less us bask in our own light, allows us to change and be something else, something more than before—a collection of reflections, shades and illuminations—something the sun can never grant us. So here I am with a new sense of appreciation for perfect silence, cold weather, and the night (with no life tacked onto the back of it), who would have ever thought. So next time that you walk down a poorly lit alley or street, look at the windows and the walls and admire how it looks and the way that it too gets to hide its imperfections just like we do.

Once

An amazing song, the video i think was created by someone else. I do no believe it is anything official.

The song is called "Once" and it is by a South African Band called Henry Ate.

I was at the gym yesterday and a Lil Wayne song came on "I feel like dying" and as soon as I heard the background sample I knew I had to find this track, so within 5 minutes courtesy of google I had my answer.

bittersweet

Its quite a thing to get used to the cold. It is liberating and awakening, on the other hand, it is bitter and merciless.

Moments feel like an eternity as the wind streaks across your face and leaves it feeling alive and dead at the same time, and only when you touch it do you notice that in fact it is stiff and frozen in place. Your hands come out of the warm pockets to write a text message and before you are two words in, you notice that you do not feel how hard you have pressed the button and there is a sense of numbness you keep going, because in some perverse way that numbness feels more alive then anything else. The feeling of not feeling allows you to know that you are real, that you feel. Only when we lose something do we manage to realize how essential it is to our being, to who we are. The cold manages to make me feel more alive then the sun ever could, which is perverse for the sun gives me life, however the cold makes me realize I am alive. There is also an unspoken freedom in it being freezing and you not caring, unzipping the jacket, removing the beanie, spreading your arms and just letting go, letting the cold wash over you and only using your soul to warm your body. Everyone should try this, it is an amazing feeling. Respecting the adversary.

Other times, the cold is lashing at you with such ferocity that it makes you wish you were never alive to feel its misery. It chill's your bones to the point of where you are not sure you are or if you wish to be. It breeds a feeling of isolation from your fellow warriors, as everyone is huddled in bundles appearing as a furry balls from a distance. Getting up to walk to the bakery half awake with that morning breath still in your mouth, despite your best tooth brushing effort, when you know that a warm bed is still an option, is the cruelest moment of the day. The idea, that here you are still in dreamland trying to recall what it was your mind was so fixated on a mere 10 minutes ago as you step outside and, it hits you like a punch to the face, except a punch lasts a moment, the cold is there to stay, stinging you. So you brave it, try to embrace it and thus overcome it, but your mind is not in the same place in the morning as it is in the evening, and you struggle with the beast. Knowing you will prevail, but wondering why is the fight so bitter everyday, why is there a need for it. Where is the acceptance and accord that is reached in the evening in the morning. War.

I make a truce every evening with the cold, we embrace, confess our love for one another and leave the other at that moment. I go into my warm apartment, get under the covers and bask in the warmth. The cold moves on, readying for another fight. When it is time to leave the apartment in the morning, I forget last night, the cold does too, and we are at war once again. Perhaps the peace is reached because we know that we are done with each other for the day. And in recognition of the fight, respect for the adversary causes the truce.War. Respect.
