And another point about something random.... if musicians were not in the business for the money, then there wouldnt be this problem with napster. I mean, look at all the underground bands and some other mainstream, they dont care about it being free, they just want people to hear their music that would otherwise have no other way to hear it. Now i think that its partially the record companie's fault to, for being such greedy people who try to put a price on art. does anyone agree that music should be shared and not sold?
a reply i got to the above arguement: How do you expect musicians or other artists to live? Why shouldn't a
musician be able to sell their product or service any less than someone from
another profession? The point is that it's the artist's decision to decide
how their art is licensed, sold, given away, etc.

ok, dont tell me that they are not going to make ANY money if there is free music... i mean, most of us average people still buy cd's.
one person that really pissed me off through this whole napster thing was lars from metallica, they sold out and hes still not happy.
if musicians are trying to make a living off of thier music they should try touring to get attention and money. REAL people who actually do it for the LOVE of the music i think would understand where im coming from.
Thats my story and im stickin to it! ;)
Esta es LA dia De La indepencia or some shiznit, who cares.. why celebrate this corrupted government all run by money... Which brings me to the thing that has been on my mind a lot lately... Is money causing more problems than it should? I mean, people value those green IOU notes WAAAY too much sometimes. You should focus on the things you get and give to and from people rather than the money.. I mean sure its nice to be able to buy stuff, but what are you gonna do with most of it? lose it, break it, or is it edible? I hardly ever spend money on things other than necessities, i hate the way our economy has been developed to run on greed instead of love.

Sorry it's been a couple days, I kinda got jumped... I feel like shit, it was 2 people versus me, and im a relatively small person... and the two girls that jumped me are BUTCH.... all they do is go around looking for people to fight.. You know that's wrong to go around spreading hate in the world like that, you shouldnt try to create all that negativity... which is why i do not wish to retaliate, that and the fact that she has WAAAy more people than me!

It's not even July yet... SUmmer is not even half way over, yet I am bored to tears of it. I almost got kicked out the other day... my mom is so stupid sometimes. So now I am still here at home, nothing has changed.. there is still constant hostility towards each other.. This feeling gets old .-deftones

Well another day I asked myself, "Why should I sit here and wait?" What was I waiting for this whole time? An answer I'm sure, an answer to something would have been nice. Some kind of thought that was reassuring to live on. That was all I wanted, me and everyone else in this world, okay everyone except the rich. But, I come back to my point of "Why does it have to be this way?" I can't do anything else I'm all out of power now. Power that cannot be replenished for it is only found in words. And when words fail what can we do? Human nature is to resort to violence….
All the negative things arise due to lack of effective words. Then the strongest survive, Just like all the time they always survive. Past present and future all show to us the natural selection law in effect. Not so much strongest by brute or by force, but strongest by power and thoughts. Wits. And such. But then you have the idea of peace and love. No wars. How can we live on peace and love with so many things to get angry about? Well, we can't. This is probably the reason the human race is soon bound to fall apart.
How can natural selection take its place if we try to love? Well, you must get rid of the differences. And what are the differences? Ideas created in our mind. And are all of our minds the same? Nope, and thus is the reason that peace between two warring bodies is difficult unless they can share the same opinion. Well now that I have figured out the secret of ending things, which would be the power of persuasion I guess. WAIT there's that word again- POWER. Another thing that the human race seeks besides answers. Ok maybe the ONLY other thing we seek besides answers. If you think about it, people are either doing things in life to get further ahead of the rest, or to provide a pathway to bigger things and the ultimate happiness.
If you spend your whole life looking for power, you will end in greed, because the thing you cherish most will always be taken away. That is why you should not cherish such things as they cannot be replaced easily. For instance, if you love your money and belongings, you can lose them all in a split second. If you love music and art, you can’t lose that, It’s a part of you. Ok back to my original statement of "Why do things have to be this way?" Are we really in control of our own destiny if we hate our lives so much? No because I know if I was in control of it I wouldn’t be so mad right now. I'd love to think of a way to get everything perfect, for everyone… kind of my contribution to mankind. But that’s not really possible huh? Well maybe if I sit here and think long enough I can fix the world. Doesn’t everyone dream of that? No, not the people that have everything, because they are blinded to the fact that a fantasy life does not exist for the majority. And nor do they care I'm sure.
But why care at all? Why care about anything? I mean we are JUST one little part of this human race bound to fail. Why don’t I just end it all now… yeah I think that a lot. It’s true because one person cannot do a single thing when they are surrounded by people who don’t care, and who see everything through a covered lens called their own point of view, which to them is always correct. God I hate those kinds of people!
And I said to myself "why does it have to be this way?" and there was never an answer. I don’t think that there will ever be an answer to such questions that begin with 'why'. Everything always leads to the worst, then the best, but if it never reaches the best what is there left in life? Nothing, I come to think of a life of dismay and betrayal. Are these things my fault? No. What is a victim of circumstance to do? I think we're supposed to sit here and watch our life roll by with everyone else's pathetic ones.

i have been sitting here thinking a lot... about a lot of things lately.. and the most logical sounding thing i have come up with yet is as follows: BUt hol on, please excuse me if someone else does have this idea, which i am almost certain they do :) but if they do these are my views on the matter anyways.:
Do we as humans strive to achieve perfection? i mean.. we are always thinking of makin things the BEST they can get. Is perfection possible?.. well i guess that all depends on our own personal veiws of perfection. if you are easily pleased, then yes perfection is possible. if you are never happy, then no perfection is not possible. ANd thus is the subject that brings me to my next point-- good Ol MARy JAne ;) weed makes you easily happy. if you think about it.. arent people who are always high always happy? so, if weed makes u happy ,then it must be easy to get thinhs perfect right? HM.. i guess this would be the point i am tryign to make-- humans want perfection weed makes you happy u feel perfect if ur happy.

ANd i thought yes because this is wut i kinda wanna be doing, so you know what it all means? Happiness not money. U can be happy as long as you get all you want, and not the unnessecary extra petty things. ok im out.
