MY PERSONA RELOADED - My blog dedicated to figuring life out. After so long thinking I knew it all, I realized I knew nothing anymore. It's back to basics for me, and so this blog is dedicated to (re)learning the basics, while telling my life stories and showing why I can never get bored with these seemingly random series of events. Knowledge is power, and everything you know is wrong. My mission is to identify these basics in order to make the most out of life, as I aim for total balance.
“Plans are nothing; planning is everything.” - Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States
Here I am, once again. I’ve been in this spot before. The time where
plans don’t work out like you want them to and I’m left changing things last
minute. Hey, I’m not upset. In fact, I’ve been kind of expecting this and I
actually welcome a bit of change. Too much of the same thing can be boring
anyway. Change isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
I know this is kind of straying away from the whole
"life lessons" theme, but I figure I could spice things up while
keeping with it, although seemingly off-topic.
I believe that we're always responsible for our own actions,
and that the world of the present is a result of how much we contribute to it
(or don't contribute to it). Now that I'm older, I see things though a
different perspective. For example, as a kid I used to love the cartoon Batman
Beyond. It was an alternate world that's supposed to be in the future where it
had changed greatly, yet you can tell that it's still the same world of Gotham
City because it still has the underpinnings of any present-day metropolis. It
makes for great fiction, but now more than 10 years have passed since that
cartoon premiered. Who would've known that while it was fiction, it basically
predicted what was going to happen to the world in the future of today. The intro gives you a good feel about the happenings of the future.

It's exactly one week after the Election Day. Obama won a second term as President, gay marriage was cleared for legalization in 4 more states (in addition to the 6 existing plus the District of Columbia), and government-controlled marijuana for recreational use was legalized in Washington and Colorado. It seems like a great deal of progress was made during this past election, right? Not according to some certain people like this, who apparently can't even define what a communist exactly is:
This prompts a few questions for me? Have people REALLY done their homework when it comes to important political issues, or do they just resort to name calling for something they don't like and/or not understand? That's like making fun of a person with Down syndrome because he/she is retarded. What IS a communist exactly? It's nothing a dictionary can't fix so let's get started!
