Adventures of Vapor One

Magnificent. I’m the epitome of Magnificence. I got so many talents you’d think I was a circus freak. Fuck with me and I’ll tickle your heart. Think it’s a joke? Challenge me and I’ll shock and awe. Sometimes you just gotta see for yourself.

Baby, I got powers beyond comprehension and it ain’t just in the arts.

Let’s see. What is the meaning of life? I say it is to ask meaningless questions that we answer with motivating theories about how important something is in one way or another. So what is the meaning of death? To ask a new question.

That was way random. Am I macabre? Not really. Just really really playful. REALLY! PLAYFUL!

On with the show… How many people in the audience spend most of their free time (non-work/non-school related time) mindlessly viewing TV or the Web? Not me! While I don’t spend time in from of the TV, I do spend lots of time on the Net. Doin what? Well it ain’t porn!

Constant research. Into what? Into whatever. What was on the front page of Wikipedia today? I don’t really know, but I bet it would surely generate some interesting conversations with strangers if I looked into it a little moe. Those articles are usually filled with enough information to make you sound like you majored in the shit.

What was in the front page of Google news today? I’m not quite sure, but I bet it’s what most people who read newspapers would be talking about and what others who don’t would be surprised to hear. Look at me. I’m current.

I’m not slamming on the above. I would be doing that if I didn’t have my own direction. I usually spend my time googling a bunch of shit that I’m randomly curious about or SERIOUSLY curious about. I also spend time at the library because there are some really juicy books out there.

Otherwise, I’m secretly writing in my notebooks (about 2 70-page books a month) about how things are, how things should be, and how to get there.

Now. Of those in the audience mindlessly viewing… A challenge. Think of something random. Google it. Wikipedia it. And then… Blog about it. What? You’re not really that knowledgable about it? Fuck it! Write about what you just learned and what you think about it. And talk to your friends about it.

Now do it again.

Not quite. As many of my friends and associates are well aware, I often make statements about how people deserve the bad situations they are in or that they don’t deserve anything they don’t have. I often talk about how interesting it is that we aren’t paying attention to how the world is working, but insist that it work for us.

Well, for the official record, I believe in equality and unselfishness. While many of the things I say may sound terribly misanthropic or incredibly cynical, I only mean to stir thoughts about what is being spoken about.

Many conversations run in complete agreement even when we disagree. I try to disagree even when I agree. Not because what I’m saying is correct, but because no one is thinking about how to actually respond to “logical” arguments against things they believe in.

Logical arguments will always hold stronger sway when dealing with legal and political issus. Emotional arguments can’t be measured and often fail to hold any weight in the debate. “Yeah, maybe it’s nice for YOU, but what about everyone else?”

Hey everyone, I don’t hate you. And when I say there is no hope for us, I don’t mean it. If I honestly believed there were no hope, I’d be a terrorist. There is hope for whatever we dream. So when I’m pimping you with some bad ideas, hit me with some logic and don’t just sit quiet.

I love you guys! Peace!

This will be my next endeavor. My wife and I are in the talks of making some purchases so we can get into screen printing. The idea is to generate enough capital to open the Coffee Shop.

What a revolutionary, eh? Coffee, screen printing, next… who knows. Something to provide a voice to the people.

Wow! I’m really taken aback. Mom was only 52 when she passed away July of last year. I was so sad. And Michael Jackson was only 50 when he passed away today. This is sad news. Mom loved Michael Jackson. I did too when I was growing up. Him and Madonna were a major part of my upbringing.

May he rest in peace.

Create what? Change. People meet me and wonder, “Is that guy just crazy or am I just missing out on life?” I drink beer and make slamming ass beats in my office. I go to coffee shops and read my books while taking notes. I study on topics that interest me just to explore what the hell is going on.

I think you should, too. I’m not a “smart” guy. I’m just a curious guys that remembers a lot of what he’s read or heard. I don’t watch TV because it isn’t entertaining, not to be cool or go against the grain. I don’t go to clubs, because I feel weird dancing next to strangers. House parties are awesome, though.

I like to draw, but I haven’t drawn since I became unsingle. I like to write songs, but lately I’ve just made beats. I like to explore where technology can take us, but lately I’ve been trying to figure out how to enter the coffee shop market and how to generate startup capital.

So, it’s late and I should retire. Monica, I love you! Good night everyone.
