What you think and what you feel is all that is left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A pain, torture to your nerves, leaves a mark. It tells its story and falls through time, fails you every time. It provides your mind a physical attribute. It’s the aching remedy to loss of memory. The art of manifestation is being reborn. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/422414199983727542-3594538075083507658?l=chaoticrat.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chaoticrat.blogspot.com/feeds/3594538075083507658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=422414199983727542&amp;postID=3594538075083507658&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/422414199983727542/posts/default/3594538075083507658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/422414199983727542/posts/default/3594538075083507658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chaoticrat.blogspot.com/2009/08/manifest-reality.html' title='Manifest Reality'/><author><name>Jonny Vendetta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11240668937480089318</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422414199983727542.post-8669426503005512514</id><published>2009-07-29T19:11:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-29T19:13:46.235-05:00</updated><title type='text'>This Corridor</title><content type='html'>This Corridor, has been cheapened,&lt;br /&gt;by the past.

So very fascinating the computations of the brain, but why can we only have a glimpse of comprehension of the mind. Why is it that we cannot wrap ourselves around it? Maybe this comes with our next evolution, the next leap of emotional response. To arrive at emotional conclusions based on rational thought. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;---Faster than you can possibly imagine, and oddly enough it is you---&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;What is this and what does it do?&lt;br /&gt;What is the threat level?&lt;br /&gt;What are my benefits of interacting with it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Program runs: Compiling all possible scenarios.&lt;br /&gt;                                  Which is the most likely scenario to exist in the reality you perceive.&lt;br /&gt;                                  Form rational thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is how we form a rational thought from emotional response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are animals, this much is obvious, but why we are so unwilling to admit this is somewhat fleeting. We are malleable, as are our brains, and therefore the ultimate mind. If we can reverse the synaptic operation to form an emotional response from rational thought it would give us the advantage of more precise predictions of the immediate and possibly distant future. The ability of this precision will enable us to act more appropriately and in turn gain the advantage of any situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our emotions will be powerful tools, more control will be acquired, and less acts of primal aggression and other harmful acts will subdue. There are many people strong in this nature, but are usually cast high or low in the spiritual food chain. I personally am uncertain of how spirituality will play out in the coming years through our evolution, but I do believe it is possible for the understanding that certain physiological efforts can produce spiritual perception.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Language is Illusory</title><content type='html'>It seems sometimes that words and ideas are not anything at all. You can say one thing and mean another, while being something completely different. The electrical connections, the rapid impulse that comprise our thoughts, are there to form a singular presence. When we express ourselves, is it solely ourselves we are expressing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I were to say to a religious man that he were God, he would not simply modestly disagree, he would take it as an insult, a blasphemous proposition. But if I were to say God is in all of us, he would smile and nod in profound understanding. Are these two philosophies not redundant? Where did we lose the ability to express ourselves and the mind as a whole? It has become so strict to some, maybe most, to speak of certain things in more than one context and be in agreement with both. Pick one side, pick a color, pick and choose. When you do we all lose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goal of life is not to tread water waiting to be saved. Nor is the trick to learn to swim. The key is to rise above and walk on the water. Be your own God. Save yourself. But do recall that no man is an island, and when the weight of others starts to bring us down, we must hold our breath, close our eyes, and know that when we are ready to breathe and start anew, we become fish.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/422414199983727542-2144555027799381384?l=chaoticrat.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chaoticrat.blogspot.com/feeds/2144555027799381384/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=422414199983727542&amp;postID=2144555027799381384&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/422414199983727542/posts/default/2144555027799381384'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/422414199983727542/posts/default/2144555027799381384'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chaoticrat.blogspot.com/2008/03/language-is-illusory.html' title='Language is Illusory'/><author><name>Jonny Vendetta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11240668937480089318</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422414199983727542.post-372858940476642514</id><published>2008-03-03T09:22:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2008-03-03T09:37:18.906-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Vertical Horizons</title><content type='html'>My head is spinning.

I view this as close to what the ancient Greeks called a Muse. A source of inspiration, a way to purify the soul, and expand the mind. By admiring those qualities that you find intriguing in others, a stem of creativity is sure to blossom. Of course superficial intent is not completely false, the typical feelings of a human can only be conjured by such an animal. The metaphors that surround specific feelings provide greater balance by every reader that absorbs and interprets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my current muse so that I may be yours as well.&lt;br

all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;The feeling comes, for a while, you follow through.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It's no wonder you're blinded by what shines so bright.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;You try to fight it but never seem to have your might.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Lost in your head, sick in bed, falling faster than you ever knew.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br

never alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Explain to me why the gears are turning, what exactly are we learning?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;It was never clear, if you were near, my heart disguised my love with fear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;As each day goes on by, I feel a spark, coming alive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I want to tell you, but I cannot speak, my mind tells me to wait a week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I lost the feeling, for a while, but I'll get it back when you follow through.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you see, between the trees&lt;br /&gt;The sheets that make up each page&lt;br /&gt;Of the book in which you look&lt;br /&gt;To find the answers, that come with age&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It keeps you up, puts you to sleep&lt;br /&gt;It's what you want to sweep you off your feet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing is real, life is surreal&lt;br /&gt;So how is it that we feel?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To love another is to love oneself&lt;br /&gt;But this is not the

cosmic waves upon which we ponder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naive gestures,&lt;br /&gt;Unnecessary measures,&lt;br /&gt;Leave us bound to our innocent pleasures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If not but as two

Earlier this year during the filming of his latest film, The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins, a crew member died in a car crash while doing a test run of the Bat-mobile. Rumors circulated at the time that there was a curse to come along with making such a bold movie. Going back to the roots of the Batman saga, which was taken from ancient stories of vigilantes, but modernized to criticize the capitalist world. The use of such a powerful hero brought about certain realities in the world, one of which is thought to be a curse. Could the late-Joker be victim to the same curse?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/422414199983727542-6772877495024776283?l=chaoticrat.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chaoticrat.blogspot.com/feeds/6772877495024776283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=422414199983727542&amp;postID=6772877495024776283&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/422414199983727542/posts/default/6772877495024776283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/422414199983727542/posts/default/6772877495024776283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chaoticrat.blogspot.com/2008/01/ledger-dies-from-batman-curse.html' title='Ledger Dies from Batman Curse.'/><author><name>Jonny Vendetta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11240668937480089318</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422414199983727542.post-2808411285825293126</id><published>2007-12-05T22:35:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-05T23:37:12.477-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Ask questions.</title><content type='html'>There was just a shooting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, take a moment to help the loss of life not go in vain.&lt;br /&gt;Ask questions.&lt;br /&gt;Make conclusions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9 dead.&lt;br /&gt;5 injured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A shaggy haired, self deprecating young man took an assault riffle into a mall and sprayed into the crowd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The media scrambles.&lt;br /&gt;They send their vans, their crews, they get the graphics, then they hit the start button on their washing machines.

The internet is booming with bloggers going on about what happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ask, what does this mean in the terror-stricken America?&lt;br /&gt;Malls are one of the few places that don't search through every item we carry in. Because of this, the mall is filled with different cultures. The punks who hang out, stare, laugh, linger, and loiter. They frequent Spencer's and Hot Topic, and sulk around in corners. The consumer, who is there to shop, shop, shop. They tend to be overweight and ill-informed about the products they are buying. Then there are the couples from every crowd, the fashion whores, the giddy pre-teens, the giddy teens, and the giddy-young adults.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we come in with our small belongings, and don't get nor need to be searched.&lt;br /&gt;Soon, will there be searches on our property as we enter malls? Strip Malls? Every store?&lt;br /&gt;If the punks don't have the ability to wear their metal, it would take away from their culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So on so forth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think. Ask.

didn't see it the same, so what did I do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I held you close, I gave you notes, with love abound.&lt;br /&gt;Saved you when you need saving, when you needed me I was around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I treated you like you treated us so long ago, it's all I knew.&lt;br /&gt;Now me being there and being sincere isn't hard to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're in this distant land, so very far at hand, called Meandyou.&lt;br /&gt;It's just you and me, separately, or don't you see?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm your friend I am, that guy, who held you high,&lt;br /&gt;who told and tells you of your beauty, oh those lovely eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So realize, I'm on your side, I'll lift you up,&lt;br /&gt;why can't that be enough?&lt;div
