After being gone all weekend, the minute I got home all our animals started showering me with love. It was really strange. These three chics ran straight to me and almost got punted across the yard, but then I realized they just wanted to follow me around until I fed up. It was awesome, really. And I’m so glad I held off on punting them. They turned out to be interesting little homies.

I know. I know that I shall never again meet anything or anybody who will inspire me with passion. You know, it’s quite a job starting to love somebody. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness. There is even a moment, in the very beginning, when you have to jump across a precipice: if you think about it you don’t do it. I know I’ll never jump again.NAUSEA [1938] Jean-Paul Sartre

Every thought contains energy that is sent out to the universe and recreated within our societal mandlebrot as the “now”. Many people diagnosed with ADD and ADHD, have a difficult time focusing on anything they find mundane, such as school, rules and authority figures (or anyone, in general) who cannot relate or understand them. There are many more undiagnosed cases of ADD and ADHD where people feel this same anomaly.
People with ADD and ADHD learn coping skills to deal with this “disorder”. In school, a child can sit in front of the class, away from any windows. The teacher can tap the child on the shoulder if he or she notices the child drifting away from the subject being taught. If allowed in school, the student can chew gum which also helps people with ADD or ADHD maintain focus.
As with any other medical issue, I would advise going with what your physician prescribes but in the case of ADD and ADHD, I believe it’s an over-prescribed and diagnosed “disorder” that has a definitive spiritual purpose and can be easily be controlled with coping skills.
Ironically, those with ADD and ADHD tend to think outside the box as their minds are constantly wandering. They’re usually creative in the art and music field and have no problem maintaining focus when their minds are occupied on something they love to do. They will come up with ideas that are so outside-the-box that others will initially discredit their ideas because the ideas are too advanced and cannot be described articulately enough for others to understand the end results. They are often innocently forgetful and have a difficult time remembering things, past or present.
They often have a difficult time fitting into cliques and can relate to almost every clique, but many not want to be part of any of them, distancing themselves from any possible karmic debt associated with these cliques.
Some are described as “scattered,” loners or wanderers who are trying to find others who are like them or people who can accept them for who they are without conforming to societal standards.
Many feel confused as to why they have ADD or ADHD and cannot understand why other people have such an easy time remembering past or recent thoughts. -

To everyone so outraged about Trayvon Martin, please meet Abdul al-Awlaki. Notice his birth certificate, he’s an American, born in Colorado.
Abdul was a 16 year old American citizen that was murdered on orders of our very own President. His crime? That his father was a suspected Al Qaida member.
Unlike the Trayvon Martin situation there is no grey area here. This teenager was specifically targeted and killed because of his religious and ethnic background and who his family was.
He committed no crime, he was guilty of nothing yet he was murdered by a drone strike.
WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU PEOPLE WHEN THIS TEENAGER WAS MURDERED?
WHERE WERE YOU PEOPLE WHEN THE SAME PRESIDENT WHO SCORED POLITICAL POINTS COMMENTING ON ONE TEENAGERS DEATH ORDERED THE DEATH OF ANOTHER AMERICAN TEEN?
You look foolish. You look uniformed, you look ignorant because you are. In one situation we have what appears to be an extremely unfortunate, tragic mistake and we have Congressmen on the house floor wearing hoodies and thousands protesting and screaming for justice.
On the other hand you have a child who was intentionally targeted and assassinated on the orders of the President yet you turn a blind eye. This country makes my stomach turn.

The Pacific nation of Kiribati is negotiating to buy land in Fiji so it can move islanders under threat from rising sea levels, in what could be the first climate-induced relocation of a country.
Anote Tong, the Kiribati President, said he was in talks with Fiji’s military government to buy up to 2000 hectares of freehold land on which his 113,000 countrymen could resettle.
[…]
”This is the last resort, there’s no way out of this one,” Mr Tong said. ”Our people will have to move as the tides have reached our homes and villages.”

It’s time to start seriously talking about climate change. It should have never gotten to this point.
Yet so many people are still convinced climate change is a ‘liberal hoax’…
I’m completely dumbfounded at how people can deny that our actions as industrialized human beings actually do have consequences. Wake up and smell the roses people, before we kill them, and everything else, all off! -fuck-](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0qf1bzveW1qzhl7go1_500.gif)

I’m sorry, but I have to say this. This isn’t going to make me very popular among many of my readers, but I’m not here to be popular. In fact, I’m sure my business partners won’t particularly like what I’m about to say either.
If you are looking for pure and unadulterated evil, Joseph Kony is nothing more than a misplaced feeling. Kony is simply the focus of people who want to do something good and spread awareness of a cause. For their ingenuity, I’ll give the organizers of Kony 2012 a pat on the back - congratulations to you entitled recent college grads living in a bubble. You’ve engaged one of the most clever and compelling internet branding ploys I have ever seen. I’m sure many of you will soon have jobs with Coca Cola and Verizon, moving into the private sector to find more lucrative branding opportunities that will afford you many Ferrari’s, eight balls and hookers. I only wish I could be in your shoes, condoms and hundred dollar bills.
For the rest of us, there’s a real enemy that is much harder to accept. The enemy is a little something called “complacency”. It happens every time you fail to call your government into account for the actions they make on your behalf. It happens when you’re not thinking about it. The reason you don’t think about it is because “it” is normal. “IT” is war. Our nation is seemingly always embroiled in a conflict, yet we barely even understand what it means.
Four decades ago, our government discovered its citizens don’t like seeing what war really is. When the Vietnam War happened, it was beamed into American televisions, and shortly thereafter, the citizens wanted the war to stop. Since Vietnam, American citizens have failed to see the pain that war causes.
You don’t see what “war” is, because it’s cleverly hidden in your paychecks under a line called “taxes”. If they started printing a body count on your paychecks, you might pay attention. “This week, you contributed to 2,700 deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sleep well.” But it doesn’t say that. Just “taxes”. But you’re complacent. You know you want lower taxes, but instead of cutting things like “tanks and guns”, your politicians are cutting things like “healthcare for the poor”, “education” and “birth control”.
Joseph Kony is an evil man because he’s probably killed more than 50,000 people. He certainly needs to be brought to justice. However, while we’re in the business of bringing to justice the people responsible for killing tens of thousands of innocent people, let’s be honest with ourselves.
50,000 people is small when compared to our scale of destruction. Dividing the 11 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan by the current bodycount produces roughly 3,500 bodies per week. That’s 500 per day. 1 person dead in Iraq or Afghanistan every three minutes.
If you really feel the need to be an activist, hold yourself accountable first.
