Every year of my life has been one of exploration, and the last one was no exception. On one hand, we live by an artificial concept of time, a calendar which is more often than not defied by reality that we rely upon to determine the exact moment of some kind of divine chance for a new beginning. On the other hand, there is something to be said for surviving so many winters, and of course the...

Life is a full time job. Through technology, societies develop means to subvert the work they deem to be mundane. A hundred years ago that meant flipping a switch instead of lighting a fire; these days it might refer to whether your GPS talks to you or not. But for all of our achievements, we are still depressed, angry, unsure, lonely and so forth. In some parts of rural Mexico, growing corn...

General Life Update
I took the GRE yesterday and scored above average in verbal and about average in math, I felt pretty good about my essays too. Along with my slightly above average GPA and unique travel experiences, I’m actually feeling somewhat confident about my chances of getting into grad school. If that doesn’t end up working out though, my backup plan is to volunteer with UNICEF/Peace Corps or...
Recorded the 11th and final song for my “Waking Dreams” album tonight. Then went back and listened to the first song I’d recorded for the project and realized how terrible it sounded. When I started recording this album I hadn’t been in a studio for about 3 years, and it was a pretty gradual process of getting acquainted with rapping, much less recording again. I kind of...
A useful exercise one can partake in at any time is to ponder how they would feel about their sudden death. I remember running along the canal in Thailand and thinking that I could accept death at that very moment, as I was doing exactly what I wanted to do. But as I sit here tonight, studying verbal and quantitative reasoning that will be useless to me seven days from now, I feel that my death...

Most criticism is derived from comparison. But I believe that one of the worst mistakes one can make is thinking that something is wrong with them because they are not like someone else. Perhaps the initial criticism is even catalyzed by the same insecurity. If that was who you were, then that would be who you were. Esotericism is the most natural thing in the world; after all, nobody’s...

Why do we find nature beautiful? Perhaps because it exists without effort. Perhaps because it bends, breaks, decays, grows, flows and all the rest without resistance. Even in death, nature is at peace.

I will never ask anybody to support anything that I do. The meaning of the word “support” is to bear the weight of, to keep from falling, sinking or slipping. A secondary definition is to endure, to tolerate. Support has nothing to do with enjoyment, appreciation or value. If what I’m doing doesn’t have the strength to stand on it’s own, then it should fail. ...

I would just like to take the time to commend Sky Harbor International Airport for their superior quality of service. Upon arriving to the airport everything seemed fairly standard; I found my airline and completed my electronic check-in as usual. But as I approached the security gate, I could tell by how the officer was looking at me that I was not just another customer. Sure enough, I was...

Just watched the video of the pepper spray incident at UC Davis. Made me wonder what would happen if all of the time and energy dedicated to the OWS movement had been given to charities instead. What if the hours, days, weeks that have been spent camping out in city capitols across America had been used to plant a garden, read a child a book, redistribute food, build a home, clear waste, or the...
Oh, I’m opening for Immortal Technique tonight in downtown PHX. I’m performing all new music, stuff I’ve been recording in the studio for the past month or so, no old shit. Kinda excited, kinda scurred.

I have been feeling pretty melancholy since coming back to the states. I hesitate to use the word depressed, because there is no hopelessness, in fact I’m pretty excited about the future and there’s a lot of cool stuff I’m working on. But to be honest, I feel a giant void inside me where companionship should be, I’ve felt it for awhile, maybe about halfway through my time...
