			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore"><span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium"><font size="3">I have another idea Bulbagarden.<br />
<br />
It is about... obstacles.<br />
<br />
There shall always be obstacles for without obstacles there would not be a challenge and without a challenge there would be no euphoria of conquering the challenge. Thus there shall always be obstacles. As you push the universe the universe pushes back. That is the basis of the first rule of Obstacles that I shall institute:<br />
<br />
<i>I :There shall always be obstacles whether it be mental, physical, or social.</i><br />
<br />
Another thing is that a lot of obstacles are easily overcome with the right viewpoint and attitude. I would estimate about 80% of all obstacles are merely thought up to stop ourselves from personal success for whatever reason. For example bad grades can easily be avoided by studying or asking to be tutored after class. If you are low on cash there is always a need for hardworking hands somewhere. If you want something that can't be bought but rather made then the internet provides a wide variety of ways to make that object. With steady hands and willing heart you can often overcome most obstacles with some good honest work. That institutes the second rule of Obstacles:<br />
<br />
<i>II :About  80% of all obstacles are illusionary and/or easily overcome. </i><br />
<br />
The remaining amount of obstacles are often things that we cannot change due to the fact that it is out of our power. Which institutes the third law of Obstacles. <br />
<br />
<i>III: The remaining 20% are usually out of our power to change or differentiate. </i><br />
<br />
The last rule of Obstacles is that as obstacles are overcome there will always be new ones to replace them. Which basically mirrors the first law of Obstacles but I shall make it a fourth law just to re-institute the point in the mind of the reader.<br />
<br />
<i>IV :There will always be obstacles that shall replace whatever obstacle you overcome.</i><br />
<br />
Thus the four laws of Obstacles are as it follows:<br />
<br />
<i>I :There shall always be obstacles whether it be mental, physical, or social.<br />
II :About  80% of all obstacles are illusionary and/or easily overcome<br />
III :The remaining 20% are usually out of our power to change or differentiate.<br />
IV :There will always be obstacles that shall replace whatever obstacle you overcome.</i><br />
<br />
Obstacles shall make, break, or shape you.<br />
<br />
I lived with obstacles my whole life varying from childhood abuse that was mental and physical. I still recall the time I was forcibly pushed off a bar and my head barely missed concrete as I saw the world spinning while doing an unintentional backflip. I was isolated as a kid for they sensed I was different. As vicious as any pack of wolves they tore me to shreds. They threw ants, rocks, and spitballs at me my whole life. Eventually these hardships shaped who I am, I am no longer that innocent kid who thinks that everybody is nice and that everything is handed on a silver platter.<br />
<br />
And I'm sure you have had more than your fair share of obstacles. There shall always be obstacles whether made by humans or nature.<br />
<br />
Feel free to discuss.</font></span></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore">Dear Bulbagarden, I do apologize for corrupting this blog from its original purpose but I can not presently hold a calm mind while typing these blogs.<br />
<br />
I know none of you know me so this is the proper place to vent my emotions, my inner hatred, wrath, and sadness I guess because if I don't tell somebody my story it will eat me from the inside out.<br />
<br />
My sister has a disease in her mouth. The doctors say it could be as deadly as Lymphoma to Cancer to Leukemia. She has protected me my whole childhood, been my best friend, and overall the best sis that God had to offer. However it is eating away at the top of her mouth and the doctor said if they don't take action soon that she won't have a mouth left. My schoolmates have been especially abusive and I have lost many dear friends. My pets are too scared of me these days as if they see the inner evil brewing in my heart. My mental fortitude is beginning to break. I beginning to smell hints of insanity slowly creep into not only my mind but my very existence. I'm afraid that if something bad happened to my sister I would break. It would shatter my soul which would cause me to shatter myself. Because she is my true friend, the one that never left my side. I would stand at her side with guns drawn and hope that the world would never overcome us. If she died, I don't know what kind of vile things would enter my heart. Because my schoolmates are pushing me closer and closer to the cliff of insanity and soon I won't be able to be neutral anymore. Either I'll get pushed off or I'll break their jaw so they can stop talking about things they don't know anything about.<br />
<br />
I do not ask for your sympathy, I ask for your prayers. Please pray for my sister for she deserves more blessings than I ever deserved. Every prayer counts. <br />
<br />
I do not like to ask for favors but please do this for me, for the sake of humanity if nothing else.</blockquote>

<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
In my opinion it is because they had one trait that no other fighting force has had before and since then which they perfected.<br />
<br />
It wasn't strength, the samurai deserve that title.<br />
It isn't valor, the samurai and their Bushido Code.<br />
It wasn't ferocity, it wasn't that they had an honorable cause, it wasn't even that some higher deity or God was on their side.<br />
<br />
It was their remarkable ability of... Stealth.<br />
<br />
Imagine the mass fear of knowing that lurking inside the shadows could lie a stealthy assassin waiting to exterminate anybody that he was told to.<br />
<br />
That was the common fear of Japanese villagers of the time. They knew that no place was safe from those that remained unseen.<br />
<br />
So, due to this unnatural fascination I have with Stealth, I shall be discussing the very ideas and backgrounds of it in my next few blogs. <br />
<br />
Thank you for reading.</blockquote>

			<title>Old Vendettas</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore">It is truly amazing how even the oldest of vendettas can pop up regardless of what season or holiday it is.<br />
<br />
How it can haunt and stalk you throughout your every move, not bound to mere shadows and often effecting you in broad daylight.<br />
<br />
It is also the worst kind of old vendetta when you know that you were solely responsible for the correlation of events that caused the issue that is plaguing you.<br />
<br />
I have a problem Bulbagarden. I, quite simply, have a crazy ex girlfriend. Now before you laugh, this is becoming quite the issue and she is bothering me to the point of madness.<br />
<br />
So how can I handle this? She has made it clear that she wants us to go out again and all this but I am beginning to even despise her at this point.<br />
<br />
I am not a naturally cruel human being but the thousand injuries I am bearing due to her is driving me to the point of doing something rather stupid.<br />
<br />
What should I do? Should I confront her face to face and go on the most anger filled rants of my life? Because all other methods seem to have failed. I have tried to elude her,  hint to her that I don't want to associate with her, and even had friends confront her.<br />
<br />
But everything has seemed to merely blow up in my face.<br />
<br />
I am going to take action against this once and for all the Day before New Years.<br />
<br />
But I am not one for running into things without a plan.<br />
<br />
So asking for the advice of all of Bulbagarden, as a Christmas gift to me so I can due away with the very last issue that has been plaguing me so I can walk into the New Year a free man not chained by his past.<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading.</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore"><span style="font-family: Garamond"><font size="3">After you traverse digital forums long enough you begin to form a persona, a mask of yourself that you wear for whatever reason.<br />
<br />
You may even change persona often as I have done in the past.<br />
<br />
In the end however do you wear the mask or does the mask wear you?<br />
<br />
You begin to forget what you looked like under the mask, you lose the ability to reconstruct the fragments of your old personality for it is shattered irreparably like glass.<br />
<br />
For you are like a Jailer of your true personality, without letting it vent out every so often you tend to lose the key to its cage and eventually you lose that key in the dark oblivion of your mind.<br />
<br />
Thus is the problem I have encountered lately, for under this digital mask there lies a man.<br />
<br />
Under his skin lies flesh and under the flesh lies bones.<br />
<br />
However, I am not that man, for I am Requiem~ on these forums.<br />
<br />
But after you adapt so rapidly to the changing realities so often and change persona to keep that precious bit of sanity you keep your sanity but you merely lose yourself in the process.<br />
<br />
Thus, I have come to a conclusion, everything comes at a cost.<br />
<br />
Now that should seem obvious but anything can be risked as that cost. <br />
<br />
Your life, your sanity, and even yourself.<br />
<br />
Always remember who you are.</font></span></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore"><font size="3"><span style="font-family: Garamond">Today instead of the usual squabble and ramble of illusions and perceptions I am going back to my roots. <br />
<br />
Today I shall discuss my idea that I have been pondering in my head for quite a while.<br />
<br />
Imagine stacking dominoes side by side until it is a long trail of dominoes all ready to fall, all it needs is that one... push. Now try to apply that to daily life.<br />
<br />
Imagine everything we do, everything we dream, every thought that has ever prospered and took refuge in the electrical impulse matrix of your brain is basically knocking over or setting up dominoes and on the occasion both.<br />
<br />
Here is an excellent example. <br />
<br />
9/11 was like pushing a long line of dominoes. After that the war on terror raged and blazed like an all consuming fire which lit patriotism and fear inside our hearts. It was the beginning, the first push of a long line of dominoes. After that, everything merely fell into place as it was planned.<br />
<br />
Everyday of our lives we are pushing and setting up countless metaphysical dominoes. We set up the things that direct our future every second. Everything we do now contributes to not only ours, but the world's fate. So, that merely leaves the question: Is there a man behind multiple chains of events, multiple things just merely setting things up in his favor then letting us push the dominoes for him.<br />
<br />
I used to squander through every bit of knowledge on corrupt politics just trying to find that answer. I used to tear through any piece of material that had mental value like my very existence depended on it. Thus I have come to personal conclusions but the purpose of this blog is to open your eyes.<br />
<br />
Look at how things are all interlinked and by setting off one course of events, you revolutionize the world, how we think and act and even breath. Look how by merely saying hello may change the whole course of a person's day or perspective for the better or worse. I see it all as a gigantic web of correlations. Every action has an opposite and equal reaction and that reaction has an opposite and equal reaction as well and so forth. It is amazing just by sitting at a park bench for an hour, a mere hour, you can observe and see social patterns, natural behaviors, and things that even the person doesn't want you too see just by seeing how they interact with the world and then look how their interactions effect the world.<br />
<br />
It is like looking at the stars in the sky and their mysterious yet luring patterns. We are like stars, we form patterns and connections with each other which can only be noticed by the trained eye and by mysterious ways I cannot even explain we are all connected with each others constant choices.  <br />
<br />
I do believe that will be all for today, my apologies for rambling.</span></font></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore"><span style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Medium">Tell me what differs Monday from Tuesday or Wednesday from Friday. It is amazing how much of our daily life is constricted by the illusion of dates and times. It is like thousands of tiny lines we abide to every day of our life.<br />
<br />
 We are constricted, constrained, and controlled often by the normalcy bias of society. If I want to learn a beautiful piece of music at 3 AM in the morning and I don't awake others tell me what is so different about if if I would of learned it at 3 PM. It is like society these days, so controlled and dull. <br />
<br />
Since when did it become attractive to get surgeries to enhance your body's figure, or to remove signs of aging. In the olden days, grey hair was a blessing, it showed your wisdom and hardiness. Nowadays it is portrayed as anything but a blessing. Who says I have to walk on pavement? Who dares to tell me what religion or thoughts I am forced to think? Society does my friends.<br />
<br />
 I do believe that we are crippled often by societies iron clutches, how it makes us waste effort and time trying to merely blend into the dull norm rather than stick out as a unique and brilliant character. It is often deemed by the worst people what the norm should be and that is what this blog is truly about.<br />
<br />
 If you truly think hard, a lot of the stuff that people wouldn't dare argue is a mere illusion. What differs Sunday from Monday? Why should I waste money on name brand clothing? Why should I walk on pavement, why not go on the grass? Why should I waste time watching TV when I could be doing something productive?<br />
<br />
 I believe a man should be in charge of his own life so I want you after your done reading this, yes you, to spare some time to think what is real and what is merely illusions, perspectives, ideas implemented by others. <br />
<br />
Thank you for reading and tolerating. </span></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="blogcontent restore"><span style="font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode">It has been said that independence and liberty are but mere perspectives. If you perceive no evil nor injustice then let this blog go unnoticed by you. However, when the government can steal money from you when your dead, from your elders, and even from your paycheck, you begin to sense that there is something that is terribly wrong. When governments that were established by the people no longer help the people, that is a faulty system yes? For the people are the lifeblood of the government, not the other way around. People should not be scared of their governments, rather governments be scared of its people. When the government can threaten to censor my speech, my thoughts, my passions, I begin to think that the government is no longer truly for the people. If our founders were alive today, would they be proud of what we created out of their system, how we distorted and corrupted it, how we abused it? Would they be proud of us for fueling terrorists and dictators all over the world. Or would they just roll over in their graves. If you feel what I feel, if you see what I see, if you hear what I hear then let me tell you this. If you are looking for the person behind this mass corruption, then you only need to look at yourself. We corrupted this government and we were the ones who put the leaders where they are now. Long ago our fathers fought a war to end the control of an controlling and abusive government like ours that was ruling oversees. Now we are fighting that same war except the evil is in our own homeland. This is my idea my friends. This is my perception of the government. Now, people would probably call me unpatriotic, fear mongering, and all around delusional for this view but this is my perception of the government and I am proud to own it. The idea of independence and liberty is to be free to do what makes us happy and make an honest living without having people take our money from our own banks. When a person fighting and risking their lives for liberty overseas gets paid less than a man who never did an honest day of work in his life makes me want to puke. Thus this is my despairing attempt to spread my word. Is this the government our fathers envisioned or is it just a mere shadow? Will we let independence and liberty remain mere ideas, rather than realities? That is the question I ask you. I am not trying to stir violence or anything of the sort but all I ask is at the nextl election be very careful whose name you put on the ballot. </span></blockquote>

They have caused men to help their neighbor, to donate to those they do not know, to strive to contribute towards and help make better the everyday world. Ideas are like roses, they are beautiful but they also have their thorns. In their purest form, ideas can shape the way a person grows, develops, and dies. Your perspectives, your reality, your very soul I believe are constantly shaped by one thing, ideas. You cannot hold an idea. A man can die but an idea will continue to change the way people think and live centuries long after the mortal body that created the idea has deceased and rotted into the giant sepulcher of the great earth. Thus I conclude that if anything, my blog should be dedicated to ideas. For in the end, they are one of the few things that matter.<br />

Congrats if you have read this far, I congratulate you on your marvelous tolerance to rambling and award you silently for caring to hear me. </span></blockquote>
