I have been keeping this site up for around 5 years. It is nothing more than a consistent stream of fun and thought provoking perspective. My true passion for the web started in a dorm room when I was 17. I remember trying HTML for the first time and being freaked out over how easy it was to message the globe.

If there is an opportunity to influence someone in a positive or life changing way, I'm going to take it.
Therefore, I will always keep this site.

And now...

Let's get deep.

The internet is the most powerful distribution channel of all time. And while the possibility is nearly endless we continually choose the path of least resistance. We want to work as little as possible with the highest return. Social networks are offering free connectivity, free content and free access to what we would consider immediate value. Nothing is free. Everything you do under this "free" umbrella is being capitalized on. Your conversations, your photos, your original music and especially your time is being used to reshape you through branding, marketing and advertising. We consume it with no realization of what it is doing to our sub-conscience. These channels continually stack on more and more confusion to keep you from breaking down who you are at your core.

You are not an F-150, an iPod or an XBOX.

You are not Apple, Starbucks or Target.

You are not a profile.

I am not suggesting that you should quit the web. I personally can't. My focus is on promoting awareness that we are more captive than ever before. Find balance in the real world - spend an equal amount of time searching for yourself as you do searching for others. I believe that people will come into my life without the need of social networking. And when they do, the relationship will be meaningful and long.

You can disregard everything on this site if you wish but if I could have only one notion that parts with you it's this: The more you love and care for yourself, the more you will be able to love and care for others. The key action is love. Unconditional love and total acceptance of all living things is the meaning of life.

Discover yourself. Experience this and you will ascend.
