I feel like writing. My next post will probably be too long and nobody will read it.


I encourage all to do the same.


What is on your mind ? No subject is unwelcome.


I'd appreciate if all cutesey worthless posts were put elsewhere.

So often do people discuss things such as Freedom these days. Ever since 9/11.

This is not about 9/11.


What is freedom ? To you. An ideal based on what people in the past have "died for ?"


I hope not. But then again, I possibly don't really care what you think.

I think Freedom lives much beyond any nation. This isn't about government. This isn't about anybody telling you what you can and cannot do, say, or think.

My knowledge of the Marquis De Sade is very limited. I just recall watching Quills at some bitch's place, back in my sophomore year.

At one point he is locked up in prison, and he is still drawn to write. He uses his shit to smear on the walls and keep writing.

That my friend and foe, is Freedom.

I could never claim to live disregarding the government on any level, and doing everything I want. There are laws and restrictions. The people I see that I want to kill, beat and rape are protected. I have to live with this.

However, you can make the choice of whether or not you live Free or not.

I believe if it is in you, its not a matter of choice though.

Is it in you by birth or not ? I really have no idea. I'd love to think we are all created equally and are all capable of achieving what we want. But I don't believe this at all.

The colony exists because there are different tiers of ants.

I am an elitist. I used to believe that we are all the same, and there is no reason to treat people differently. No more.

I embrace personal Freedom. I know somebody who is Free as well when I get to knwo them. I know somebody who cripples themself when i meet them.

I'd pity them, but its not worth the effort.


Its not that I only respect those who are Free, its that I respect anybody who keeps fighting the good fight. I dont' care if I agree or disagree with it.

Blue has said it many times, and its one thing that I keep fresh on my mind :

"you fight man, cause what else are you gonna do ?"

Those who are Free fight on and do what they must. They have nothing to justify to others. They have everything to justify to themself.

Speaking of Blue, we had a discussion earlier. I told him I'd give up everything, and let everybody else die, if it meant I could have the ability to be a bird. To fly like a bird.

So what is the point of this essay ?

I think Freedom is much more than a fucking flag. Much more than voting, and anything we consider it to be. It's more than being able to choose our religion.

It's being able to look yourself in the mirror.

To me that is the ultimate question. How do I feel after everything I do ? How do I view myself ?

I do not believe in the existence of altruism in the least bit, because I think everything comes down to the self.

I do good deeds because I wouldn't live with myself if I didn't. I'd be upset and angry at myself for not doing it. Sometimes it is because I like the person so I want to help them.


This is not a question as to if you are Free. Quite frankly I dont' care what you say. I know it if I know you already. You have nothing to prove to me, ever. If you ever think you do, goddamnit I already like you less.
