Moral Dementia

In Newton's laws of motion, every action has an opposite and equal reaction. Besides this being law in the physical world does this law play an important factor in our lives on a moral standpoint? Do we truly get what we deserve or is life just as random and chaotic as this question? Lack of sleep and overall being burnout compels me to write this down as if I'm actually going to solve this on my own. When I think about moral dilemma I tend to think about the true battle of selfishness and selflessness. When you start to think about it, isn't that the basis behind the majority of every moral choice in life? Is it always better to put others before yourself? In most cases, the majority would say it is but for what reason? Is it because we expect this in return from those we help? That sounds pretty selfish to me. Think about people who jump on the bandwagon to help someone out for recognition. Is the motivation for doing good things immoral? Because if that is the case then I'd say the majority of us suffer from Moral Dementia (please don't look up the term because the term doesn't really exist). There is an old Judaic principle about charity in that when you donate a large amount of money or contribute in another charitable way that you do not stake your name on it. Why? Because you do not do these deeds for your own fame. People who speak out on the news to support a cause for their own airtime. People who act overly friendly because you are looked at as successful and useful. People who kiss your ass when you know exactly what they're after. It truly is hard to express yourself honestly in a world full of fake moral standards. The only cure for Moral Dementia is honest expression. Sometimes I need to help myself before others and sometimes I will go out of my way to help those I care about. The balance of the two sides is what people need to embrace. In life, some people will only claim to do what moral standards in contemporary society tells them to do, and the others will be honest about it.


"Ultimately, martial art means honestly expressing yourself...it is easy for me to put on a show and be cocky, or I could show you some really fancy movement…But to express oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to express myself honestly…Now that, my friend is very hard to do"

-Bruce Lee

A New Dawn for the UFC (World Domination)

Unless you don't watch MMA (mixed martial arts) or you have been living under a rock, chances are you have seen a UFC fight. Well the biggest fight league in the world is about to dominate the world of MMA and combat sports by merging with the WEC. The WEC which stands for "World Extreme Cage Fighting", is known for their standout bantamweight and featherweight fighters. Now with the merge of these two companies the UFC will now have these weight classes plus the lightweight division and up making the UFC a well more established league. This will also create new match-ups for the lighter weight divisions by fighters having more flexibility to move between divisions. The talent pool will increase as well as ratings according to Dana White. According to Dana, he claims the UFC will reach a billion homes in the upcoming months. The UFC is already at half a billion and rising and is also in talks of bringing the league to an American network such as NBC or FOX. It is estimated that the newer UFC will host 30-35 fights per year. Can the UFC get any bigger? The answer is prevalent.


Here are some good MMA sites to check out for daily news and information about fighting.

Four Loko Commercial

The realistic commercial for the imfamous drink Four Loko.  By the way if a guy is drinking this he should not because its for 14 year old girls.

The greatest boxer of all time...

Who was or is the greatest boxer of all time? This might be one of the most highly debated questions in all of sports and to examine who is the best would mean to examine each contenders career extensively. I'm here to say that I'm not going to do that, but I will touch on who I think the top prospects are for the best. You can debate any of these guys in such a bias manner to make one stand out over the other and yet I still wouldn't think It would cover it. So here is a list (in no particular order) of 5 fighters who are eligible to take the title of greatest boxer. I'd have to say Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquaio.

Muhammad Ali-
Self-proclamined "The Greatest" and not too far from the truth, Muhammad Ali ended his career with a record of 56-5 with 37 knockouts. Besides eating up media with his electric personality, "No Vietcong ever call me N*gger", he brought the boxing world some of the most famous fights in one of the sports most action packed and competitive eras. He was the top dog in what is known as the golden age of heavyweight boxing by defeating heavyweight stand-outs such as Sonny Liston, Joe Fraizer, George Foreman, and Leon Spinks. His outer boxing style and rope-a-dope tactics in the ring made him appear as a middleweight rather than a heavy weight. When Ali wanted to strike he did it with precision and power. His pace and ring tactics overwhelmed the majority of his opponents. I personally believe if he wasn't stripped of his title and didn't deal with his appeal to the supreme court he could of been undefeated in his prime. He would have been more ready for "The Fight of the Century" with Joe Fraizer but whatever. There is no denying that Muhammad Ali is one of the greatest athletes of all time.

Joe Louis-
Regarded as the first African American to achieve the status of a nationwide hero within the United States, the "Brown Bomber" held the heavyweight title for longer (11 years, 8 months, 7 days) and made more successful defenses (25) than anyone. His record was 65-3 with 51 knockouts. He won the title by defeating James J. Braddock (Cinderella Man) in 1937 and his reign of nearly 12 years clearly shows how he is one of the best of all time. Anyone who was in the ring with him wouldn't last long. They say no one punched harder and more direct than the bomber.

Sugar Ray Robinson-
The inspiration for Muhammad Ali and literally created the term "pound for pound" due to dominating light heavy, middle, welter and light weight classes, Sugar Ray had a professional record of 128-1-2 with 84 knockouts. Robinson held the world welterweight title from 1946 to 1951, and won the world middleweight title in the later year. He retired in 1952, only to come back two and a half years later and regain the middleweight title in 1955. He then became the first boxer in history to win a divisional world championship five times. Quite the track record for the fighter who's career spanned 26 years. Renowned for his fluidity and being a very ambidextrous fighter, he had a rhythm like non other in the ring. Muhammad Ali is quoted saying this "The king, the master, my idol". That must account for something.

Mike Tyson-
Many have avoided calling Tyson one of the greatest. But then I ask myself who has instilled more fear in the ring than Mike? For god sake's his nick name is "The baddest man on the planet", not a nick name that is achieved easily. With a record 50-2-6 he has 44 knockouts. 44 knockouts meaning chances are you were going to die if you were in the ring with him. In the 80’s and early 90’s, Tyson was looked at as an unbeatable juggernaught who knocked out every contender of every size and caliber within the first few rounds of almost every fight. It became an entertaining query just how long the next unlucky sap would last. Lets say if he didn't run into personal and legal issues, didn't have Holyfield's ear for lunch and wasn't a crazy asshole then his perception and career would only have him be the most feared in the game.

Manny Pacquaio-
Too much to be said for the fighting pride of the Philippines. An eight-division world champion winning 10 world titles in eight weight classes, Manny Pacquaio is currently 57-3 with 38 knockouts coming off a fresh victory over the cheating fuck who is Margarito. Clearing out the welterweights one victory after the next, De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, all I can say is when is he going to fight Mayweather! Future president of the Phillipines as he is already in the house of representatives and mogul, he only seems hungrier for more and never ducks anybody. He has already proven his worth more and more every time he fights qith his aggressive speed and direct punches. No defense is safe from him making it almost impossible to handle him in the ring.


Please leave comments and add some to an honorable mentions list. If I missed anyone from my top 5 it's because I did not want them there!

The best hangover cures

Look at that hungover polar bear for a moment. My head is killing me beyond belief right now. If your reading this post at the current moment your probably just as hungover too, or your just being productive actually making moves right now. Well anyway the term hangover was originally a 19th century expression describing unfinished business—something left over from a meeting—or "survival." In 1904, the meaning "morning after-effect of drinking too much" first surfaced. As you may already know ethanol has a dehydrating effect by causing increased urine production, which causes headaches, dry mouth, and being a lazy fuck. Dehydration also causes fluids in the brain to be less plentiful. This can be mitigated by drinking water after consumption. Alcohol's effect on the stomach lining can account for nausea. Another contributing factor is the presence of products from the breakdown of ethanol by liver enzymes. Ethanol is converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, and then from acetaldehyde to acetic acid by the enzyme acetaldehyde dehyfrogenase. Acetaldehyde (ethanal) is between 10 and 30 times more toxic than alcohol itself. Beside all that you just want this sucker gone for good. So here are the best ways to do it.

Avoid Caffeine- Caffeine dehydrates just as much as alcohol (the opposite of what you want).
Don't grab coffee or soda instead stick to water or some of that gatorade.

Drink Clear Alcohol (for prevention)- They say the darker the alcohol the nastier the hangover. Dark alcohol tends to contain a substance called cogeners. These types of alcohols are more likely to cause hangover symptoms. White wine, vodkas, light rum are examples of clear alcohols. Red wine, dark rum, sherry, brandy are high in cogeners. Beer is in between, mostly depending on how dark it is. This should ease some of the pain for the morning after...that sounded funny didn't it?

Bananas- Bananas have sugar in the form of fructose. They also contain potassium, which is one of the nutrients you lose the most of when you drink. Bananas are also a natural antacid which can help out with nausea. They are high in magnesium which can help relax those pounding blood vessels causing that hangover headache. Keep some of these around you in the morning and your golden. Plus they're awesome!

DRINK WATER- The single most important rule! If you don't do anything else just make sure you drink drink drink away.

Eating Fried Foods- Although eating fried or fatty foods the morning after will most likely irritate a drinker’s stomach more than it already is, eating them before drinking can actually be useful. Putting something in the stomach prior to consuming alcohol helps prevent a hangover, but fatty foods in particular work very will by sticking to the stomach lining longer and therefore slowing down the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream. While this might make it take longer to feel the alcohol’s effects, it will also give your body more time to process the byproducts and will increase a drinker’s chances of feeling not so hung over the next morning. In fact the Mediterranean folk tactic is to take a spoonful of olive oil before drinking alcohol. Have fun doing that I'll stick with just food.



Hope this was helpful to get your ass out of the house. Leave your thoughts as always.

Why are we so fat? (The answer shouldn't shock you)

We are so fucking fat. Just thought I would put that out there immediately before I get into this but its a harsh reality. According to a study conducted by Forbes in 2007, 74.1% of our population is
overweight. If you didn't get that through your head the minority of people in our country are healthy. What's even more astounding is that 1/3 of Americans in their spare time exercise. So let me spell this out for you and you tell me what our deal is, we are exercising more and getting fatter at the same time! WHAT THE FUCK. But when you really start to break it down it all becomes extremely clear. Besides the fact that most of us have terrible diets and eat more than we should, there is an astute underlying reason. The amount you eat could be worked off with daily training and an active lifestyle so I won't put the "total" blame on food (half the blame I'll say). Think about what you do the majority of the day. There is one activity (should call it inactivity) that we as Americans do everywhere more than anything. Have you figured it out yet? Do you work or go to school? What does your morning commute consist of? When you drive to your destination, what are you doing? When your in class or your desk what are you doing? I'll tell you what you do, we are SITTING WAY TO MUCH. We sit more than we think and if that is really a surprise to you it shouldn't be at all. Our ever increasing sedentary lifestyle is a result of our society becoming increasingly technology dependant like never before. Even when some of us claim to "exercise" most people's workouts consist  of only benching and other conventional exercises in which you are sitting the whole time! Obesity rates can be directly correlated to the contemporary lifestyle of the average American. Think about life in the 1800's or even up until the mid 1900's. Working all day in a job that required physical labor, life without a reliable vehicle or your Blackberry. There was once a time where we needed to walk to a store to get what we wanted. I can honestly say I can get everything I need done in a week on my Macbook by making a few e-mails and looking up a few facts from wikipedia. Any body ever see "Wall-e"? That is going to be us if we do not realize this now. We are not going to evolve as a species because we don't ever need to be physically adaptable to anything anymore. We are doomed to be fat, tech-savy blobs of carbon if we don't move when we have the opportunity to do so. Make improvements in your life by not sitting when not needed. Change up your workouts with out-door running and exercise, walk to your class instead of driving there you lazy fucks. Go to a store instead of online shopping. A build up subtle changes will increase your chances of not being apart of the lethargic masses that eat their quarter pounders with cheese and bitch about their day to day stresses. I leave you with this.... no deer are fat.


PLEASE LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS AND FIGHT THE FATTIES

BEST PAPER WRITING TIDBIT

Maybe the best paper writing advice I've ever heard. If your paper is size 12 font make sure all of your comas are font size 13. The build up of these size 13 comas will increase your paper by at least a page in the long run. You will notice!

Love, Lust and mind your surroundings

No, the mind your surroundings part of the title isn't an old Jedi proverb to make this post sound more intriguing, it is the reality of the matter. The words love and lust come hand and hand more often than we think and what's even more dangerous is when we can not see the difference between the two. There is no denying that love and lust are immensely intertwined and not being able to decipher the two could lead to heartbreak for your partner (or yourself). Why do we become infatuated with someone in the first place? Boredom within our lives? Instant Attraction? Are we looking for stability that can not be found within our selves? For better or for worse we must all "mind our surroundings". Where and when are relationships more likely to workout? For those who go away to college young men and women are no stranger to coed romance but are the relationships made at these institutions the ones we all strive for? David Coleman, self-proclaimed "Hitch" for the youth has been ranked as Speaker of the Year nine times by Campus Activities Magazine and three times by the National Association of Campus Activities has an opinion on the matter. “College is too artificial a situation to have a relationship,” said Coleman. He expresses this opinion by stating how college doesn't allow the majority to act true to ourselves as freely as we think we do. Late nights, early mornings and Adderall fueled library sessions directly influence our overall mindset to make us act in ways and lust in ways we normally would not under regular circumstances. I'm not saying I fully agree with the statement but it does make one think. Think about other times and places where love and lust reign. How about work/office romances? Summer romances? It's no secret we are products of our ever changing environments. When we are involved with another we must ask ourselves whether we are in love or lust and hopefully be on the same page as the ones we strive for. Sometimes we are well aware of the reality of a hookup, but it usually complicates. Nothing is as deadly and as beautiful as love. We must go out and search for these answers ourselves and never be afraid to experience something new. In the end we must adapt in order to survive.

What should Lebron James do?

Roughly two weeks ago Lebron asked the world "What should I do?"





In the midst of Nike attempting to restore his image to the public, it has sparked responses from all over.  The city of Cleveland wasted no time to retaliate.




Of course South Park came up with their own spin on this question. Maybe BP really should have asked this question.




What should you do Lebron? Don't make an ad with Nike making yourself look unsure so your haters can give you crap. The less airtime (not playing basketball) the better.

Weekend Inspiration

A little Big L to start this weekend off on the right foot. "Mad hoes, ask Beavis I get nothing Butt -Head"

Is it possible to control your dreams?

The Lawrence of Arabia once said  "All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." Well to a certain extent your dreams could be possible. What if I were to tell you that living in a dream world isn't just a wild claim made by Morpheus trying to sell Neo on the idea to give up his current life?  If what one defines as real as what you can taste, touch and feel then having control of your senses within a dream would surely constitute some form of reality wouldn't it? Lucid dreaming is the term for coming as close as possible to this wild idea and chances are the majority of people have experienced it without realizing. Lucid dreaming is the self-awareness that your are in a dream while you are experiencing one. This usually occurs while a person is in the middle of a regular dream and suddenly realizes that he or she is dreaming. This doesn't necessarily mean that one can control their dreams entirely but one feels the reality of them more so than usual, as if you are directly involved in your own movie. 


Here are some steps to help you achieve this type of consciousness while dreaming.

-Become ever so aware of lucid dreaming


The shear fact of being familiar with the concept will take you a long way to achieving a lucid dream. Let yourself understand that if is possible to have awareness within a dream. Never under estimate the power of your sub-conscious. (Watch Inception, Vanilla Sky, Matrix to get your mind boggling)

-Daily reality checks

Ask your self during your day if you are dreaming. This ties into how you think on a sub-conscious level in that our brains are extremely receptive to even the slightest habits. When your dreaming your sub-conscious will be so used to questioning yourself about reality that no matter what state of mind your in, the control will be in your hands if practiced enough.


-Dream Journal

They say keeping a log of your dreams is highly beneficial. Make sure to write entries in it right after you wake and be sure to keep it near your bed. It allows your self to take your dreams seriously (as you should). Remember that your mind creates your dreams. If you don't understand exactly what I am getting at here is that whats directly and indirectly on your mind will come out from your dreams. Keeping a journal can be constructive for you personally by defining what is dominating your thoughts and can help you maintain clarity in your life.


-Timing

Major lesson in life, timing is everything and lucid dreaming is no different. Being aware of your personal sleep schedule will greatly aid you on your quest through your sub-conscious. Experts have stated that napping a few hours after waking up in the morning is the most common time to have a lucid dream. Early in the morning is when you are deep within your REM cycle in which the majority of dreams are produced. The initial wake up will help you maintain a more level head before your fall back asleep. Remember also to nap in the same position as you woke otherwise so you do not disrupt your previous dream.

-The WBTB

The WBTB or Wake back to bed technique is an effective technique to induce a lucid dream if your willing to actually give it a realistic shot. First, you fall asleep with an alarm clock set 5 hours ahead of the time you plan on being asleep by. Then once you are woken up by your alarm set at what ever time may be, stay awake in your bed for an hour with your mind solely concentrated on lucid dreaming and ONLY lucid dreaming (no one said this shit was going to be easy). When re-entering sleep, try to re-create your previous dream in your mind as much as possible while telling your self that you are aware that it is a dream.


If you dare to try to lucid dreaming always remember that what we dream comes from everyday life and thought process. It is an opportunity to learn things about yourself that you might normally neglect.



Here is some inspirational dreaming music for you and the only thing my roomates will play on my computer.

Lil Wayne Free, Still Overrated

"Threw the pencil and leak the sheet of the tablet in my mind Cuz I don't write shit cuz I ain't got time".
Maybe being in Rikers Island for 8 months should have given you more than enough time to create sensible material southern rap sensation Lil Wayne....but that would just be to demanding. The infamous and famous Lil Wayne has dominated the minds of the masses with endless remixes to anything you hear on the radio to songs that make no fucking sense (anyone remember his verse in Ransom with Drake...yeah.) His latest half-ass album which is less than an hour of music leaves us questioning is he really going to come out of jail and kill the rap game? I say expect more of the same Weezy we're used to, meaning to everyone I know he is number one. Upon his release President Barack Obama recently told Rolling Stone he has some Lil Wayne music on his iPod. And former President Bill Clinton praised the rapper's abilities during a phone interview with a Pittsburgh radio station Tuesday, adding that "what I hope will happen is that he has a good life now." Barack ever desperate for the youth voters will do anything nowadays to strive for his only target demographic which will slowly diminish past his novelty. Clinton is more believable listening to his music due to his carefree nature and the amount he blazes on the regular, you would too if you came home to Hilary Clinton every night. Wayne was due for a year long sentence but got to 8 months for good behavior despite being moved to solitary confinement for his last month for contraband. A prison shank? nope a charger and headphones for a music player. According to several sources from his personal management and Rikers guards he has been writing a book but how can that be possible when he doesn't write shit cuz he aint got time! Well solitary confinement will do it unless he plans on free-styling an entire book filled with useless metaphors and inventing words to rhyme. All I can say is drop Nicki and Drake from young money....also get rid of Gudda Gudda. Young money and Lil Wayne might be eclipsed by the upcoming of G.O.O.D music and the release of Kanye's fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy due later this month. Even if Lil Wayne is the self-proclaimed "Greatest Rapper Alive" it's hard to compete with an album that was produced by Kanye, Q-tip, DJ Premier, RZA, Pete Rock, Madlib, DJ Toomp, Swizz Beatz, Lex Luger, and Justin Vernon. Featuring rappers such as Jay-Z, Raekwon, Kid Cudi. Knowing Lil Wayne's entry into everything he might as well be squeezed in there for all I know.

Facebook needs to die

Fuck Zuckerberg,

I mean that with the utmost respect for the 26 year old Harvard dropout who has drastically changed communication as we know it. With over 500 million and rising, facebook has turned the majority of college kids and everyone I've ever met into a seizure-prone, computer-fixated junkie. How many times have you checked your profile today? You know facebook has royally screwed you when you ask a certain girl for they're number and they write they're full name on a piece of paper and tell you to "facebook them." Besides this virus taking away my already non-existent game, the point i'm trying to make here is how communication between people has changed....for the worse. Posting non-sense videos and reciting Wu-Tang lines everyday has made me ponder as to why? Why do we need to keep posting? Why do we constantly need to check our profiles? Why do we go through the same people's profiles? Is it jealousy or curiosity? Pictures getting taken and hoping they'll be up so we can show off how little productivity our lives are filled with. Its hard not to be on something that everyone you've ever met is constantly on wouldn't you say? Facebook plays into our curiosity as to what other people are doing. By looking at someone's profile you can see what they've been doing recently which should really make many weary of putting anything and everything up on it. Companies firing employees for posting pics with 16 year old girls pissing on each other (drastic exaggeration) there is no escape from people looking up your shit. I leave you with this, can a guy call a girl anymore? If the answer is no then I'm breaking my phone.
