A little tribute to my newest epically favorite song. Absolutely relevant, powerful and meaningful. To me, this song combinations my love of music (of-course) with the Zeitgeist Films, Ron Paul strong ideals mixed with a dish of couple movies like The Butterfly Effect and the External Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Personally, after reading about Mayan culture, their calendar and the records for a different level of consciousness - I feel this song sums of what all those above miss.

Which is? That no matter how dense shit gets - politically - personally and epically global. The only change that will actually occur to create change is in all of us. Yet, it needs to be sparked. It needs to be pushed. We need to push ourselves. Stop discussing problems. Stop thinking. Stop our nine-to-five jobs. We need to just do. Create wholeness, moneyless effective change that will uphold our children to a brighter future.

For how inspiring this song is, perhaps to anyone with a mis-lead heart and misunderstood head over todays actuality of reality - will appreciate this song’s combination of structure, emotion and groin-striking honest lyrics.

We need to invest in only one path. A new way of life. We need to stop this materialistic roller-coaster that is never questioned if it break or not. We need to take a second, and ask ourselves, why are we in this “theme park” to begin with? - What are the real rewards? Materialism only blurs our already foggy society. I don’t have the answer, but I see the fog. I notice and are becoming aware of its many deceptive forms. We need to invest in ourselves. Our children. Not the next iPhone App. Not the next marketing bull-shit Prius. Not your next MacBook Air or even that Leather Chair. We need to get outside of this politically-saturated marketing shit-storm.

For one thing, I am not 100% talking out of my ass. I sure as hell don’t have an answer. I don’t think any of us, individually has the answer. Much like a creative team process, many of the best, most effective answers presents themselves well into the process. Down and dirty, in which we as a whole might find some representative solution to assist a better future. About the “ass” thing. I am not, I honestly have been sinking into this whole anti-technology - anti-urban lifestyle that has ruled my life for the past five years. Many days, I dream if I never went to college, stayed home, in the fields, and did some blue-collar job. I think I would be happier in some sense. Don’t get me wrong, I love design. In actuality, I hate that word. I love being creative, in all its mediums and applications. But, I miss going outside and sweating through the dirt. Through the mud. Through the thick grass.

For too long has this urban trash can ruled my life. Money has become enemy number one. I don’t want to live a life always worried about money. Hell, I don’t even want to be rich. I just, in all honestly, just don’t even want to think about money. Money is an imaginative item that only causes lost hope, distress and pain to a vast majority. False hope and bliss to others. And ultimately dreadful power and greed to those who don’t in reality deserve it. For too long have I hoped to rid myself of this filthy paper commodity that runs the world through a thick mirror where we all just end up chasing ourselves.

I feel like a slight sliver of enlightenment is entitled to each and every one of us, but we need to cleanse our “situation” of several epically common occurrences. I wish there was some method to conquer this “situation” and live it though. Perhaps there is some path to take, but currently, I am locked, and will remain locked in this paycheck to paycheck, rent to rent, school money to school money (for my 4 year old) life, which drains enough of my positive flow to leave my mind wide open, little lost and scared.

This is all in respect to the song: Constellations by Enter Shikari.
