I was imagining being in the middle of a Senate session

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on 28.02.2010 by thomas

I was imagining being in the middle of a Senate session
nobody said anything to each other or me they spoke to the distance
it all bounced off the walls and of course I said what I thought
but no one would listen

no Democrat or Republican would hear my union songs

I wonder if they care what I saw in my 24 short years

If they respected my quarter century here

on this long island I was born they call New York

All my hard work

I heard late in the night the President I voted for extended the Patriot Act

can’t say I agree with that

what’s my freedom worth?

A million questions

I was imagining being in the middle of a Senate session

[[soundtrack to my thoughts]]

Let me tell you a little bit about myself…

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , on 12.02.2010 by thomas

while I listen to Sade “Soldier of Love” album that I just got on iTunes…

Sometimes I feel like my energy is unparalleled

I got 2 hours of sleep last night

I rarely get more than 4 or 5

I woke up 6AM

It’s 2.11.10 – I am 24 years old.

In 4 months from this day on 6.11.10 I will be 25 years old

I was born in 1985 in Queens

I think 1985 was the best year to be born

naturally

In 1995 my family moved to Staten, a town called Great Kills

Kills is the dutch word for rivers or streams

When I was a kid they used to call me Number 3

I have two older brothers who are twins

We are less than a year apart

(11 months and 2 weeks,  for 2 weeks all 3 of us same age)

they call that “Irish Twins”

I am a Gemini I am THE Gemini

I’ve seen a lot but only because my eyes are open

In 2006 I moved to Brooklyn

I am rigging grip

International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees

Local 52 Motion Picture Mechanic

I don’t use a computer at work.

I use tools

I love my job, but I want my life

I am a ♫listener by life

I am a lover by living

peace

shine on

ps- this Sade album is really good

the difference between 0 and 1…

Posted in Uncategorized on 21.01.2010 by thomas

the difference between 0 and 1 is infinite…

You could never count the amount of pieces in a whole, but you could never have the whole without every piece.

All is one, one is all. Believe that while a countless number struggle to see another day in Haiti.

PEACE

pray

whatever you do

do SOMETHING

everything is in play

the good games…

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , on 18.01.2010 by thomas

The good games are the ones where it’s a hard fought and earned win. The good games are not blowouts. The good games are the ones where you say “that team lost, but damn they did their best”. Good is not being successful. Good is doing the best you can. Everyone wants to be great. We don’t need great. We need good. BE good. There’s a lot of bad out there. A lot of imbalance. Throw your weight towards something right (even if that means going left). Everyone who had a chance to play the game can be a winner. Let’s give everyone a chance to play before we get mad that we haven’t won yet.

peace

the Greatest Generation should be us #in2010

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on 03.01.2010 by thomas

The Greatest  Generation is a term referring to the generation of people who fought World War II and afterwords rebuilt everything that was destroyed.

I was thinking about this.

Do I want to be called a member of the Greatest Generation? I do.

I can’t?

Because I haven’t fought a war?

Because I haven’t killed anyone?

Well…

They are the Greatest Generation. I acknowledge and honor all veterans who’ve fought. The women who stepped up and supported them. The children, the innocent ones lost. Whether they were wrong or right they died. Anyone and everyone. But I want us to be known as the Greatest Generation. How can we top reuniting and rebuilding a world after a war?

We can top that by uniting and building a world WITHOUT war.

That would make us the greatest generation. That would have people speaking(and tweeting?) of us as the ones who collectively decided that enough was enough. The tools for such communication were never in place. The wealth of common knowledge has never been more accessible. I’m not on some crazy biblical the light is gonna shine down and all will be granted heaven-ish. I’m saying “the people united will never be defeated”. That’s a protest slogan I’ve heard. It’s true but how could the people of the 60’s be truly united when they were small groups of people limited by physical mail and telephone for communication? That’s only 50 years ago. We’ve been “modern humans” for thousands of years. Now look what we’ve come into just in our lifetime(every single person who will read this).

These are not toys we’ve been given they are tools. Let’s use them.

Happy New Year

I said to my friends & fam I hope we all get JUICY

I say the same to you

PEACE for 20-10

the dreamers of the day are dangerous men…

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on 28.12.2009 by thomas

“Those who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.”

~ T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)

Music makes complete sense to me…

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , on 27.12.2009 by thomas

People are confusing. They aren’t honest. They don’t say exactly what they think. They lie. They fear. Music never lied to me. Music never confused me. Music is fearless. Music never left anything but satisfaction in my mind. Music isn’t afraid to speak up. Music doesn’t assume. It doesn’t talk back. It just asks you to listen. It doesn’t look at you and say “Hey – YOU can’t hear this”. You don’t have to respond. You don’t have to answer any questions to music. You don’t have to get it gifts. It won’t get mad at you. It’s there when you’re an asshole and it’s there when you are a champion. There is music from every culture in the recorded history of mankind. We can all appreciate music. Why can’t we all appreciate each other?
