A Word on Rising Against

I am proud I saw a part of me I so confidentially knew I had sheathed was able to come out. A physiological "disturbance", a consistent turbulence, my legs planted, the blood my witness. This blooming of a new form of expression left it's effect reverberating. I could feel it day by day with every word that shook its way out, an awakening, a guide put to light that painted my being, wrapped and unwrapped it, pushed and pulled it to show it how to stand still. I am proud of that change within me, waiting happily, released. I am also grateful to have been amongst friends with solid principles. I feel a new wind wafting in, like an excitement of a different kind coursing through me.

I found Gerald Keaney's little talk on youtube titled "Why punk philosophy? Why now?" to be kind of reminiscent of thoughts i had swimming around my head: (also the slideshow of his outfits throughout the years was pretty sick)

-Philosophy as a means of asking questions outside of specialized inquiries, to break free from the strains put upon it by academia and an integrity tarnished by  institutions constant need to push profit-making to any extents reachable (and imaginable...). Philosophy as a part of change rather than just a way of viewing the world. "Foot note" philosophy as in nitpicking too much to the point where it becomes about imposing some sort of fictitious intellectual superiority and praising

-De-favor profits by encouraging rebellion hence the silencing of any seeds that plant a thought standing in the way of that. A certain monstrous complacency that feeds a vicious cycle stemming from power hungry profiteers.

I also found his linked blog post on DIY a nice read too, as someone who is constantly trying to find outlets to create and to just PUSH myself to create no matter the means or condition, to express and see a part of me OUT, and see it's effect on both myself as a bounce back ping pong effect and the world around me..then to learn from that and keep finding new ways. I feel this with this blog, I'm a bit bad at making things "pretty" or "tidy" so I just do them and allow them to take the form they need to take for now. I like letting things change and develop (or if they won't then they won't and so be it!) so long as I give them a start. "Focusing on creativity over immediate practicality." -Ne plus ultra: the highest point attainable.
