Jersey Campbell's notebook ramblings: thoughts on the election


Sources tell me there was an election in America last night, and now a black guy is president? Wait, wait? He’s been president for four years already! Wow! What progress we’ve made!
If I can be super cereal for a minute, I’d like to share my thoughts on the election:

Jersey Campbell's notebook ramblings: return of the mac

emotions go like breezes through the wind
they ride, oscillating from one extreme to the next
you never know where they will take you
don't try and analyze these feelings, these neurons in your brain firing at all different angles
the magic will be lost
replaced by stifling reality
the winds of emotion become still, and nothing becomes everything
roars are now whispers, semblances
barely recognizable once they are thought of
think less, act more
emotion is the enemy of reason, but who needs reason when these emotions feel so complete
be still, and let the wind flow
ground yourself in reality, allow yourself to be swayed
be wary, lest the wind carry your soul too far
for while it is yours
it can be lost in the inevitable hurricane
unfound, gone forever, while the winds sweep you violently from climate to climate
passion is exciting
think more, act less
for actions done without thought are cruel

Jersey Campbell's notebook ramblings I

It was only a couple weeks ago that I was clamoring for a revamp of our democratic principles. Today, I have an example of why our power to the people model is inherently unfair. Albeit a trivial example.

OK, here's the scenario. I am the proud commissioner of a fantasy basketball league (Proud commissioner? Haha. Is the fantasy league my child?). There is a heated argument going on right now over weekly vs. daily roster alterations. Some owners want their rosters to be available for daily changes, others don't. What is a commissioner to do?

Lebron Hawk-Ali's notebook ramblings II

From mind to technology I breathe fire into the waters of thought; what you read before u is the vapor.
Today's focus will b on the appalling yet revealing police tactics exercised domestically in the U.S. regarding civic unrest; particularly in relation to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Again, I must stress the term civic. A state, ideally, is to remain in response to the needs, desires, and inquiries of the mass populace; being an extension of the main civic body. Following this logic, there should exist no laws that have not been comprehended, discussed, and voted on by the the people, which from this point on I will refer to as the body politic.
