meet Sabriel Zeissu, a gift to my girlfriend last year, he’s 1 year old today, we poppin bottles. (Taken with instagram)
I’ve been meditating, or trying to at least intermittently, for the past few weeks, and last night (for the first time ever), I was finally able to “let go” and meditate.. easily one of the most powerful experiences of my entire life.
my opinion
..at some point we’ve gotta get away from it all, cut off our televisions and laptops, put the mobile devices in airplane mode and just be alone with our thoughts. we’re so distant from who we are that it’s rediculous, and social networking is unintentionally raising a generation of kids who have virtually no opinions of their own anymore. No one likes things because the way those things make them feel anymore, it’s all about statistics now, if 10 people like it, then you love it.
That’s pretty much why people are subconsciously attracted to people who actually DO have their own opinions, not a sexual attraction, but just an attraction in general to their reasoning and ways of thinking.
Take Twitter for example, it’s a network based on followers, yet no one wants to consider themselves a follower. So to subconsciously get that point across to other people, we make sure we always have more followers than people we follow. which of course is another example of how this shit has warped our sense of reality.
Some of you may even ask yourselves, “why does ______ have so many followers?” The answer isn’t that simple but I have my own theory which I’ll share with you.
Beautiful women who have active Instagram accounts will of course attract a shitload of followers, “other” women who tweet their oral adventures will also have a large fanbase, even though they’ll probably be the types to pop up at the Walmart you just tweeted that you were going to.
But aside from all your other variables like the inspirational tweeters, the parody accounts, and the other accounts that just say shit that generates retweets all day, there are the stars of “black twitter”.
We all know them, most of us follow them. although most of them have followers in the sub 50k range, they have ENORMOUS power and influence.
Take Ice for example, niggas will argue with him for the entire day, and won’t stop until they get their point across. but the ironic part is that most of those arguments stem from people being upset about his opinion. on the surface, they don’t see how idiotic and pointless it is to be upset with someone for having their own opinion, what they DO see is, someone who doesn’t base arguments on statistics or record sales.
we’ve been programmed to be aggressive against people who don’t go along with the popular opinion. but in the same token, we subconsciously do admire people who have their own opinions, so we continue to follow that account, therein continuing the cycle.
Ice knows all of this, and the other accounts with open eyes do as well. Twitter can be a very profitable playground if you know how to play the game. Joe Budden took it to the next level recently by launching a reality show that’ll be paid for by his followers. I won’t elaborate on the psychology behind it out of respect for what he’s doing tho.
but the point I’m trying to make is that those people have figured out who they are, that’s why they’re so secure and firm in their opinions and beliefs. that’s why you admire them, but who are YOU?
people are floating through the streets right this very second with no clue as to who they are, living day to day, thrill to thrill, yet clueless as to why they “like” the things they like. there are people on my timeline attacking other tweeters because they like Nike Foamposite, tweeters being called haters for not liking every single song the “best rapper” drops.
people who don’t have opinions of their own, attacking people who do, and no one notices or cares.
..I digress.
I challenge you all to take a brief hiatus from all of your distractions and just focus all of your energy on you, see where it takes you.
#fucktime, later isn’t promised
