Smokio Land 2: 6 Green Coins

Snoop brakes the speed limit in Mario land.

At a weird place in my night.... this is a low (or is it high)

[babyblakester]

I am a dot. A wandering, uninteresting, speck of dust, attached to an even larger speck of dust hurtling through an infinitesimally expanding void. I am one of many specks attached to the aforementioned slightly larger than I’s respective cosmic dust particle... Yet that makes me seem even lonelier than if I were the only speck of dust in existence. We are a species that craves a higher power than ourselves. I can’t speak for my deepest wants, as I have no way of knowing how to fulfill them. How can I soar among the stars, defying the vacuum, swimming in neutron ash exploding its enriched guts across a beautiful, unreachable cosmic dreamscape? The answer is of course I cannot... that is if you are a logical thinker disregarding the possibility of a divine intervention that would allow me this interstellar trip. I have no way of knowing how to express or know the deep longings within myself, let alone the different longings inside others. For the sake of my own intellectual meditation though I’ve imagined this same hurt can be felt by humans everywhere.Throughout time, and throughout our places on the planet earth... the only home we have ever known. Perhaps that hurt inspired some, as it has whipped at me. The closest word that I could compare it to is an inadequecy of things that I will never achieve, and being who I am, could not hope to turn back the clock and relive the only time in my life I truly had a sense of friendship and love. A time when I truly believed I was worth more than I am, and had a fire in me to be great. Perhaps that is the same lonesome depression from which gods were created in the minds of humanity. We long for someone, a parent even, to forgive them for their societal missteps, and to intervene in the cold reality of their self awareness allowing them to do the impossible. Maybe to give them a different purpose than to further human understanding in our brief bask in the sun, by offering a created knowledge of more life after this one has ended. Many of us have chosen to attribute a lack of understanding instead with a hypothesis filler (god did it so you don’t need to look further). All this has done is hold back our understanding, and alienate those who want to see past something that they see as an absurd construct with no scientific or logical backing (as all other things in our universe have). We are damned because we chose to face a hard truth rather than a reassuring fable. Atheists are less likely to be elected into any government office, with 70% of republican and 42% of democratic voters making the claim they would not vote for someone who did not have the same religious beliefs as them. What believing the earth was made 6,000 years ago or 4.5 billion years old has to do with minimum wage of budgeting seems irrelevant to me, but then again I was raised in a christian home and no longer see the cosmos that small that... maybe that’s just me. Perhaps I’m just imbittered at the idea of a “loving” creator of all things, who by very definition of all things includes suffering, death, and doubt. Maybe it’s the wish to see those who I truly loved again even after I know they are gone, and that being a universal need in ones deepest emotionally receptive part of the mind, that draws people to a belief that this is a plan, and not just nature. I’ve rambled for a bit too long now. Maybe this is just me trying to let my rage and crushing depression out... I suppose I’ll leave it with a thought a bit more optimistic, and less of a ranting nature. Why would god give you love just because you want him to? If you want love than the love has got to come from you.

A Poem, about a Dream, about Dying PT 2... by Blake

I heard a familiar voice ask me, “Wasn’t that fun?”,

And I replied, “I’m sorry if I hurt anyone.’,

And without even thinking she threw me back towards the Earth,

Away from the edge of the non-universe,

She said, “Better luck next time don’t worry so much.”,

Without ears I couldn’t hear, I could just feel the touch,

Then time ran slanted, and I knew my old face,

I should have felt happy, but I’m not so brave,

But then like fire I burned through the sky,

Even though I was dead I was afraid I might die,

As I smashed into life, into Earth, into dirt,

How my skin did explode leaving only my shirt,

From that shirt grew a seed, and that seed bore a fruit,

And that fruit was me only without the suit,

But starting anew I’d forget everyone,

And that seemed like hell so just like a gun,

I exploded back upwards into the night sky,

Reaching back towards the voice because surely I’d died,

Year after year my bark got longer,

My trunk expanded, and my mind grew less somber,

But I found I couldn’t move too terribly fast,

Now I had roots and leaves I could not impasse,

As a tree on the world I had lost all my friends,

I could hear all their voices as I raced towards the end,

I had hidden so long from the world that I knew,

Instead choosing galaxies, suns, and wonders brand new,

But my friends all sang to me, beckoning to come,

So i bent my poor branches, and soaked up the sun,

The voices faded, and I forgot my old life,

A tree with a dream can’t fly through the skies,

So I fell asleep softly at the edge of that cave,

I could have gone deeper, but now I was brave.

A poem about a dream about dying... by Blake

Darkness, Silence, Floating through space,

I didn’t know who I was because I had a new face,

Without ears, or eyes, or a mouth of my own,

How could I be sorry if I had hurt anyone,

But then I got blasted out of sky out of dark,

And the Blue of the world gave my body a spark,

When I reached out my fingers to touch the new air,

I was ripped away quickly but I didn’t care,

As my spirit went upwards away from the Earth,

I felt a slight bit of sadness leaving that dirt,

But sadness melted from me as I flew through the dark,

Because I saw my old friends and that warmed my sad heart,

We each smiled and laughed as we drifted through space,

Leaving planets, moons, and stars in our wake,

How I forgot the toils of a life long gone by,

As the cosmos grew smaller and time was a lie,

One by one they each left, and went their own way,

 Starting lives again, but this time in a brand new place,

Every one of them flew off on their own path,

Eventually I was alone because I had died last,

But I could not decide where to rest for my days,

I should have lived again clearly, but I’m not so brave,

So I floated on through the black of the sky,

Leaving planets, moons, and new stars behind.

I crashed through the water that was the universe,

And I lost my body, so I let out a curse,

But no sound could be heard as there was no me,

A conscience, lonely, that no one could see.

Students Fed Up With Michelle Obama’s School Lunch Overhaul — Menu-Item Snapshots Spell Out Why

[shybairnsget-nowt]

Wow that is depressing. 

[realdowntomarsgirll-deactivated]

okay but is that michelle’s fault for pushing for healtheir lunches or is it school districts’ faults for cutting corner by cutting calories but not making lunch any healthier?

let’s look into it.

[muranette]

^^^Agreed. She is trying. School boards aren’t.

[shitgarbageoldblog]

Yeah that looks like some of exactly the same shit they served when I was in highschool but less of it.

[hands0me--jackass]

DO NOT BLAME MICHELLE OBAMA FOR THIS SHIT.

Her heart is in the right place. This isn’t what she means by healthier lunches. She wants healthier options NOT less food.

Blame the school boards who’d rather take away food to spend less money because adding healthier foods costs more.

[batgrlintheburb]

I reblogged for the commentary about school districts cutting corners

[babyblakester]

How could it possibly be the schools?! When I was in the midst of graduating a year early from my highschool they were nothing but saints, and looking out for my best interest. I can't believe this would be the school systems fault... Especially when they lied to my face multiple times telling me that I was unable to graduate early due to the law, that I had to wait months to even apply (which was untrue I found out as soon as I went to a godsend they call Harris academy), and that they were looking out for me. I discovered that not only is it incredibly legal to do graduate whenever you damn well out the effort in, the reason they lied through their teeth to me is because of a thing called the Mitch Daniels scholarship. If you graduate early you get 4000 $ in a scholarship to any university within the state of Indiana, but if you graduate as a senior THE SCHOOL gets money and you get NOTHING. Don't blame the government for the education system seeing you as a dollar sign and not a human being.

NEW VIDEO RELEASED OF MENTALLY ILL MAN TASED TO DEATH IN POLICE CUSTODY FOR “SAGGING PANTS”

On November 26, 2013, 38 year old Ervin Edwards, partially deaf and mentally ill, was arrested by police for sagging his pants and taken to the West Baton Rouge Parish jail in Louisiana. He only lived for a few more minutes inside of the cell.

For 18 months, police have lied over and over again about what happened the night Ervin Edwards died in their custody. Now that a video of their despicable actions has been released, ( Warning very tough to watch ) it’s clear they murdered this man and left him to die all alone in his jail cell. 

Here are the 5 things you need to know:

The Video Shows an Officer Held a Taser on Him for 1 Minute, Contradicting Earlier Claims

Edwards Was Left Alone & Unresponsive in the Cell for 10 Minutes Before He Was Given Medical Aid

An Internal Review Found No criminal wrongdoing by the Officers

His Girlfriend Told Officers He Had Health Issues That Could Make the Use of a Taser Fatal

A Corrections Expert Said the Video is ‘One of the Worst Things I’ve Seen’

Some things you missed out on if you only saw the movies/didn't read the full appendices to Lotr

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THEM STOP READING YOU BREADSTICK • Sam becomes mayor of the shire for 7 consecutive 7 year terms. He also has 13 children with Rosie. When Rosie passes away Sam finally retires and as he was a ringbearer (however briefly) he is granted passage to Valinor (where the elves/ringbearers/istari go or are from) finally taking a ship from the grey Havens and seeing frodo again. • After the war of the ring Legolas and Gimli travel back to Fangorn forest (where legolas expressed his wish to walk among the trees there in the book). They also travelled back to Helm's Deep to see the glittering caves which Gimli had expressed a desire to truly explore the vastness of them comparing them to that of khazad-dum (moria). Gimli did not care about Fangorn, as legolas did not care about caves, but both accompanied the other as they promised one another. Legolas was one of the latter elves to leave Middle Earth, and left with Gimli for Valinor (gimli was given the name Elf Friend and was the only dwarf to ever sail to the undying lands). •Boromirs still dead •6 years after returning to the shire pippin married a woman named Diamond Long Cleeve. They had one son named Faramir (whom later marries Sam's daughter Goldilocks). He later became Thain of the shire for nearly 50 years. Upon Merry's return and marriage to Estella, he was named Master of Buckland. He was known as the tallest Hobbit to ever live beating Pippin out by less than an inch (they became the two tallest hobbits even beating Bandobras Bullroarer Took due to their large consumption of rnt water back in Fangorn). After pippin's resignation as Thain he and Merry revisited Rohan and Elessar (aragorn). After arriving in Gondor to visit Elessar, they both decided to stay (which they both did for the remainder of their lives eventually being buried in the hall of kings along side one another and Aragorn as well) •Faramir succeeded his father as the steward of Gondor until the day of Aragorns coronation where he have up his office and title to aragorn. Aragorn in turn reinstated him on the spot saying that as long as his line would last Faramir and his descendants would be stewards of Gondor. Aragorn appointed Faramir Prince of Ithilien making him not only steward but one of the two highest ranking officials in the entire kingdom. He married Eowyn and had one child named Elboron. •Gandalf sailed back to Valinor retaking his true name Olorin (as Gandlf just means grey wanderer in elvish). Not much is said after he rejoined the other maiar and the valar. Though many don't realize Gandalf himself was a ringbearer of the ring of the elvish ring of fire Narya making him both ringbearer and maiar so double ability to go to Valinor I suppose. •Upon his crowning Aragorn took the name Elessar (which means Elf Stone) Telcontar (Quenya elvish for Strider). Aragorn married Arwen shortly after and had 1 son and a few daughters (The son Eldarion would succeed Aragorn to the throne) His rule was marked by renewed relations between all the free peoples of middle earth. When he felt he had ruled long enough (nearly 120 years) he simply decided to die. And he did. Arwen passed less than a year later of a broken heart, and Eldarion succeeded his father as a great ruler. •Sauron died right? Sort of... As a maiar his spirit would return to Valinor but he was banished by the Valar. Without the power of the ring he would never be able to regain his physical form, but his spirit was doomed to roam middle earth until the end of days. This has been a LOTRPSA by your friendly neighborhood BabyBlake

Ya know if gandalf has taught me anything I guess to me it would be that there is to never be down on yourself because there is so much more in this world to love than could possibly love you back. So what's wrong with just loving things that grow

middle earth meme: objects [1/5] ➝ the one ring

"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.”

[babyblakester]

This is actually just a snip of the full poem which I find a bit more ominous

"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."
