from inside.

To know.
Knowing and understanding too much can ruin so much. Sometimes, I would rather be stupid. Sometimes, I would rather not like cute things and thought full crap. Sometimes, I would rather not like the color purple. But this is my peril.
The most annoying things are...
When I censor what I say, type or write.
When customers ask me if I speak Spanish, NO, do you speak English? Sorry if I'm in offending anyone but frankly...it's quite annoying.
When I already know it's no use venting about shit but I won't get any response/input/opinion so I stopped verbalizing it all together. Maybe I need a cat, at least cats meow.
Being ignored and not being able to ignore back because I just...can't.
When people talk too much.
The word "cliche"....absolutely loathe the word.
When I'm not asked or told about something that directly involves me being present or active in.
When grown people are apparently not grown people.
STUPID PEOPLE. OH MY GOD. PICK UP A BOOK.
Naivety.
When people attempt to control me.
The polar opposite.
The fact that I just deleted what I just typed.
Disney movies. I don't like them.
Cold weather.
Grown people who don't know how to do laundry, cook their own food, dress themselves properly, hold down a job or just do shit themselves.

Problems in Philosophy.
"Molyneux problem
The Molyneux problem dates back to the following question posed by William Molyneux to John Locke in the 17th century: if a man born blind, and able to distinguish by touch between a cube and a globe, were made to see, could he now tell by sight which was the cube and which the globe, before he touched them? The problem raises fundamental issues in epistemology and the philosophy of mind, and was widely discussed after Locke included it in the second edition of his Essay Concerning Human Understanding.
A similar problem was also addressed earlier in the 12th century by Ibn Tufail (Abubacer), in his philosophical novel, Hayy ibn Yaqdhan (Philosophus Autodidactus). His version of the problem, however, dealt mainly with colors rather than shapes.
Modern science may now have the tools necessary to test this problem in controlled environments. The resolution of this problem is in some sense provided by the study of human subjects who gain vision after extended congenital blindness. It does occur, but not often. One such subject took approximately a year to recognize most household objects purely by sight. This seems to indicate that this is no longer an unsolved problem in philosophy.
Pyrrhonian regress
Overlooking for a moment the complications posed by Gettier problems, philosophy has essentially continued to operate on the principle that knowledge is justified true belief. The obvious question that this definition entails is how one can know whether one's justification is sound. One must therefore provide a justification for the justification. That justification itself requires justification, and the questioning continues interminably. The conclusion is that no one can truly have knowledge of anything, since it is (due to this Pyrrhonian regress) impossible to satisfy the justification element. In practice, this has caused little concern to philosophers, since the line between a reasonably exhaustive investigation and superfluous investigation is usually clear, while others argue for coherentist systems and others still view an infinite regress as unproblematic due to recent work by Peter D. Klein. Nevertheless, the question remains theoretically interesting."

Mothers.
If my mom were here, she'd be my best friend. She would never leave me hanging. She would talk to me and listen when I just needed an ear. She'd be beautiful. She's never ignore me. I love her and neither of us deserved to lose each other. I will never be the same because no one is like her.
Happy Mother's Day to everyone who has their mother or is a mother. Although today is just a "holiday" created by the American government to profit, it eventually became something of a higher degree of importance and meaning.

Two.
My father made one unspeakably huge mistake in his life. I hate saying or actually writing it. He talks about it almost every time I see him; he always tells me to not fall into the same abyss. I won't make the same mistake, I won't let myself...because if I do, it will forever compromise my happiness.
He tells me there are two decisions in life that matter, one more than the other. I will keep them to myself, guess if you want.

Stupidity.
Although I love blogging, i feel like it isn't nearly as fulfilling as something hand written. The world has grown to become dependent upon social networking, texting, iming, tweeting, and updating their status and "how they're feeling" at the moment. What about picking up a pen and writing something? What about actually seeing someone rather than communication through comments of status'?
I can't stand ignorant and stupid people. My tolerance for them has gotten so low that it's gotten increasingly difficult to willingly be nice to such people. How can you waste your mind? We are blessed to be human..to have the capacity to judge and think and analyze. The brain is an incredibly resilient entity...why discard of it just as you would the peel of an orange? I cannot come to a justifiable answer; in fact, I don't think stupidity can be justified...unless it isn't optional. Most of the time it is though, and it's a terrible, terrible thing.

Multi-tasking theories.
Multi-tasking doesn't exist, you are only switching you attention from one thing to another very quickly. This actually affects intelligence. If you cannot concentrate on one thing for an extended period of time, your mental capacity isn't nearly to its potential.
Words worthy of awe.
It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking . . . in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.

Solitude can be frightening because it invites us to meet a stranger we think we may not want to know--ourselves.

Ayn Rand.
Nothing...NOTHING AT ALL can ever make me un-love Ayn Rand. I agree with all of her philosophies and outlooks on her life. As I read her works, I saw my own thoughts and opinions as I followed every line.
It isn't worth writing down. If you want to pick up Atlas Shrugged and read it, by all means, I won't bother "enlightening" anyone because it'll probably be a lost cause.
Go watch "Atlas Shrugged Pt. 1" if you're lazy and want to get a general idea in regard to what she's all about.
Too bad she's deceased.
