"OWS" - Yes, I'm a college student. Surprised?

Ya know, I guess I'm a bit confused by the whole "OWS'... thing. I ... ME ... I am a college student. I graduate this December/January. I just caught word of all this. No clue what's going on, because I don't have time to read all of the articles etc. But I can safely say that working hard and earning it ( in other words paying your dues ) will always get you one step closer to your final goal. It's not the loans, the money, the debt, etc. that is the problem. It's the people running it. The system is actually great. Just like the justice system. Even though people say it's garbage, truthfully it's the only system that works with everything from top to bottom taken into consideration when making an ethical decision.

Example : In the justice system, a man is put on trial for murder. He is found guilty and either sentenced for life or given the death penalty. However, I did not specify how he committed murder or why he committed this crime. Why? Because either way he will end up in the same place since it was the act of what he did. For all we know the man given this death sentence could have killed a man for sleeping with his wife, or worse, raping his wife. Or we could take this a step further and have it that this man is seeking revenge due to the death of his family ( FRANK CASTLE, The punisher ) so he decides to kill and murder every goon and gang member he lays his eyes on, or even gains knowledge of. The issue here is he is still committing murder and is still dealt with just like those gang members.

Alright so with that cleared out of the way, College and the loan systems here are the same. It's all about how you deal with it and how you have planned this out from the start. There is a reason why college's go to extreme lengths to help you start "your plan". I personally have my own plan, but it isn't something generic and has a little more depth to it. More importantly I chose a profession that hundreds and millions of people will be needing until the day I die and may carry out even further into the future generations. That is Technology. I knew for a fact that this would be the best option, thankfully I also enjoy it.

Truth be told, everyone in today's society uses some form of technology. Whether it's a phone, computer, television - you name it. Not only can I perform diagnostics on this, but I specialize in creating the visual input and output, as well as function of the majority of the programming and other types of code that you use in your every day life. I'm the one who makes it simple, not because I have to, but because I enjoy it and actually want you to be able to also access what I can, just in a different way. This profession I will also be constantly learning new things until my life passes. Technology constantly progresses at a steady rate.

The thing is a degree in this WILL help. I have been told hundreds of times that by me getting a degree in this doesn't really matter, it's just a piece of paper. Well, let me explain that this piece of paper ( before I even receive this , just stating I'm in college ) has landed me some pretty sweet gigs and continues too with all of the experience I gain.

OWS, all of this stuff, to be completely honest , I will be able to pay back ALL of my college "loans" and everything has that is put into my education in literally five years max. Why? Because of that smallish piece of paper. There is a reason why college rates are so expensive. Normally because the assumption that those who have attended college or are in college and still passing with a 3.5 GPA provide the ability to not only make new jobs but create the next best thing.

These are the people that in ten years time could take over what you see today. This is the truth. I think that is why I'm not really concerned about whether or not the government pays for me or not.

HOWEVER - I will state this in the most blunt terms as a I possibly can. IF you do pay for those who are seeking college. THEY WILL LEARN and THEY WILL BETTER THE COUNTRY ( Unites States ) . This is a true fact. The more quality you have within your country, the more strategic power you have. That is extremely simple and young children even know this.

The only thing that truly stops this from happening is one word, and the word is greed. People can have a terrible outlook on college because they think they aren't smart enough to go through it, nor do they think they are worthy of great things. Which is completely wrong. Every man, woman and child has the ability to be amazing and can go through this education system with their head held high.

Every person has the ability to gain knowledge and better themselves and help others. I know personally that when I get my design firm up and running in a few years time ( which has already started by the way ) I want to hire QUALIFIED programmers, designers, UI/UX designers, Developers, content managers, database managers, consultants, business administrators etc. But I can't do that if you, as the person, don't have the proper qualifications. A degree from ANY college stating pretty much that you know what you're doing. Yes it requires a lot of hard work, but YOU... YOU... and yes YOU... can do it. Seriously.

You can do anything you put your mind to and can overcome any obstacle that is set in your path. You can because you are brilliant. You are amazing and you don't even know it.

Ignore the media, ignore the politics, ignore the cries and whines of everything around you. Become consumed by a passion and deliver something to the people that says, "Look what has been created to help you through your times of sorrow, fear, and hunger. This will help put food on the table for you and your family. This will better your children's future, and their children's future. This will ease your worry and concerns." You can do this. You can help.

This means even if you have to take a job you DESPISE in order to move to the next level. Not everyone is immediately handed the "top dog" position right off the bat, and in my opinion, those who have to work for the "top dog" position are much stronger. I personally had to work in fast-food before I could even get to where I'm at now. I hated it, but ya know what, I got through it. I was told by many that I was worthless, a waste of time, stupid - I was even told I would end up in prison.. or worse dead... by the age of 21. Obviously that was all wrong.

Things change, but they only change if YOU allow it. You can either sit here and continue to weep because you enjoy the drama and hope that maybe, someone else, might take care of it, OR you can go out there and face the hardships and do it right, get it ready and set a focus on your goal.

My goal is to be able to better the current web applications we have today and help those who are in absolute dire need, and of course support my family. These are my goals. I want to show the world that I can deliver something that will help make their life run smoother, even if it's just the little things like checking your email, browsing the internet or turning on a computer, and these are just my technology goals! This has nothing to do with my writing, creating and publishing goals.

Remember the choice is yours.

How to become a Super Hero

Hello Everyone!


I apologize for being a little inactive this past month or so. I have been very busy as of lately developing websites and creating new graphics and such for my portfolio. I have also been reading this new book called How to become a Super Hero, written by Sage Michael.

Now normally you guys know I won't endorse a book or title unless I know for a fact it's worth a read. I can safely say that this book is rather amazing. You can call it something similar to a self-help type of book, except it makes more sense. ( ha-ha ) Not saying that others don't but knowing that there are a lot of analogies and metaphors to the super hero world I find it easier to relate to than others.



Knowing this I had asked Sage if I could do a review about his book as well as help him in his ventures. He agreed to it and has wished me the best of luck. Sage is not only a man who understands his craft but he also understands life. His thought pattern and mindset that he has poured into this book with words will not only help people, but people will actually act on it. I know that I personally am applying a few new things to my life, making some new changes.

I feel as though that Sage will actually go a very long way in his entrepreneur career as well as being a known author. Again this advice and knowledge that he is willing to share is great and a lot of it are things that are easy to do yet challenging at the same time.

I am going to challenge you. If you feel as though you are stuck in a rut with your life or just feel like everything you are doing doesn't seem to really make a major breakthrough, pick up this book. I can guarantee it will have a lot of eye openers in it and you will be able to start that journey in becoming that Super Hero.

Utilitarian Ethics

Hey there!

I hope everyone is doing well, today I have been speaking with my professor in my advanced ethics class. If you didn't know I was doing college ethics, you do now, ha-ha.

There was a question brought up today, the question is :

" The utilitarian framework is an ethical approach that evaluates the results or consequences of the decision. Not all decisions are necessarily ethical because it results in the desired result. Theft is not necessarily ethical if the end result is jail or a life of crime. Utilitarian ethics says that if the end results of the theft is the betterment of your family, or the betterment of all parties, then the decision to steal could possibly be the best decision given all the facts. Because utilitarian ethics are fact driven, if you change the facts you change the potential "rightness" of the decision. If you steal only to get money to buy things you don't need then this is clearly wrong. When a father is driven to steal to feed for his family or care for their needs then people have more empathy with him and are more inclined to be lenient with him if caught.

Take for instance the movie John Q with Denzel Washington. Denzel's character committed countless felonies, including kidnapping and assault. But because of the facts surrounding his set of circumstances everyone in the movie felt sorry for him. In his mind the ends justified the means. His son received the treatment he needed despite the fact that Denzel took an entire hospital hostage and endangered the life of many people.

This in my view is truly utilitarian. The consequences of his actions resulted in him saving his sons life.

Do you think that most people make decisions on principles of utility or consequence that take all things into consideration (e.g. all the people affected by the decision made; or all the bad things that could occur)? "


and my reply to this question is :

" This actually goes very deep and has many factors to it. I personally know a lot of people that go off of the Utilitarian views in life, however, there is always something that stops them from acting on a fact in a situation like this. The reason for that is because we have deepened feelings of some sort of emotion. Knowing that Utility views are key at times, as humans it can be difficult to bring yourself to a level of logic to surpass all feeling. In this case it would have been Denzel Washington's situation. Knowing that in the movie this was for his one and only son, it would be hard to really see anything else, almost as if you put the blinders on and focused on that one goal, no matter what happens. For people who have their hands in many different gloves must make a decision based on consequence, mainly because of emotion, which is something that humans will truly never be able to remove from their being no matter how much they have convinced themselves that the emotion is gone. This is of course saying the only form of ethics is to better the person on factual consequence outside of the standard system we have today in society. Although it's funny, because emotion is what drives us to Utilitarian ethics, yet people would claim that these acts are unethical and there is always a better way. Which I do agree with, their is always a better way. So really what it comes down to is self awareness and self gratification, even in desperate times. So really when you weigh it out, in the end, Utilitarian ethics is a very selfish form of self pity. Which then drives into a whole different question of, am I truly being selfish when I am trying to help the ones I love? That answer would still be yes, because that is what you want and you are the one acting upon it, by definition of course. Which goes back into stating The betterment of your family and all parties. The only parties though that were bettered were yours, ( saying you are Denzel Washington's movie character in this case ) and you have threatened the lives of many for the one, which is completely backwards from The lives of the many out weigh the lives of the few. This would then show that if you were forced in to taking on hostages to get what was needed, ethically, would this still be a view of Utilitarian ethics? Although you are bettering your family by doing so, you are still putting many in harms way; knowingly and threatening their lives. These people could have families of their own, children who are sick too. It's something that is never known from the start upon an assumed action by the person who is affected by the Utilitarian ethical motive. So I suppose in the end when you really think about it, people are very selfish, and jump to Utilitarian ethics most of the time. With that said, the answer to this is yes, most people do make decisions on principles of utility. However, once you've pulled apart and analyzed every option and realize what you are doing by action is wrong; jumping to this conclusion immediately, you have a whole new outlook on life. Which you then realize, it's not all about me and bettering my family no matter the cost. Bettering a family is good, but bettering them the right way, knowing that there is always another option. "

I am now curious to know how you feel about Utilitarian ethics. Do you feel as though most people today go off of the Principles of Utility? Why or why not?

I was Born for this, the freedom fighter.

Hey everyone!

So I took a break for a little bit here as well as being extremely busy building websites, and I am still not officially 100% back as of yet seeing how I still have a lot more to do, but I've had this one thing on my mind. Money will never truly make you happy, even if you are poor; broke and feel as though it will help your family friends etc.

You will truly only be happy when you reach an accomplishment or actually do something worth meaning and worth while. Also, something that walks hand in hand with this is fame, does it really though? No, not really. You can still be well known and be that dude who still sits on the corner of a street holding a sign looking for work.

A quote I will like to use here is from the band Flat Foot 56. The quote says,

" To all my brothers, to all my brothers’ sons. You can’t find freedom in money, it has to be won."

It's true, you just can't, in fact it could end up causing even more problems. Sure it's great to have, but the meaning of it doesn't hold any true value. So I will say that to all of you who are reading this right now, you can't find freedom in money, it has to be won. Muster up the courage, go out their ;break those chains, fight and win your freedom! We will be here fighting right along beside you. Don't let money, something so insignificant, bar you down.

On a side note, Smile, it's epic. :D

Just another cog in the comic industry.

Hello everyone,

Today I've been feeling rather discouraged. It's been some time now that I have been going strong with everything that I am doing, but it seems as though a few things have caught some snags. More importantly I've come to the realization that writers in the comic industry are greatly unappreciated by artists and major companies, but more importantly rendered rather useless. I suppose I've been just trying to block it out as much as possible, but the skin is wearing thin.

It becomes difficult to compete in an industry where not many people are actually willing to work together to put something through, especially in an industry that requires you to work with many people to form a great creation.

I feel as though I am just another cog in this war machine, whether I do anything at all really doesn't matter in this industry because I am just a writer with some art background, or so they say. In the end it really just makes you question the motives of not only other people, but of yourself.

I just want to know if I am the only one who feels this way.

Softened Heart

Hey everyone,

It's been rough these past couple years to say the least, but like everyone else, issues are always lingering. Which is actually a great thing, well for me anyways. It sounds silly, but honestly, I think with out a lot of these issues reminding me to be humble, caring, understanding and sympathetic , I would probably end up being the most egotistical grouch on this side of the planet.

This morning I woke up feeling happy, yet sad at the same time. I suppose that sounds a bit bi-polar, but these feelings feel true none the less. It's difficult for me because I haven't really experienced that joy or happiness in awhile. Not the typical joy or happiness, like " oh awesome! I just found a $100.00 bill on the ground!" No no, it's more like, a peace. Something that I haven't felt since I was kid. The words that came to me immediately were "It's like the water that reflects the face, so the heart reflects the man."

My heart has definitely softened over these past couple of years, learning a lot. I knew what my goal was, and I am still aiming for it, but I can safely say it's now for the right purposes. I was speaking with my brother-in-law yesterday about facts pertaining to our society and just people in general. It has come to our attention that the change has started, in us. Which is good.

Two very bitter, selfish, egotistical and very angry nature type of people that have begun to open their heart to the word "empathy". A word I rarely ever enjoyed using. In other words, I have found finally what I am looking for and I can now move on to step two. It's that answer that I have been seeking for so long.

That answer is more of a truth. We, ( referring to everyone in society, including myself ) tend to put ourselves in a specific rank. We look at things as "this must be done because this is what was said and must be done." I have found out two things this past year. One, money is replaceable, time isn't. Two, we are all children, a bunch of kids hanging out on the playground. If things are really looked at this way, it seems rather silly how these issues become. Children when having issues with each other or something that is important to them, they will work together and are quick to forgive each other. " I'm sorry charlie, I didn't mean to break your toy" or "I'm sorry Beth, here, you can play with mine." The concept children have is so simple, but it is perfect.

Even everyday issues like financial means, stresses over deadlines. " You can do it charlie! Those monkey bars look scary, but you can do it!" or " Jack, you don't have to be so mean to us, there is enough room for you to come and play with us too." These are concepts as adults that we forget and then become hard to fathom.

My conclusion, I would rather play with my time wisely and re-learn the concepts that children provide us with today. Have a great day everyone, and remember play nice, the game was made for fun.

More than a thought, More like a feeling

Hey Everyone,

It's nice to see everyone has such an interest in my blog here. I appreciate you, the reader, coming out and reading what I have here on this website. This is probably one of the only areas where I can truly express my feeling and thought, aside from my fiction stories. I just wanted to take this time and thank you for being here, taking time out of your life to experience a little piece of mine.

Thank You, it really does mean a lot.

Today has been a strange day and most definitely a strange night. Things from the past have come back, really great memories. Some bad, but more so great. Talk about a very comforting feeling, something I haven't had in over eight years. I don't want to go into to much detail on this feeling or what has happened, but I can safely say I have some inner peace tonight. I will definitely be sleeping well.


With that being the topic, it can be difficult at times to look at our past in our present, in other words something right there in front of us from many years ago. Whether it be good or bad, it can be difficult regardless what state someone is in, especially if you had an emotional connection with that moment in the past with whomever or whatever it may be.

Something that I have realized facing this and experiencing this now is that everything will be okay, no matter what has happened or what happens in the future, even what may be happening right now. No matter what the circumstances are, that situation that may haunt you, or may even bring you a great memory that is no longer there or will no longer ever be again, it's alright.

You as the person have not only moved forward through your success and failures in life, but are a stronger person for even facing such a thing. Not only that, but the understanding, knowing that you are not who you once were, better or for worse, is a great thing. The change of it all, is great. If you end up beating yourself up over something, or listen to that lingering memory, you will only remain stationary and not move at all.

Closing this here, it's okay to move forward and it's okay to still remember those times, but more importantly it's okay to be happy with who you are and what makes you, you.

I want you to do something. I got some very wise advice from someone who plays a major influence in my life right now, very close to me. He had said, " You know, every morning I was told that when I wake up, I was supposed to look in the mirror and say good morning until I meant it; it really does make you feel a lot better about yourself. You need to love yourself in order to love others and push through, and leave all of the past behind you. It's the past. Look to a new light." Go look in the mirror when you wake up tomorrow and tell yourself "Good morning" until you mean it. You may notice a change in your day and a change with your outlook of those memories. You are epic, no matter what was said.
