knowledge is POWER...Knowledge is HECTIC!

I'm on the verge of cracking in a way.
Ah I'm about to study for my last exam for tomorrow. I just realized there is SO MUCH I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING!!

It just overwhelms me how the stuff I'm reading and learning about, is never going to completely satisfy my UNDERSTANDING until I know all the aphorisms, allusions, double meanings etc.

I'm studying for my Topics in Shakespeare Course, and SHIT SON! There is SO much to denote in Shakespeare's plays. Whether it was written by Him FULLY or not, DAMN...So many underlying themes, puns, and hardcore double meanings!

Much like a Lot of Wu-tang songs, and other Really good Musicians and Artists, there are ENDLESS deeper meanings that can be interpreted in anything!!!

******************************************************************************

IF you read my post below, I am in a constant pursuit of KNOWLEDGE!!! and Now at this hour is no different. I say I AM studying, but really I'm wiki'ing and google searching random things of interest!

(Damn this crazy information Age!!! I LOVE and HATE Thee!)
Things just Feel so Overwhelming because I WANT TO KNOW more, I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING!!!

******************************************************************************

But I KNOW that it is IMPOSSIBLE to KNOW EVERYTHING! It's just this human complex in me, My want to BECOME like God, by gaining knowledge (Eating the APPLE)! I won't stop trying though, just because it is what drives me to learn and understand...
Although I still need to LEARN to control my mind to not get so overwhelmed with this, and UNDERSTAND that my capacity to learn is ENDLESS, meaning I can constantly keep learning and learning, and there is no such thing as being able to know everything! There is however, such thing as KNOWING a lot!


To know everything is to know nothing.


Basically the purpose of my rant is to VENT out my desire to want to DO So MUCH IN MY LIFE!!! I want to travel, I want to explore the World, the Universe, Watch Movies all day, Watch all the Nostalgic T.V Shows/Cartoons from the 90's, Read Graphic Novels and all pieces of Literature...and the LIST GOES ON!!!

I feel so limited in my life. There really is Not enough time for me to do everything in ONE Lifetime!

Therefore I'll just have to do the MOST I can with what TIME I have.


What got me overwhelmed and thinking like this in the first place???
Well as I listen to my Beats, it overwhelms my mind how GOOD Music can BE!!! particularly Hip hop from the 90's! Plus MF GRIMM But beyond that, I listen to a lot of Classical Music TOO! (So mesmerized by Claude Debussy right now!) Then Jazz from the 40's, 50's, 60's (Miles Davis)...The List goes on! It sparked interest because a lot of crazy Hip Hop beats sample Jazz hits, some classical music, and just other great sources of inspirational sound.
Everytime I hear a crazy beat/sound, that stimulates my mind beyond anything I can explain, I go friggin **berserk!!! Like How something THAT Good be able to enter my mind??? If you don't understand me, listen to one of your favourite songs in the WHOLE world, and just get lost in its sounds. How can these sound frequency's fuse together to create something that is SO incredible??? If I could express how I feel like when I hear Music, put your visualization on your Itunes (or winamp or Wmedia Player, or whatever you use), all those crazy colours that explode as it goes with the beat, THAT's how i FEEL like my mind is when I listen to music...and or when I read, and try and understand something that is really mesmerizing and Deep

(Exhales deeply)

ALSO I just watched this episode recently. It's from "The Twilight Zone" and the episode is called "Time Enough At Last"

For those of you who Don't Know, its been parodied a lot from Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy and other t.v shows. About the LAST guy on the planet, who Loves to READ, but then breaks his glasses and is Not able to read! (its Sad, yet FUNNY at the Same time) Its funny because its So Ironic!
It just also summarizes my rant in a segment. We can't know everything, nor can we do whatever we want, whenever we want! Therefore just ACCEPT what you can and Live your life... well something like that at least. I've been meaning to actually watch this for a long time, and I finally found Time enough at last...during my "study" breaks.

HERES THE VID!!! "Time Enough At Last"
The Twilight Zone - Time Enough At last



LASTLY I want to Leave you with some Quotes that I found really inspiring, and helped me to vent out my feelings in the First Place.


That which does not destroy us makes us stronger. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Lost time is never found again. - Benjamin Franklin

If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. — Benjamin Franklin

The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge caused men to fall. - Francis Bacon


THEREFORE

Knowledge Is Power, Power Corrupts. Study Hard, Be Evil
(but not really =P)

At the end of the day, I write this because I realize, that sometimes we (humans) need to vent out our FRUSTRATION of being human!!!

Naw' means???

Again the only formula to take control of THIS, (I find at least) is to keep it R.E.A.L!!!
I just have to Respect, Endure, Accept, and Love my human flaws, so I won't feel so sporadic and all over the place. Control is the KEY, to Keeping it REAL!

Peace and Love
