The Matrix (written 11/21/2008)

Sometimes, I feel like I'm Neo, and I'm in the Matrix. I have already taken the red pill (or whatever color pill he took to realize "the truth"), and I am walking around my neighborhood seeing everything and everyone in "code" or seeing them for what they really are. they dont know that they are being controlled by a superior being and they are living, breathing, and behaving like robots. I take that back, not as robots, but like animals in some instances. Now, I'm not in any way suggesting I am better than anyone because I strongly believe that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses in any area. But, I do believe that ignorance is a deadly deadly virus that can keep you sick and uninformed. It can lock down your brain from receiving any signals of knowledge. It can keep you locked in a particular social class for decades upon decades... The other day while I walked to my car I saw a kid I grew up with. He asked where I worked and I told him that I worked at all the hospitals on Manhattan. He replied "Manhattan? aint that where all the gays are at?"... In my mind I kind of felt sorry for him and his question, but I decided not to laugh or show any type of reaction that'll suggest I was ridiculing him. I said "well there's a specific part that is known to have a large homosexual population, but thats not the whole island"... sigh...



I felt like I've always been "the one". When I was four years old I read books that were at the ninth grade reading level (I used to be smart, Don't really know what happened over time).. I've always had the need to try to know a little bit about everything. But, I guess that's just me. Of course there are agents out there, who's main job is to stop me from rising up and being successful. They transform from looking like regular non suspecting humans to reveal their true form when ever they try to destroy me. There was an incident when I was arguing with my next door neighbors because they were parked in front of my driveway as I waited 40 minutes for them to come outside to move it. Then gave me attitude because they had to move it! Long story short, after a brief flurry of explicatives had been exchanged between us I'll never forget one of their closing attacks..... get ready for this one.. you guys ready? She goes.."you white boy, going to work everyday with your shirt and tie on!"...

I'm sorry but she left herself open... so open I had to stoop down to her level and deliver pae mae's five point punch of death to destroy her (I know, I know, he doesn't teach it to everyone just his very best students). I said some very hurtful things, honestly, I almost felt kind of bad afterwards.....almost.

Of course there are others out there that are enlightened as well. My peeps that fight the secret war against ignorance. And gladly join me in the fight to enlight more soldiers. Offer them a choice between pills. This is the pack I try to stay associated with. People who I can learn from and stimulate thought with. BUT, there are those soldiers who hate the fact that they are enlightened and wish to go back to the simplistic life before they knew what was really going on. They do not want the burden of knowing that the steak they are eating doesn't really taste like steak, but in fact their mind is programed to tell them what a steak tastes like. What if that steak really tastes like corned beef? There are those soldiers that don't want to know the truth, and would rather just eat a delicious ass steak while saying to themselves "ignorance is bliss!".. I have to be careful and be able to realize when I'm dealing with one of these foes, they work with agents very closely..

Now that Barack is Morpheus there may be some hope for change. slowly but surely more of us will continue to destroy these agents, and kill the machines sent out to destroy us by keeping us ignorant. We'll destroy them with our knowledge. I personally like to carry several weapons of knowledge just in case of a sneak attack of ignoranc. Bullets of thought, and laser beams of inspiration. Grenades and mines ready to explode motivation, perserverance, and ingenuity...
