A series of thoughts on my life thus far, in 6 words or less:
Making mind-scapes into land-scapes
Fledgling pushed out of the nest
What's life outside of a classroom?
Only child and still loving it
Lots of potential, never any opportunity
Moving my horizons across the stars
Immortality is found in inside jokes
Vast world, yet living in boxes
One hurdle jumped, one tripped over
Too often, my destinations fail expectations
Teenagers: more predictable than traffic lights
Never understanding why people can't coexist
Greatest truism: my life, my business
Being myself and always turning heads
My downfall? Sharp wit and sarcasm
Hoping dreams aren't hubris in disguise
Happy living life my way everyday

I appreciate the sincerity of man and man's good intentions, but at some point corrections must be made, lest innocent but ignorant words cause more harm than good.
MY NINE COMMANDMENTS
1. I am your God, a God of mercy. As I love you, love me
I find the original "no other gods before me suggestive; is that to say that there are other gods out there to worship?" And I combined this with the commandment of respecting the name of God.
2. Do not ever be so prideful as to be flattered by an idol of yourself or of others; you are frail, as is everything on the earth.
Pride comes before the fall
3. In your times of rest, think of Me and fill yourself with heavenly knowledge: meditate.
I may not go to church on Sunday, but it's important for one to have time set aside for ponderance and transcendental
thought. And personally, I think the "seven days" things has lost its symbolism. The point is to have a time of rest, rest is a sacred thing and a time for discerning, wisdom and esteem.
4. So long as your mother and father are honorable, as their child, give them more honor than they deserve.
There are terrible, horrible people in the world who don't deserve to call themselves parents, but have children: case in point, Ethan Stacey.
5. Unless life is in the balance and you harbor no malice, you shall not murder.
Should the bible be literal or metaphorical? It can only be one or the other, if it's both, then there is no telling what is "real" and what is figurative. If it's literal, many things must be looked upon and doubted, including the original commandment of murder. Otherwise, should I believe that my soldiers overseas are damned? For fighting for their lives and others?
6. Do not cheat on those you commit to and love.
There are many types of "adultery", i've expanded this commandment.
7. Unless life and safety are in the balance, you shall not steal.
My inconveniece is anothers miracle. Do I blame the 8 year old pickpocket that steals for his family and for his belly? No.
8. Unless life is in the balance, do not lie to yourself or others.
The truth is the most precious thing on earth, and it is constantly smothered by false words. If you must respond, respond truthfully, otherwise, find a way to not respond. Honesty, in the end, is best.
9. The only things that truly matter cannot be destroyed. Why covet things- which are dust- when your life is that of a fly?
