I am not a prophet. I am not a philosopher. I am a simple man from humble beginnings.

Existence is a topic of thorough research that was introduced into the curriculum of my life late in my adolescence. Born to a family of Latter Day Saints I was introduced to an obscure ideology that is nothing other then a conglomeration of all of the religious rhetoric known to Joseph Smith at the time he organized their church. Friendships that have come and gone opened my vision to perceptions differing from that of my parents. Vexed by the multitude of  differing beliefs held by my peers I was unable to sit idle in the comfort of my parents thoughts on this reality. Searching through the text that I have the opportunity to read I found many answers, however, none of them were to the ultimate questions I wanted answered. Endless hours of study, discussion, and pondering have been utilized on the research necessary to find these answers I so utterly yearn for.

Today marks a grand day in my life.  I have answered nothing, yet I am satisfied. Content for the first time in so many years I sit at this keyboard with tears my eyes because I know I no longer have to search. The answers I have been looking for are all around me. Whether there is an eternal recurrence, an after life, reincarnation, or simply death, I no longer care to search for what will actually come to pass. All of the organization and systems of control which have allowed few to benefit from the back  breaking and tedious labor of the majority is absolutely imperative to the progression of mankind. Although at times negative consequences are imposed on people who we do not see as fit to deserve such a result from their actions, in the grand scheme of life it is critical in their instance so that another may enjoy a moment of their own. We are pursuing our own end, and when we reach it we will start a new beginning. So my friends remember every moment as if it was your last. Existence is eternal and we are bound to it. Creation is an endless chain using the expression of our individuality as the strength that binds it together. Tomorrow go out and try to make the person next to you happy, and if you do I am optimistic that soon we will all be able to die with a smile.

2012

It is time to end another year
Will you let out a yell, embrace a friend, or shed a tear
Many memories have been made
Foundations for incredible friendships have been laid
While all around the world there is turmoil
Over what is above and below the soil
However, do not despair
This is the recurrence of our human affair
The speculations of what will happen at the end of 2012 are in
Mostly stimulated by prophecies ranging from Nostradamus to the Mayan
The question still remains of what will happen when this next year comes to a close
Which no one really knows
Therefore all we can do is live on for another year
Making resolutions we will not come near
Happy new year everyone
May we all live peacefully together when 2012 is done
