The Star

I don't personally believe in tarot cards. What I do find interesting
though is a particular card. It's called `the star.' What it represents
is something that is true to the world.
The story of the card is beautiful: A fool sits on a rock. He is broken
hearted and very sad. He has no idea where he wants to go, or what to
do with his future. Everything is bleak. A girl then joins him, a
beautiful girl. She gives him some water and fruit to eat, both of
which help heal his pained heart.
He looks up at the stars and remarks that they are beautiful but so
distant.
"They are," The beautiful girl says "Like futures. But if you keep your
eye on one you will never go astray..." as the tale goes she fades away
telling the fool to follow his star.
The meaning is simple but may not be what you expect. Sure, having a
single point in your future to work towards is a good thing... but what
this card says is that good will not come instantly. The person you
love may not like you, the promotion you want may not be coming. But in
time good things will come. If you keep fighting and working for what
you want, good things will happen.
It also states that there are people and organizations that want to
help you. They will be there along the way. You aren't alone. Right now
you may not be able to find happiness, but you can find peace and
healing.
It's not perfect happiness, it's not instant gratification but neither
really exists.
The good times will come.

Emotion and logic

I do not claim to know that much about the brain. There are people who
spend their entire lives studying it and even they still don't
understand it completely (seriously, my friend has a Masters in it) but
I do understand one simple part of it.
Logic and emotion are not connected in any way.
I have never in my life heard someone utter the term `I'm happy for
her/him' and actually mean it. there is always some deep rooted
emotions hitting as they say it. Jealousy, fear, annoyance, etc. People
hide behind this false veneer of logic.
People use logic as a way to hide or maybe control the emotional part.
They say they are happy for someone, or that they wish them the best.
In reality their emotional side... I guess their heart, is screaming
something completely different.
We are human beings, not Vulcans or robots. We are incredibly selfish
and emotional. Instead of hiding these emotions, bottling them up and
doing something stupid later:
Just be honest.
Tell me you've secretly liked me since we were kids and absolutely hate
that girl I'm dating.
Tell her you are jealous of the inheritance she got from her father.
Tell him you don't think he deserves the promotion.
Logically you know that these people deserve what they have, or that
you should be happy of their accomplishments. Emotionally though, you
feel something completely different.
No matter how much you try, the logical side of you is NOT going to be
able to change that emotion you are feeling.
I much rather the honest answer that hurts me now rather than the lie
that hurts me later.
Another important fact is that logic will NOT change your emotion.
Telling yourself all the reasons you should feel something is not going
to change the way you feel about a situation. If you're scared you are
going to stay scared, if you're annoyed you probably won't stop being
annoyed just because you think "I shouldn't be annoyed."
Time, on the other hang, CAN change the way you think.

My (Failed) vow of silence

I'm Sorry.
Due to circumstances outside of my control I am being forced to break
my vow of silence before the full week is up. I was able to not speak a
single word for 48 hours straight. I would have liked to go the entire
time but simply can not.
I can give you some of my observations from the experiment:
One being that in Canadian culture I seem incredibly rude if I do not
say `sorry' on a regular basis. People on the subway and bus look at me
with utter shock on their face when I do not say sorry if I so much as
lightly tap them.
Communication in general became strained for obvious reasons. It's
interesting how complex our speech really is. Things that can be said
in a few words are impossibly hard to sherade. Even writing things down
was rarely very effective as people would get impatient if I had to
explain anything that took more than a word or two to write.
It also became harder to show emotion for some reason. I noticed myself
making much larger gestures than I normally would. I guess I would
usually say something that helps display the emotion and lacking that I
had to compensate by exaggerating it.
I am NOT good at physical humour. While I can usually get a few good
guffaws out of people throughout the average work day, I sadly got NONE
whilst being silent.
I don't believe I did this long enough to notice any massive changes in
my perception to be honest. I would like to do a full experiment at
some point. If you have any questions you can ask them in the comments.
Ps: I ended my vow of silence with the words: "And so it ends." I'm
starting to think I should have said something more important.

I will be taking a vow of silence

I have decided that from Monday, October 3rd to Sunday, October 9th I
will be participating in a vow of silence. I will be pointing a lot of
confused people to this site during that time so I will try to explain
the rules and my reasoning:
First of all, the rules:
I can not speak at all during the time.
I must live as normal a life as possible (social interactions etc)
I may still use technology to communicate (texting, MSN, Skype, Email,
etc)
I can not answer my phone. If you call me I will be forced to text you
in response.
Now on to my reasoning:
I am doing this as an experiment. It is not religious or spiritual in
any way and it is more about communication, self discipline and just
plain curiosity. I want to see if my perception changes at all during
this time.
I will be writing an article that goes over my time being perfectly
silent. I may post it here but I might try to get it published
somewhere else first. I will certainly update this blog though.
You can ask questions, offer encouragement, call me stupid or give me
advice in the comments.

Give something away every week

I guess I'm a bit of a commie but I have an addiction to giving stuff
away. More specifically books.
I have a pretty large collection of books and I seem to always be
adding more to it. Most of these I've read, enjoyed and will probably
never pick up again. So why should I keep them? All they do is take up
space. When a friend is over and talks about something that is relevant
to a book I own I will usually hand it to them and say it's theirs.
I think it's a nice thing to do but it freaks some people out.
Not only is this nice and saves a bit of space it really is the
minimalist thing to do. Books are simply containers for knowledge. Once
you consume that knowledge you no longer need the container. Like when
you eat something. Give that container of knowledge to someone else so
they can enjoy it to.
This isn't just for books. You can give away Cd's, furniture, clothing
and more. Give away as much as you can.
I have a simple rule: I try to give one thing away every week. If I can
do that I feel I've accomplished something.
So what have you given away this week?

Cutting off from the world

I always tell people to make big changes in their lives. Do something
impulsive and awesome. So right now I'm going to do something AS I
WRITE THIS.... Wow, that makes me sound a bit full of myself, but
regardless, I am going to start cutting myself off from the world more.
Right this second I have Facebook open, msn, skype, my cell phone and a
billion other forms of communication. It's pretty obvious I'm addicted
to being chatted at. Maybe I like knowing people are thinking of me or
maybe I just need the social interaction to feel good about myself.
In reality it isn't helping at all.
So I'm going to cut down on my social and chat services. Stop signing
into Facebook so much, close Skype every so often and turn off my phone
on a regular basis. Instead of chatting I should be reading a book,
practicing piano, writing a song, writing a poem, whatever. I should
actually be accomplishing something.
That's my plan. That's what I'm going to do. First, let's close MSN.
Everyone there can text me if they really want to talk... Baby steps.
Maybe I'll close Skype next... and not leave it open all day whilst I'm
at work.
This is going to be hard. But I gotta practice what I preach.
Tune in for updates.

You took a wrong step...

This is not good. You just took a good hard look at your life and
realized you don't like any of it. Your job doesn't make you happy. You
have money issues, relationship problems, a crappy apartment, STILL
don't play any instruments and just for the fun of it you have a cold.
At some point you took a wrong step. You did something that sent you on
a pathway towards... well whatever this is. Life sent you a direction
you just don't like.
So what can you do?
Well here's the best part: anything.
The reality of the situation is that no matter what has happened in
your life, no matter where you are, you have the chance to fix it. You
can give yourself a life of dreams.
The problem tends to be though... What exactly do you want?
This part I can't really help with. I CAN tell you that once you figure
that out the rest is easy. Do you want to be a famous musician? Than
work your ass off at learning an instrument and songwriting... Want to
become a scientist? Than start taking night classes and figure out ways
to finance going back to school.
Of course it isn't as easy as I seem to make it sound. You can't just
magically start going to school. We have obligations. Some of us have
families to take care of or other problems that stop us from doing what
we want. What may surprise you is that their are programs for your
exact situation. When I wanted to go back to school I had to take a
bunch of highschool prerequisites. I was able to take them for about
$40 per class and do them on my own time from home. I was allowed over
a year per class to finish them.
There are other programs just like the one mentioned in the previous
paragraph. You can learn an instrument for free, learn a new language,
travel the world, etc, all for free (or close to it) you just have to
take the time to do the research and work your ass off.
I guess the main point of this dribble is to figure out EXACTLY what
you want. What type of life will make you happy. The rest is just
details.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
