Obama Deception: Review & Rants

Film: Obama Deception & other thoughts::

I watched it the the other week, and of course by the title, the content didn't lend itself to the "hope" and realness that I put on Barack. I didn't want to believe it, because i really felt through his words and energy, that some sort of change would eventually happen. Maybe it's too early to call it, but really, I've always felt that the President was always a puppet for the people really in charge. The 1%...

As far as the movie, Alex Jones delivers an impressive hunt for the truth. I'm not familiar with him or his views , but I can appreciate his spirit in "Questioning Everything." We shouldn't ever forget this. And me, well I'm just a forgetful dood. So sometimes, it takes a while to snap out of it. And often I find myself going in and out of this.. . because we're so distracted.
I find myself on facebook constantly.. and now twitter. I appreciate this technological social movement, but at the same time, feel like too much information is being passed through for our own good. But its the way of the universe. It is what it is, and we have to adapt to this speedy rampage for instant gratification.

Going back to the film though, I discovered that Obama isn't the person I thought he was. Maybe I'm just fooled and completely gullible, but my instinct tells me that Obama is really no different from the other Presidents... The film said, "Kennedy was our last REAL President.." I wish i was around in that era to understand what that really means and feels like. But what we have today is an imbalanced world. And the only solution is to balance ourselves within. That's the truth, and one oft he only truths know. Obama can only do so much. I'm sure he has good intentions, and playing the cards that he's dealt, but no matter what, i can't depend on him or anyone else to save me.

This kind of reminds me of a lyric from Bambu off of Exact Change, on a song called "Like Us": "Regardless of how much money you can clock/Jay-z and Barack, didn't change my block...." Take it for what it is, but i see a really true dude like Bambu seeing right through this. And i really appreciate that, someone i can relate to lyrically, can go against the grain. I like what he's sayin, even when i don't like the thought of it.

Hopefully, there's other like me who feel the same way... Who would like to make a change, and starting with themselves first. Here's my personal list ::
_. ease off of the daily social networking, perhaps set a day where i can check up, instead of my daily habit.
_. appreciate interaction with the world, daily commute, work,
_. take my time, single out the details in life, appreciate the art around me.
_. examine each move i make with scrutiny, and making sure its beneficial not just for me.
_. give back in some form: inspiration, motivation, praise..
_. stay mentally, physically, emotionally, healthy.
_. always question everything.
