I have spent my sunday primarily in this book:
and I recomend it to any and everyone who is interested in the world outside of Middle/Upper Class Suburbia. Martin Luther King Jr. has allways interested me, but 50 pages into his autobiography, he has truely become a major influence in my life. I cant wait for the other 250 pages. He was a man with a vision. a man with convictions. a man with fears, intelect, downfalls along with achievements. A man who lived for the sake of serving humanity.
Im really excited for the rest of this book.
And I just wanted to share that with you all.
peace.

I’m home. I’m sorry if it seemd I abandoned my blog for a few days, but I had no WiFi for the last 3 days or so.
The “tour” (all one week of it) went fairly well. I was quite anxious to get back home this time…which is kind of wierd. We were only gone a week. I guess I got used to being at home. But all in all, it was a good trip. Lot’s of WalMart. lots of Cracker Barrell (fantastic eats). Lots of time to spend thinking about my condition in which I left (see the blog: Still Trying). I would like to hope I came back, at the very least, a slightly different person. A newer…more improved version of Daley Hake. And if that is the case, I hope the newer Daley will be able to stick.
If anything, I know I am more conscious now. Not to say that I am a better person…at the very least, I now know what a terrible person I have the ability of becoming. This is progress for sure. After all, it is the people who think they have it all together that we need to worry about.
It is far to easy to fall into ruts in life, especially in concern to our morality. We are creatures of extreme habbit. Seems that if we fail to remind ourselves why we do what we do, we can very easily fall victim to the loss of feeling. You begin to live life as a routine. You develope bad routines…some good ones. I thought it was funny that I found myself in such a state, simply because nothing about my life is routine. no school. no “real” job. no girlfriend. I sorta just float around like the strange little artsy kid I am. I was allways afraid of becoming a suburban zombie…but I have since learned it has nothing to do with the lifestyle you lead. Keeping an active heart and mind has everything to do with doing. I am a huge fan of dreaming. I tend to be rather pessimestic, but I do believe in hopes and dreams…but I suppose there comes a point where one must act on such hopes and dreams. Otherwise don’t we just end up sitting on our butt wishing we were something we are not?
this blog is terribly messy. mostly due to my lack of being able to clearly communicate ideas.
“I’ve got big ideas…I’m out of control”
I will stop my attempt to communicate rational thought to ya’ll. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day as far as clarity of mind goes.
Love and Peace.
