push those political agendas and ideologies aside. stop and remember the brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, uncles and aunts, and friends and lovers that have been lost. a soldier's death is only so much of a statistic until you go from Capitol Hill back to a soldier's home.

all these memorial weekend and everyday camps..one day, i'll be in them.

"reality is what you can get away with. if you can't get away with it, it aint real."

don't really know why i like this video, but i do. super catchy tune, too.

this guy's amazing though. was going to sign on with the army but stepped down from a contractual agreement because of his disagreement with u.s. policy towards the middle east. oh, and he would've been a hell of an asset given he knows arabic, spanish, korean, and russian. so you know, he left that part of his life and went on to uc berkeley to get a degree in arabic (in two years) and graduate summa cum laude and then release this free album "the human condition" at the age of 19. damn.

also, got drive-by rickroll'd today in front of school. last thing i'd ever expect, ahahah.
