I've been having trouble focusing. . .
My thoughts, lately, are scattered like haiku.
I am trying to find a rhythm to ride.
This blog, thus far, has been me streaming my consciousness.
That's not the theme I want to pervade. I'm looking for the Funk.
Where is the Funk?
It's time to get back on track. The ticking hand of the clock is circling around and round, and I have yet to mention true Funk. So, it is time to change my B-log-ger ways. It's time to find the funk.
Funk is unity. So, people, let's bring it together. If you're reading this and you know some independent artists that have funky grooves, contact me (eggcostume@gmail). I want to rake in the real feel that funk music provides, upload it to my web-page, and display the artist's bio. My hope is to get bring the funk back. I'll need your help. I am looking for YOU.
I want this world to be a funkier place.

And -- Action!
The camera is rolling. Life is but a string of scenes. A straight shot tied from birth, all the way back around to death. Every person you know plays a supporting role in your story. You're nice, and you do the same for them. Sometimes, you notice the "extra" in the back, with a luminous exuberance about them. They are not part of your story, but you make a note of them. There is simply something about these people that seemingly catch your attention. What is this attributing "something" that lights them up? Simple. It's called "Presence."
Presence is what you notice. Presence is what most people notice. Positive Presence is the key to fame. I mean, what else is fame than being noticed by most of the masses?
With positive Presence present in your life, your string of scenes could be benefited greatly. No more falling actions. No more boring isolation scenes. No more redundant drama. You could be the focus of all the scenes taking place within your surroundings. Your presence could overwhelm so many people and turn them on to take interest in your story-line. Shit, your life-movie just turned into a thriller/comedy/romance.
Lets keep it positive people. Be ourselves. Encourage those around us to do the same. If you're shy, that's fine. Just be positive, I'll pay attention. You're always present, even if your presence is muffled by shyness. Lets just keep it cool people. Stay open-minded. Step onto stage, look your audience in the eyes. make your claim, support your cause, and resolve issues. Accept that we are all different, and that, that is what makes us the same. Do these things. Bow. Smile and watch the curtain close as the crowd cheers with acceptance. For, what is the point of living life if you have no life to give? Make sure you have a positive Presence. That is all.
And-- Scene!

We see that it's here, but do we care?
Wake up. Get out of bed. Devote this day to observation. Look around you. What do you see and how do you feel about it?
I see a sidewalk riddled with cigarette butts. I smell smoke in the air. I taste the paste of humidity. And, just standing outside my dorm room I notice scattered soda cans and beer bottles that twist around with the leaves. I can just imagine the night that ended with those empties. By envisioning the state that these few friends most likely were in, I see that they must have been enjoying themselves and feeling funky. I don't like to litter. I do understand, however, that these boozing buddies were nowhere near a recycling bin. On an even stranger note, the nearest garbage can would have been a five minute walk, and we all know that if you're a student walking any lengthy amount of distance with a handful of empties, people are going to think you're up to something funky.
So in this certain situation, the riddle of litter that I spotted must have spawned from the initial fear of getting busted. It was the fear of authority crashing down on their inhibition to do what is right for the environment. On the same note, it was the authority that did not properly place garbage and recycling bins on the Purchase Campus. There are a slim 3 garbage cans in the quad. Three cans for four buildings flooded with lazy, hungry and hurried students that are doing their best to digest the polluted beauty that is, Purchase College.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love this school. The people here are great. So many of us here have a drive towards making a difference. On a nice day, you can find hundreds of students making friends and memories under the heat of the sun. People chatting it up. Hippy jam sessions. Circles of people sitting on the grass puffing intellect into the air around them. You can smell the good times that roll around this campus.
All around the quad, you can see it. Garbage. Why? Maybe because there are hundreds of hungry and hurried college students living in a consumer world wrapped up in paper or plastic that are all trying to find a place to throw their garbage away. That brings a problem. There are only three garbage cans in the quad. There is something funky about that.

Purchase '08/'09 Theme -- Environment
Just in case you were not already aware; the Purchase College Association annually indicates the combined fall and spring semesters with an adjoining theme. Just in case you were wondering; this years theme, that was shamelessly selected, is now "Environment." Yes! I knew this funky campus could take a stand against the negetive effects of Global Warming. How far did human-kind have to come to get to the state of realization that we presently are?
RAH-RAH - - The big bang surfaced an explosion that spread a riptide of energetic continuation. . . Some time passes. . . Harnessing philosophy and mathematics, humans were able to produce electrifying results. An infinite amount of possibile hypotheses with an infinite amount of results can lead to two things: mass insanity or mass sanity. If we were sane, we would tame the environment and if we were insane, we would let the dying world perish. Purchase College claims to want to help the Environment.
So logically, if somebody wanted to help the environment, then they would want to recycle their aluminum, paper and plastic products back into circulation. This idea is somehow blatantly common-knowledge. The simple concept of seeing paper, plastic and aluminum as recyclable natural resources seens almost hereditary to know at this point in the modern world. An innumerable account of discoveries in human history have zipped into consciousness as substantial and zipped out as plainly rhetorical ideas. ZING - - gone with the wind.
FLASH - - A light bulb! VROOM - - the engine! BOOM - - the A-Bomb. MmM - - the ipod. Oh, how I wonder what the onomatopoeia for "onomotapoeia" would be. The sweet harmony of sound is righteous. Therefore, whoever enjoys the sweet harmony of sound is a righteous being.
What of when the harmony is disturbed? I could stray many varied ways with that question, but instead, I will start by mentioning the harmony of life that I've noticed on Earth. Life beyond humans. Life that encompasses all things living on Earth. If this balance is broken into bits of rubble by pollution, then the ozone layer will deplete to a degree of unsustainability that will conclude inevitably that the Earth's harmony has been disturbed. Laziness. Such events could be prevented so long as the environment was kept clean. Humans must consciously help clean! Cleansliness means healthiness and if this world is clean then there will be no further concern regarding the health problems that planet Earth faces. You think Cancer's bad? Imagine how the intire planet would feel during it's undergoing of cardiac-arrest! Far out, I know.
Environmental friendliness is at its peak right now within the minds of most Americans. Purchase College is stepping up to the plate as a University and saying, "Yes we can help make a difference." It is a good initial start to say that making a difference is on the menu, but to actually cook up a delicious recipe to enthuse people into buying the idea that your selling, it has to conform to the characteristics of youth, aesthetics, awareness and ability.
Most people want be told when to start something, but when something has started when most people are not aware, it is harder for them to catch up to that "something." We are told that Purchase College has decided to "Go Green" for the environment, but what examples has it set for those under its influence.
The continuation of my next few blogs will focus on such circumstances in fuller detail and at greater length. Right now, it is a late late night for a man who misses his lover dearly and needs to fall asleep. Until next time, this has been Something Funky. ( this post was written at the point of time after the auther began slipping in and out of sleep )
