What was.....versus...What is.......versus......

What is going to be....
(this has been my ongoing philosophical approach to the current year of 2009)....

Today is my philosophical day....a day of purpose...
a day of purpose....
a day where everything is interconnected...
a day of sound meaning....
a day where life is determined by its relation to other life....

I haven't written much poetry in the past few years despite my inner push within to do more...
I've been neglecting my urge because of laziness and a well packed schedule of monotony...     
However, today I try to bring a resurgence of that creative side of my brain....
that usage of the imagination that brought forth so much life and excitement in my earlier years...
(look at me talking like I'm 50 yrs old or something)....

Anyhoot, I'm going to start it off by listing some observances made by Paul Ekman:
(these observances have made their way into my ever growing self written Poker Bible)...
7 PRIMARY FACIAL EXPRESSION OF THE HUMAN BEING:
             1.  HAPPINESS
             2.  SADNESS
             3.  FEAR
             4.  ANGER
             5.  DISGUST
             6.  SURPRISE
             7.  CONTEMPT

All the aforementioned facial expression have their own "tells" if you wish....
basic bodily functions & reactions that help to determine when one of these particular expressions are in effect...

I won't go into the actual details of how you can determine these 7 primary expressions (that's a secret, ...that you can just google to find out too)....but I will lead you along a path of philosophical & behavioral enlightenment....

Now,....this is a semi decent segway into something that I've taken observance of....
LIES! LIES! LIES!..........    
there is a new tv show on the airwaves that is called "Lie To Me" starring Tim Roth (who btw is a dope actor)....
It's basic premise is no different from the show MC and I love "HOUSE"....basically this genius works with a bunch of intelligent people and he uses his extraordinary gifts to help solve mysteries....
Tim Roth uses the fact that everyone LIES to figure out the motive behind which they are lying....

I too have taken notice of the fact that every single person in the world LIES...on a pretty regular basis....
(now I'm not defining the difference between a minor white lie or a major lie, merely that lies are a regular repertoire of the human psyche)....

for me, there are only 3 reasons why people LIE (this too has made its way into my P.B., on the same page as the Ekman reference)...
1. HIDE
2. HYPE
3. HARM
I call them the 3 "H's".......
basically, either we are Hiding something with our lies......or we are hyping something up with them...or we have intention to harm with them.....

For me, the key to efficiently predicting one's actions is to first define the motive behind the lies.....
once that has been established, you have to respond to what has been given to you.....
many people respond with 1 of the 7 primary facial expressions (sometimes in the form of "microexpressions", which are miniscule reactionary reflexes to any given situation...these occur in such quick time, sometimes 1/15 of a second, that its very difficult for the untrained eye to recognize...).....

I am trying very diligently to train myself to recognize such (micro)expressions.....it is NOT easy whatsoever....
but in this journey of development you tend to find out a lot about your own self, since you are the only person you see so frequently that you can analyze ....
I mean, only you really know what you intend to do or how you felt about a specific situational response of yours....
So, if you're honest with yourself, you can truly learn a lot about your own (micro)expressions, which in turn will assist you in developing the reading skills to interpret other peoples (micro)expressions......

I put micro in parentheses because it is not always a micro expression that is the determining factor, many times its just the average facial expression that gives the most reliable clue as to what's going on in a person's mind....

Granted a lot of this experimentation results in wrong assumptions, miscalculated answers and even leading down a road that was so far from "truth" (coz after all "truth" and "reality" are 2 separate things, although they can just as easily be the same exact thing)....that you end up following yourself down a wormhole that leads to a black nothingness......

where was I?......oh yes, I was rambling about Lies.....
I lie to myself.....
about the status of my health....
I lie to my wife....
about my past life.....
I lie to mother earth...
about my brother's birth....
even in the midst, of trying to exist,
I find a clinched fist, denoting I'm pissed....
but the skyline shines on my clouded mind...
keeping me on the grind, time after time....
coz in this living hell, only time will tell...
the linear path, is what's designed to sell....
but if we use our imagination more....
we truly find what's in store.

I'm just a self absorbed single child grinder who thinks too much and overanalyzes such I tend to hear voices in my head but discount them quik as the dead all my life I was told it'll end early seen enough to belief it thoroughly but why in the same respect do I break my neck to correct the faults I see? when all I really need to do is be me? Thinking of the things I've done, I come to the conclusion, that the hell we live is what was given to us in trust or bust, I must take each step with proper direction minimize the faults in every intersection meet the characters I see throughout the journey listen more than I talk in a hurry we all get down in more ways than one, but who doesn't feel good while facing the sun? Each of us brings a unique piece to the puzzle, piece by piece and corner by corner we find our purpose in the picture that's gonna, be framed in the heavens when the earth crumbles in, that's just merely when new life begins.

I leave this cyberspace rant with a 2 pictures for good faith.......

Peace to the teacher...


Now try not to masterbate...
