What is this all about?

As crazy as it may seem, I am a firm believer that we humans are animals who have married ourselves to a societal notion. What is that notion? Everyone is told how they should feel, look, and live by multiple sources. Every day we are bombarded with ads and campaigns to buy a product because it is the new hot stuff on the market. If you don't buy their stuff then you will be more depressed, not as attractive, and just completely uncool. The greatest irony of all of this is the fact that all of these products that we have to buy and all of these foods and drugs that we have to consume in order to be happier are possibly bringing us farther from where we want to be. 

But where do we want to be? Something I personally find hilarious is how humans have no idea what we want until it is presented to us. So I am making an effort to find exactly what it is that we as humans really need in life in order to be comfortable, content, and just all around happy. Personally, I try to live outside of the societal notion. I take a look at what I see in society and I rationalize it for myself.  On a day to day basis, I try my best to find ways to stay mentally and physically healthy. I am constantly coming across people who have alternative ideas about how to maintain health. I have successfully thrown away most of the stuff I was taught about life while growing up and now am in the process of building a stronger foundation of morals and wisdom. 

Now, being a full time student who holds both a job and an internship, I am usually pretty busy and will try to post stuff for this blog at least once a week.  What will I talk about you ask?  I plan on spontaneously jumping onto the occasional bandwagon and telling you what I think. I will be finding new people with new ideas and discussing them. I will be telling you guys about what I know and what I learn. I will review "green" concepts and products. Finally, I plan on telling people about what impacts they may have on the environment and show how easy it is to be less of a consumer. 


I also look forward to hearing about what my followers have to say. So please! If you have any suggestions, ideas, questions, or just a comment, please let me know.
