strange lights, pretty things?

I spent the weekend in Las Vegas. I had to visit my best friend and I needed to prepare my mind for this move. This time around I got to experience "Vintage Vegas" where all the casions, lights, and gambler came to be. It was disgusting in this surreal way. The beauty of that whole strange circus was that there was live sound all around. However the real beauty was not anywhere near the epicenter of lust and greed, but in the Red Rocks. There are really amazing earth structures, water, trees, green green green. I needed to humble myself within nature. It was a wonderful escape from the glitz and glam of Vegas. Leaving Las Vegas and going over the Hoover Dam, my friend shouted at the tourists" The American Dream isn't real, Progress is a lie, Take your pictures now because in twenty years this will be blown up." That pretty much sums up leaving Vegas. I'm leaving out a lot of words, but I have music to make!
peace.

systems...

i believe that in order to "break" any system you must work with it. working inside the fabrication in order to make sense of any future revolution. but in my mind, revolution is not complete anarchy, it still requires system and works on imperfections, however the goals are for progress instead of keeping with tradition.
this is just something i've been thinking about hard as i try to make sense of the next stages in my life. the more i think, the more i realize that action is incredibly more necessary. i'm just frustrated by the idea of everyone waiting for shit to change. it just won't if we don't let it. so viva la revolution !
"Open your windows
Open your doors
Open your minds
To a freedom of thought
Raise our voices, raise our flag
Smash the symbols of the life never had
Long live the symbols
Long live the scheme
Long live our hopes
Long live the dream
Dance in the streets at the carnival
Celebrate the victory now
Drink the wine from the rich man's cask
This revolution won't be the last"
