'Cause I Got My Philosophy.
Subjective words bother me.
I've noticed lately that its not in my character to be able to hang in the balance of the mysetry of a word that is allowed to have a different meaning whenever its used. For this reason, I could never be an artist.
But its the term philosophy that's been driving a ten foot ice pick in the side of my nogan as of late.
While it isn't subjective, the word itself is just mindnumbingly stupid. Or maybe its the idea around it that makes it so dumb. Or maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about.
When you think about it, the word philosophy should be viewed as a verb rather than a noun. While someone is capable of thinking and speaking the idea, it really only becomes a true philosophy when you act upon it. Actions speak louder than words, you know what I'm on about.
Or do you?
There are a lot of ideas that anyone could get caught up in. And I suppose the most genius of conversations is when two people can sit and discuss the universe, its cosmic winds and the butterflies that float on it, but where's the point?
There is no point, unless you create one that is tangible.
Its sort of like saying you're going to drop twenty pounds and then go to the Avondale for a box of twinkies. Its nice to think about, but when you literally need to back that ass up (metaporically and physically), the philosophy comes up short.
So my point? Its the action man. Doing is better than saying. Duh.
I've been stuck in numerous conversations as of late where people have poked me into being a philosophy major for no good reason whatsoever. Sure, I can get lost in an idea, but at the end of the day, I need shit done and discussing the matter till its bleeding and lying dead on my livingroom floor does not make it ok. AKA: Cleaning up the grey matter doesn't cut the butter.
And what do I do now?
Nothing. I keep talking and hope that someone will be kind enough to agree with the idea and then maybe... Maybe we will make sweet, sweet philosophy action and I will be the happiest woman the world has ever seen.

Whats funny is this post in itself happens to be a Philosophy on the word/defination Philosophy. The Philosophical world and the inhabitants Philosophizing in it are usually hypocritical douche bags that just like to bullshit and don't actually know what the word means.
To find a true Philosophizer that actually believes and commits to his Philosophizes is a gem in a vast wasteland of dung, especially one that doesn't have a stolen or bastardized version of a real Philosophy. You can't really consider yourself a Philosophizer or having a Philosophy if you don't follow it exactly.
Today the term Philosophy means i'm to lazy to get a real job and don't know or want to bother thinking about it. So I will just pretend to know what I'm talking about and spurt some bullshit irrational theroy of the cosmos well i'm wearing my pouncho smoking me a blunt.
I agree that by today's standards it should be classifed as a verb meaning indifference or undecided/changing of your reasoning for things spiritual and pyshical.
Its rare to see someone get a philosophy build it up and back it. Then act apon it. Most people fall short on the building it up and actually giving there theroy some serious teeth to give it some sort of creditial backing. The hardest part of any Philosophy is backing it 100%.
In the end Philosophy just means your habbits and reason for doing things. Like what side of the bed is your wrong side. Its different for everyone and we all have it if we think about it or not. Cause if you don't do what is natural like get out of that right/left side things will be off for that day.
Whats funny to me though is the term philosophy in the dictionary is messed up in itself. If you look it up you will see philosophy is usually related to very strict and guided references. But when you look up philosophizer it is very random and abstract. Which makes no sense since based on philosophy you would think to philosophize would be to follow your philosophy, but it is to think up new and irrational theroies. Confusing
In then end this is just non sense and I don't even know if it pertains to anything you have even written. I'm just Philosophizing about philosophy
PS we need to hang out haha
I love you Thalion.
You writing your thoughts on this matter, couldn't have come at a better time.
Excellent summary.
