Students for a Noble Society

“Your imagination, your initiative, and your indignation will determine whether we build a society where progress is the servant of our needs, or a society where old values and new visions are buried under unbridled growth...So let us from this moment begin our work so that in the future men will look back and say: It was then, after a long and weary way, that man turned the exploits of his genius to the full enrichment of his life.” -President Lyndon B. Johnson

In recognition of the undesirable condition of a large part of the Human community, and fueled by the belief that small deeds can lead to great results, the members of Students for a Noble Society dedicate themselves to making a positive impact through community service. By the creation of an open, non-selective organization and by bringing together a diverse group of students to tackle the diverse ailments of our community, the Society hopes to play a role in improving the overall quality of life in Berkeley.

To accomplish this, we commit ourselves to these aims:

- The complete rejection of all forms of apathy. There is nothing more destructive than the person who does not care.

- The propagation of Community. Without a sense of responsibility to each other, and our city, nothing worthwhile can be accomplished.

- Unwavering dedication to tolerance and acceptance. Students for a Noble Society will not be selective in its service projects and will never show preference to organizations/persons in need according to religious affiliation, ethnicity, or political ideology.

- To foster an atmosphere that cultivates and encourages creative thinking. The problems that face most communities today were present a hundred years ago. It is clear that what is needed is creativity and not emulation.

- Anyone who is willing to work will be accepted into the Society. Membership will never be based on monetary dues.

-To create an organization to serve those who wish to serve.

Although the problems we hope to solve are daunting, and our goals lofty, taking the first step is important. What we propose is not just action, but most importantly, transformation of thought. We must stop thinking of Berkeley, and of other cities, as just a backdrop to our lives. Our cities are our homes, our neighbors are our brothers and sisters, and our family needs our help. As students of humanity, whether it be humanity throughout history or humanity in the sciences, it is our duty to try to improve the condition in which our family finds itself. It is this belief, and our dedication to our principles, that fuels our efforts and that will allow us to succeed.

So fuck it then.

My summer consists of Integration, Masturbation, and Watermelon Consumption.

What a country.

When I was driving to school today I had to folly one of those giant lawnmowers down a narrow road. It was the kind that mows fields with its giant wings of steel. At this moment there was some apeshit fusion of traditional asian and jazz music playing on the radio. So this lawnmower became a water buffalo, and I became an impatient scholar forced to follow it. While at the same time I felt an odd sense of pease and contentment with the world as we crept together down this suburban path.

Lots of apeshit things happening. I feel trapped. Well, trapped in boredom.

Back to my numbers, more to come someday.

My day:

Got up, polished myself and went to rendezvous with Seb at Golfland. when I started the car, "Last Kiss" was playing..which was wildly inappropriate.

Went to, and enjoyed Victoria's memorial.

got a haircut

napped for 3 hours

ate an entire frozen pizza for dinner.

walking past Starbucks
I hear the shattering of glass
and catch a chucking skinhead walking past me
at the table, a hobo
his knapsack slightly open
staring down at the shattered bits of what was a bottle of peppermint schnapps
as the smells of alcohol and mint tango up into our noses, I see the sad, lost stare in his face
and the yuppied pretended not to notice
but I did 
 this man moved me

maybe one night he had shared a bottle with his comrades as the cold wind made the mint feel cooler, and the stir of the chemical made his heart feel warmer, laughing with lust at the stars and warming his hands by the fire.

But now he's in Sunnyvale, and he's just lost his friend.

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen.

Hypothesis:

1. Given that men cannot dress themselves.

2. We assume that they let women in their lives do it for them.

3. Given that women like well-dressed men.

Is it possible that when  a woman sees a well dressed man, she is subconsciously acknowledging the fact that he has good relationships with the women in his life?

This is but a taste of what's to come.
