ALIEN

To us, ALIEN was the bastard love-child of a little garage band named REVOLUTIONARY and a few passionate dreams that died along the way. That said, there probably won't ever be music on this site, at least not for a long time, and we apologize for that. But a few people sent us friend requests anyways, so we figured this page could be kept as a little doorway to a few other people with unique ideas.As to what ALIEN symbolizes to us, if anything, is a reminder that everyone has a gift or curse, an ability or an obstacle, or just some aspect of their soul that separates them from everyone else. If you just realize this uniqueness in everyone or more importantly, realize why it matters, then our world becomes a bit more alien, a bit more strange and beautiful in its own right, and you'll see that there's still wonder left in this realm. Maybe, just maybe, there's still something on our planet that makes it worth saving.So embrace most the powers and dreams that will make you uniquely useful to your companions, your country, your world, and most importantly, your self. Everyone you will ever meet has something to teach you in their own way, and you have just as much to give to them.You need only to embrace your knowledge and those learning with you, embrace your passion and those standing beside you, and embrace your ingenuity and those building a better world all around you. Embrace what makes you ALIEN.And see, here's the interesting thing. Just look at our Top Friends list and you're going to see a variety of perceptions. So we might not agree with every single thing one of them says, but we do agree with many of them, and we'll still, as the saying goes, fight to the death for their right to say it. That's a war we should all be willing to fight because it's the one we can never stop fighting.Maybe the real battle's just beginning. What we need to realize is what its focus must be. We have to fight for free speech, but free speech means nothing if no one's listening. Open discourse—or more importantly, logical discourse—needs to be more prevalent in our society. Even if we don't support someone's logical arguments, we should be willing to fight for their voice to be heard.For your own sake, force yourself to ask WHY something is happening and not just believe in those who refuse to tell you anything but that it JUST IS. Take some time to learn about some of those arguments and beliefs that you hold so sacred. Then learn about the other side's arguments. Then ask yourself why you're only learning two sides.So why do you need to do this? Your life's probably not that bad. If you're reading this right now, chances are you don't have any problems with the government trying to arrest you or anything drastic like that. So why are we making an issue out of all this?Because this isn't just something that will better our Earth, that will just make its lands safer or its people more united. This isn't just about preventing a future United Police States of America or fighting those who cause pain and suffering in the world. It's not really even about fighting anyone. It's about fighting apathy.This is about our collective destiny. This is about becoming who we were meant to be. For some, this means finding the strength we know is hiding inside ourselves. For others, this means realizing that the strength was even there to begin with. We have to open our minds to a world and a people that need us so desperately. We must be free thinkers by responsibility.
