different from the rest, alike to their kind. radical – Tyler the Creator. Odd. Strange. Not the same. Drastic difference.

To be radical is to be of bliss,
where warm breath does breathe,
and great love doth kiss.
From your radical eyes to my radical mind,
I know you are truly one of a kind.
I was thought of as radical by all of my friends when I was growing up, just because my dad imposed rules on me that no one else agreed with : I was expected to wear skirts and long dresses, no sleevless tops, i couldn’t eat food with hydrogenated vegetable oil, which cut out most processed foods, I could only have one friend over per month, and I couldn’t watch any TV.

Radical is a funny word. Radical usually means out of the norm, but in today’s terms in means “cool” or “sick”, like “radical man!”… I wish I were radical. I always wanted to be in an adventure, with an adrenaline rush. Like Percy Jackson, or Thomas and the Maze Runner, or Harry Potter.

When I think of Radical I think of a surfer saying “Hey that’s totally rad bro!” I think of waves on a beach and the wind in my hair. Total Bliss. Everything I could ever ask for.

“Radical, dude.” He said to me, but I couldn’t echo the sentiment. It was hard to keep a straight face. Selling the board was worse than death, in some ways. Surfing had been my life, my passion, for years. Giving up was the hardest thing I had to do.

its the new word. well technically its the old word, but its needs to be brought back. its real. shit, its radical. it means changing the things you thought were fact and taking control in a life that’s more or less uncontrollable. let yourself be radical person and let your life be interesting. you can be radical. you can be real. its just up to your thoughts.

radical she called it. the colors splattered across the page looked…something. they looked something. but radical, to me, was a word reserved for a deeper meaning. not simply art, but art that reached beyond the norm…but perhaps her meaning was lost on me.
It may seen radical in retrospect, but at the time it was a good idea.Yes. Yes, I know. Uh huh. Of course we didn’t plan to decimate the population, or to destroy all hope of future humans. What point are you trying to make with this, mother?
Oh great, math class again.
Having to go to that darn old symmetrical room, with the triangles as the ceiling and the squares as the walls.
And all those numbers that don’t even make sense, don’t even fit into an odd or even number.
Just forever going on, like pi.
Watch as it stretches on for miles, unceasing in its length. The horizon cannot even cut it off.

awesome.

fast times at ridgemed high, out of control, out of left field, not boring, not plain, radical in shape and form, what a groovy word.

It was a radical thought that went through my mind. Then I grabbed his hand jumped into the lake, thinking ‘What the hell? It can’t hurt anything.’
Oh that saying of hippies above,

radical is a word that a surfer dude will use when applying to something that he thinks is really fun, or cool.
Forgive-The-Fate-Bdog
I think that it mean amazing!! Like if you do something really cool you could be like that was totally radical!
It isn’t really such a new idea, but the way they stared at her, you would have thought she had proposed televised bear baiting. She just tried to convince them of the radical notion that people are worth saving.
Radical sounds like a word surfers use! “Dude , that wave is so radical!” I went to the beach once, and I heard surfers really saying that! I was right! Radical!
“Radical!” Josh exclaimed, as he watched his favourite skateboarding hero unveil his latest gnarly trick. Josh adored skateboarding, always has, and has always aspired to pulling off some of the tricks that he’s seen his idols pull off; jumps reaching insane heights as they pull of mind-blowing tricks and stunts, amazing flips in spins in mid-air, almost defying gravity.

Are my beliefs radical?
not in relativity
when compared to Ayn Rand
yet i never claim modesty
i never remain neutral
if you don’t form your own opinions
someone else will form them for you
no one dare tell me what to think
i am radically independent
and radically me

“You’ve dived off the deep end, you’re too radical” she said to me with a tear trembling in her eye, “Society will beat you to your knees and won’t let you stand back up. You can’t change the world, those controlling it have too much power. Can’t you just keep quiet and live a simple life like grandpa did, he took care of his family well?” But I couldn’t give in, not even to my crying grandma. I can’t live in the past, the future comes faster than it once did and to take care of my family i must expand on it definition – my family is humanity. I don’t fear imprisonment or worse, I fear living and being silent with what solutions I know.
Give me a long division problem – I can do it. Give me radicals, no sweat. Derivatives? First grade. But you, you I can’t seem to figure out. You’re the anomaly of my paradigm.
Radical is a word that really isn’t used anymore because no one thinks radical is cool anymore. it resembles something a surfer dude would say which is ironic. Well actually not really but that’s okay. But it means cool even though it alone isn’t cool at all.
He was slightly radical, promiscuous in a way such a small, provincial town knew not how to handle.
He was not to be tampered with; you could not lick a finger and extinguish him like a flame, nor assist him in becoming a proper civillian he had once spewed.
He was intimate with the wonders of proximity to a human, and how it could both alarm them and unnerve them.
He was not to be touched; he did not know how to touch.

Kindness, compassion, and care. With an element of submissiveness to the wants and needs of others that in truth is actually only respect. Forgetting one’s own needs is never the way to go, but it is a reminder that ego sometimes speaks to us in ways that not only do we not understand but as well as those around us.
Find a way to communicate your needs in a way that firmly says what they are. Regardless of the clash it will have with the environment that surrounds you.
The 60s were the shit. Despite the fact that war was raging in much of South America, Cuba was about to blow our brains out, and The Beatles broke up. I still wish I lived back then though, cause those were radical times. And smoking pot was basically socially acceptable.
Amy
We try to eliminate radicals from the denominator, but it’s absolutely acceptable to have radicals in our denominators. As long as the base is sane, we can sprinkle some excitement on top to give our lives meaning.
A mere cephalopod
radical, like dude speak of many years ago. Many meanings, though, can mean a very unusual way of dressing; a new hairstyle, something wild and fun. or could be a change in landscaping design. or a new hat. or a different method of preparing food. or acting in a new manner. say you win the lottery, your life would change radically.
something happened, i pressed sent and got a message that I already repeated that. this is a good example of being radical .quite daring, I continue to type and to correct my outrageous spelling and radical keystrokes. looking forward to being outside.

radical. i can say i’d describe myself using this word. or maybe while describing my hair.
